The Dzerzhinsky District Court issued a verdict against a man who promised the family of the former general director of Metrostroy to bribe the FSB for 300 million rubles.
Gunduz Karimov was accused of attempted fraud on an especially large scale. He, according to the joint press service of the courts on October 11, for two months – from December 2019 to January 2020 – talked on the phone, in instant messengers and met personally with the wife of the prisoner Nikolai Alexandrov.
He promised her to influence the FSB and achieve a change in the preventive measure to house arrest, non-involvement in other episodes of criminal activity and the conclusion of a pre-trial cooperation agreement. And for all this he asked for 300 million rubles.
However, he got burned by the fact that the court in January 2020 released Alexandrov for home isolation, and his wife told the FSB officers about the proposal she received.
About how Karimov was detained, Fontanka wrote in detail.
The court sent the man to a penal colony for 3 years and 8 months.
Kommersant.Ru, 10/12/2022, “300 million was enough for the verdict”: According to the case file (available to Kommersant), Gunduz Kerimov convinced Olga Alexandrova that he had connections among the Chekists for a month: he called, wrote and met with her twice. It was possible to convince Mrs. Alexandrov, she agreed to find and give him the money. In fact, Kerimov could not influence the investigation in any way. The plan failed, because before the transfer of money, Nikolai Alexandrov was released under house arrest. This happened on January 21, 2020. Mrs. Aleksandrova, doubting the words of a friend, turned to the FSB.
After that, Gunduz Kerimov himself was under arrest in the case of attempted fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In September 2020, the Zelenogorsk District Court sent him to a pre-trial detention center. According to the joint press service of the courts of St. Petersburg, he asked for “anything but arrest” and did not admit guilt. On the merits, the case was considered by the Dzerzhinsky District Court, which decided that an attempt to lure 300 million rubles. proven. By a court decision, Kerimov was sentenced to three years and eight months in a strict regime colony. — Inset K.ru

The FSB sided with Nikolai Aleksandrov, who was arrested for the Metrostroy. A foreigner was detained, who was going to drown the case at a high price. Fontanka recalled both the detainee and his history of torture.
A lot of well-dressed people strained on the morning of September 22 behind the curtains of the apartments in the Kristall complex, in Repino, on the coast. There came men with unpleasant abbreviations on their backs. After a search in one of the apartments, they took 43-year-old Azerbaijani citizen Karimov to the Investigative Committee of St. Petersburg.
His gray Rolls-Royce seemed to have been left in the parking lot. Unless, of course, one of the operatives did not flinch, did not want to take advantage of the opportunity to take a little ride behind the hood with a figurine of the “Spirit of Ecstasy”. And that’s just a respectable saying.
The day before, a criminal case was initiated under the standard article – attempted fraud, and it is connected with the voluminous and painful topic of the city – the situation in Metrostroywhich is inseparable from criminal cases in relation to the co-owner of the still monopolist Nikolai Alexandrov. Today he is bored under house arrest in his also expensive house on Pesochnaya Embankment. Soon he will go for a walk, and his expression will not be so lean.
The appearance on the stage of Mr. Kerimov happened the next day after the first arrest of Mr. Alexandrov.
According to the Fontanka journalist, then, in December 2019, Alexandrov’s wife Olga received a call and was offered a magical way out of the situation. The first meeting took place, of course, in a decent restaurant – Italy near the Front Quarter.
Gunduz, and that is the name of Kerimov, offered to stop the outrages with searches and inappropriate claims. He did not expect a natural question, they say, where did he get such adult competencies. He reminded himself: once he was also arrested by the same investigation of the FSB, and nothing happened – he got out, moreover, from the same inner prison of the FSB on Shpalernaya, where Kolya Aleksandrov was now put. He spoke convincingly. The initiator estimated the troubles smartly – at 300 million rubles. (“Fontanka” does not shrink, does not recalculate at the rate of the Central Bank.) They say, not for themselves – for people.
In the place of Olga Alexandrova, the author would have suspected: a simple combination – some are taken prisoner, others exchange the hostage for money. Further negotiations were under the control of the FSB. What do you want? – Olga has five children, and her husband is in the cell. She began to fight for the future, the office – to expel merchants from Liteiny, 4.
The security forces, like journalists, have two algorithms: either hit on the fly, or dive into a monotonous study. We chose the second option. “Fontanka” guesses why slowly. Our publication was based on Kerimov.
We recall the epic with the legendary Leningrad swindler Salikov. Short content: he quarreled with his wife Zoya, shared elite real estate with her, but Zoya got along with Gunduz, and Gunduz, apparently, was counting on a more magnificent dowry. A conflict arose between Salikov and Kerimov, an FSB operative came to search Salikov Kirsanov and voluntarily or involuntarily mutilated Salikov. Surely you remember – fiercely sticking the barrel of a gun into his anus. The premiere was noisy, as a result, the FSB officer Kirsanov was actually sentenced to four years in prison for torture.
In the meantime, if in the visible space the new leadership of Metrostroy was shaking, and Nikolai Alexandrov was bombarded with new episodes, then at the depths of the FSB, Kerimov was surrounded. It is possible that they approached their colleagues, but in the materials of the case in question, this is not noticeable on September 22. But this is Fontanka – imperceptibly.
If Kerimov was so trumply looked into the Kristall complex, where, by the way, he lives in the apartment of Zoya Kozhevnikova, the former wife of the same crippled Salikov, then the detainee will not be quickly returned to his place. The Investigative Committee will go to arrest. And, as the journalist suggested at the beginning, the prospect is getting more complicated. Kerimov is experienced, he knows the form of the report.
The irony of these adventures is that Karimov’s arrest may happen tomorrow – September 23, and on Wednesday, the same September 23, Salikov leaves New Crosses in connection with sentencewhich we talked about the day before reported. Where they collide and wave their hands to each other, there is dramaturgy. However, intermission, or round, as they say now.
Other details on Kerimov:
Kerimov looked into the Russian Federation around 2002. He worked in an adult position in the Moscow company Spektr Expo, the president of the Crocus Group Araz Agalarova. But after checking the financial statements and due to an accident in Baku, where Karimov knocked down a man in a Rolls-Royce of the Agalarov family, he moved to St. Petersburg. He was the founder of the Romb food company with an office on Nevsky Prospekt. In 2016, the company won the competition of the St. Petersburg Tourism Development Committee for the participation of officials in the Arabian Travel Market exhibition. For 1.4 million rubles, the contractor rented a dozen square meters for several days. It is also true that at the presentation there was water in the cooler, and the capsules for the coffee machine did not dry out. The participation of Smolny in this event was included in the annual report on the work on the tourist attractiveness of St. Petersburg. Around 2017, he was arrested by the FSB investigation for cashing out, received a suspended sentence. More recently moved to Mercedes S63 AMG and BMW X6 with diplomatic numbers. Now, as we reported, on the Rolls-Royce Ghost. If you score on the Internet “Beware of scammers. Karimov Gunduz”, then you can get some impression from outside observers.
