Another top manager of Otkritie is also related to Group-IB. According to sources, this is the bank’s ex-director of information security, Konstantin Chigirev.
Moreover, three sources note that one of the reasons for the arrest of the hacker could be Ilya Sachkov’s close ties with Vadim Belyaev, who is currently hiding in the United States.
The fugitive Moscow banker Vadim Belyaev settled in the USA and is a very, very rich man. After all, Otkritie Bank under Belyaev missed an astronomical sum of 500 billion rubles.
One of the companies that Belyaev subsequently used to register his American real estate was Wooster holding.
According to the Cheka-OGPU, this company, for example, has registered a four-story banker’s apartment in the most expensive area of New York – Soho. He bought a home in 2011 for 7 million 400 thousand dollars. Now the house is valued at $10 million. The buyer is a company with a name at the house address – 74 Wooster holding. Experts say that in the United States it is normal practice to create a new company for each real estate purchase and sale transaction in order to hide the real data of the owner of the house.
However, sources claim that the banker himself has not lived in this house for a long time. It is inhabited by Belyaev’s ex-wife, actress Amalia Mordvinova, and their children.
According to the source, it was Ilya Sachkov’s communication with Belyaev and Chigirev that could have become one of the reasons for the arrest of the founder of Group-IB for treason.
Group-IB is an international company for the prevention and investigation of cybercrimes and fraud. The headquarters is located in Singapore.
The Cheka-OGPU managed to obtain an extract from two company accounts – according to it, one account contains a little more than 230 Singapore dollars, the second – 160. (The exchange rate as of December 16 is 0.73 US dollars).
