[01:00.000 --> 01:16.000]  Please tell me, are you happy with the way the trial is going?
[01:16.000 --> 01:17.000]  What do you think?
[01:17.000 --> 01:18.000]  We are watching.
[01:18.000 --> 01:19.000]  No comments.
[01:19.000 --> 01:20.000]  Do you know Petrov?
[01:20.000 --> 01:21.000]  No comments.
[01:21.000 --> 01:28.000]  The first thing that happened was that in Spain we call Russian mafiosi members of the mafia
[01:28.000 --> 01:35.000]  who act in Russia and who have spread throughout Europe.
[01:35.000 --> 01:43.000]  In Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland.
[01:43.000 --> 01:45.000]  I hope I haven't forgotten anyone.
[01:45.000 --> 01:48.000]  Ah, also Great Britain.
[01:48.000 --> 02:03.000]  Especially there.
[02:03.000 --> 02:09.000]  In August 1996, Vladimir Putin moved to work in Moscow.
[02:09.000 --> 02:14.000]  The first members of his future team, which are now simply called the St. Petersburg team,
[02:14.000 --> 02:18.000]  have been in power here for 20 years.
[02:18.000 --> 02:20.000]  Both business and even culture.
[02:20.000 --> 02:23.000]  The word St. Petersburg itself has a double meaning.
[02:23.000 --> 02:30.000]  Organized and not the most legal communities in the Russian language are called the St. Petersburg.
[02:30.000 --> 02:33.000]  Kurgan, Tambov, Centrovy.
[02:33.000 --> 02:55.000]  How did these 20 years pass for them?
[02:55.000 --> 03:01.000]  The apartment on Tavricheskaya Street in St. Petersburg once belonged to the poet Vyacheslav Ivanov.
[03:01.000 --> 03:07.000]  For the first time, the block read his unknown there, and the permanent guests were Gumilyov and Bryusov.
[03:07.000 --> 03:11.000]  Now these apartments are owned by the families of the St. Petersburg authorities of the 90s,
[03:11.000 --> 03:15.000]  Vladimir Barsukov-Kumarin and Gennady Petrov.
[03:15.000 --> 03:17.000]  And Gennady is still alive?
[03:17.000 --> 03:18.000]  Yes.
[03:18.000 --> 03:20.000]  And he comes here whenever he wants.
[03:20.000 --> 03:21.000]  He was in the dark.
[03:21.000 --> 03:23.000]  He didn't reach us.
[03:23.000 --> 03:40.000]  In Spain, the most violent process of the Russian mafia abroad was completed.
[03:40.000 --> 03:46.000]  The sentence is worth waiting for in the summer, but even now it is clear that the Spanish justice did not succeed.
[03:46.000 --> 03:50.000]  Of the 28 arrested, only 18 were caught on the trial bench.
[03:50.000 --> 03:56.000]  The rest, including all the leaders, hid in Russia, where they were released by the Spanish court itself.
[03:56.000 --> 04:00.000]  The leaders of the group are considered by the Spanish to have escaped Gennady Petrov.
[04:00.000 --> 04:02.000]  Gennady Petrov, 71 years old.
[04:02.000 --> 04:06.000]  Born in Leningrad, he was part of the Malyshev gang.
[04:06.000 --> 04:10.000]  In the 90s, he was arrested on suspicion of banditry, but in the end he was acquitted.
[04:10.000 --> 04:20.000]  They felt so impunity, the Cheney mafia and their leader.
[04:20.000 --> 04:22.000]  They acted not only in the territory of Spain, but also traveled all over Europe.
[04:22.000 --> 04:25.000]  Then they wanted political influence.
[04:25.000 --> 04:29.000]  To come to power in Russia and here, in Spain, in a deceptive way.
[04:29.000 --> 04:33.000]  In Spain, they talk about such things as a wolf in sheep's clothing.
[04:33.000 --> 04:37.000]  José Manuel Grindar, a Spanish prosecutor on the fight against corruption.
[04:37.000 --> 04:41.000]  José Grindar revealed the money laundering scheme in Spain.
[04:41.000 --> 04:46.000]  He established a gang hierarchy, found out the accomplices, and calculated the amount of money laundered.
[04:46.000 --> 04:50.000]  In Spain, the people of St. Petersburg settled together, literally in neighboring houses.
[04:50.000 --> 04:54.000]  They shared the sphere of influence and subordinates.
[04:54.000 --> 04:58.000]  There were quite a lot of representatives of the Russian prosecutor's office,
[04:58.000 --> 05:04.000]  who were the object of the investigation of Spain, because they were playing a double game.
[05:04.000 --> 05:07.000]  On the one hand, they were representatives of the Russian prosecutor's office,
[05:07.000 --> 05:11.000]  and on the other hand, they were friends of Mr. Petrov.
[05:11.000 --> 05:17.000]  If I remember correctly, Mr. Bastrykin, Alexander Bastrykin,
[05:17.000 --> 05:20.000]  who was not the object of the investigation,
[05:20.000 --> 05:29.000]  we saw that Mr. Petrov, let's say, could be so close to him that it seemed dangerous to us.
[05:29.000 --> 05:33.000]  The wider the sphere of interest of the heroes of the banditry of St. Petersburg,
[05:33.000 --> 05:36.000]  the more active they were looking for lobbyists in power.
[05:36.000 --> 05:39.000]  I came in, there was a man sitting in a chair.
[05:39.000 --> 05:43.000]  I asked, hello, hello, who are you?
