What is known about the trio of punchers who got the bills of the FSB officers? Detective agency, 350 thousand rubles a month and a fake signature of the head of the threat department in the Central Administrative District.

The Lex Grand detective agency of Katkov, Zelentsov and Zaitsev worked for about a year. The case was started by Katkov and Zelentsov, and later Zaitsev joined them - the man worked as a fitness trainer and lost his job during the pandemic, so he decided to change his field of activity. According to the defendants, work at Lex Grand earned them an average of 300-350 thousand rubles a month. The punchers spent some of their income on working tools.

The accused bought the seals of the Moscow courts for 15 thousand rubles. The fake police ID cost more - 50 thousand. Interestingly, some of the forged requests from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which Zaitsev used, were signed by the head of the criminal investigation department, Zineev.

"May be recognized as a dangerous relapse": what threatens the accused of transferring information about FSB officers to Navalny​

December 1, 2021, 13:42

As RT found out, private detective Alexander Zelentsov, who, along with two colleagues, was arrested on suspicion of transferring information about FSB officers to Navalny, had already been convicted of large-scale fraud. Information about this criminal case is published on the website of the Moscow City Court. Earlier it became known that Zelentsov was also serving a sentence for forging documents and wiretapping phone calls. All this will be taken into account during the proceedings of the current case, which is pending at the Central District Court of Tula, the lawyers say. Zelentsov could face up to eight years in prison without the right to parole.

• RIA News

As it became known to RT, the co-founder of the private detective agency Lex Grand, Alexander Zelentsov, who, according to the investigation, provided Alexei Navalny with confidential information about telephone conversations of law enforcement officers, had previously been convicted.

In May 2015, the Lefortovo District Court of Moscow condemned Zelentsov for a period of two years nine months under Part 3 of Art. 159 (“Fraud committed by a person using his official position”), part 3 of Art. 30 ("Attempted Crime") and Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code ("Fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale or resulted in the deprivation of a citizen's right to housing").
Together with him, his colleague Pavel Pisarev was convicted.

“Each of them ... acting for the purpose of personal illegal enrichment, under the guise of carrying out operational support in a criminal case, took possession of the money (of the victim. - RT ) ", - follows from the verdict.
ALSO ON RUSSIAN.RT.COM
For Zelentsov, this case ended with an extract a year later on parole. Like Pisarev, he fully admitted his guilt. The victim, whose name is not called, has no more complaints against the convicted person. According to him, even before the court considered the criminal case, Zelentsov's wife fully compensated the victim for material damage.
“(The victim. - RT ) believes that Zelentsov repented of what he had done and the harm caused to him as a result of his criminal actions was smoothed out in full, ”the appeal says.

Dark past​

Formerly RT reported that in June 2021 Zelentsov was sentenced to one year and four months under Part 1 of Art. 138 ("Violation of the secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraphic or other messages") and under Part 4 of Art. 327 of the Criminal Code ("Forgery, production or circulation of forged documents, state awards, stamps, seals or letterheads").
The investigation established that in August 2020, a person whose data the court does not disclose, turned to Zelentsov with a request to get another person's phone billing. For this he was paid 31 thousand rubles.
“At Zelentsov A.S. after receiving a request on behalf of illegally obtaining information about incoming and outgoing signals by subscriber number *** for the period from February to August 11, 2020, a criminal intent arose to violate the secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations and other messages, "follows from the criminal case.
Zelentsov also illegally acquired a police major's certificate in order to later impersonate a law enforcement officer in a cellular phone salon and request the necessary billing.
During the trial, Zelentsov fully admitted his guilt. One of the circumstances mitigating the sentence was that he had two young children, in whose upbringing and maintenance he took an active part.

Relapse with Navalny​

Now Zelentsov is being accused in a similar case - on the fact of the illegal transfer of the phone bills of FSB officers to disgraced opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

At the moment, the case is pending in the Central District Court of Tula, and the defendants are under house arrest, with the exception of Zelentsov, who was transferred from Yekaterinburg to the Tula SIZO.
According to Vadim Kudikov, lawyer of the Human and Law legal center, when imposing a sentence, the court may, in whole or in part, add Zelentsov's unserved sentence for fraud to the new term.

“Tentatively, the court can appoint him from six to eight years in prison. Relapse is an aggravating circumstance, the court will also take this into account. Moreover, in his case, it may be recognized as a dangerous relapse. Now he will not be able to leave on parole, ”Kudikov said.

The lawyer added that the presence of two minor children, which served as a mitigating circumstance last time, will no longer matter for the court.

Darknet without "moles in uniform". How the security forces cleaned the plum market after the poisoning of Navalny​

In 2021, Russia began to actively clean up the domestic segment of the Darknet. In the Telegram messenger, they began to block bots for breaking through data, and the corrupt police officers involved in the leaks - "moles" - came under criminal prosecution. Sources of the Daily Storm claim that pressure on the Darknet market intensified after the release of an investigation into the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny with chemical weapons.

According to the newspaper, in May 2021, Russian security forces detained a large arms dealer hiding under the pseudonym Liberty-guns (Liberty). His profile has ceased to be active on the darknet forums.

In September, information appeared in the media about the arrest of another shadow businessman, Sergei Magdanov. According to the investigation, it was he, under the nickname Kopbito (Koryto), who created an Internet platform for killers.
Channel "Ren-TV" noted that a truly unique special operation was carried out to arrest the criminal, because it is usually extremely difficult to catch the creators of the "killer exchanges".
Anonymous veteran and shadow R forum dealer * told reporters that Liberty and Koryto were far from the only ones who were caught by the security forces in 2021. According to him, before that, the Russian-speaking Darkent had not been so closely studied - and people from the shadow forums disappeared much less often.

