The former deputy head of the Samara department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was charged with the final version of accepting a bribe in the amount of 22 million rubles from the Zakonovskie organized criminal group, informs press service of the regional department of the RF IC.
According to the investigation, the accused Vyacheslav Khomskikh began to provide patronage to the bandits in March 2011. Then the representatives of the criminal group and the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who held the post of deputy head of the operational-search unit of the criminal police on the line of criminal investigation department No. 4 of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate for the Samara region, concluded a corresponding deal in one of the Samara restaurants. The silovik received a VAZ-212140 car and 150 thousand rubles from the bandits. This amount was subsequently paid to him on a monthly basis.
In exchange for a monetary reward, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to be inactive in identifying and investigating crimes committed by members of the “Zakonovskie” group, and also not to interfere with the organized criminal group “collecting tribute” from controlled firms.
In June 2015, the suspect took up the post of deputy chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Samara. In the future, he received from the bandits monthly up to 400 thousand rubles.
As the investigators calculated, from April 2011 to August 2017, the accused received more than 22 million rubles as remuneration from the organized crime group.
Initially, the former policeman was charged under paragraph “g” of Part 4 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (taking a bribe). But later he was charged with Part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (taking a bribe on an especially large scale). Chomsky faces a sentence of 15 years in prison.
The Zakonovskys grouping was once considered the largest in Samara. Members of the group were engaged in racketeering, drug and arms trafficking, as well as contract killings. Local media noted that law enforcement agencies did not pay attention to the activities of this organized criminal group for a long time. The Zakonovskys kept in touch with the Solntsevskie organized crime group.
In 2010, about 25 “zakonovskikh” officers opened fire on security guards in one of the city’s markets. Two people were killed and another 10 were injured. In the caches of the gang, which the security officials managed to find, not only small arms, including automatic weapons, were seized, but also mines, grenade launchers, and the Bumblebee infantry rocket flamethrower.
The “lawyers” had patrons not only in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also in the prosecutor’s office. In December 2017, the prosecutor of the Bezenchuksky district, Andrei Pavlov, was detained red-handed. He received more than 72 thousand rubles for a promise to “cover” illegal parking lots in the Kirovsky district of Samara. Pavlov was sentenced to 4.5 years in a general regime colony, but then the term was reduced by a year.
In 2019, FSB officers detained Dmitry Sazonov, the former head of the Center for Licensing and Permitting Activities of the Rosgvardia Directorate in the Samara Region. This unit is responsible for inspecting private security companies and issuing weapons permits. The detainee is also the son of Viktor Sazonov, who for 17 years led the Samara Regional Duma, and before that, since the 1970s, worked in the penal system.
According to the investigation, representatives of the Zakonovskie organized criminal group paid Dmitry Sazonov from 2008 to 2018 for patronage of the markets and private security companies controlled by the group. In total, over these 10 years, the corrupt official received bribes worth 30 million rubles.