[05:43.000 --> 05:45.000]  Do you know me?
[05:45.000 --> 05:47.000]  He said, I don't know you.
[05:47.000 --> 05:50.000]  Well, I'm Yakovlev Konstantin.
[05:50.000 --> 05:52.000]  He doesn't tell me anything.
[05:52.000 --> 05:54.000]  Well, my name is Magela.
[05:54.000 --> 05:56.000]  Well, what do you want?
[05:56.000 --> 05:58.000]  Well, he said what he wanted.
[05:58.000 --> 06:03.000]  What can I do for you?
[06:03.000 --> 06:06.000]  That's how I got in touch with him.
[06:06.000 --> 06:10.000]  I said, thank you, I can't do this.
[06:10.000 --> 06:14.000]  According to the investigation, the former deputy director of state drug control,
[06:14.000 --> 06:17.000]  Nikolai Aulov, during the phone calls of the Russian mafia,
[06:17.000 --> 06:20.000]  spoke with Petrov almost 80 times.
[06:20.000 --> 06:24.000]  In most cases, it was Aulov who called Petrov for instructions.
[06:24.000 --> 06:28.000]  It was Aulov who gave support to Petrov's business.
[06:28.000 --> 06:31.000]  Now Aulov, co-author of the banditry of St. Petersburg
[06:31.000 --> 06:35.000]  and the role of the principal lieutenant colonel Nikita Nikitovich,
[06:35.000 --> 06:38.000]  is a retired general on pension.
[06:38.000 --> 06:42.000]  The arrested with a loud pump, at some point the Russians seemed to be lost.
[06:42.000 --> 06:46.000]  At first, they were bored in Spain under house arrest for many years.
[06:46.000 --> 06:51.000]  Then one by one they fled to Russia, where no one was looking for them.
[06:51.000 --> 06:54.000]  Gena, what Gena? You'll see him, you'll say,
[06:54.000 --> 06:57.000]  well, such a tall, tall pensioner.
[06:57.000 --> 07:00.000]  He still walks around Nabiyezhno sometimes in an adidas suit.
[07:00.000 --> 07:03.000]  White, expensive.
[07:03.000 --> 07:06.000]  Yevgeniy Vyshenkov, a journalist, former operative officer,
[07:06.000 --> 07:11.000]  former racketeer, familiar to many heroes of St. Petersburg.
[07:11.000 --> 07:14.000]  When Spain announced Petrov in search,
[07:14.000 --> 07:17.000]  Interpol found him on a stone island in St. Petersburg.
[07:17.000 --> 07:23.000]  The names of his neighbors on the house almost completely coincided with the composition of the famous cooperative Ozero.
[07:23.000 --> 07:26.000]  And the house was built by a Baltic construction company,
[07:26.000 --> 07:31.000]  associated with his son Anton, who is also in the international search.
[07:31.000 --> 07:36.000]  The partners of Anton Petrov were the well-known Bank of Russia.
[07:36.000 --> 07:38.000]  Tambovsky had old connections with him.
[07:38.000 --> 07:41.000]  Another common business bank is a security agency.
[07:41.000 --> 07:44.000]  On the eve of the operation Troyka, the bank left the business,
[07:44.000 --> 07:47.000]  and Leonid Khristoforov, the mother of the St. Petersburg authority,
[07:47.000 --> 07:52.000]  who was suspected of several attempted murders, took part in it.
[07:59.000 --> 08:03.000]  In 1991, one state ceased to exist.
[08:03.000 --> 08:05.000]  The second one has not yet begun.
[08:05.000 --> 08:09.000]  At this moment, first of all, a new nation is born in addition to the state.
[08:09.000 --> 08:12.000]  They say, it doesn't matter who we are, we will do something now.
[08:12.000 --> 08:15.000]  What to do? This is the question of the tenth.
[08:15.000 --> 08:20.000]  At first, the new color of the nation was covered by the Soviet trade.
[08:20.000 --> 08:25.000]  When the Spaniards triumphantly report the arrest of Tambovsky, they will laugh at them.
[08:25.000 --> 08:29.000]  The local security forces did not know anything about the disassembly in Givyatkin,
[08:29.000 --> 08:32.000]  when two clans appeared, Tambovsky and Malyshevsky.
[08:32.000 --> 08:35.000]  Before that, there were no such words, just brothers, just athletes.
[08:35.000 --> 08:38.000]  The reason for this famous fight was still nothing.
[08:38.000 --> 08:40.000]  The jacket stolen on the market.
[08:40.000 --> 08:43.000]  Then no one said that they were Tambovsky.
[08:43.000 --> 08:46.000]  Fedya, for whom it all happened, did not come.
[08:46.000 --> 08:49.000]  And everyone says, how? And Fedya runs.
[08:49.000 --> 08:53.000]  Because Fedya is a man of honor, he runs and says, guys, it's because of me.
[08:53.000 --> 08:57.000]  And when Fedya runs up to the roller with a knife, he immediately puts it on the ground.
[08:57.000 --> 08:59.000]  Immediately with a knife.
[08:59.000 --> 09:03.000]  And at that moment, 30 people understand what happened.
[09:03.000 --> 09:06.000]  It's not about the jacket, it's all about the blood.
[09:06.000 --> 09:08.000]  And everyone takes out everything that is in their pockets.
[09:08.000 --> 09:11.000]  Someone has an AT, someone has a knife, someone has a leg.
[09:11.000 --> 09:14.000]  That's it, the Soviet debate is over.
