In the early 90s, Alexey Ustaev did business in St. Petersburg in company with Yevgeny Prigozhin, who crashed in a plane crash, and criminal billionaire Mikhail Mirilashvili – his Viking Bank helped the company legalize shadow income. Then Ustaev left Russia, but even from Europe he assisted Prigozhin in transferring funds for the activities of his structures abroad. In the Russian Federation, all of Ustaev’s affairs remained managed by the viceroy, Chairman of the Board of Viking Bank, Alexander Zaozersky. It is he who is considered the author of the “cunning plan” to set fire to a historical building in order to give away a tasty piece of land for development. But the trouble is that no one foresaw the deaths and injuries of firefighters, and Ustaev personally, with his most powerful law enforcement resource in the city, had to intervene in the situation with the criminal case and the trial of the managers.
Our sources report that at first they agreed with the judge for 200 thousand euros, but due to the resonance of the case, she began to hesitate, so that she even announced a break in the hearing due to “media pressure.” To convince of the necessary soft decision, about 500 thousand euros in cash were required. How this went unnoticed by the curator of the judicial sector from the M Service of the FSB for St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region Alexander Gimadiev is, of course, a rhetorical question.
