obsessed with gold, the security forces in transbaikalia liquidated a criminal community whose members illegally exported the precious metal abroad. hello, eduard petrov is in the studio, and we see that this black sand glows with such a golden-yellow color. his group specialized specifically in moving gold through smuggling.

the purity is above 80%, everything is fine here, no , the bullion was seized at the border, and there is no smuggling here, you are not a smuggler, of course not, you mean it’s just that. friends, a gift, four rectangular and four rectangular bars, understood, you see, smuggled gold was found in the cargo translator. a bundle of yellow metal, which turned out to be gold, was found in the technological hole. 16 members of the criminal community were detained and taken into custody. metal needs to be mined if this is your calling. about 40 tons of gold are officially mined in transbaikalia every year. such developments are usually carried out

industrially, but it is unknown how much precious metal passes through hands black dealers, as a rule, illegal diggers operating in the tag sell the bullion to buyers, and they look for an opportunity to transport it abroad for fabulous money. border guards, customs officers and police officers of transbaikalia exposed an international organized criminal community, whose members managed... to withdraw more than a ton of gold bars from russia in a year. how smuggling of precious metal was organized, how much treasure hunters earned, who supervised the illegal gold business. we took up this matter and conducted their investigation.

video recorder, this is a chase, one of the stages of a large-scale special operation of the border department of the fsb of russia in the trans-baikal territory. a white toyota corolla rushes past grazing cows. it seems that she is about to crash somewhere, but... the old

foreign car almost escapes pursuit. behind the wheel, according to operatives, is a member of a local gang that has been stealing gold for years. after a couple of moments , it’s all over, the driver is detained. theft and smuggling. still a valuable metal a big problem for our country, there are no fewer people obsessed with gold, we went to the trans-baikal territory to see how the fight against illegal miners and buyers is now being waged, and what the modern gold rush is like.

our film crew is in the north of the karymsky region, here in the remote taiga there is industrial mining of precious metal, from a bird's eye view you can see workings, excavations for many kilometers, the landscape is cosmic, here people literally walk on gold. this is the lunar landscape there is only one team working around us, what are you going to do now? let's take a sample, it turns out, yes, let's try, that is, there may be gold here, yes, yes, well, we must be lucky, i hope

the mining foreman collects earth into an ordinary metal basin and begins to methodically wash it. they drain the water several times , and finally, at the very bottom, sparkling grains of gold appear. we have already reached almost the end and the gold is not yet visible, well, not at all, but i see in your eyes that you have already found something? no, no, pebbles, pebbles, so we look and we see that this black sand with...

at this development, according to experts, it is possible to extract at least 5 kg of precious metal in a month. there is heavy equipment here, excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, this is an outlandish machine, this is a vibrating screen, an industrial device, it turns out, what is it, how does it work? it is powered by a 150 kw diesel power plant, and there is an eccentric on top of the engine, it swings it on springs, we feed the rock here with an excavator, it’s all washed off with water, everything goes away, small the sand falls into the deck onto the carpets, and the stones accordingly fall here separately, you take out the stones, wash the sand, and this

is all washed, we serve the dirty, we take out the clean everything together, it turns out, well, something like this, of course, you saw some pretty large nuggets there’s no gold here, there’s no gold here, there’s no, but this is the size, if you can show it like this, well, i’ve seen these in my life, maybe these are like this, but there’s some kind of desire, well, it’s bad to steal, no, why pay yourself a higher salary , everything’s fine, everything’s fine, black digger there are some here in the area, well, they probably exist in many places in the trans-bakalsky region, of course, but without this, theft in artels is really not held in high esteem, because if someone is caught red-handed, it’s a screwdriver. it will be impossible, they can easily beat you up, and only then a criminal case and a trial, and there are quite tolerable living conditions in the taiga, a very decent official salary, from 2000 rubles. but still,

the thirst for easy money sometimes wins. let's move all the remaining borrowings to the capital of transbaikalia, chita is in full swing here investigation of a criminal case of gold bullion smuggling. this criminal case was initiated on the basis of operational materials provided by the border service and... police officers on the basis of the elements of crimes provided for in part one, part two of article 210 of the criminal code of the russian federation, namely a criminal community in accordance with part three of article 226 point 1 of the criminal code of the russian federation,

namely smuggling - illegal movement from the territory of the russian federation abroad of precious metals, namely gold, as well as initiated under article 191, part five, of the criminal code of the russian federation, illegal guarding, movement of precious metal. 30 people were under investigation, all of them citizens of different states. operational information about the functioning of

