who else is in the house? who's in the house? rabdanov, hands, hands behind your back, here he is. surname, first name report, date of birth. well, great, do you know why you were detained? well, shall we tell you now? several tens of millions of rubles were found in the house of bolot rabdanov, the man was charged, and he was sent under arrest, finally... another victory for the border guards. at

the time of the transfer of gold, they took the prospector sergei bogovin and the redeemer temerlan pliev. the latter lived in a remote taiga village, vershina darasunsky, several hundred kilometers from chita. and that's how it is was. what's here? what 's here? there's iron there, anyone? what kind of iron? iron, probably, which. once clamped, exactly the same, open what is there , please show me, timer ilanpliev reluctantly opens the packages with iron, there are sparkling gold bars, metal, golden-colored metal, the origin of this metal, can you explain where you got it from, i ca n’t , well, how did he, how did he end up here, did you get it yourself, where did you get it, where? right here right now

next to pliev is sergei bogovin, this man, as the security forces of aster found out at a large site mine in yakutia, where gold was mined, these items are yours, where to get them, how did i get them, we got glue kriza, where, and the city i think for the delivery of further collectors, i have everything indicated in two papers, bogovin is disingenuous, no no matter what kind of change we are talking about, he brought gold to the buyer, his old acquaintance. as a result of the measures taken to arrive in bogovina in the trans-baikal territory, sikuti in a vehicle was detained by border control officers with force support - the ministry of internal affairs of russia, amon. at the goddess had a bag containing about 22 kg of gold.

which was packed, well, in a collection bear with seals with cover documents, the so-called, if you have already spent all your energy on training, don’t spend too much, order from a scooter in a selection of a profitable shelf, free delivery, a scooter without unnecessary waste helps with a runny nose at an affordable price price, and extra rinnost is active from 25 seconds, each has its own rinnost.

the last one to fall into the hands of the operatives was stanislav khandaev, the train driver. according to investigators, he was transporting precious metal abroad in one of the carriages of its train. is there anyone in the house? yes. khandaev stanislav keeps taking deadlines, the list of participants in the criminal community of various hierarchies can seem endless, it is already clear, they were all united by one criminal passion for illegal profit from russian wealth. during the preliminary investigation , it was established that more than thirty people were involved in this crime, which included... citizens of the russian

federation and citizens of foreign countries. illegal mining of the precious metal was carried out both in the territory of the trans-baikal and krasnoyarsk territories, the republic of khakassia and the irkutsk region, the republic of buryatia, and the jewish autonomous region. participants of the golden opss are different people with different social status and income. some admitted to committing a criminal offense, others did not, and some completely believed that they had not broken the law. we met with some of the defendants in the criminal case. sergei bogovin, goldsmith from yakutia. no arrest during investigation steel, he confessed and is awaiting sentencing. in a conversation with us, he complained about the difficulties of working at the mine. is it possible somehow for the men who work there, the fuel that you deliver there, food for people and well, the aortization

of the equipment itself, a lot of spare parts fly away at all these times, you need to pay money somehow, well, they’re not from your pocket , it’s not bottomless, so... people start looking for some kind of loopholes to hand over this metal, this is how bliev appeared, like this, who is this, who is pliev? well pliev - this is an ordinary person who was engaged in buying gold, for me this is what he is, he brought him gold, gave him gold, he gave me money, that’s all, sergey, well, approximately how much gold did you bring him, because we know that there are more than 2 22 kg of materials in the case, that’s true, well, yes, that ’s what happened, they also confiscated such a batch of gold from me. sergei bogovin is an optimist, he is sure that later after the verdict, in his new life, he will deal with gold, of course,

it is clear that he should be abandoned, metal needs to be to mine, if this is your calling, then you can use it, then you will get caught again, why will i get caught, won’t i get caught , i will work legally, that’s it, i will do such things again, i will not carry out illegal activities and illegal mining, and this is the buyer timerlan pliev is trying to justify himself as best he can, i understand correctly that, based on the case materials, you admitted your guilt and cooperated with the investigation, well , in order to get some kind of minimum term or conditions, not in order to get a minimum term, but because really realized, how many years? you ’ve been doing this, i’ve been doing this for three years, why? well, you lived in this vershina dorosovsky, as they call it, vershina, versheslovsky, there is no more work, somewhere you needed something, so you had to eat, it turned out this way, not

on purpose, not purposefully, if you believe pliev, it turns out that the illegal gold business brought him mere pennies. earlier in soviet times you would have been called a speculator, a speculator, yes, but now a businessman, now a businessman, yes, a golden businessman, why golden, but did you know that an individual us, you just, as a citizen, don’t have the right to engage in buying and selling gold, of course, well, i’m saying, i realized that we’ve earned a lot, yes, now i’ll probably earn 10 years, in money, in money, pennies, i’m right. if he tells the truth, it turns out that from only one visit of sergei bogovin, he earned more than 6,000 rubles.

