Our investigation into the activities of Colonel Verkhoglyad was published on September 22 and was reprinted by many other resources. During the inspection, absolutely all the facts collected by our journalists were confirmed. As a result, Verkhoglyad was dismissed from the internal affairs bodies. At the end of 2021, he became a defendant in a criminal case, and on March 3, the case came to the point of filing charges under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud) and choosing a preventive measure. The Khoroshevsky court sent him under house arrest.
During his service, Verkhoglyad did not particularly hide the fact that he was indecently rich. For example, he drove an Infinity qx80 to work wearing original Lart body kits. Of course. According to witness testimony, Verkhoglyad made hundreds of millions of rubles from the sale of respirators intended for police officers, as well as from the resale of various protective equipment. He also cheated two businessmen – he personally took money for the supply of masks and gloves, but did not deliver them. And Verkhoglyad simply took away 15 million rubles worth of products from one businessman.
The colonel had very powerful patrons. Father-in-law is a retired general, his wife is a colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A close friend is the head of the Northwestern Administrative District Internal Affairs Directorate Anton Romeiko-Gurko.
