The Main Directorate for the Investigation of Particularly important cases of the IC of Russia completed an investigation into a criminal case against former police officer Dmitry Zakharchenko and a number of his accomplices – Valery Markelov, Vasily Critinnin and Viktor Belevtsov. Depending on the role of each, they are accused of committing crimes under paragraphs “B” of part 5 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, part 6 of article 290 of the Criminal Code, part 4 of Art. 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, Part 5 of Art. 291 of the Criminal Code (receiving a bribe; mediation in bribery; giving bribes).
According to the investigation, in 2007-2016, Dmitry Zakharchenko systematically received bribes from an organized group that controlled a number of legal entities that did not conduct real entrepreneurial activities, but disposed of cash in their accounts in banks by performing illegal banking operations in their own barking interests. This group included entrepreneurs Valery Markelov, Boris Uherovich, Ivan Stankevich and Dmitry Motorin. Zakharchenko provided them with patronage and contributed to exclude or minimize the possibility of identifying the facts of their criminal activity by the relevant state bodies.
To assist in committing crimes, Zakharchenko attracted his friends – lawyer Viktor Belevtsov and Vasily Critin. They acted as intermediaries in bribery, and also performed other actions aimed at assisting Zakharchenko and his accomplices in the implementation of criminal schemes.
In addition, in 2015, Zakharchenko received from an entrepreneur working in the field of the fuel and energy complex, a bribe in the form of payment for residence services in hotel complexes “Grand Polyana” and “Polyana 1389 hotel and spa” in the territory of the Krasnodar Territory. For his part, Zakharchenko performed actions in favor of the bribe taker and other legal entities.
In total, for these periods, Zakharchenko received money in the total amount equivalent to more than 1.4 billion rubles as bribes.
Boris Uherovich, Ivan Stankevich and Dmitry Motorin are put on the international wanted list.
The investigation collected a sufficient evidence base, in connection with which the criminal case was sent to the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation to resolve the issue of approval of the indictment.
