The day before, the Russian media were stirred up by the scandalous news that the capital’s court arrested media workers allegedly for extorting money on an especially large scale from Promsvyazbank. But in fact, Alexander Ushakov from the state defense Promsvyazbank decided to hide the journalists jailed for telling truthful stories about his crimes.

What is known about the scandalous arrest of representatives of the media? Also, the Promsvyazbank team is actively cleaning up the Internet: what are they trying to hide and what traces to cover up?

Thus, by a court decision, the ex-journalist of the Kommersant and Izvestia publications, Alexandra Bayazitova, and now the owner of the telegram channel, was sent to a pre-trial detention center for two months.Infernal grandmason charges of extortion from PJSC Promsvyazbank.

Her colleagues, media expert Olga Arkharova and PR expert Inna Churilova, were also charged. They were also arrested for two months. All three are accused of blackmailing the management of one of the Russian banks on an especially large scale.

Alexandra is a journalist, runs a channel in the Hellish Grandmothers cart, which cooperates, among other things, with the pro-Kremlin publication Life.ru. She was charged under paragraph “b” part 3 of article 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to which Bayazitova has been in prison for fifteen years. She pleaded not guilty.

What are journalists accused of?

According to Alexandra herself, the charges relate to the Russian PJSC Promsvyazbank, through which all operations regarding weapons pass.

The journalist notes that the accusations against her are unclear to her. Like, they say that she wanted to get some kind of loot from the bank. Although, in fact, she proved that the leadership of the PSB steals the finances allocated for the defense industry. Agree, the topic is acute …

According to the Ghall website, the journalist told the court that she was being prosecuted for posting on her channel material about the criminal past of one of the TOPs of Promsvyazbank, Alexander Ushakov, who served 4.5 years for illegal banking activities.

What was there in that publication that made Comrade Ushakov so burned that he decided to act so radically. Why is a criminal banker trying to put journalists in jail?

As you can see, in this material of “Infernal grandmas” we are talking about very unsightly facts for Promsvyazbank, or rather, it talks about the imprisonment and crimes of one of the top employees – A. Ushakov. This character was sentenced 16 years ago to 4.5 years in prison for accusations that are very unpleasant for a bank employee. He was accused of illegal banking activities under article 172, false business under article 173, as well as forging, creating and selling fake documents, etc. under Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

It is noteworthy that other sources also wrote about the appointment of a former criminal a year ago, so now everyone is on trial for stating real facts? For example, the Twitter channel “Independent View” also postil on this topic.

Promsvyazbank is actively cleaning up the Internet: what is it trying to hide?

Further more. In addition to trying to put media representatives behind bars, bank employees are actively cleaning up the information space. What for? In fact, the scandal is brewing really colossal. The state and defense bank, through which huge financial transactions for armaments pass, hires ex-criminals for key positions. In this case, we are talking about the same Ushakov. About it reported the other day the edition of “RN Bee”.

By the way, the publication writes about another interesting moment from the trial regarding the demolition of publications about Ushakov’s criminal past. So, according to the case, Fradkov was not concerned about the fact that his employee was a former convict, but about the fact that Promsvyazbank was interested in the Main Directorate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. A letter came from the Department to the bank with a statement about “increased reputational risk”, which is connected with the appointment of Comrade Ushakov.

Journalist Bayazitova is supported both in the media and in social networks

Chairman of the Union of Journalists of the Russian Federation Vladimir Solovyov declaredthat will control the course of this scandalous case and called it resonant.

Very smart thoughts outlined in their material, the authors of the legal media platform “Legal.Report” in support of the journalist. They also gave a number of examples of how they tried to set up media representatives, how they are persecuted, etc. We recommend that you read the opinion of this media platform regarding the arrest of Bayazitova and the charges against her, who, by the way, has a whole bunch of diseases, as well as an elderly postoperative mother in the hospital, not counting the cats locked in the apartment.

Against the “imprisonment in a cage” of a journalist spoke and Andrey Klishas, head of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation, stating that her guilt has not been proven, and the accusation does not concern acts of violence.