let us remind you that bogovin brought 22 kg of gold bars, such pennies. another member of the criminal community, a courier. gold has nothing to do with loans, i got loans, that’s why i worked, i could work at any job, how long did you work like this, about a month and a half, you just got caught so quickly. they just carried it in the glove compartment or something, or they hid everything, but no, but they didn’t really hide it under the seat, yes , how much they carried, usually, what batches there were, but they were different depending on the weight, well, believe me, there’s 10 kg, well within ten,

yes, they carried up to 10 kg of gold, chernyak shows us his car, demonstrates where he hid the gold and turns to people like him, courier, who, at their own peril and risk, continue to transport precious bullion, like light earn money, but how easy it is, it’s not so easy, it looks easy, you don’t have to sleep at night, you’re driving, you’re afraid, we’re going to zabaikalsk, the linear department of the russian ministry of internal affairs for transport, material evidence in a criminal case is stored here, tens of kilograms of gold bars and tens of millions during the search operations, more than 90 million rubles were seized, let’s get them, show them this gold

bloody money, here they are, yes , indeed, 90 million rubles, and gold, gold, more than 50 kg of gold, well, here’s a bag here, wow the package of weights is probably more than 20 kg, yes, yes, there are more than 20 km in this package. let's try to get, oh, these are the tiles, gold - these are clearly home-made and home-made ingots, they were clearly made at some mine, there's even one behind the author's hologram, someone got to the point, so we see who owns the data ingots, heavy, each one a kilogram and a half. let's go to the next room, here is that same golden

jack, it's not an easy thing, when gold was there it was even heavier, show me what's inside, well, outwardly it's an ordinary jack for truck, right? yes, the appearance is ordinary, but one of the members of the criminal community, here he was hiding gold, so it closes, all this is in oil, plus packaging, all this was found in his car, during his arrest on the way to the village of zabaikalsk, zabaikalsk, yes, that is, you will never think that this is gold, that this is a gold domcraft, one of the methods of concealment, it is difficult to say how much gold in homemade traces is seized by employees of law enforcement agencies in transbaikalia, detentions occur almost every day, we

we are moving to the expert department of the fsb of russia in the trans-baikal territory. these traces were flawed at the border. and they tried to take them out in a diesel locomotive, they hid them, but... but your employees still found them, right? they brought them to our laboratory, and where we examined them, did you really understand that it was gold, what grade? and here the sample is above 80% , that is, samples, of course they are all different, because they apparently have a different source of origin, they are here in all sorts of different forms, that is, they are most likely made different people, i just look at their appearance, well, there will definitely be five kilograms here? no, here of course there is much more gold, here 36 kg. 36 kg, listen, what if

we translate this into money in rubles? well, at that time it was about a quarter of a billion rubles, that is, it was 2,500 million rubles. the ingots are all different, but apparently, the miners have their own specific taiga standard, most of them are pre-angular in shape, and in appearance they resemble a chocolate bar, only yellow. listen, here's a small ingot gold, how much does it weigh, i think it’s 700-800 grams, yes, that’s right, it weighs somewhere like that, well, look, i was mistaken, but not that much, 873 g. yes, indeed, there is something to risk

smugglers, please, we are going to the south of the region, to the village of zabaikalsk, to see how law enforcement officers identify smugglers, from here it’s a stone’s throw to neighboring mancheria, in good weather, it can be seen with the naked eye, the international checkpoint zabaikalsk, the largest in the country , for example the railway checkpoint is currently open daily, 80 cars per day, currently we have more than 400, the record is 739 transport services in both directions, the checkpoint operates around the clock, like clockwork. loads are transported in both directions on multi-ton

trucks. gold is also confiscated by customs officers and border guards. everything is fine here, there is no smuggling, you are not a smuggler , of course not, that these are just friends, a gift, friends, well, tell me how you like russia, you like russia, oh, i love you too tourists from time to time also try to spend gold, in trunks with personal belongings or even on themselves. customs officers recalled an episode when a tourist hid gold bars in the insoles of his shoes, they noticed him because of his unnatural gait, asked him to take off his shoes, searched him, and that’s

what they found? four, four rectangular ingots, do you see the witnesses? now the second insole, eight gold bars with a total weight of almost 2 kg were hidden in the insoles, but these, as customs officers say, are trifles, they are trying to hide the main contraband in heavy vehicles. in december of the twenty -second year from russia, a car was traveling from russia, smuggled gold was discovered in the cargo vehicle. the total weight was more than 261 kg, these are kusar ingots that were transported by drivers, and which were hidden in a vehicle cache of a means of international transportation; based on the results of the discovery, a criminal case of smuggling was opened under article 20 226 of the criminal code of the russian federation. until recently, it was much

easier for smugglers to transfer goods across the border. an illegal product, it just had to be hidden well. try not to let the service dog smell him. today , an inspection and search complex has been deployed at the checkpoint; it is a kind of giant x-ray machine. we were allowed to look inside and see how the process of detecting illegal cargo occurs. this kind of x-ray allows you to identify the place where, for example, gold is transported. this complex is designed for this purpose, to detect foreign investments, say, gold is metal with a very high density, on an x-ray image it will be distinguished by uncharacteristic darkening and a high degree of radiation absorption, did your employees once discover gold here? we had a discovery at the end of last year, that is, signs of possible

