A decision was made to dismiss Aman Tuleyev. Tuleev brought Kuzbass "to the handle"? Tuleyev thief
The Investigative Committee plans to summon the governor of the Kemerovo region for questioning.
A new and almost sensational turn in the case of the arrests of Kuzbass officials and security forces, connected with the shares of the Inskoy coal mine: the TFR intends to summon the governor of the Kemerovo region Aman Tuleev for questioning. While as a witness.
Here it is worth recalling the sensational story of the end of last year, when a whole bunch of the highest-ranking officials of Kuzbass were arrested, including deputy governors Alexander Danilchenko and Alexei Ivanov and the head of the Directorate investigative committee Russian Federation for the Kemerovo region Sergey Kalinkin. According to investigators, all those arrested organized a whole organized criminal community in order to get 51 percent of the shares of the coal mine Inskoy mine. They, according to law enforcement officers, jointly put pressure on the owners of the enterprise, forcing the latter to give a controlling stake to another well-known businessman in Kuzbass.
However, the owner of the cut recovered straight to the TFR and the FSB. And then officials came under pressure. All of them, including Danilchenko and Ivanov, were sent under house arrest, and the chief investigator of the region, Sergei Kalinkin, was completely sent to where he had sent others before - to jail in a pre-trial detention center. By the way, most recently his arrest was extended for another 2 months.
I must say that Aman Tuleev, while still in power (now he is in a Moscow hospital after spinal surgery), loudly declared that this was a provocation, that his subordinates were not to blame for anything. On this occasion, Aman Gumirovich even called a press conference, which he did extremely rarely. There, he told reporters that the case against his deputies was an attack on himself. Declaring at the same time that they are all crystal clean people who became victims of provocation. The ICR responded to this. In a press release issued, it was officially stated that the actions of the security forces have fairly solid ground.
“When initiating the case, we, with full understanding of all responsibility for the suspicions raised, made statements about the involvement of the defendants in illegal actions, which are based on legally collected materials, including operational-search materials received from the body of inquiry,” the statement says.
The ICR also expressed bewilderment at "loud statements about the alleged absurdity of the accusations, especially from the lips of those who are absolutely not familiar with the materials of the criminal case." And here is such an unexpected continuation. Investigators want to interrogate Governor Tuleev himself. The reason for this desire, as some media write, was the results of the searches that took place in the house of the arrested head of the ICR Kalinkin.
In particular, those who conducted the search found either a notebook or a notebook with notes that officials and businessmen brought money into the house. So, the Vedomosti newspaper publishes a verbatim drink in the found book: "Zimin brought 300,000 on November 14; Vanchin gave 100,000 for a lawyer; 180,000 was withdrawn from the salary card on November 16; 50,000 was given by the governor on November 16; Oleg Evgenievich gave 110,000 on November 17" .
At the same time, Kalinkin's wife said that the money was given for material support. Maybe, but it's hard to believe. So that the family of the TFR general with his (official) salary needs something financially? Here, many spiteful critics (and the governor has enough of them) began to build their versions. Although conspiracy theories, however, they have the right to exist. According to the slanderers, it cannot be ruled out that the offerings to the imprisoned Kalinkin are something like a "kickback". After all, the general does not smile at all to take the rap for others. And he can talk on the prison bunk. Talk about who and what trades in Kuzbass, being in power structures. And he can tell a lot of interesting things! Including, it is possible, and about the first head of the region.
And the whisperers, meanwhile, went even further. Kalinkin allegedly could have been the holders of a kind of mutual aid fund. Or, speaking in the criminal lexicon, "common fund". If this is so (which one categorically does not want to believe in!), Then a reasonable question arises: why is this needed. Well, first of all, everyone always needs money. Even for the sake of intercepting for urgent needs. And they will really come in handy for "supporting the pants" in a case similar to the criminal case of the Inskoy mine. After all, all the defendants are sitting (some at home, and some away from him), do not work for a long time and catastrophically lose their own income.
All this, for sure, will be clarified by the investigation. And the secret of Kalinkin's list will someday be revealed. And it will be very interesting! In this regard, other thoughts arise. Aman Gumirovich Tuleev has long been known as a fiery fighter against corruption in theft. Despite the fact that he himself never gave even a hint to doubt his own honesty.
True, within the walls of the regional administration at one time they whispered about Tuleyev's annual visits to Switzerland. Like, each account holder is obliged to confirm its belonging with a personal signature. This is now in the era of Internet progress, it is possible to make an electronic signature. And when it was still not developed ... I had to personally visit the Alpine banking power. But this is just guesswork. The only guess is that the members of Tuleev's team have been arrested. And he showed up with 50 thousand rubles (it is not known in what currency) in the records in Kalinkin's house.
