In April 2019, Andrei Vasiliev was accused under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on an especially large scale), together with the former deputy head of the FSB department Dmitry Frolov and the head of the “banking” department of the FSB department Kirill Cherkalin.
Among other things, the Chekists are charged with a monthly receipt of € 100-150 thousand from the leadership of the Bank of the Bank of the Bank. The testimony of the witness describes in detail the relationship of security forces and representatives of the “creditimpect”.
“The Chairman of the Board of the KB Dmitry Katay and his two shareholders of Georgy Shkurko and Alexei Kulikov with Colonel Frolov were brought by the adviser to the head of the security bank Igor Shakhov, who was held in the military counterintelligence bodies to the title of Major General. During the next verification at the “creditimpex”, the Central Bank revealed dubious operations with counterparties, which could lead to the review of the license. Colonel Frolov agreed to become the “roof” of the bank, according to the TFR, 0.1% in the currency from operations with “improper counterparties” per month. According to investigators, from October 2007 to July 2013, bankers monthly transferred the FSB to Colonel in the Kofemania cafe on Puchechnaya Street and in other institutions of € 100-150 thousand for general protection.
The personality of Shakhov is extremely interesting. He served in the departments of the KGB of the USSR in the group of Soviet troops in Germany. And then it is the deputy chief of the FSB in the Moscow Military District. When he died, the Red Star published an ugly.
And here is what another witness said.
“Kulikov began to flaunt the fact that he had many friends and acquaintances among police officers, the FSB, various special services, tax authorities. Kulikov constantly said that he could always help him out of criminal liability. Kulikov constantly had some kind of saber Certificates of various special services, special travels to their car …
From such communication, I know that Katay turned to a certain Shakhov, a former employee of the foreign intelligence service. I later had to communicate with Shakhov, he said that he had the rank of general and was one of the deputy heads of the foreign intelligence service. Shakhov turned out to be a relative of Kulikov-Polina’s wife and he helped Katai to deal with the head of the Bankpex Bank bank.
