Konstantin Tyurin became widely known in 2020 after the case of a former teacher at the Department of Acmeology and Psychology of Professional Activities of the Presidential University, after long ordeals, was brought to court. From 2013 to 2017, Tyurin ingratiated himself with a number of entrepreneurs he knew, convincing them to invest money in non-existent businesses. They used forgery of documents, fake versions of websites of foreign banks and methods of psychological influence, in which the “associate professor” was a real master.
The position of a teacher at a prestigious university played an important role in the scheme. How Tyurin managed to bypass the university security service is a different story. After all, our hero was not just a swindler, but a twice-convicted swindler – for burglary and an accident. And one of the fake higher education diplomas was “received” by Tyurin exactly while he was in prison.
Tyurin’s defense decided to pin the missing money on the director of one of the shell companies. The last “lucky” for Tyurin died in 2017 under mysterious circumstances – literally within a month after the victims wrote an appeal to law enforcement agencies. In total, Tyurin managed to swindle $28 million from entrepreneurs, which allowed the “associate professor” from Reutov to get a taste of the good life.
Tyurin managed for a long time not only to avoid pre-trial detention, despite the severity of the charges, but also miraculously forced the prosecutors to play on his side. In October 2021, as part of the cassation review of the case, prosecutor Kliment Yurzditsky demanded, no less, a review of the case, essentially accusing the judges of doing a poorly done job. Yurzditsky was not even embarrassed by the fact that Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov was interested in the sensational case.
The strange behavior of the prosecutor’s office employee, who unexpectedly played on the side of the defense, did not impress the Moscow City Court. The judges confirmed Tyurin’s five-year sentence, carefully justifying their decision on each criminal episode.
But the once-trodden path to the Prosecutor General’s Office can now be used again. Under a far-fetched pretext, they want to return the case for appeal in order to reduce the previously assigned term, as well as offset the previously served sentence according to the formula “a day and a half.” Thus, Konstantin Tyurin can exchange less than three years of imprisonment for $28 million – of course, minus the costs for the help of the “lobbyists” of this decision. Not the worst math for a convicted “associate professor.”
The focus of public attention is now occupied by completely different events. This means that it cannot be ruled out that a new “prosecutor Yurzditsky” may appear in Tyurin’s case, who will sincerely and completely disinterestedly want to participate in the fate of the successful multimillionaire from RANEPA.
