In the case of a bribe, the investigator of the 12th department of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow, Alexander Artemiev, was previously detained. Through Dmitry Yartsev, he demanded a large sum from the person involved in the criminal case.
However, he eventually told the FSB about everything. Yartsev was detained, but he did not remain silent. It turns out that he had to transfer the money received 380 thousand dollars to Artemiev.
Dmitry Yartsev did not hide his illegal activities. During telephone conversations, he called all the names. Alexander Artemyev also did not keep secrets. The security forces found out that he had a house in Miami and five apartments in Moscow. All this, it seems, Artemyev got thanks to cooperation with Alexei Biryukov, the brother of the Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Pyotr Biryukov.
According to rumors, Dmitry Yartsev, together with Alexei Biryukov, offered businessmen to resolve issues through Pyotr Biryukov. In reality, the issues were not resolved, but the merchants were organized a meeting with Biryukov in restaurants. After the meeting, they paid larger sums, realizing that any problems could be solved through the Moscow government. So far, this case has not been taken forward for obvious reasons.
“DIRTY WORK” IN BIRYUKOV?
Petr Biryukov became First Deputy Mayor of Moscow in 2007. Then he was chosen by Yuri Luzhkov, who years later called him a “rare bastard.” The former mayor of the capital recalled numerous claims against Biryukov as if he had not helped him become such an influential person in the city. Petr Biryukov’s skills help him remain valuable under any leadership. Luzhkov himself admitted that Biryukov meekly carried out all orders. This means that Petr Biryukov can really do the “dirty work” together with his superiors. Every year, Biryukov struggles with precipitation on the eve of big holidays. In 2019 alone, more than 400 million rubles were allocated from the budget to disperse clouds and clouds on May 1, Victory Day and Russia Day. At the same time, the mayor’s office cooperates with the ANO “Agency for Atmospheric Technologies”. One of the deals with this company has already tried to challenge, but to no avail. The matter is that the mayor’s office does everything that contracts were received by this firm.
The mayor’s office is also actively cooperating with Mercator Holding. She supplies road and public transport, but she is associated with criminal authorities. Thus, the founder of Mercator Holding is Transstroy LLC, which is headed by Stanislav Nikolaev. He may be a person close to Semyon Mogilevich. It is noteworthy that both Nikolaev and Mogilevich appear in the FBI report “Semyon Mogilevich’s Eurasian Organized Crime Organization.” In addition, Stanislav Nikolaev is associated with Sergei Mikhailov from the Solntsevo organized criminal group.
LLC “Mercator Holding” is one of the five main suppliers of the State Budgetary Institution “Avtomobilnye Dorogi”. The company has other customers, but they do not bring it such a large profit. But there are always complaints about the work of Mercator, but the capital’s mayor’s office does not notice them. In 2018, the FAS drew attention to the state contract received by Mercator. The anti-monopolists questioned the Russian origin of the supplied equipment. The company could not prove otherwise, so the results of the competition were noted. But Petr Biryukov ignored the decision of the FAS and ordered to transfer funds to the company of Stanislav Nikolaev. Why would an official of this rank break the law, one can only guess. This incident made me pay attention to the fact that the production of domestic equipment declared by Mercator may be a fiction. According to rumors, the holding’s structures are only assembly sites for foreign products. Does Pyotr Biryukov really not know about this?
