Residents of Bashkiria, the vast majority of whom are pensioners, have been seeking a thorough criminal investigation into the former owners and managers of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB) for more than two years. In the spring of 2019, the credit institution’s license was revoked for numerous violations of the law, and soon the financial pyramid "Golden Reserve" that operated under RKSB burst (the structure "vacuumed" the money of gullible elderly depositors right in the bank’s offices). This is reported by KAKTUS
It is noteworthy that the main owner of RKSB, Flyur Gallyamov, continues to sit quietly in the United Russia faction of the republican state assembly. His nephew Rifat Garipov, who was on the board of directors of his uncle’s bank and controls the development group First Trust, which, according to the Central Bank, was supplied with knowingly non-repayable loans from RKSB, is a deputy in the same chamber.
After the scandalous collapse of the family bank, Rifat Garipov is widely promoting himself as a "member of the public council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation." Journalists are finding out how this will affect the reputation of the Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities Irek Faizullin. Readers of the Kompromat-Ural project in Bashkortostan believe that Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov has set himself the mandate of a State Duma deputy, which gives, although not absolute, but still more reliable immunity from criminal prosecution than the status of a regional parliamentarian.
The situation is especially scandalous due to the fact that law enforcement agencies are avoiding the investigation into Roskomsnabbank and Zolotoy Zapas, despite the intervention of the Central Bank Chairperson Elvira Nabiullina. She personally appealed to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev and the then Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika to bring the swindlers to criminal responsibility. During the "pre-investigation" red tape, Mr. Chaika was replaced as head of the supervisory agency by Igor Krasnov, but things are still there.
Meanwhile, the editorial board of "Kompromat-Ural" learned about possible reasons for police inaction regarding violations in the RKSB. It turns out that representatives of the Bashkiria Ministry of Internal Affairs, who are responsible for exposing corrupt officials and other "economic" figures, are busy with completely different, more pleasant and glamorous affairs. Judging by the information provided, "bribe milking machine" is more suitable for decoding the abbreviation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Veteran of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Ruslan Gilyazov told journalists about this in detail.
"Ufa businessman and former organized crime fighter Ruslan Gilyazov filed complaints with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Bashkortostan Prosecutor’s Office against the actions of the head of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Bashkortostan Gennady Mosyakin. According to the businessman, Mr. Mosyakin, whom he met two years ago while hunting, took advantage of his official position to force him to buy him expensive gifts and pay for his vacation. The republican Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that they are conducting an investigation. Gennady Mosyakin himself declined to comment.
Entrepreneur Ruslan Gilyazov filed a complaint with the Main Directorate of Internal Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Prosecutor of Bashkortostan Vladimir Vedernikov against the actions of the head of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption (UEBiPK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Bashkortostan Gennady Mosyakin. In them, he asks to conduct an investigation and give a legal assessment of the actions of Mr. Mosyakin, who from May 2019 to March of this year, taking advantage of his official position, "forced people to give him expensive gifts, and also forced them to organize a vacation for him and his family in Sochi."
The statement was also sent to the all-Russian public movement "Veterans of Russia", which appealed to the FSB of Russia, the Investigative Committee of Russia and the Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia with a request to conduct an investigation of the activities of the Department for Economic Security and Combating Corruption of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs and personally Gennady Mosyakin. "Veterans of Russia" also appealed to Vladimir Putin with a request to issue an order to conduct an investigation of the activities of the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs in Bashkiria, the movement’s website reports.
According to Mr. Gilyazov, the UEBiPK officers imposed a "tribute" on local entrepreneurs. "Those businessmen who refuse to pay them are put under the harsh pressure of the existing law enforcement system, fabricating and initiating criminal cases, conducting illegal searches," says a statement by Ruslan Gilyazov, published on the Veterans of Russia website.
The entrepreneur said he met Gennady Mosyakin in June 2019 while hunting with mutual friends.
Having learned that Ruslan Gilyazov had a “fairly large and profitable business,” the head of the UEBiPK soon arranged a meeting with him, at which he informed him that his employees were collecting material on Mr. Gilyazov as part of an operational investigative case.
