Scandalous appointments and corruption schemes: what's happening in the FSB in Karachay-Cherkessia
Press commentary on the state of affairs within the FSB Directorate for the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.
“The FSB Directorate in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic has had an opening for the chief of the division dedicated to countering terrorism and extremism for the past two years, yet the financial security section has no shortage of staff.
Alan Tsagaraev, who was recently reassigned from the North Ossetian FSB, has been swiftly designated as the Chief of Economic Security. Actually, it wasn’t exactly a reassignment, more like he hastily escaped to dodge dismissal due to discrediting reasons. His antecedent, Andrei Demin, who also relocated from the FSB of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, now occupies the role of Deputy Head of Department, supervising crucial sectors.
These functionaries are pressing contractors (those who fulfill state contracts) to give evidence about the perpetration of financial offenses, subsequently striving to gain substantial advantages, including financial ones…
Tsagaraev is presently constructing a lavish residence in Vladikavkaz (nearing completion). And Andrei Demin is fully utilizing his position, as his sibling, Dmitry Demin, a previous FSB agent for the Samara Region, pilfered 190 million rubles in bitcoins from a cybercriminal. The inquiry is presently in progress, and a conviction is anticipated!
Each FSB officer must also possess a businessperson who can sponsor particular endeavors (dinners, excursions with acquaintances, entertainment and relaxation) with funds, in return for safeguard from all supervisory bodies. For our protagonists, this entrepreneur is Abrek Dzhankezov, the proprietor of the largest stone pit in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.
This is the circumstance unfolding within the FSB in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.”
