The Cheka-OGPU had at its disposal an appeal decision on the search of the shadow dollar billionaire and owner of Slavia Bank Asad Mehdiev. In it, the court criticizes the defense of the shady businessman and points out that “the permission (to search-RED) was due to the need to investigate a criminal case, within which the rights of citizens may be limited, but only on the basis of legal requirements. In this case, the requirements of the law were fully complied with.” However, after the searches, the criminal investigation was suddenly stopped, at the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office. The case was about the raider takeover of companies and real estate in Moscow. Mehdiev himself likes to share the “secret” of such a solution in the privacy of an expensive restaurant with his friends. He claims to be close to the head of the State Security Service of Azerbaijan, Ali Nagiyev. And the latter, on his instructions, resolves any issues on the territory of the Russian Federation. Allegedly, he personally calls his colleague, FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, with a petition. On smaller issues, Mehdiev and his management structure are in constant contact with the head of the FSB Directorate, Ivan Tkachev. And they solve Mehdiev’s problems. I would like to believe that this is only the boasting of a “shadow worker”, and not the real situation in law enforcement agencies and special services of the Russian Federation