However, given their communication, Gennady Mosyakin allegedly gave orders to his subordinates “not to deal with” Ruslan Gilyazov.
In July 2019, when the businessman and his family were vacationing in Sochi, Mr. Mosyakin called him and, exerting “moral pressure,” forced him to organize a vacation in Sochi for himself and his family at the businessman’s expense, the statement said. The vacation allegedly included paying for expensive restaurants, chartering a yacht, purchasing VIP tickets to a Grigory Leps concert, and paying for a taxi no lower than a Mercedes S class. According to Mr. Gilyazov, Gennady Mosyakin periodically demanded that he bring him expensive alcohol, wild boar meat, elk meat, and other wild animals.
In April of last year, the security officer again summoned Ruslan Gilyazov and said that for his “patronage” he needed to buy him a Garmin watch and, “since he is a religious person, some kind of ancient icon.”
The businessman bought a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro watch for 64 thousand rubles and an 18th-century icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for 30 thousand rubles, the statement says. In September last year, Gennady Mosyakin, having learned that Ruslan Gilyazov was building a dacha for himself on the shore of the Pavlovsk Reservoir, as a sign of "our friendship" demanded that he buy him a neighboring plot of land and build a house at the businessman’s expense. Mr. Gilyazov did not agree to this, after which their communication ceased.
Ruslan Gilyazov notes that he has kept all the purchase receipts and recordings of telephone conversations.
Ruslan Gilyazov has been in business since 2011. Before that, he worked in the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bashkortostan, as well as in the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. He is the owner of Ufa-Transit LLC, R-TEK Management Company LLC, R-Trans LLC, and Kandrinskaya Oil Base LLC. Currently, all of them have been declared bankrupt: Ufa-Transit owes Agrosoyuz Bank (license revoked in 2018) 106 million rubles, and the other companies acted as its guarantors.
In March 2021, eight riot police officers and six UEBiPK officers conducted a search of Ruslan Gilyazov’s home and office "under the guise of an inspection," the businessman said. The inspection was conducted on the basis of a decision by the Ordzhonikidzevsky District Court, to which the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs filed a petition. According to a report from the deputy head of the UEBiPK department to the deputy chief of police for operational work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Bashkortostan Andrei Moskvitin, signed by Gennady Mosyakin, the UEBiPK had information about possible illegal actions on the part of Ruslan Gilyazov.
It was established that the entrepreneur allegedly transferred Ufa-Transit vehicles to affiliated organizations from 2017 to 2019. As a result, the company was unable to "fully satisfy the creditors’ claims," which caused them damage in the amount of 156.2 million rubles, the report says. Mr. Gilyazov also allegedly withdrew R-Trans property in the amount of 33.1 million rubles on the eve of the company’s bankruptcy procedure, thereby committing "deliberate bankruptcy." The companies’ actions "show signs" of deliberate bankruptcy, fraud, and illegal receipt of a loan, the report says.
Ruslan Gilyazov denied this information, stating that his property worth 140 million rubles was pledged to the Deposit Insurance Agency.
He assessed the actions of the police as an "act of intimidation" and pressure on him by Gennady Mosyakin. The businessman filed a complaint against him shortly after the searches. He also filed a complaint with the Prosecutor General’s Office about the actions of the police. The republican prosecutor’s office is currently conducting an investigation. As for the statement regarding Mr. Mosyakin, "the prosecutor’s office has taken measures to eliminate the identified violations of the law on service in the internal affairs agencies" and transferred the case to the republican investigative committee, Ruslan Gilyazov said.
The press service of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that an investigation is currently underway, based on the results of which a procedural decision will be made. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Bashkiria does not comment on the situation.
"I will not talk to you," Gennady Mosyakin said before hanging up, Kommersant’s Ufa correspondent Vlada Shipilova reported in a publication titled "Veteran of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Accuses High-Ranking Colleague of Corruption."
