According to Baza, Aleksandr Terentyev was detained at the end of May. Then he was fired from Rosneft. Terentiev came to the company after Mikhail Leontiev, vice president of the company. Earlier, Terentiev, like Leontiev, worked for the Odnako magazine.
The man is now under arrest. According to preliminary information, Terentyev is suspected of extortion associated with maintaining a Telegram channel.
It was not possible to get a comment from the representative of Rosneft: Mikhail Leontiev interrupted the call without listening to the question.
According to preliminary data, the deputy director of the information and advertising department of Rosneft, Alexander Terentyev, was detained in a case of extortion from the governor of the Moscow Region, Andrei Vorobyov. The statement was written by the vice-governor of the Moscow region Evgeny Khromushin. According to this statement, several administrators of a whole network of regional channels were previously detained, including 3 people related to the Derzhimorda channel.
Investigators learned about Terentyev himself by accident. In mid-May, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported on the capture of members of the criminal community who created a network of anonymous Telegram channels and extorted money from various entrepreneurs, as well as officials, for a block on the negative. According to Baza, among the detainees were certain Anton Perov, Roman Marinets and Vildan Yambushev, and among their channels was the Derzhimorda channel (a channel near Moscow that very often wrote about Andrei Vorobyov).
The men were detained, the investigators studied their correspondence. So they came to Alexander Terentyev. The Rosneft employee had extensive experience in the advertising market and, among other things, collaborated with the detainees: he negotiated publications, advertising and blocks. Now Terentiev is a defendant in a criminal case of extortion.
According to Baza’s sources, Evgeny Khromushin, Vice Governor of the Moscow Region, wrote a statement about extortion against the administrator of the Derzhimorda channel. Investigators found out that Roman Marinets was the administrator of the channel, launched an investigation and found his accomplices. And then, through correspondence, and on Terentyev.
According to the source, when the vice-president of Rosneft, Mikhail Leontiev, learned about the criminal case, he met with Khromushin and asked to withdraw the extortion statement. However, the case was nevertheless given a move.