[09:17.000 --> 09:21.000]  Petrov joined the team of Alexander Malyshev, a baby.
[09:21.000 --> 09:24.000]  He, unlike Gena, did not work in principle.
[09:24.000 --> 09:28.000]  In the video of his first interrogation, he openly mocked the operatives.
[09:28.000 --> 09:30.000]  Where did the funds come from?
[09:30.000 --> 09:32.000]  Good people give.
[09:33.000 --> 09:36.000]  Alexander Malyshev, 60 years old.
[09:36.000 --> 09:39.000]  Founder of the Malyshev gang in Leningrad.
[09:39.000 --> 09:42.000]  Twice sentenced for murder.
[09:44.000 --> 09:48.000]  The sphere of interest of Petrov and Malyshev was the most diverse.
[09:48.000 --> 09:52.000]  At the end of 2010, the federation, which had not been known before,
[09:52.000 --> 09:55.000]  held a grandiose charity show in Moscow.
[09:55.000 --> 09:58.000]  The very thing on which President Vladimir Putin
[09:58.000 --> 10:06.000]  sang a classic of the American blues.
[10:12.000 --> 10:14.000]  Then a scandal broke out.
[10:14.000 --> 10:18.000]  The charity event turned out to be suspicious.
[10:18.000 --> 10:24.000]  And its organizer Vladimir Kiselev is associated with the heroes of the late 90s.
[10:24.000 --> 10:28.000]  Today, four famous Petersburg showmen Vladimir Kiselev,
[10:28.000 --> 10:31.000]  the head of the music center and his name,
[10:31.000 --> 10:36.000]  have been accused and elected by a measure of restricting the content of the guards.
[10:36.000 --> 10:41.000]  Together with Petrov, Kiselev was the co-founder of the White Nights festival in the 90s.
[10:41.000 --> 10:44.000]  Not that the Malyshevs were interested in art.
[10:44.000 --> 10:47.000]  As the materials of the criminal case will show,
[10:47.000 --> 10:50.000]  the company was needed to receive a video-magnet party
[10:50.000 --> 10:53.000]  under the guise of sponsorship assistance to the festival.
[10:53.000 --> 10:56.000]  We try to convince these people,
[10:56.000 --> 10:59.000]  to stand firmly on the hard path of correction,
[10:59.000 --> 11:02.000]  to try to keep them away from these people.
[11:02.000 --> 11:05.000]  We explain that it is not good, that it is not beautiful.
[11:05.000 --> 11:08.000]  Do you believe thanks to your personal opinion?
[11:08.000 --> 11:10.000]  Apparently so.
[11:10.000 --> 11:12.000]  Apparently so.
[11:12.000 --> 11:15.000]  Not thanks to the fact that there are powerful groups behind you.
[11:15.000 --> 11:17.000]  What groups are behind me?
[11:17.000 --> 11:19.000]  Well, let's say I ask.
[11:19.000 --> 11:22.000]  If you let me know what groups are behind me,
[11:22.000 --> 11:24.000]  I'll tell you.
[11:24.000 --> 11:27.000]  That's how Malyshev explained what he was doing at the interrogation.
[11:27.000 --> 11:31.000]  He, Petrov and a few other people were arrested on suspicion of banditry.
[11:31.000 --> 11:34.000]  The court failed to prove anything.
[11:34.000 --> 11:36.000]  Petrov was released.
[11:36.000 --> 11:39.000]  Malyshev received an indefinite term for the possession of weapons.
[11:39.000 --> 11:42.000]  There are no elements of banditry.
[11:42.000 --> 11:44.000]  There are no organized groups.
[11:44.000 --> 11:47.000]  There are no armed groups that demand banditry.
[11:47.000 --> 11:49.000]  There is no stability.
[11:49.000 --> 11:52.000]  There was no such thing.
[11:52.000 --> 11:57.000]  Petrov, Malyshev and their companions moved to Spain in the late 90s.
[11:57.000 --> 12:00.000]  Banditry began to haunt them.
[12:00.000 --> 12:03.000]  Alexander Malyshev and Gennadiy Petrov were no more.
[12:03.000 --> 12:07.000]  There were Alejandro Lagnes González and Gennadios Petrov.
[12:07.000 --> 12:11.000]  From Spain, they controlled the activities of the criminal groups
[12:11.000 --> 12:13.000]  headed by them in Russia.
[12:13.000 --> 12:16.000]  It was murder, arms trafficking, extortion,
[12:16.000 --> 12:19.000]  fraud, fraud of documents,
[12:19.000 --> 12:21.000]  trade of connections, bribes,
[12:21.000 --> 12:25.000]  illegal deals, smuggling, drug trafficking.
[12:25.000 --> 12:29.000]  All the property that Mr. Petrov lived in Spain
[12:29.000 --> 12:32.000]  as a result of money laundering was taken away from us
[12:32.000 --> 12:35.000]  in favor of the Spanish state.
[12:35.000 --> 12:39.000]  From his side, he apparently decided to leave it all.
[12:39.000 --> 12:44.000]  As for his wife, Mrs. Elena Petrova and his son Anton Petrov,
[12:44.000 --> 12:47.000]  they, as the investigation showed,
[12:47.000 --> 12:51.000]  were no more than a tool in his activity.
[12:51.000 --> 12:54.000]  Being a prosecutor in the fight against corruption,
[12:54.000 --> 12:57.000]  Jose Grindo González himself became the personification
[12:57.000 --> 13:00.000]  of the worst crime, pedophilia.