the smuggling gold channel through the zabaikalsk checkpoint. after carrying out a number of operational activities, we realized that two residents of zabaikalsk were involved in this channel, well, as organizers, they are citizen akhmetov and citizen ragimkhanov, who essentially headed the subgroup. according to the security forces, mail ragimkhanov. was the leader of the transbaikal branch of the ops, under his command there were more than 20 people. his group specialized directly in smuggling gold across the borders of the russian federation. in his activities , he relied on railway workers involved in criminal activities, directly transferred gold to them, but they already delivered it abroad. tom established covert surveillance when it became clear that they

were indeed related to illegal gold business, they decided to detain them, but it turned out to be not so easy: for example, sergei akhmetov was given a real chase after he took gold bars from a courier on august 11, 2022 in the vicinity of the border village of zabaikalsky, this footage... we showed at the beginning of our program, sensing surveillance, sergei akhmetov pressed the gas and tried to escape pursuit, border control operatives chased his car for several kilometers, and stopped akhmetov in the city area. found in the car 8 kg of gold bars intended to

be sent abroad, rumors of this operation spread quite quickly throughout the region. mail ragimkhanov lay low, he hid for several days and communicated by phone only with his foreign curators, here is one fragment of the negotiations, he spoke seriously with lawyers, he says: what an idiot is talking about. the shift was arrested and sent to a pre-trial detention center.

a search was conducted in ragimkhanov's house, but no gold was found. the businessman managed to transfer it to his foreign partners. and here is the place where he hid jewelry was discovered. the cache was in this burnt-out stove. it was clear to the border control officers that without the active help of foreigners, neither ragimkhanov nor akhmetov simply could work. the first and most important obstacle is the language barrier. during interrogations, operatives found out who helped domestic businessmen. these are citizens of a neighboring state, wang lei, ivan tsezian, who. recently settled in chita, first came to van lei, whom the neighbors called

pasha, open up, police, have a seat. dear, introduce yourself, introduce yourself, last name, first name, yours, what citizen are you? and citizen, why wonlei vany, everything is fine, there is something forbidden in the house, there is nothing, well, now let’s figure it out, you understand russian in spoken language, but you understand it a little, a little, you can’t read, no, no, sit down, come on, you have is there anything

prohibited in the house, weapons? in the safe of van lei, also known as pasha, there were two bags of gold bars in a soap box. the man was taken to the trans-baikal line directorate of the russian ministry of internal affairs on transport and interrogated. it became clear that the chinese served as a coordinator.

he connected illegal buyers of drakmetal in transbaikalia with his high-ranking curators. meanwhile, the operatives were on the tail of wang qiuzian, the man was detained at the moment when he took the goods and headed towards zabaikalsk by car. in this box , respectively, four objects were found, re-angular in shape, now i propose, accordingly, now an employee will arrive, bring the foxes, we will weigh it all accordingly. while the border guards were unpacking gold bars, wang quan looked at what was happening indifferently, a total of 13 bars were counted, the foreigners were sent for interrogation. investigators were interested in where the coordinators get the money to pay suppliers,

it turned out that several financiers worked in the organized gold criminal community and... the task was to collect money from criminal partners trading in the transbaikalia market, a kind of quitrent, one of these black accountants turned out to be liu xiufang, the woman was detained in the chit, and they found an ordinary plastic handbag filled with bundles of bills of different denominations. liu wu xiu fang was unable to explain the origin of the money; she was also arrested. soon, employees of the border department of the fsb of russia found out the names of the gold buyers, a real hunt was organized for them, among them was

igor chernyak, his toyota was stopped on the road near. the city of borze offered to give out the precious metal, chernyak refused, then they decided to inspect the car, put it on the seat, well , put it on the rug, under the driver’s seat there are several home-made gold bars, what is this, wait, and move away from the car, what is this what it is?

here, oh, pour everything into the bag, also in the bag.

further examination, this metal after applying the reagent shows that no reaction occurred, this indicates that this metal contains gold, that is , it is gold of approximately 800, 850 samples, not higher, fsb officers. there was no longer any doubt that they had traced the criminal community and continued to work. the operatives managed to establish the name of the owner of one of

the mines in tyva, where precious metal was openly stolen and then brought back zabaikalsk it was alexander shlensky. the mine officially handed over part of the gold mine in 2022, the mining license expired and... during this year 2022 gold was actually mined illegally, and how much gold was given, you know, again approximately, well, each batch, each of his batches sent to vasiliev amounted to about 10-12 kilograms and such batches, well, we know about five. shlensky was detained at the traffic police post when he and a counterfeiter were driving his kruzak. went to chita.

several more arrests followed, this bolod rabdanov, another financier of the group, they took him early in the morning, completely sleepy, hands, bolot vasilyevich, where bolot, someone else in the zone,

several tens of millions of rubles were found in bolot rabdanovo’s house, the man was charged and sent under arrest, finally one victory for the border guards, at the moment of transferring the gold they... took the prospector sergei bogovin and the buyer temerlan pliev red-handed. the latter lived in a distant taiga village, vershina-darasunsky, several