At the aforementioned press conference, the governor lamented that during the searches in the offices of his deputies, no one even came to him and explained nothing.
The collected tribute was lost in Kemerovo charitable foundations
Public activists from Kemerovo are investigating large-scale fraud to withdraw billions of rubles through charitable foundations associated with the team of ex-governor Aman Tuleyev. Contributions on a voluntary-compulsory basis for many years were made by almost all industrial enterprises in the region. Part of the financial documentation and letters from the regional administration demanding money came into the possession of PASMI.
Enviable Principality of Kuzbass-bashi
Aman Gumirovich Tuleev, one of the most famous political centenarians of Russia, took over the post of governor of the Kemerovo region in 1997 and, perhaps, would still have been in it if it were not for the fire in the Winter Cherry. But even after the tragedy, the 74-year-old official did not want to leave power and took the place of the speaker of the regional parliament. In September 2018, he left this post, but the very fact of castling is a very characteristic detail for Tuleev, who, for his style of tough rule, received the unspoken nickname “Kuzbass-bashi” in Kemerovo.
For 20 years in his post, Aman Tuleev, according to many analysts, has created a real totalitarian system, when every smallest boss is personally appointed by the head of the region and is controlled only by him, and local security forces act as something like a personal "combat private security company" of the head of the administration.
At the same time, one must understand that the region Tuleev got, to put it mildly, not bad. On the territory of the Kemerovo region there is one of the world's largest coal deposits - Kuzbass, where more than 120 coal enterprises are operated.
Over the two decades of Tuleev's leadership, the volume of coal production in the Kuznetsk basin has grown more than two and a half times - from 94 million to 242 million tons. Journalists have repeatedly written that the governor has a personal interest in increasing the pace of production and processing, since he himself controls significant assets in the coal industry.
But be that as it may, questions arise why, with such a developed industry, the region economic development in 2016 was in 42nd place. But the level of income of local charitable foundations could be the envy of the largest federal brothers. That's just about the "soul-saving" activities of Kemerovo social activists, corresponding to the amounts in the accounts of the funds, nothing is known. And, apparently, not by chance.
Unmerciful dues "Mercy"
Legalization of funds through charitable foundations is a long-patented method in the world. The advantages of this method are many. First, the reputation of charitable organizations a priori is not suspicious. Secondly, by launching “dirty” money into the fund, at the exit, when cashing out, the owner receives already “laundered”, clean funds. At the same time, and this is the third positive point, all financial transactions are carried out on preferential terms - without taxes and customs duties. The only negative is a small imitation of social activities.
But in Kemerovo, a fourth plus of the scheme was also discovered: contributions to funds can be turned into obligatory dues if you are a high-ranking government official.
Under Aman Tuleyev, so-called social agreements were in effect in the region, which were forced to sign by almost all industrial enterprises. Both local and federal media wrote a lot about this practice.
Moreover, the former head of the region himself has publicly stated more than once about such a manner of relations with business. True, all this was presented solely as concern for the common people, for the benefit of which the "good governor" took money from "bad oligarchs."
That's just the money that organizations contributed annually under this social program was not credited to the budget, but to the accounts of charitable funds issued to employees of the regional administration or people close to them. The largest fund - "Mercy" - was founded in 2003 and received the unspoken title of the "black cash desk" of Kuzbass-bashi.
Vladimir Putin decided to dismiss the governor of the Kemerovo region Aman Tuleev, according to FlashSiberia. After the tragedy in the Kemerovo shopping center "Winter Cherry", the President of the Russian Federation personally flew to Kemerovo to hold a meeting. Vladimir Putin met with the city administration. As a result of the meeting and consultations, it was decided to dismiss Aman Tuleev. This information is confirmed by several sources of FlashSiberia.
“Putin held a meeting, but did not hold a separate meeting with Tuleev, despite the tradition: when he comes to the regions, he always meets with their leaders,” said one of the interlocutors of the publication.
Another source said that after the meeting, Tuleev "was not himself" and immediately went home. Another source in the regional administration claims that "the head of Kuzbass was informed that the decision (on resignation) has been made, and it will be officially announced in the near future."
The name of the acting is called. head of the Kemerovo region. They, according to insider information, will be Deputy Governor Sergei Tsivilev, who, at a spontaneous rally held in Kemerovo, asked for forgiveness from the audience. This happened after the official allowed himself to make accusations against one of the Kemerovo residents, whose entire family died in a fire in a shopping center. We are talking about Igor Vostrikov. A bereaved man, along with other residents, came to a spontaneous rally on Soviet Square. At some point, Vostrikov broke into the podium from which Tsivilev was speaking, after which the official accused him of wanting to “promote”, but after learning the truth, he asked for forgiveness from the participants in the rally, while kneeling down.