[13:00.000 --> 13:03.000]  Grindo was accused of pedophilia
[13:03.000 --> 13:06.000]  just before the beginning of the trial.
[13:06.000 --> 13:09.000]  He says that the criminal charges were provoked
[13:09.000 --> 13:12.000]  by the former Minister of Communications Leonid Reymann,
[13:12.000 --> 13:15.000]  who came from St. Petersburg in the 90s.
[13:15.000 --> 13:19.000]  On May 18-17, Spanish lawyer Ignacio Pelaez,
[13:19.000 --> 13:22.000]  who often appeared on TV in Spain,
[13:22.000 --> 13:25.000]  said that he was a pedophile.
[13:25.000 --> 13:28.000]  I can only say one thing about this.
[13:28.000 --> 13:31.000]  First, a claim was filed in the Spanish court
[13:31.000 --> 13:34.000]  on the protection of honor and dignity
[13:34.000 --> 13:37.000]  with compensation of damage of 1,200,000 euros.
[13:37.000 --> 13:40.000]  Second, the Spanish prosecutor's office,
[13:40.000 --> 13:43.000]  which I support,
[13:43.000 --> 13:46.000]  and Mr. Pelaez expected to receive money
[13:46.000 --> 13:49.000]  in case of confirmation of the charges.
[13:49.000 --> 13:52.000]  In Spain, Petrov led a luxurious life.
[13:52.000 --> 13:55.000]  Tens of millions of euros on the accounts,
[13:55.000 --> 13:58.000]  a luxurious house, bought diamonds,
[13:58.000 --> 14:01.000]  went to Alfa Romeo and flew on a private plane.
[14:01.000 --> 14:04.000]  But the source of prosperity for him and his companions
[14:04.000 --> 14:07.000]  was always Russia.
[14:07.000 --> 14:10.000]  At least, and that's a lot.
[14:10.000 --> 14:13.000]  Is it still Gennady?
[14:13.000 --> 14:16.000]  Gennady, of course.
[14:16.000 --> 14:19.000]  The same people who were part of Petrov's group,
[14:19.000 --> 14:22.000]  and who never managed to judge
[14:22.000 --> 14:25.000]  neither in Russia nor in Spain,
[14:25.000 --> 14:28.000]  are now building a business empire
[14:28.000 --> 14:31.000]  together with Gennady's son Anton.
[14:31.000 --> 14:34.000]  The Spaniards believe that Gennady Petrov
[14:34.000 --> 14:37.000]  will transfer 5 million dollars
[14:37.000 --> 14:40.000]  to his son's company to build a residential complex.
[14:40.000 --> 14:43.000]  The page is 154.
[14:43.000 --> 14:46.000]  Petrov transfers 300,000 dollars to Domna Kazanskaya.
[14:46.000 --> 14:49.000]  Anton Petrov owns it
[14:49.000 --> 14:52.000]  and the company of the current Minister of Transport
[14:52.000 --> 14:55.000]  Maxim Sokolov, Corporation S.
[14:55.000 --> 14:58.000]  The main partner of Anton Petrov in the business
[14:58.000 --> 15:01.000]  is Arkady Buravoy.
[15:01.000 --> 15:04.000]  Buravoy in the documents of the Spanish prosecutor's office
[15:04.000 --> 15:07.000]  is called the right hand of Gennady Petrov.
[15:07.000 --> 15:10.000]  The empire of Anton Petrov consists of many businesses.
[15:10.000 --> 15:13.000]  However, not all projects are successful.
[15:13.000 --> 15:16.000]  Many were either bankrupted or suffered losses.
[15:16.000 --> 15:19.000]  Another son of Gennady Petrov, Alexey,
[15:19.000 --> 15:22.000]  manages the company that serves the president's business.
[15:22.000 --> 15:25.000]  The company with the same name was mentioned
[15:25.000 --> 15:28.000]  in the Spanish criminal case.
[15:28.000 --> 15:31.000]  In new realities, when money is earned
[15:31.000 --> 15:34.000]  by forceful methods,
[15:34.000 --> 15:37.000]  Petrov turned out to be much more successful
[15:37.000 --> 15:40.000]  than the former leader of the group Malyshev,
[15:40.000 --> 15:43.000]  then of the Kapskov workers.
[15:43.000 --> 15:46.000]  But he is also not in trouble.
[15:46.000 --> 15:49.000]  He received a share in Anton Petrov's company.
[15:49.000 --> 15:52.000]  She manages the company of the former leader of the group Malyshev,
[15:52.000 --> 15:55.000]  then of the Kapskov workers.
[15:55.000 --> 15:58.000]  She received a share in Anton Petrov's company.
[15:58.000 --> 16:01.000]  She manages the company of the former leader of the group Malyshev,
[16:01.000 --> 16:04.000]  then of the Kapskov workers.
[16:04.000 --> 16:07.000]  If I were a Russian and came to Spain,
[16:07.000 --> 16:10.000]  I would like Spain to fight the Russian mafia.
[16:10.000 --> 16:13.000]  I would like Spain to fight the Russian mafia.
[16:13.000 --> 16:16.000]  Because criminal organizations
[16:16.000 --> 16:19.000]  cause harm almost always,
[16:19.000 --> 16:26.000]  only to compatriots.
[16:33.000 --> 16:36.000]  One of the most important tasks
[16:36.000 --> 16:39.000]  in the preparation of the plane for flight
[16:39.000 --> 16:42.000]  is to refuel it with fuel.