Plum control​

In particular, the security forces are trying to actively clean up the black market for data breach. As a large puncher with the nickname Colombo told the publication, the pressure increased on all his colleagues.
“This is manifested in the detention of colleagues, in the increased attention of the media and bloggers to us, the number of employees (law enforcement agencies) on the forums,” he explained.
According to Colombo, it is impossible to track exactly how many shadow service providers fell into the hands of law enforcement in 2021. But market participants noticed an increase in the activity of the security officials themselves on the forums where they trade in data. They create many bots that automatically follow links and view profiles, a shadow businessman told the publication, who wished not to reveal his nickname. Also, the security forces create and "upgrade" accounts for test purchases.

According to the Daily Storm, the system for "indexing the Darknet" with the help of bots could be developed by the firm "M13", owned by Vladislav Klyushin, who was arrested in Switzerland. At the same time, the main development of the company is the Katyusha media space monitoring system, which allows real-time monitoring of the reactions of the media and social networks to the statements of politicians.

Having broken through, the price has risen​

A Daily Storm interlocutor from law enforcement suggested that excessive pressure from the security forces on the Darknet could lead to the fact that 10% of shadow businessmen and their employees are imprisoned, and 40% will leave the market.
“There will be a temporary shortage on the market. Then the remaining 50% will completely go to the crypto (cryptocurrency) and raise prices. Thus, the market will become encrypted, secure and highly profitable, ”he concluded.


The fact that the Darknet is switching to cryptocurrency was also announced by the dealer of the R **** forum. According to him, now traditional QIWI wallets are used mainly by punchers and those who provide gray services. However, such wallets are now used much less than in 2020, and operations within large forums are already all in the crypt, he added.
Breakthrough prices are already breaking records, according to a study by the DLBI data breach intelligence and monitoring service. According to the company, information on accounts and transactions of citizens has quadrupled since 2020. The cost of penetrating subscribers of cellular operators has jumped over this period by 60%.
A sharp rise in prices occurred in the banking sector, said the founder of DBLI Ashot Hovhannisyan. However, the prices of penetration through state bases, to which only the security forces have access, have not changed. State piercing is still relatively cheap. This is explained by the fact that the system of electronic recording of information about the actions of employees who can work with bases does not work well in law enforcement agencies. Sometimes it is difficult to understand which particular employee pushed through the information.
“That is, 30 people can use one account. These employees, in theory, write themselves in the journal. Sometimes they score and don't write it down. And most often they write as they have to, from memory, before some upcoming check, "- explained a source of the publication from among the security forces.

Closing bots​

In 2021, the massive removal of Telegram bots to break through people began. The administration of the messenger removed such services. Before that, bots worked quietly for several years.
In March, Telegram, at the request of Roskomnadzor, removed several large bots for penetration at once, including Eye of God and SmartSearchBot. The oldest bot AVInfo was later blocked.
At the same time, the security officials themselves regularly use Telegram bots, the newspaper noted. Sometimes it is easier for them to pay for a bot than to go through all the bureaucratic procedures and get access to official databases.

Hunting for "moles"​

The increased pressure on the Russian segment of the Darknet and on the penetration market, in particular, shadow businessmen interviewed by the Daily Storm, are linked by an investigation into the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny, which came out at the end of 2020. The authors claimed that they used the services of punchers working in Russia to obtain confidential information. For example, the investigators ordered billing and information about flights of alleged FSB officers from the "punched".


After the publication of the material, the corrupt police officers and punchers who helped Navalny's team were prosecuted. At the same time, it is unlikely that the "moles" knew exactly to whom and for what they were selling information, noted the Daily Storm.
On December 29, 2020, two weeks after the release of the investigation, the first suspect was found in the plum. Excited a criminal case of abuse of power against an employee of the Samara head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Kirill Chuprov. According to the Investigative Committee, he sold information from the "Search-Magistral" system about the flights of the alleged FSB officers. A few months later, the heads of the Samara OMVD received a warning about incomplete official compliance, reported Telegram channel Baza.
In March 2021 in St. Petersburg, a defendant in a criminal case became , presumably a police major Roman Gladyshev ... According to the investigation, in the "Search-Magistral" system, Gladyshev allegedly found and passed on to some "unidentified person" information about the flight that Navalny flew from Tomsk to Moscow on August 20. During this flight, the activist felt bad, the plane had to land at the Omsk airport.

In November, in Moscow detained three "punchers" who forged police certificates and orders of the Khamovnichesky court and with the help of these documents obtained billing of alleged FSB officers who flew on the ill-fated flight. The detainees were three private detectives - Pyotr Katkov, Alexander Zelentsov and Igor Zaitsev.

About the "poisoning" of Navalny​

On August 20, Alexei Navalny fell ill on board a plane flying from Tomsk to Moscow. The liner was put in Omsk, where the man was admitted to a local hospital. There he was put into an artificial coma. Doctors in Omsk ruled out the possibility of Navalny's poisoning and said that metabolic problems could be the reason for the deterioration in health.


Later, Navalny was transported to the Berlin blade "Charite". The German authorities said they found traces of a combat poison from the Novichok group in his body. Later, a number of media outlets published a joint investigation in which they announced the possible involvement of FSB officers in the alleged poisoning of Navalny. The material stated that the security forces visited the cities where Alexey came.
FSB Public Relations Center named this is an investigation by "a planned provocation aimed at discrediting the FSB and its employees."
Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on publications about the alleged poisoning of Navalny, stated that the "Berlin patient" is not needed by anyone to poison him. The head of state called the presented materials not an investigation, but "the legalization of the work of the American special services." He added that this means that Navalny enjoys the support of the US intelligence services.
“And if this is correct, then it’s interesting, then the special services, of course, should look after him. But this does not mean at all that it is necessary to poison him, who needs him? " - said Putin.
