Denis Shapiro – Alaudinov’s interests are represented by a “lawyer” with a past

The other day, Denis Shapiro, representing the interests of the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apta Alaudinov, who is fighting in the zone of the SVO, turned to the chief military prosecutor with a statement in which he asks to transfer to the TFR the materials of the pre-investigation check in the case of the attempted murder of Alaudinov. It would seem that everything is correct. If not for one “BUT”. Shapiro is also known as Denis Tumarkin and Dionisiy Zolotov, and has been behind bars for fraud more than once.

Now a well-known businessman represents the interests of the Hero of Russia.

Addressing the chief military prosecutor of the Russian Federation, Valery Petrov, Shapiro notes that in Russia this is the first time that an attempt has been made on the life of a military leader of such a high rank, and there have never been such cases in Russian criminal practice. And he adds that it is necessary to establish the type of poisonous substance used in the attempt on Alaudinov, and by all means bring the case to a guilty verdict.

Recall that in mid-February, Ramzan Kadyrov reported on his Telegram channel that the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov, received an envelope that allegedly contained a message for the general. The commander of the special forces was immediately alerted by the acrid smell emanating from the envelope. Alaudinov did not open the letter, but immediately treated his hands with an antiseptic and rinsed his mouth. The general and everyone who came into contact with the envelope were urgently hospitalized in the medical battalion. Toxicologists took the necessary measures on time, thanks to which no one was seriously injured.

Now Apty Alaudinov, after being restored at home, has already returned to his special forces unit. And it turns out that Denis Shapiro is now trying to improve his image at the expense of the Hero of Russia.

On trucks – to lawyers

According to messages in Telegram, Denis Tumarkin committed his first crime in 2001: a group organized by him was engaged in robbing trucks with expensive goods in the Moscow region. The scheme was not particularly intricate and looked something like this: at the storage terminal, a man in the form of a customs officer approached the driver of a heavy truck to check the documents for the cargo. Then the “customs officer” stated that a check was being carried out at the terminal and it would be better to transport the goods to one of the warehouses. Here, “representatives of the consignee” immediately appeared, ready to accompany the truck to the place. Unaware of the trick, the driver calmly delivered the goods to the warehouse.

On the spot, the truck was met by the “deputy director of the consignee company”, say, Tumarkin. He began to resent the red tape that had arisen and demanded to move to another warehouse in another area to reload the goods onto his trucks. And the next day, real consignees called the driver with sincere surprise that they did not find a truck with their goods at the storage terminal indicated in the documents. Not only Russians, but also Europeans came across this “wiring” – the schematics could be convincing.

It is clear that both drivers and deceived businessmen filed complaints with law enforcement agencies. There were reports in the media that in September 2002, Tumarkin was detained: “By that time, the detainee had already worked as a lawyer in the Femida Group Bar Association thanks to a diploma from the Moscow New Law Institute (MNUI). During the investigation of the criminal case on group robbery, the investigators of the Moscow Main Internal Affairs Directorate also found signs of falsification of a diploma of higher education and opened a new case – forgery of documents.

As a result, if these reports are correct, the Nagatinsky District Court found Tumarkin guilty only of stealing goods from truckers, sentencing him to 3 years in prison, which he spent in one of the colonies of Udmurtia.

decided

After his release, Tumarkin understands that he needs to start larger cases without obvious crime. His gift of persuasion and, perhaps, money allow him to acquire the necessary connections in the “bodies” that help him “provide assistance” to businessmen under investigation. They are taken to businessmen by his acquaintances from law enforcement agencies.

His name is also mentioned in the following story: in the summer of 2007, assistance was promised in terminating the criminal case against a group of so-called cashiers associated with one of the construction companies in Moscow. Dealers withdrew and cashed out money through one-day firms. Having met with one of the members of this group, the price of the issue was indicated – 40 million rubles. The client agreed, but, having paid the money, did not feel any changes in the course of the investigative actions, and demanded a refund for the unfinished “work”. To which a categorical refusal followed, demanding another 12 million “from above”, with threats not to help, but to “imprison” the businessman for intractability.