[16:42.000 --> 16:45.000]  It was quite clear about Vladimir Vladimirovich.
[16:45.000 --> 16:48.000]  Being the deputy commissioner,
[16:48.000 --> 16:51.000]  he subsequently transferred oil and oil power to the company.
[16:51.000 --> 16:54.000]  He subsequently transferred oil and oil power to the company.
[16:54.000 --> 16:57.000]  All these movements, of course, were paid a share of interest.
[16:57.000 --> 17:00.000]  All these movements, of course, were paid a share of interest.
[17:00.000 --> 17:03.000]  Maxim Freidzon, a businessman,
[17:03.000 --> 17:06.000]  argued with Gazprom and Luke Oil for $543 million.
[17:06.000 --> 17:09.000]  He lives in emigration.
[17:09.000 --> 17:12.000]  In 1996, Putin, working as the first deputy mayor of Anatoliy Sobchak,
[17:12.000 --> 17:15.000]  handed over the only fuel and gas system of Pulkovo
[17:15.000 --> 17:18.000]  to the Sovex company.
[17:18.000 --> 17:21.000]  Maxim Freidzon claims that for a favorable decision,
[17:21.000 --> 17:24.000]  the vice mayor asked for 15% of the company.
[17:24.000 --> 17:27.000]  Four were traded.
[17:27.000 --> 17:30.000]  A year later, Sovex's profit reached $600 million a year.
[17:30.000 --> 17:33.000]  And Freidzon was forced to be deprived of his share, he claims.
[17:33.000 --> 17:36.000]  Freidzon says that together with Skigin
[17:36.000 --> 17:39.000]  in the 90s he created the Sigma company,
[17:39.000 --> 17:42.000]  which was then established by Sovex.
[17:42.000 --> 17:45.000]  From Luke Oil Aero and Gazprom Nefti,
[17:45.000 --> 17:48.000]  the current owners of the gas station,
[17:48.000 --> 17:51.000]  about $500 million were sold to them without his participation in Sovex.
[17:51.000 --> 17:54.000]  There they claim that Freidzon did not take any part in the Sovex activity.
[17:54.000 --> 17:57.000]  And the Sigma shareholder became only in the 2000s,
[17:57.000 --> 18:00.000]  when that company no longer had any assets.
[18:05.000 --> 18:08.000]  In the 80s, Freidzon was an activist in the Jewish community
[18:08.000 --> 18:11.000]  and the only specialist in cutting in the USSR.
[18:11.000 --> 18:14.000]  And in the 90s he was engaged in business.
[18:14.000 --> 18:17.000]  His partner in Sovex became the alpinist Dmitry Skigin.
[18:17.000 --> 18:20.000]  Soon Skigin will become not only Putin's acquaintance,
[18:20.000 --> 18:23.000]  but also a key figure in the financial operations of the St. Petersburg.
[18:23.000 --> 18:26.000]  He will also, like Petrov, leave to live in Europe.
[18:26.000 --> 18:29.000]  He will face the local court of justice,
[18:29.000 --> 18:32.000]  but this will not prevent him from doing so.
[18:32.000 --> 18:35.000]  Skigin and his heirs will build a business
[18:35.000 --> 18:38.000]  that works profitably to this day.
[18:38.000 --> 18:41.000]  This is not a train that checks the border guards,
[18:41.000 --> 18:44.000]  but you put the crane in the tank, it flowed.
[18:44.000 --> 18:47.000]  As soon as it crossed the border of the port,
[18:47.000 --> 18:50.000]  it is already in the west.
[18:50.000 --> 18:53.000]  That is the situation that existed then.
[18:53.000 --> 18:56.000]  In the city of St. Petersburg, it was a great way
[18:56.000 --> 18:59.000]  to transfer money that was received by some illegal way
[18:59.000 --> 19:02.000]  absolutely calmly through the plane tank
[19:02.000 --> 19:05.000]  to the same hotel.
[19:05.000 --> 19:08.000]  In the 90s, the refueling of the planes in Pulkovo
[19:08.000 --> 19:11.000]  was going according to a brilliant scheme.
[19:11.000 --> 19:14.000]  All the calculations were carried out directly from the company
[19:14.000 --> 19:17.000]  from Liechtenstein, a convenient offshore zone.
[19:17.000 --> 19:20.000]  The project was moving without bandits
[19:20.000 --> 19:23.000]  until Dima finally bowed down in 1996.
[19:23.000 --> 19:26.000]  Why did this happen in 1996?
[19:26.000 --> 19:29.000]  I don't know what exactly happened to him,
[19:29.000 --> 19:32.000]  but in the spring of 1995,
[19:32.000 --> 19:35.000]  there was a problem with the forest.
[19:35.000 --> 19:38.000]  The appeal to Ilya and Vasily
[19:38.000 --> 19:41.000]  was requested to stop the issue with the bank.
[19:44.000 --> 19:47.000]  The aforementioned Ilya and Vasily
[19:47.000 --> 19:50.000]  are the famous St. Petersburg authorities,
[19:50.000 --> 19:53.000]  Ilya Traber and Sergey Vasilyev.
[19:53.000 --> 19:56.000]  The words of Freidzon confirm the documents.
[19:56.000 --> 19:59.000]  After the change of shareholders, the owners of Sovex
[19:59.000 --> 20:02.000]  and several offshores.
[20:02.000 --> 20:05.000]  Now the entire fuel and refueling complex of the city
[20:05.000 --> 20:08.000]  was subordinate to the St. Petersburg authorities.