Started Sunday March 25th. It took days to extinguish it. The victims of the fire were 64 people, another 52 people were injured. 25 people have been identified, 13 of them are children.
Under investigation are the general director of the mall Nadezhda Suddenok and three of her subordinates. An employee of the private security company was also detained, who turned off the warning system in the mall.
The investigation is ongoing around the clock, four of the five detainees have already been charged, the fifth defendant will be charged in the near future.
It also became known earlier that by repairing fire alarm Nobody worked in the Zimnyaya Cherry shopping center that burned down in Kemerovo, it has not been working since March 19. The governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleev, during a meeting to eliminate a fire in a shopping center on March 27, accused the opposition of "rocking the situation."
Tuleev has served as governor of the region since 1997.
The need to enforce laws. Low skill level. 53 dead, mostly children under 12. 16 missing. More than 40 wounded. These are two scales, frozen at the same level. These are the preliminary results of the fire that broke out on March 25, 2018 in the Zimnyaya Cherry shopping and entertainment center in Kemerovo. The preliminary cause of the fire is the ignition of foam rubber in the trampoline room. One of the guards recalls that in the play area the animators were setting up candles, getting ready to celebrate someone's birthday... But it is obvious that according to by and large it's not about birthday candles and not about childish pranks. No exit The last scheduled inspection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the "Winter Cherry" was carried out in 2016. The alert system didn't work. The fire broke out on the fourth, last, floor of the mall, but the evacuation passages were closed. The play area and cinema were on fire, but there was no organized evacuation. Doors melted and warped, people were flooded with the flaming plastic that had been upholstered in the walls. Dozens of children and adults were locked in a burning room with no hope of help. They jumped out of the windows, made their way to the roof (there were no fire escapes on the facade of the building). In horror, they called relatives and friends, realizing that the words that they would now utter into the phone were most likely the last ...
All this is not because someone, playing around, set fire to the foam rubber mat. Because someone built a mall and decided to save money on security systems. Someone thought that you can close your eyes to this. Someone decided that regular checks fire safety are not needed - a four-story shopping center suddenly turned out to be a “small business object”.
There was a petting zoo on the third floor of the mall. 200 animals that were in it died.
Firefighters and rescuers who arrived to extinguish the fire reported that the doors of the evacuation exit had to be opened, the doors of the cinema halls for some reason were closed. A day off, a children's session... For example, fifth-graders of school No. 1 from the village of Treshchevsky were brought to it - now almost all of these children are missing. And parents go crazy with grief. Someone will be imprisoned, of course. Someone will be jailed...
Comment below a drone panorama of the apocalypse: “Which idiot designed this building – it has virtually no windows? Where are the fire escapes and emergency exits? All safety standards are violated. Who built and accepted this trap - in prison for 25 years. And then a dialogue develops that almost does not require comments: - Well, this is an old factory! (The Zimnyaya Cherry shopping center is a building of a former confectionery factory converted for commercial needs). - All the old Soviet factories had emergency exits and fire escapes - and the new idiots cut them up and covered all the walls with plastic. - Not even just plastic, but cheap sandwich panels, which have very combustible foam inside. - 3 years in a colony-settlement, actually, for this jamb, learn the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ... - When there was a confectionery factory, there were large windows. Now the questions will be to those bastards who were responsible for fire safety. - And the stairs were packed to death, and even adult men could not open an emergency passage, did the children have a chance to survive in this trap? Whoever accepted this project, let him burn in hellfire! "Inadvertently" The director of the company responsible for the fire safety of the shopping center has already been detained. Detained and the owner of the burned shopping center Hope Suddenok. However, according to some information, she is a purely nominal owner. In fact, according to, for example, the telegram channel Mash, the shopping center is under control Iraida Vishnevskaya(hence the name) and refers to the business structures of a billionaire Denis Shtengelov. The Interfax agency, citing its own sources, reported that Nadezhda Suddenok's company rented the third and fourth floors of the shopping center and subleased them. The owner of the complex, according to the agency, is the Kemerovo Confectionery Plant, which is part of the KDV Group, and it also leases the 1st-4th floors. In OJSC KDV, which is part of the KDV Group (brands Kirieshki, Crisp Potato and Three Korochki), reports that the burned-out shopping center belongs to this organization: OJSC KDV was not the operator of the mall "Winter cherry". We don't care about them at all." Denis Shtengelov himself, who is outside the Russian Federation, responded to questions: “We are working with authorities.” and more persons"; "Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements"). How much will it take Rescuers managed to evacuate from the shopping center about 200 people, those who were on the lower three floors. The fire was assigned the third, most high level difficulties. Already at night open fire on the territory of almost 1.5 thousand square meters managed to overcome, began analysis of the rubble. More than 660 people were involved in extinguishing the fire, and the same number were in a state of readiness. According to the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia Vladimir Puchkov, the search and rescue operation at the site of the fire will continue "for as long as necessary." Alas, given the fact that the roof and interfloor coatings collapsed in the building, there is not much hope of finding survivors there.
