The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info learned the details of the criminal case against the former high-ranking officer of the FSB Directorate M Igor Yakovlev, who was arrested in February in a criminal case of fraud on an especially large scale (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The charges were based on the arbitration process on the bankruptcy of KRONTAKONSTRAKSHEN LLC, one of the plaintiffs in which was Millennium Property Management LLC (also subsequently declared bankrupt), owned by businessman Eduard Shifrin. Yakovlev was involved in this case as a third party (at that time he had resigned from the authorities and had the status of an individual entrepreneur). The former security officer does not admit his guilt, claiming that there was red tape during the preliminary investigation. Rucriminal.info previously reported on the connection between Shifrin and Yakovlev. Back in 2017, the former CEO of Millennium Property Management LLC, Alexander Petrov, filed a complaint with the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation regarding Shifrin's corruption-related crimes, as well as tax and financial crimes. He attached to the complaint a copy of the testimony of the former head of Shifrin's security service, Vasily Jordan, to the law firm Monastyrsky, Zyuba and Partners, in which he detailed his involvement in the transfer of bribes to the former head of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs, the former head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District, and then a member of the board of directors of the VIS Group, General Sergei Derevyanko. The latter's partner was Yakovlev, who was part of his inner circle.
As revenge, Shifrin and Derevyanko organized the initiation of a criminal case against Petrov through Derevyanko's old acquaintance, N. I. Agafyeva, who was Derevyanko's subordinate when he received bribes from Shifrin on a regular basis. Agafyeva, being the head of the Main Investigative Directorate for Moscow, knowing full well of Petrov's innocence, instructed her subordinate, Yakovlev, to organize and fabricate the materials of the criminal cases in such a way that they would not include facts of Shifrin's tax and financial crimes. On Yakovlev's instructions, investigator Milyutin and his supervisor Grishin falsified the materials of the criminal case in such a way that all facts of illegal VAT refunds by Shifrin's companies would be disavowed and removed from the materials of the criminal case.
In addition to Yakovlev being sent into custody, the court also seized the property of the arrested officer. Literally in 2015, Yakovlev was still working in the FSB, and after his dismissal in 2016, it turned out that he was a co-owner of a variety of businesses. It also turned out that the property of the officer who was only yesterday "pulls" 5-7 million dollars. When asked how this became possible, he smiled and answered "for a small share." Many of these businesses were joint with his friend, General Sergei Derevyanko - once one of the most corrupt security officials. Yakovlev and Derevyanko also "protected" the oligarch Eduard Shifrin (wanted). When the latter left the Russian Federation, part of his business was transferred to Yakovlev, in particular CHOM Midland SB. In the office of the private security company there is also a huge office for Sergei Derevyanko - a long-time hero of our editorial staff.
