The Basmanny Court of Moscow arrested the former deputy head of the 4th Internal Security Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Sergei Bespalov. He is accused of major fraud against a shadow banker, ex-accountant of the Tambov organized crime group Ilya Kligman.
As the Cheka-OGPU learned, Sergei Bespalov worked for a long time in the 2nd CSS Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation, and then became deputy head of the 4th Service. His immediate superior was Oleg Gubaidulin, who is now seconded to the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation and holds the post of deputy head of the Federal Customs Service. Together they led all the high-profile operations of the Russian FSB against governors.
The case in which Bespalov was arrested was initiated in May 2022 by the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow. At the same time, the former president of the Lynx Holding Company of the SOBR of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Bashir Kushtov, and the general director of the Afrocom international foundation, vice-president of the Rospolitika foundation, Igor Yurasov, were arrested. They were accused of fraud against one of the largest shadow bankers, ex-accountant of the Tambov group Ilya Kligman, who is on the international wanted list. Ilya Kligman’s confidant Sergei Gerasimenko filed a statement that in the fall of 2019 a group of fixers for $1 million (the amount in the case file indicates the amount of 70 million rubles) offered him to remove Ilya Kligman from the criminal case (which was being processed by the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow ) about theft and creation of a criminal security company. We are talking about an investigation into the theft of 7 billion rubles. from Agrosoyuz Bank, whose shadow owner is Kligman.
In December 2019, a tranche of $500 thousand was transferred to the fixers. However, in April 2021, Kligman was charged in absentia and put on the wanted list.
As a result, Gerasimenko and Kligman filed a statement with the FSB of the Russian Federation.
According to the Cheka-OGPU, soon after his arrest, Yurasov began to actively cooperate with law enforcement officers and testified that a former employee of the FSB Directorate for Moscow and the Moscow Region, Evgeny Sviridov, who was recently considered the shadow master of the Lipetsk and Tambov regions, was involved in the scam. He was also arrested. Sviridov admitted guilt and confessed in the presence of a lawyer.
In June 2022, materials regarding Bespalov were separated from the general case into separate proceedings. After this case, the Central Office of the Investigative Committee took over the case.