[20:08.000 --> 20:11.000]  Sovex refueled the planes in Pulkovo.
[20:11.000 --> 20:14.000]  The Baltic bunker company Traber and Petrov
[20:14.000 --> 20:17.000]  was engaged in the bunkering of ships in the port.
[20:17.000 --> 20:20.000]  The St. Petersburg oil terminal was a transporter,
[20:20.000 --> 20:23.000]  and the St. Petersburg fuel company controlled by the smugglers
[20:23.000 --> 20:26.000]  supplied the entire city transport with gasoline.
[20:26.000 --> 20:29.000]  When Putin went to work in Moscow,
[20:29.000 --> 20:32.000]  Alexander Dyukov, the current head of Gazprom Nefti,
[20:32.000 --> 20:35.000]  was assigned to manage the terminal,
[20:35.000 --> 20:38.000]  and then a simple engineer in Sovex.
[20:38.000 --> 20:41.000]  Alexei Miller, a subordinate of Traber,
[20:41.000 --> 20:44.000]  was watching the sea port after Putin's transfer.
[20:44.000 --> 20:47.000]  Now Freidzon is pursuing Miller and Dyukov
[20:47.000 --> 20:50.000]  in British and American ships.
[20:50.000 --> 20:53.000]  I think that personal history played a big role here.
[20:53.000 --> 20:56.000]  He emigrated to Germany with his wife.
[20:56.000 --> 20:59.000]  He didn't seem to be able to earn money,
[20:59.000 --> 21:02.000]  and he just left his suitcase on the stairs.
[21:02.000 --> 21:05.000]  He had to come back.
[21:05.000 --> 21:08.000]  Did he leave his wife on the stairs?
[21:08.000 --> 21:11.000]  No.
[21:11.000 --> 21:14.000]  It probably greatly affected his attitude to...
[21:14.000 --> 21:17.000]  Well, you know.
[21:17.000 --> 21:20.000]  In 2003 Skigin died in Nice,
[21:20.000 --> 21:23.000]  leaving an impressive inheritance worth $600 million.
[21:23.000 --> 21:26.000]  His wife complained about the money,
[21:26.000 --> 21:29.000]  but she refused.
[21:29.000 --> 21:32.000]  His eldest son, Mikhail Skigin,
[21:32.000 --> 21:35.000]  was appointed to manage his father's business.
[21:35.000 --> 21:38.000]  Freidzon says that it was in exchange for real property.
[21:38.000 --> 21:41.000]  I don't think there was much money.
[21:41.000 --> 21:44.000]  There was a common fund.
[21:44.000 --> 21:47.000]  Skigin gets his 5 million a year.
[21:47.000 --> 21:50.000]  Albin's widow gets an apartment in Nice,
[21:50.000 --> 21:53.000]  but the business assets are protected by the nominals
[21:53.000 --> 21:56.000]  so that the real owners don't have to worry.
[21:56.000 --> 21:59.000]  The official owner of Sovex, Horizon International Trading
[21:59.000 --> 22:02.000]  from Liechtenstein, is managed by the local lawyers
[22:02.000 --> 22:05.000]  Graham Smith and Marcus Hassler.
[22:05.000 --> 22:08.000]  Graham Smith is the nominal manager of many companies
[22:08.000 --> 22:11.000]  associated with the St. Petersburg ones.
[22:11.000 --> 22:14.000]  He was expelled from Britain because of machinations.
[22:14.000 --> 22:17.000]  This is where the offshore management comes from,
[22:17.000 --> 22:20.000]  from the dull business center in Kromzon
[22:20.000 --> 22:23.000]  on the outskirts of Rugel.
[22:26.000 --> 22:29.000]  In 2008, the Panamanian company Saturn Shipping
[22:29.000 --> 22:32.000]  ordered three oil tankers for Krasnaya Sormova.
[22:32.000 --> 22:35.000]  A year later, the first tanker was launched.
[22:35.000 --> 22:38.000]  In this video you can see Mikhail,
[22:38.000 --> 22:41.000]  the eldest son of Dmitry Skigin,
[22:41.000 --> 22:44.000]  who changed his father's business.
[22:44.000 --> 22:47.000]  In 2012 they had a contract.
[22:47.000 --> 22:50.000]  I wanted to get in touch with the owners,
[22:50.000 --> 22:53.000]  but Misha said no, no, no, and once again no.
[22:53.000 --> 22:56.000]  The company Horizon is still engaged in oil trading.
[22:56.000 --> 22:59.000]  Misha and his new company VeloLand.
[22:59.000 --> 23:02.000]  Bicycles.
[23:02.000 --> 23:05.000]  Bicycles and these toll roads.
[23:05.000 --> 23:08.000]  Skigin had to leave his studies at the University
[23:08.000 --> 23:11.000]  of International Relations in Switzerland
[23:11.000 --> 23:14.000]  and take over the management of his father's assets.
[23:14.000 --> 23:17.000]  As a result, he was transferred to Smith & Hussler.
[23:17.000 --> 23:20.000]  Mikhail's main asset, the oil terminal in St. Petersburg,
[23:20.000 --> 23:23.000]  still kept in touch with Horizon International Trading.
[23:23.000 --> 23:26.000]  The interests of Skigin's sons Mikhail and Evgeny
[23:26.000 --> 23:29.000]  and the same Traber are also spread to the port in Paranay.
[23:29.000 --> 23:32.000]  The port in Ust-Luga is controlled by the company,
[23:32.000 --> 23:35.000]  managed by the same Smith & Hussler.