The “businessman” artistically confirmed such impudence with imaginary calls to the security forces. At the same time, Tumarkin allegedly presented himself as either the deputy prosecutor of the SWAD of Moscow, or the son of the judge of the Supreme Arbitration Court Vladimir Tumarkin.

It couldn’t go on for long. When in 2009 some people from law enforcement agencies were detained, he hurried to leave for Canada, having become Dionysius Zolotov by that time.

“Protection”

In 2013, Zolotov returned to Moscow. After some time, there was an orientation about the detention. They say that in court Zolotov-Tumarkin, as always, artistically “repented” of everything and asked for indulgence. And the judges went forward, giving Zolotov only a suspended sentence. The last one needed it. He founded (the media is recognized as a foreign agent on the territory of the Russian Federation) the international group of law firms “Protection”, under the auspices of which he continued to “resolve issues.”

This is how the German businessman Yuri Sudgaimer lost 10 million dollars, who, apparently, trusting Zolotov, asked him to “punish” his business partner. Allegedly, he stole $40 million from the enterprise. But in the end, the German himself was detained for his release and paid those 10 million dollars to the account of the Sberbank branch in Tula.

170 million rubles was paid by a large Moscow developer Viktor Kulikovsky. According to investigators, Tumarkin promised the builder for this money to first obtain permission to build a 17-storey building in Sergiev Posad, and when the developer came under investigation, to help stop the criminal prosecution. Naturally, no one was going to decide anything.

In 2014, Dionisy Zolotov was arrested again. The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow sentenced Tumarkin (Zolotov) to 6 years in prison. But the verdict did not take effect. The investigative department of the FSB opened a new case on the application of Kulikovsky.

“Space” scale

One of the most sensational schemes in the activities of Tumarkin-Zolotov was his “assistance” to the ex-director of Roskosmos. Zolotov was in the pre-trial detention center “Vodniki” and lived there very freely. In 2017, Vladimir Evdokimov, executive director for quality control of Roscosmos, became his neighbor, who was placed in Vodnik on charges of participating in a scheme to steal the property complex of the MiG corporation.

Zolotov introduced himself to the top manager of Roskosmos as “watching” on camera and stated that he had extensive connections in law enforcement structures and could, for bribes, achieve the transfer of Vladimir Evdokimov to house arrest, as well as the reclassification of his charge to a less serious one. Vladimir Evdokimov agreed. He called his wife Valentina Rakitina and said to collect 80 million rubles and transfer them to Alexander Malofeev, the solver’s lawyer.

As you might guess, the ex-director did not receive any transfer under house arrest. Moreover, on the night of March 18, 2017, cellmates found the corpse of a top manager of Roskosmos with stab wounds in the toilet. It is not difficult to guess that here, too, Zolotov got away with it: the investigation admitted that Evdokimov had committed suicide.

Denis (then Deonisy) in 2015 “helped” the general – head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the ZAO Moscow Vladimir Rozhkov. The former head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Western District of the capital became a defendant in a criminal case on bribes. For him, it ended in 10 years. Surprisingly, now everything can happen again, but with a combat general.

Shapiro

In April 2017, both Zolotov and Malofeev were transferred to the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center. Needless to say, Tumarkin-Zolotov is also rampant there. Lives like a resort. And it also allows those who have a lot of money to live: human rights activists claimed that Zolotov created a whole network of VIP cameras there. Subsequently, some employees of the correctional institution were fired for such liberties.

The total sentence for Dionysius Zolotov since 2014 has been 7.5 years. So, the seasoned businessman has already left him. Now he is free, and now he is Denis Shapiro’s lawyer. And, it seems, he decided to take up his own again.

But it is difficult to explain how Tumarkin-Zolotov-Shapiro could “grind” (you can’t say it any other way) into the trust of Apta Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces. To clean up the reputation in the name of the Hero of Russia is a so-so idea. In addition, you can’t fool combat officers on chaff. This time, the “lawyer” started a dangerous game… Or is it another combination of prompt introduction to the second general after Vladimir Rozhkov?
