Let us recall that, according to the investigation, Gennady Bayrak demanded 2.3 million rubles from Ponomarev, which the man brought to the court and handed over to the chairman of the court in his office. On March 10, this fact was recorded by FSB officers. Mr. Bayrak, in turn, claims that Ponomarev returned to him the money he borrowed from him many years ago, agreeing to sell his house in Krasnodar.
As a result, on the audio recording Ponomarev admits to his friend that there was a house and there was a debt, but Bayrak was not arrested because of this: “This house and we are on* not needed. We are the REASON. There *goes a lot more.” He directly tells how and by whom the whole scheme was organized. At the same time, he mentioned several times that when people “came to them at night,” they thought it was from Bayrak. Why? Because there was a debt. The debt was really old. And they, naturally, were waiting for the moment when questions would begin to be asked about the repayment of the debt.
Below is a transcript of Ponomarev’s conversation with his friend.
EP: Look, things have gotten very serious. Very. You see, there’s such a thing going on there that it’s as if this house and we aren’t even fucking needed. I’ll tell you honestly. There’s a lot more crap going on there – they were digging for something else. We, as it were, there… well… how can I explain to you… well… REASON. Occasion. He was dropped… by counterintelligence. We were in Moscow. We didn’t write the statement; they came to our home. They stupidly came to our house, we shit ourselves. To be honest, they came to our house in the evening. We couldn’t understand, we thought it was him [Байрака] sides. We were simply offered this option – either like this or like that. We had no choice… He was herded for a long time. Then they bought us a ticket to Moscow, I won’t lie. We left for Moscow at night, they simply said: “Write a statement”… And then they started clapping him… They offered me a job, they said, “If you hand over this person, you come to us.” I had no choice. I went. I get my money, all my loans have been written off, everything has been written off, I have no debts. We were in Moscow, there are serious people there. Gena did not understand that the operational game had already begun. I had all the recording devices on me. I fucking wrote it all the way through. Gena, this is fucked up, he faces 20 years in prison. In short, they work specifically, they fuck specifically, and they fucked Gena specifically. In short, I’m speaking frankly because there will be a trial. Bayrak is 20 years old.
*: So there is no criminal case!
EP: It will. The judge has already been beaten, who fucking refused to lead. They’ve already broken their heads. It will, believe me. 5 days… Everything will be, everything will be. Gena will lose everything. The trial will be in Moscow.
*: On what basis?
EP: There will be a trial in Moscow. And we will be at the trial in Moscow. We will go – I, mother, as witnesses.
*: Witnesses of what?
EP: Well… that they extorted money from us… They wrote to Gen and wrote it for a long time. They even wrote thanks to me. They offered me to go work for them, so I went to work. All. Have I revealed myself? I’ll tell you honestly, the operation was on the 10th [10.03.2021]. Yes? On the 10th they fucked him there, in my opinion. On the 9th, damn it, the hotel was completely filled with security officers entirely from Moscow. We were there. People came from Moscow, generals. They were just in control of the situation. And when we arrived in Moscow and began to testify, they simply asked us. And the application has already been made for us, just sign and that’s it. And when we came to his office… we didn’t want to go, the security officers forced us – “Go, go,” and gave us this small device. But no one knows how we got there, and no one will ever know!
*: So you said so. You already told me that they came to see you.
EP: Here! You understand. He’s been herded for a long time. They came to us at night. They came to us, told us, showed us everything, we were crap, we thought it was from him. They said, “Let’s take a picture of the guys and go to Moscow.” And let’s go.
