On September 22, 2004, Roman Tsepov died of poisoning, whose private security company “Baltic-Escort” once guarded Vladimir Putin and the family Anatoly Sobchak. This was preceded by an interesting criminal story. In the early 2000s, a certain Alexei Mironov addressed the authority of the Tyumen organized crime group Oleg Makivka with a request to organize a meeting with Roman Tsipov. The essence of the issue that Alexei Mironov planned to discuss with Tsepov was to help appoint his man as a head of the Astrakhan-Gazprom company, a subsidiary of a Russian gas monopolist. Kepov answered positively, but refused to meet with Mironov, and asked for five and a half million dollars for his services. All negotiations passed through a makovoz, which transferred money and was a guarantor of fulfilling all obligations.

Sources said that the appointment of a position in Gazprom and his subsidiaries of chains was resolved through the deputy chairman of the security of the gas monopolist Sergey Lukash. Mironov knew this. By the beginning of 2003, he began to get nervous. The money was transferred, the right purpose did not happen in any way, and in February, among other things, it became known that Sergei Lukash was dismissed from his position.

Responsibility for the refund, of course, fell on a makovoz. On this basis, a conflict flared up between him and Roman Tsepov. Tsepov refused to return the money. Instead, he organizes an assassination attempt on a makowosis (criminal case No. 2-30/06). But the murder breaks down, and his organizer Denis Dolgushin and the performers of some Yu. Sudnev and the Bobylev brothers are arrested.

Dolgushin does not last long during the investigation and is recognized as a whole bouquet of contract killings. Another person involves appears in the case, he is also the customer-Vladimir Barsukov-Kumarin, at the direction of which these crimes were committed. But in February-March 2004, according to our data, Kumarin was organized a meeting with Dolgushin directly in the housing department in St. Petersburg, after which Dolgushin changes his testimony and, in some miraculous way, instead of the “Kuma”, Oleg Makozhova becomes the customer of all the murders. And the operational support of the new high -profile case is personally led by the head of the criminal police of St. Petersburg, Vladislav Piotrovsky.

For Tsepov, this story also ended sadly. On September 11, 2004, Roman Tsepov felt a strong malaise and the driver took him to the nearest hospital. After 10 days, he died in intensive care of poisoning.
