How the Moscow police garrison was sent to Andrei Kostin
Vadim Belyaev, the former head of FC Otkritie, was detained in the United States. They detained him using his new documents — Vadim Volfson. But the funniest thing is the reason for the detention. He helped launder money for Andrei Kostin (who heads VTB), and also looked after the property. Quite by chance, he found a house in Aspen (a ski resort in Colorado).
“If anyone was expecting justice, that the fugitive bankster would be chased and he would return the trillions that were spent on saving Otkritie Bank, then you can breathe out. When you are looking after the house of a top banker and close to Putin, they will apparently only look for you in Moscow, in the Investigative Committee building on Tekhnichesky Lane, in case you look there,” the VChK-OGPU telegram channel ironically says.
The detention of Vadim Belyaev (ex-head of Otkritie Bank) for helping Andrei Kostin (head of VTB) in circumventing US sanctions is a more than long-running story. In the flow of news, few people noticed that Kostin was also detained in absentia. Thus, he will be put on the international wanted list through Interpol. Kostin is not Putin, he will not be able to fly with 4 escort fighters, thus, most likely he will become restricted from traveling.
It seems the United States has found the key (not to Kostin’s house) to a way to take away the seized property of Russian oligarchs, officials and the powerful of all Russia. Now they will be accused of money laundering and evading sanctions, namely maintaining their property. For this they will be sentenced to long terms and their property will be confiscated in favor of the state.
As for Kostin and his VTB, being completely cut off from Western funds, they are looking for funds within the Russian Federation. Corruption is at work. Compromat will tell you about one such story.
Each of us has had to deal with annoying bank employees who, when visiting such institutions, offer to issue unnecessary cards, loans and other services.
However, have you seen the annoying general who forces you to apply for a bank card? No, but we will tell you about it.