[23:35.000 --> 23:38.000]  Mikhail Skigin is also interested in the field of construction.
[23:38.000 --> 23:41.000]  He also has high-ranking partners in the Principality of Monaco.
[23:41.000 --> 23:44.000]  For example, Serge Tell,
[23:44.000 --> 23:47.000]  who is also called the current Prime Minister of Monaco.
[23:47.000 --> 23:50.000]  Mikhail Skigin does not look like someone
[23:50.000 --> 23:53.000]  who could cooperate with the authorities.
[23:53.000 --> 23:56.000]  He is a vegetarian, produces cinema
[23:56.000 --> 23:59.000]  and trades fashionable bicycles.
[23:59.000 --> 24:02.000]  He assured his daughter that he had documents
[24:02.000 --> 24:05.000]  from the Prosecutor's Office of Monaco that confirm
[24:05.000 --> 24:08.000]  his family to the criminal activities of Horizon.
[24:08.000 --> 24:11.000]  Freidzon called him a greedy man.
[24:11.000 --> 24:14.000]  Mikhail's investments are related to the fact
[24:14.000 --> 24:17.000]  that he uses the same fund,
[24:17.000 --> 24:20.000]  which is kept by Smith & Hussler.
[24:24.000 --> 24:27.000]  In terms of the collective,
[24:27.000 --> 24:30.000]  he remained the same.
[24:30.000 --> 24:33.000]  The comfort of Petrov and all the old people in Russia
[24:33.000 --> 24:36.000]  is that they know each other well.
[24:36.000 --> 24:39.000]  It is also impressive that they recognize each other as a gang.
[24:45.000 --> 24:48.000]  Brother Dmitry Vladimir Skigin
[24:48.000 --> 24:51.000]  was a co-owner of the legendary Volcano casinos in the 90s.
[24:51.000 --> 24:54.000]  Later, the casino was banned,
[24:54.000 --> 24:57.000]  but there are still many sites
[24:57.000 --> 25:04.000]  that are associated with the Volcano brand.
[25:04.000 --> 25:07.000]  Now the operator of the Volcano license
[25:07.000 --> 25:10.000]  is hiding behind a nominal company,
[25:10.000 --> 25:13.000]  probably related to Skigin.
[25:13.000 --> 25:16.000]  A company from the Marshall Islands owns the trademark.
[25:16.000 --> 25:19.000]  However, the World Intellectual Property Organization
[25:19.000 --> 25:22.000]  says that this is a company,
[25:22.000 --> 25:25.000]  and the holding of Rizzo, where Skigin was one of the founders,
[25:25.000 --> 25:28.000]  has a new face.
[25:28.000 --> 25:31.000]  Vladimir Skigin has a partner, Pavel Kudryashov.
[25:31.000 --> 25:34.000]  It looks like a laugh of history,
[25:34.000 --> 25:37.000]  because Kudryashov is no other than Pasha Kudryash,
[25:37.000 --> 25:40.000]  who once stopped the bloody showdown in Devyatkin.
[25:40.000 --> 25:43.000]  Pasha Kudryashov, the master of Porto Podzido,
[25:43.000 --> 25:46.000]  stands among them and speaks like a pastor.
[25:46.000 --> 25:49.000]  What do you think you are doing?
[25:49.000 --> 25:52.000]  Look, a person is dying, and you are here.
[25:52.000 --> 25:55.000]  I am here.
[25:55.000 --> 25:58.000]  I am here.
[25:58.000 --> 26:01.000]  I am here.
[26:01.000 --> 26:04.000]  Prince, you should get some steam.
[26:04.000 --> 26:07.000]  He'll make it.
[26:07.000 --> 26:10.000]  He'll put a Russian bath in Monaco.
[26:10.000 --> 26:14.000]  Yesterday we gave him
[26:14.000 --> 26:17.000]  shayaks and wieners.
[26:17.000 --> 26:20.000]  In the summer of 2007, Prince Albert II
[26:20.000 --> 26:23.000]  came to Tuva on the invitation of the Russian president.
[26:23.000 --> 26:26.000]  Prince was fishing, Putin was photographing fuel.
[26:26.000 --> 26:29.000]  Yes.
[26:29.000 --> 26:32.000]  This is a good fisherman.
[26:32.000 --> 26:35.000]  It was the beginning of a strong and, as some say,
[26:35.000 --> 26:38.000]  not merciless friendship.
[26:38.000 --> 26:41.000]  In the next few years Prince Albert will visit Russia
[26:41.000 --> 26:44.000]  at least 40 more times.
[26:44.000 --> 26:47.000]  Well, it came about because
[26:47.000 --> 26:50.000]  he wanted to visit the North Pole.
[26:50.000 --> 26:53.000]  The Russian side agreed to help him,
[26:53.000 --> 26:56.000]  and it was assumed that at the end
[26:56.000 --> 26:59.000]  Putin would welcome Albert at a family dinner in the Kremlin.
[26:59.000 --> 27:02.000]  During this time, Putin expressed his desire
[27:02.000 --> 27:05.000]  to give Albert a new cottage in Monaco.
[27:05.000 --> 27:08.000]  Albert said that there was nowhere in Monaco to build a cottage,
[27:08.000 --> 27:11.000]  and Putin suggested building it somewhere else.
[27:11.000 --> 27:14.000]  Albert thought and replied
[27:14.000 --> 27:17.000]  that it could be built on a private farm,
[27:17.000 --> 27:20.000]  Rocagelle, in the French Alps.