movement of gold in the cooling system of the refrigerator were identified, according to the results of the actual control that was carried out after, it was discovered, as far as i remember, 26 kg of gold, but if customs representatives answer for more parts for transported goods, then border guards for the people. there are two directions at this checkpoint, this is the passenger direction and the cargo direction, on average , more villages pass through the passenger direction, more than 500 freight vehicles pass through the cargo direction, and we move to the railway checkpoint, this has its own specifics the work has its own difficulties, but how to check, for example, a train

with charcoal, in which there are at least 70 cars, and here the testing inspection complex comes to the rescue, well, if there are cars with scrap metal, then gold can only be found based on operational information, which is what happened last year. during an inspection of an overseas shipment , a package was found in a wheeled cart in a service hole. with yellow metal, as it turned out to be gold, which they tried to illegally move across the state border, how much gold was there, more than 6 kg, in the second case also more than 6 kg in the support beam in the technology... the hole, where it is difficult to see, was discovered by the composition inspection group, also gold over 6 kg, o the presence of contraband in one of

the carriages of the train, as a rule, only the drivers know; by the way, this happened in one episode of the criminal activity of the organized crime group maila ragimkhanov. this story is connected with the driver stanislav khandaev. khandaev stanislav is one of the examples of railway workers who directly exported. gold was smuggled outside the russian federation, well , functionally he was part of rogimkhanov’s subgroup , he receives, well, on average about 10 kg were exported per flight, at least, well, accordingly, that’s 8,000 rubles. we found stanislav right on railway tracks. he was not arrested during the investigation. he continues to work. “i don’t know anything, i’m not involved in anything, how did you get into such

an incomprehensible, uninteresting, ugly situation, well, i don’t know, nothing, i didn’t end up anywhere, i didn’t end up, no, but a criminal case was opened in i also don’t know your attitude, you don’t know anything, that is, i don’t know anything, i haven’t seen anything, no, okay, but you were involved in gold, no , of course, you didn’t transport gold, no, once again, you consider yourself completely innocent and..." there are four more drivers like stanislav khandaev in the criminal case; they have something to hide, because the illegal earnings of railway workers amounted to hundreds of thousands of rubles for just one trip. investigation into the case of an organized criminal community according to the security forces, no one will escape responsibility. 16 members of the criminal community were detained and taken into custody.

preventive measures were taken against twelve defendants in the form of a subscription to not leave in accordance with proper behavior. one suspect is under house arrest. according to preliminary according to estimates, the total volume of precious metal acquired through criminal means exceeded 94 kgm. its cost is estimated at 370 million rubles. 42 kg of gold worth about 200 million rubles were taken out of our country by criminals. 52 kg were seized by the police. according to available information, the leader of the criminal community invited three foreigners to participate in the criminal business. they organized uninterrupted supplies to the trans-baikal region. native gold from the republics of buryatia, teva and yakutia, krasnoyarsk territory, irkutsk, amur regions and the jewish autonomous region.

subsequently, the precious metal was melted into gold bars, which were subsequently exported abroad. the story of exposing the largest international criminal community seems to have come to an end. most of the members of the obs have been arrested and will appear in court, but this is not necessary. forget about the legacy they leave to the trans-baikal region. gold miners did not stand on ceremony with nature. their earnings amount to millions, and the maximum fine they can be given is 300,000 rubles. the mining methods are very different, the deposits are very diverse, ore objects, whole factories are being built, whole production. treatment, it is easier, of course, and faster for all loose gold, they come, remove the top layer, get to the gold, yes, and

literally wash it in the warm summer seasons, when there is no water, and in fact they get the gold itself, now the gold fund of the deposit and there are more than 460 gold deposits in the region, of which about 270 have not yet been provided for use . to see the cosmic landscapes that are left behind by unborn subsoil users, you need to move 200 kilometers away from the brush and turn into the taiga. there, among the centuries-old trees, next to the beds of small rivers, you will definitely come across territories that have been devastated for many kilometers, where gold mining once stood... artels, here they are.

such regional locals call it a taiga desert. of course, over time , nature will take its toll, these lifeless spaces will again be covered with dense forest, but this will not happen soon.

this is the story we saw of the liquidation of gold organized criminal community. this was our investigation from the trans-baikal territory, only you can draw conclusions, see you on the russia 24

tv channel. ratings, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, there is a clear and clear signal in russia , at what point will you say, i did everything in this project, everything i could, i will never say whether russian industry is capable of replacing foreign suppliers, it is necessary to mobilize all resources, give me the recipe, in general, this is how to achieve what you have achieved, do you think that you are on top of the world, you shook yourself off and went, is russia ready to change, is evolution taking place in any structure?

art still knows no boundaries, despite the prohibitions of the sanctions. vladimir putin announced this the day before in st. petersburg at a large-scale international forum, which this year was called the forum of united cultures. among the participants are more than seventy countries and 56 official delegations. the main topic was history and modernity in artistic culture. the conversation with the president touched on a variety of issues, including those related to the conflict in ukraine. so the head of state was asked what to do with a window to europe because of the tension between russia and the countries of the european union.
