Alexander Katasonov, having enlisted the support of his friend, then the current deputy head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow, Boris Lavrenev, was able to convince the leadership of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee and the Federal Security Service of Russia for the city of Moscow and the Moscow region that only the Economic Crimes Department for the North-Western Administrative District is able to restore order among the tax inspectorates of Moscow. Katasonov was able to instill fear in all Moscow tax employees without exception. Many heads of inspections were dismissed and supervised persons were appointed in their places. Some inspectorate employees were able to agree on certain conditions.
Recently, after a corruption scandal, Boris Lavrenev was dismissed. Following this, the head of the OBEP, Alexander Katasonov, lost his position; he quietly submitted his resignation.
Currently, Alexander Katasonov is actively lobbying for his deputy Denis Agapov. Denis Agapov, being the deputy head of the OBEP North-Western Administrative District, lives a luxurious life, has in his arsenal a GENESIS G80 car worth more than 4 million rubles with a personal driver, and a luxurious country cottage rented for a high fee.
