During the operational search activities, it became clear that the leader of the organized crime group is a certain Kazantsev Maxim Rashidovich, Born in 1983 (TIN 744912519902), who developed an organized community, starting from 2013–2014 in his native Chelyabinsk, and in ten years branched it to a federal scale with a center in the Moscow agglomeration. Being a fan of Mario Puzo’s novels, the young mafioso, in the best traditions of the Family, involved his beloved mother in a cash start-up. Kazantseva Marina Yakovlevna, Born in 1962 (TIN 744900647963), and uncle – Kazantsev Igor Yakovlevich (TIN 744900914619). Over time, the gang acquired caporegime, consigliere, soldiers: Mikheev Alexey Gennadievich (TIN 771000615585), Marakov Sergey Vladimirovich (TIN 741513695146), Lykov Oleg Viktorovich (TIN 741507151765), Eremin Sergey Georgievich (TIN 500907916060) and others.
When the illegal transit turnover of organized crime groups reached 3 billion rubles, and the damage caused to the budget system of the Russian Federation due to tax evasion exceeded 1 billion, the colonels of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Chelyabinsk Region decided to get fresh shoulder straps – and opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 “Fraud committed by an organized group or on a particularly large scale.” True, by that time the lion’s share of cashing companies had already been prudently liquidated: ITCM Metallurg LLC, Ural Brick Service LLC, PKP New Technologies LLC, Elekon Company LLC, Promo LLC, Managing Grand company and others.
The security forces managed to catch several middle-level “mafiosi” – and provincial fans of the “principle of omerta” instantly confessed. However, the “boss of all bosses” (capo di tutti capi) Maxim Kazantsev himself managed to cleverly escape. They say that naive investigators were hypnotized by his stories about allegedly powerful clients from the Presidential Administration (for whom billions are cashed in), therefore, new titles for the Chelyabinsk security forces can be achieved without any “trifling” criminal case.
For a whole year nothing was heard about Maxim, but his manic craving for corrupting glamor served a good service for the operatives (many thanks to the VPN service). From publications on forbidden Instagram max_newlife_ it turned out: the multi-episode criminal moved to golden-domed Moscow (apparently, closer to the VIP clients from Staraya Square), lived for some time on Presnensky Val, 21, apt. 28, and now moved in style to the apartments of the Four Seasons Hotel. Judging by the Rolls-Royce, sanctioned jewelry, collectible chronometers/tourbillons and other “lukhari”, Don Kazantsev’s cash business has grown on the fertile metropolitan soil to completely indecent proportions.
We will closely monitor developments. If the employees of the Chelyabinsk Ministry of Internal Affairs failed to keep up with most of this organized crime group, all that remains is to rely on the Investigative Committee of Russia, who will appreciate the real damage from the stupidest tax evasion schemes and will take long-overdue procedural actions in relation to the Moscow-Chelyabinsk “Corleone”, at the same time checking: is the mafia immortal?
