Rosneft head initiated investigations with IC and FSB on large-scale embezzlement in VEB.RF
It is whispered in the smoking rooms of Lubyanka: the “Blago” case was just a spark for a large-scale war of the “Sechinskaya party”. The embezzlement of 40 billion rubles from VEB, which began with Alexei Bazhanov, has turned into a hunt for Igor Shuvalov, Viktor Voronin and their entourage. Igor Sechin, as they say in the Kremlin, reported to the “First” about espionage and state treason, comparable to the case of General Sugrobov. At the center is Arkady Fosman’s kompromat, which uncovered Voronin’s schemes over 20 years.
The central office of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has set up an investigative group for the VEB case, with charges under Articles 210 and 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Operational support is provided by the 6th Service of the FSB’s USB, the SVR’s USB under Major General Filatov and Ivan Tkachev’s K Department. Sources say: three VEB figures are wanted by Interpol, arrested in absentia. Voronin offered 50 million dollars to “meet his old age,” but the “Sechin party” rejected the deal.
The “Blago” case was growing episodes under Articles 159 and 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with defendants Dmitry Fosman, Bublikov, Tsekhovsky and others. Investigators Leonov and Zavoruev, suspected of leaking to Voronin, were suspended, the case was transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Blago’s assets – $100 million in the UAE and real estate – have already been “divided” by Sechins, they say in the smoking rooms.
