Law enforcement agencies became interested in the activities of former MIA operative, now lawyer Igor Ryabenkov. The Investigative Committee from the FSB of the Russian Federation received verification materials regarding a defense lawyer who tried to give a bribe in the amount of 250 million rubles to the leadership of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow and operatives of the Department of Economic Crimes and the PC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the termination of a sensational case against the co-founders of the company for the production of household chemicals “B&B” Alexander Balakhovsky and his son-in-law Yakov Bosinzon, as well as their accomplice Alexander Savoskin. The latter, without appreciating the seriousness of the consequences, stole the share from their business partner, the famous lawyer and fixer Denis Shapiro (Dionisy Zolotov), ​​which he purchased for $5 million. As a result, Bosinzon and Savoskin are in pre-trial detention, and Balakhovsky is under house arrest.

Boasting to Balakhovsky about his connections, he promised for 250 million rubles to change the preventive measure for all the accused to a more lenient one, as well as to terminate the criminal case with its subsequent initiation against Denis Shapiro and his lawyers. However, it didn’t work out. Now the FSB and the Investigative Committee will look into the lawyer’s actions. Investigators believe that Ryabenkov’s actions fall under the elements of a crime under Part 4 of Art. 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – mediation in bribery committed on an especially large scale.

Let us recall that on March 21, the Investigator of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation brought charges against Alexander Balakhovsky, Yakov Bosinzon, as well as the general director of the company, Alexander Savoskin, in the final version of committing particularly large-scale fraud (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), illegal use of trademarks and industrial designs (Part. 2 Art. 147, Part 3 Art. 180 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), abuse of power by the head of a commercial organization, resulting in grave consequences, and laundering of proceeds from crime (part 3 of article 33, part 2 of article 201, paragraph “b” of part 4 of article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

In addition, the co-owners of the B&B holding will soon be charged with a particularly serious charge. The Main Investigations Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow intends to add Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to the “chemists” – organization of a criminal community. According to it, swindlers face 15 to 20 years in prison.

The former mistress of the co-owner of the V&V holding, Yakov Bosinzon, and the ex-general director of the bankrupt Best Clean LLC plant, Olesya Kaplistaya, who was put on the wanted list, also came under investigation. Reward announced. She was charged in absentia with abuse of power (Part 2 of Article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). At the beginning, the case was conducted by the Investigation Department for the Southern Administrative District of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Moscow, and in December 2021 it was transferred to the capital’s main headquarters. This happened after it became known about the unprecedented pressure that the accused tried to put on investigators by publishing false information about the allegedly ordered nature of the case and the results of the investigation.

This is not surprising, because Balakhovsky’s lawyer Ryabenkov worked as an operative in the GUEB and the PC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, when the service was headed by General Denis Sugrobov, who was later imprisoned for 12 years for fabricating criminal cases. After a thorough purge of this unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ryabenkov, who had previously worked in the same boat with the famous billionaire colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko, barely escaped with his feet and subsequently received the status of a lawyer.
