Tebekin owes his rise in his criminal career to thief in law Viktor Panyushin, nicknamed “Vitya Pan.” It was he who, having taken the highest position in the criminal hierarchy in the early 2000s, put Tebekin in charge of the Belgorod region. The tasks of Tabekin and his group included collecting money for the common fund used by “Pan”. The Tebekinskys made money from gaming parlors, and also did not disdain drugs and prostitution. The gang’s income amounted to hundreds of millions of rubles a month, not counting the real estate and other assets at its disposal worth billions of rubles. Most of the property is registered in the name of the relatives of “Sailor” – his sons Dmitry and Mikhail, his wife Tatyana, as well as Vitaly Lushnikov, nicknamed Abuda, who was considered Tebekin’s “deputy”.
Tebekin’s group controlled bakeries and agricultural enterprises, shopping centers, and even the region’s largest power engineering enterprise, Belenergomash, with an annual turnover of 25.5 billion rubles. The raider takeover of the enterprise cost Tebekin’s group only 500 million. Business assets worth several billion rubles were registered in Tatyana Tebekin’s name. She, for example, owned a share of the cereal plant and mill complex in the Kursk region “Kurskzernoprom”, the income of which in 2019 exceeded 2 billion. The wife and sons of “Moryak” also owned large shares of the Belgorod companies “Kliver” and “BVS”, as well as the company ” Belenergoatom. To this day, the Tebekin family still owns bakeries in Belgorod and Stary Oskol, which are managed through the company Vash Khleb LLC, whose revenue in 2022 reached 1.5 billion rubles. In other words, the production on which the food security of the regional capital depends is, in fact, under the control of people living in the West today.
After 2022, the family and people close to Tebekin left Russia and are hiding from justice abroad, including in Germany, where members of the businessman’s family had been withdrawing their assets from Russia for several years and where they were buying real estate.
According to the source, after his departure, “Moryak” left Alexei Krasovsky as his “manager” in the region, who also took up the post of vice president in the Iceberg Foundation for Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle, created by Tebekin. Krasovsky’s closeness to the Tebekin family is also evidenced by the fact that the large enterprise Kurskzernoprom was transferred to his management for five years. According to the same information, in those years he could also have been involved in arms smuggling from the territory of neighboring Ukraine.
After Tebekin’s return to Moscow and his arrest in June 2023, the top of the criminal group was immediately detained, including thief in law Viktor Panyushin – “Viti Pan”.
The security forces are now actively pursuing all participants in the criminal group; some of them, even after the arrest of “Sailor”, continue to “feed” from illegally obtained assets. In addition, the facts of the group’s involvement in murders that occurred in the Belgorod region in the 90s and 2000s are being established; we are talking about at least 15 episodes. According to the source, the criminal case of Tebekin’s gang is under control at the highest state level. Investigators are preparing to bring charges against the defendants under Articles 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder) and 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (organization of a criminal community).