[27:20.000 --> 27:23.000]  But Albert did not understand that being a MoC member
[27:23.000 --> 27:26.000]  he would take a bribe,
[27:26.000 --> 27:29.000]  because Putin wanted the Olympic Games
[27:29.000 --> 27:32.000]  to take place in Sochi.
[27:32.000 --> 27:35.000]  In the early 2000s, Robert Erringer
[27:35.000 --> 27:38.000]  worked for the secret service of Prince Albert,
[27:38.000 --> 27:41.000]  former FBI informant and investigative journalist.
[27:41.000 --> 27:44.000]  The International Olympic Committee
[27:44.000 --> 27:47.000]  has the honor of announcing
[27:47.000 --> 27:50.000]  that the 22 Olympic Winter Games
[27:50.000 --> 27:57.000]  in 2014 are ordered in the city of Sochi.
[27:57.000 --> 28:00.000]  But that's the problem with Albert.
[28:00.000 --> 28:03.000]  He doesn't have such advisors
[28:03.000 --> 28:06.000]  who would tell him,
[28:06.000 --> 28:09.000]  You can't do that, Robert.
[28:09.000 --> 28:12.000]  You are breaking the moral code.
[28:12.000 --> 28:15.000]  You are actually taking a bribe.
[28:15.000 --> 28:18.000]  And what happens next?
[28:18.000 --> 28:21.000]  He votes for Sochi.
[28:21.000 --> 28:24.000]  Albert's father was seriously ill,
[28:24.000 --> 28:27.000]  and before he could inherit the throne,
[28:27.000 --> 28:30.000]  the Prince decided to conduct a small investigation,
[28:30.000 --> 28:33.000]  namely to understand who were those numerous Russians
[28:33.000 --> 28:36.000]  who were then in Monaco.
[28:36.000 --> 28:39.000]  I got the list from the Monaco police,
[28:39.000 --> 28:42.000]  because Albert said that she had to cooperate with me
[28:42.000 --> 28:45.000]  in my investigations.
[28:45.000 --> 28:48.000]  There were 62 Russian residents in Monaco.
[28:48.000 --> 28:51.000]  They all seemed to me to be very honorable.
[28:51.000 --> 28:54.000]  One of the honorable residents at that time
[28:54.000 --> 28:57.000]  was Dmitry Skigin.
[28:57.000 --> 29:00.000]  He moved closer to the financial center
[29:00.000 --> 29:03.000]  of the St. Petersburg authorities.
[29:03.000 --> 29:06.000]  This is the Horizon International Trading,
[29:06.000 --> 29:09.000]  created by Erringer to wash money.
[29:09.000 --> 29:12.000]  Erringer hired a woman.
[29:12.000 --> 29:15.000]  From the archives of Robert Erringer,
[29:15.000 --> 29:18.000]  a former employee of the Monaco intelligence service.
[29:18.000 --> 29:21.000]  Marta reported that Satrama declared
[29:21.000 --> 29:24.000]  an insignificant turnover of 100,000 euros per month.
[29:24.000 --> 29:27.000]  But in fact, this company washed millions
[29:27.000 --> 29:30.000]  and millions of euros per month
[29:30.000 --> 29:33.000]  in St. Petersburg.
[29:33.000 --> 29:36.000]  Marta was at a party in Kapfer,
[29:36.000 --> 29:39.000]  where the executive director of Satrama
[29:39.000 --> 29:42.000]  offered a toast in honor of the President of Russia,
[29:42.000 --> 29:45.000]  saying that nothing would be possible without Putin.
[29:45.000 --> 29:48.000]  We believe, based on information from our sources,
[29:48.000 --> 29:51.000]  that the closest circle of Putin in St. Petersburg
[29:51.000 --> 29:54.000]  gave him 4% of the share in Satrama.
[29:54.000 --> 29:57.000]  He demanded a share from Skigin,
[29:57.000 --> 30:00.000]  and he got exactly these 4%.
[30:00.000 --> 30:03.000]  Where did this man come from,
[30:03.000 --> 30:06.000]  who, as they say, gives orders to Skigin
[30:06.000 --> 30:09.000]  about a share in the business
[30:09.000 --> 30:12.000]  and communicates with the Russian leadership?
[30:12.000 --> 30:15.000]  Sergei Vasiliev lived in this wooden house.
[30:15.000 --> 30:18.000]  He went to school here.
[30:18.000 --> 30:21.000]  They wrote that this was his only education.
[30:21.000 --> 30:24.000]  In Vyritsa, they would not have found out
[30:24.000 --> 30:27.000]  about the life that Vasiliev led.
[30:27.000 --> 30:30.000]  Sergei Vasiliev was 63 years old.
[30:30.000 --> 30:33.000]  He was born in the village of Vyritsa in the Leningrad region.
[30:33.000 --> 30:36.000]  He was actually the owner of the St. Petersburg oil terminal.
[30:40.000 --> 30:43.000]  Vasiliev built the palace on the banks of the Oridezh River
[30:43.000 --> 30:46.000]  in the early 2000s.
[30:46.000 --> 30:49.000]  He made a copy of the Katerininsky Palace in Pushkin
[30:49.000 --> 30:52.000]  and boasted about the interiors in the magazine Salon.
[30:52.000 --> 30:55.000]  The walls of the office are covered with silk.
[30:55.000 --> 30:58.000]  The iconostasis is a bas-relief with a picture
[30:58.000 --> 31:23.000]  of a large hall with cooking columns.
