According to the information received, another application was submitted to law enforcement agencies regarding Gulaev, Rapoport and Kasayev. This time under Part 5 of Article 128.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Slander”. Apparently, the trio tried to organize information dumping of a compromising nature against the injured party.
It seems that by doing so, the defendants tried to intimidate the victim and prepare a version for the outside world about an unscrupulous lender who extorts from them borrowed funds that were not repaid on time. Or was there some other purpose.
But the result was the opposite. The injured party published audio recordings and other evidence of fraudulent activities, sending a separate statement of defamation to the police against the defendants. Now Kasaev and Rapoport are forced to weakly explain to others that Gulaev set them up, and this happened to them, of course, for the first time.
At the same time, it is not very clear what Kasaev and Rapoport will explain in the future if other “debtors” appear in the case from whom funds were stolen under similar schemes.
It is noteworthy that the story of a banal fraud turned out to be beautiful in its details and nuances. And the most interesting, apparently, is yet to come.
Perhaps the answer will soon be given to whom Kasaev gave guarantees that the money would be in his safe, and why he often switched to Chechen at meetings.
Of no less informational interest are the details of how what happened intersects with the events of 10 years ago, which shook up the entire Russian media space.
