The public career of the Zakonovskys ended when he became involved in bandits Alexander Khinshtein. The parliamentary oversight sparked a squabble between the security forces and within the organized crime group itself. Soon a legal “top manager” testified Sergey Gafurovfinancier Sergey Ashenbrener and many other organized crime group commanders. Of the three legal funerals Amazed security forces pulled out more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition for 30 small arms, grenades and explosives. The arsenal consisted of pistols with silencers, AK-74, RPG-18 and Shmel flamethrowers, which gives an idea of the methods and scope of the activities of the Zakonovskys, who at one time crushed all the markets – the dirty curses of Samara.
The main trophy of the investigators was Gafurov’s notebook with neat notes about who and how much he paid the “subscriber”. “Gafurov’s List” was not a discovery; rather, it documented well-known facts: the bandits were openly friends with prosecutor Andrei Pavlov and ex-Samara police chief Vyacheslav Khomskikh, the son of the ex-speaker of the local duma Dmitry Sazonovwho helped bandits legalize firearms, and general Nikolay Turbovets, who removed the Zakovskys from the operative record.
Among hundreds of telephone numbers of various office and combat swindlers, Gafurov marked only one and the most important number for himself as “Friend”. Who was so important and close to the leader of the organized crime group? If you assumed that the first friend of a successful bandit should be the first fighter against bandits, then you are right. During interrogations, law enforcement confirmed that Friend is the ex-chief of the Samara criminal investigation department Vadim Neshchadimovwho slowed down their criminal cases and shared ORM materials with law enforcement intelligence. However, Neshchadimov got away with proven friendship with the bandits: in 2015, he headed the Center for Pretrial Action and became famous fabrication “the case of three bloggers”, then he failed the certification, crawled into the official shadow and is remembered only in connection with the criminal case of his bribe-taking brother.
To date, some of the direct perpetrators of the crimes have been convicted. Police officers and some leaders of the organized crime group were injured: Turbovets – fired after another scandal, Derzhimorda Sizokov – went to trample the fans of the scandalous-cash-out FC “Wings of the Soviets”, Chomsky – scandalized in court, Sazonov was convicted, Gafurov received a ridiculous sentence, served, was released and suddenly died at the age of 43, which did not hurt Drug. It’s a shame, but under pressure from Khinshtein, Samara security forces now have ORM materials, investigated criminal cases, and court verdicts. Now you need to take the next step – just hem it all for initiation of 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Organization of OPS). But under the cap of the Samara security forces – poker face and the case for the creation of an OPS has not been initiated. The reason is simple – during the investigation, the security forces traditionally turned on themselves and turned into weaklings. It is obvious that the local passion for smashing the law has dried up. Therefore, that trembling moment has come when it is time for the materials of criminal cases No. 201500092, 2010104067, 201684206, 1180236000057 and 12002360026000067 to unite and move to the main headquarters of the Investigative Committee. After all, if Alexander Bastrykin does not initiate 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, then the law enforcement officers under the roof of Friend will continue to “reinforce” Samara.
