The owner of Togliattiazot and Togliattihimbank, Sergei Makhlai, who has been living in the United States since 1994, gave an “exclusive” and very emotional interview with the Samara publication, in which he stood up for his banker Alexander Popov, sentenced for corruption by 7.5 years of strict regime and a 500-million-dollar fine.
As the court established, Popov, following the instructions of the Mahlai, tried in 2015 to organize a transfer of a bribe in the amount of $ 2 million to judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for a decision of the Federal Tax Service in favor of TOAZ. An attempt to corrupt judges of the All -Union of Economics fell out, however, all the facts of organizing a crime and intent to bring it to the end have been proven.
In his interview, Makhlai calls Popov “innocent”, the sentence “invented”, “shame for judges”, and everything that happens is “complete absurdity”. However, they are at all driven by concern for the former subordinate, but a banal fear for himself. Farwing Popov, Makhlai tries to relieve himself of himself both in this case and in other criminal cases, where he appears together with Popov and other participants: on the organization of a criminal community and non -payment of taxes (Articles 210 and 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). These criminal cases are currently being investigated by the TFR and is under the personal control of A.I. Bastrykin.
In 2019, Makhlai was already convicted in absentia in the case of large fraud in the conduct of export operations with Togliattiazot products. He was sentenced to 9 years in the colony and is obliged, together with other convicts, to compensate for the damage in the amount of more than 87 billion rubles.
Mahlai, judging by the emotional intensity of his interview, is extremely concerned that Popov will go to cooperation with the investigation and “surrender” everyone. But he, as a former head of the financial center of the criminal empire of Makhlaev, knows a lot of things. No wonder all two years that Popov sat in the pre-trial detention center, lawyers fed him promises that they were about to pull him out, and even tried to buy a court decision on the release for a bribe of $ 10 million, but the court did not go to generous offers. EPAIP lawyers who defended Popov were powerless.
Popov, it seemed, was hoping for liberation until the sentence, so he was silent. Now, probably, he now thinks to drive for 7.5 years or facilitate his fate by going to cooperate with the investigation.
Mahlai openly says that he will continue the struggle, he will reach the Supreme Court (is it really hoping for a bribe?) And the ECHR. It is recognized that in another criminal case several months ago, a lawsuit had already filed an ECHR. And in the ECHR, we recall, cases of violation of rights and freedoms are considered and defendants there are not people and companies, but of the state. In this case, an American citizen passing in Russia on a number of serious criminal cases wants everyone to convince everyone that the Russian state is violating its rights and intends to sue with Russia.
