Initially, Myazin, as his curators promised him, planned to stay in the Mozhaisk pre-trial detention center for a short time and quickly leave it. But posts in the Cheka-OGPU prevented the Mozhaisk court from making the necessary decision. Then Myazin agreed that, under conditions of increased secrecy, he would be transferred to IK-2 in the Vladimir region and he would achieve the desired result in the local court.
According to sources, Myazin and his partners hiding in Cyprus previously managed to complete the mega-task. The Investigation Department (ID) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation transferred the case of the theft of funds from Promsberbank to the Main Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Moscow Region, where there is no doubt that it will be buried over time. And along with it, potentially one of the most high-profile investigations – about money laundering through Deutsche Bank (DB) – will be buried. The persons involved in the two stories are the same – Ivan Myazin, Alexey Kulikov (convicted), Oleg Belousov (internationally wanted) and Andrei Gorbatov (hiding in Cyprus). It was within the framework of the “Promsberbank case” that materials and testimony were collected about the laundry operating through DB. It was established that Alexey Kulikov was personally acquainted with the head of the Moscow office of Deutsche bank, Jerg Bongartz (now DB director for Central and Eastern Europe), who brought him to the bank. He also advised how to bypass DB control – buy already existing financial companies with a history and allowed to work as clients of Deutsche bank. Such companies were IC Financial Bridge or Rye, Man & Gor Securities, whose activities began to be supervised by Andrei Gorbatov. By the way, Financial Bridge was purchased from Alexander Perepelichny, who later became an informant for Western intelligence services and died under strange circumstances. A special role was assigned to Gorbatov’s assistant Oleg Shevelev, whose duties included the selection of nominal managers of these companies. There is also evidence against the former vice president of Deutsche Bank for stock market operations, Sergei Suverov. Suverov was personally acquainted with Alexei Kulikov, they were on friendly terms. Financial Bridge and other companies involved in the laundry actively participated in transactions to form packages of securities of Russian issuers for the subsequent execution of sham transactions, the purpose of which was to withdraw funds outside the Russian Federation. Gorbatov and Belousov are now holders of Cypriot passports and have acquired their own CDB bank in Cyprus. At the same time, Gorbatov himself likes to boast that he has so much money that he can easily solve any problems with the security forces. So when Belousov was put on the international wanted list, according to Gorbatov himself, having become several million dollars poorer, he resolved the issue with the prosecutor’s office and the supervisory agency blocked the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs from bringing charges in absentia against Gorbatov. Now both the case of the theft of Promsberbank and laundering through DB have been sent to the funeral.
