Slesarev needed “Varangians” to withdraw assets from his bank (their employees would have immediately handed him over either to the mafia (Kredittrust had not only Berkovich’s money, but also representatives of a number of other organized crime groups), or at the very first interrogation by law enforcement agencies. Philip Degtyarev is excellent knew the internal accounting of the bank and could cover everything with postings, and Plytnik (pictured) had offshore accounts in Switzerland and Luxembourg. As a result, it was decided. that Degtyarev organizes all the work in Russia, and Plytnik organized in Switzerland the reception and storage of huge funds withdrawn from Credit Trust (about $600 million). Also, the trio decided to slip Berkovich “junk” loans from Credit Trust under assignment agreements, for which almost nothing. it is impossible to get real money. This, of course, was their fatal mistake.
At first the plan went well. Kredittrust transferred “bad” loans to National Capital, but everyone (except the co-owner of National Capital Alexander Shevchenko) pretended that they could get the money and pay Berkovich accordingly. The latter then got tired of waiting and demanded to give everything back immediately. And not 300 million, but 700 million rubles. But for the trio the situation was still not critical. And then the unexpected happened.
Irina Zhidkikh knew about offshore companies. It was she who introduced Plytnik to Victor Büchel back in the late 90s, who helped open accounts in Europe. Then a conflict arose between Plytnik and Zhidkikh. In 2004, Zhidkikh began working for the raider Pavel Svirsky, and he became a close partner of Berkovich and the bloody Aslan Gagiev (Dzhako). And so, Büchel tells Zhidkikh that gigantic sums have been deposited into the accounts of Western companies (in particular Busiak) associated with Plytnik. Zhidkikh shares valuable information with Svirsky, and he with Berkovich and Gagiev. They immediately understand that accounts associated with Plytnik received funds withdrawn from Credittast, including Berkovich-Dzhako’s money.
Soon after this, the co-owner of National Capital Shevchenko, Degtyarev and Plytnik were having fun in the strip club, and after Plytnik, the police “detained” the police right in front of Degtyarev. Dazhko’s fighters have already joined the topic. Only after the defeat of Gagiev’s gang was it possible to find out the fate of Plytnik. Member of the organized crime group Dzhako Goneri Dzhioeva testified about how Plytnik was kidnapped and killed after torture. An interesting moment is where Dzhioev talks about how people from the “special services” arrived in the building where Plytnik was tortured in black SUVs, one of which had a beacon. According to the source, it was Svirsky who came along with “unidentified” representatives of one of the law enforcement agencies. Berkovich and Dzhako also took part in the interrogation of Plytnik.
Under torture, Plytnik signed a huge number of documents and blank sheets, named all possible access to the withdrawn money, after which he was killed.
Plytnik’s body was dismembered, weights were tied to the remains and thrown into the river.