The authorities of Kuzbass will allocate 1 million rubles to the families of those killed in the Winter Cherry.
About the authorities, apparently, it is necessary to say separately. Head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov flew to Kemerovo after instructions received from the president. Governor Aman Tuleev When asked by journalists about why he was absent from the operational headquarters and why he did not talk to the relatives of the dead and injured, he considered it possible to answer: “Calm down!”. For a long time, neither journalists nor officials of Aman Gumirovich, who officially headed the operational headquarters, simply. The governor spoke with the President of the country by phone, saying that the region did not need additional assistance: they say, “on each meter there is a specialist, if there are more of them, they will only interfere with each other” The Ministry of Emergency Situations, despite these assurances, nevertheless considered it necessary to send additional forces and equipment to Kemerovo, including the necessary robotics and unmanned aircraft. I have questions to Aman Tuleyev's deputy for health Valery Tsoi, who did not interrupt his rest and appeared on the ashes only in the morning ... “Minister Vladimir Puchkov set the task ... to figure out the organization of construction, acceptance, and operation of the building that housed the shopping center. ...find out the condition of the fire protection systems of the shopping center, assess the actions of the staff at the initial stage at the time of the occurrence of smoke and understand why the children in game room were without parental supervision. give a conclusion why something was burning that theoretically should not burn", in official reports. All this is certainly necessary. And infinitely late. The trouble came precisely because things were put in such a way in the region controlled by Aman Tuleev. By and large (again - by the largest) what happened in Kemerovo should become a point in Aman Tuleev's career. In a war, civilians at least have the opportunity to guess where the blow will come from, but the death of dozens of children while watching a cartoon is simply impossible to explain, understand and forgive. Sometimes you just need to leave on time, without waiting for trouble. Reference
In terms of the number of deaths, the fire in Kemerovo will be among the largest. In 1999, a fire in the Samara police department claimed the lives of 57 people. In 2007, a fire broke out in a nursing home in the village of Kamyshevskaya, Krasnodar Territory, killed 63 people. In 2009, 153 people became victims of a fire in the Lame Horse club in Perm.
Aman Tuleev headed the list " United Russia"in the elections to the local Legislative Assembly in 2013. He could not become a deputy, since he served as the governor of the Kemerovo region. Now, after leaving this post, there are no obstacles - so the ex-head of Kuzbass received the vacant mandate of deputy Wang Wai-Chen, who stepped down from his seat in 2016.
ON THIS TOPIC
However, Kemerovo residents may not react to Tuleev's deputyship - but the possible appointment of the ex-governor as the speaker of the regional parliament guarantees a negative mood among the population. According to the head of the Political Expert Group, Konstantin Kalachev, the current chairman of the regional council, Alexei Spitsyn, is likely to give up his post to Tuleyev. And then the former head of Kuzbass will remain the center of power in the region - and the current acting Sergey Tsivilev will have to take this into account, the political scientist believes.
According to the expert, both Tuleev's departure from the post of governor and his new position are a political improvisation of the politician himself. He determined the date of his resignation himself, and the center had to accept it. The political scientist is sure that everyone would be calmer if the head of the region retired.
Aman Tuleyev submitted his resignation on April 1, a week after the fire in the Winter Cherry. On March 25, 64 people died in a fire, more than 40 of them were children. The resignation was accepted in the center, and Sergey Tsivilev, appointed as Tuleev's deputy, became the acting head of the region a little more than a month ago.
According to experts, even if Tuleev becomes speaker, he will not compete for power with Tsivilev. According to political analysts, they have different agendas: the ex-governor watches how the investigating authorities clean up the personnel he has put in place, while Tsivilev is concerned about the upcoming gubernatorial elections.
At the same time, if the federal center does not like Tuleyev's combination, then he is unlikely to become a speaker - United Russia will not vote for him. Moreover, if he is elected, experts predict a guaranteed surge of negativity, writes
