The federal security service, with the assistance of the police, exposed a former intelligence official who, together with a private detective, illegally collected information about a number of senior Russian officials. "The Federal Security Service, together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Moscow, suppressed the activities of a former security officer Alexei Smirnov and private detective Alexey Mikhailenko, who were engaged in illegal collection - wiretapping, surveillance, etc. - as well as disseminating information about the private lives of a number of individuals, holding high government posts, ”the FSB Center for Public Relations told Interfax.

Criminal proceedings were instituted against Smirnov and Mikhailenko under Articles 137 (violation of privacy) and 138 (violation of privacy of correspondence and telephone conversations) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. As part of the investigation, suspects underwent searches.

Law enforcement officers also visited the premises of the private security company "Belgan", which, according to reports, provided active assistance in collecting information. "During a search of the private security company" Belgan ", illegally stored ammunition for small arms was discovered and seized. Further investigative actions are currently underway," the FSB report said.

According to the NTV television channel, during the investigative measures, special equipment was seized that was intended, apparently, to ensure wiretapping of telephone conversations, as well as a large amount of money in the currency of various countries.

Head of business disowned "Belgan"

According to information provided on the PSC website, it was created in 1997 on the basis of the security service of an authorized Panasonic dealer. The founders of the organization created the Association of Security Companies "Belgan", which includes the private security company "Belgan", private security company "Start" and private security company "Greenval".

Private security company "Belgan" consists mainly of former FSB officers and units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Private security company is involved in the protection of offices, escort of goods throughout Russia, as well as the protection of VIPs - in particular, relatives of heads of state, major businessmen and public figures. "The security system has been debugged ... of representatives of the government of Vietnam, relatives and children of the presidents of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Ukraine (Yanukovych V.F.), major businessmen and public figures," the site says.

One of his clients turned out to be the Rublevo-Uspensky Medical and Health Complex under the Presidential Administration. At the request of RIA Novosti to comment on this information, the spokesman for the Administrative Department, Viktor Khrekov, said only that "the FSO is guarding the central office."

Among other PSC clients, a number of companies, industrial enterprises, entertainment and educational institutions, banks, residential complexes and holiday villages are indicated. In addition, Belgan is licensed to conduct private detective activities through private detectives in Moscow, the Moscow Region and other regions.

Excerpts from the recent history of wiretapping

The most high-profile cases of revealing the facts of wiretaps of officials in Moscow were noted in the late 1990s, ITAR-TASS. In 1999, the Prosecutor General's Office opened a criminal case on the facts of collecting information about officials and entrepreneurs, in connection with this story, the Atoll security company was mentioned. In the same year, a criminal case was instituted on the illegal collection of incriminating evidence with wiretapping of private and official phones, on which Yuri Stenin, head of the Sokol UNS private security company, was charged.

Recently, not high-ranking officials and influential businessmen have complained about wiretapping more often, but other candidates for power - functionaries from the opposition. Thus, the publication of telephone conversations of Boris Nemtsov in the media, during which he spoke very unflatteringly about his comrades in struggle, ended with a scandal.

A private conversation between the State Duma deputy from Fair Russia Gennady Gudkov and the co-chairman of the unregistered Parnas party Vladimir Ryzhkov has also become a public property. True, in this case, the opposition was eavesdropped using a video camera. Gudkov’s telephone surveillance was established, he said, a little later, in the spring, when there was a scandal surrounding his family-controlled private security companies. “Today I am like a driven fox or wolf: outdoor advertising works for me, wiretapping,” Gudkov said.

Even the US ambassador to Moscow, Michael McFaul, complained about wiretapping. The diplomat, however, turned out to be tactful enough not to accuse the Russian special services of illegal actions, therefore he transferred all the power of anger to NTV.

The opposition, however, does not remain in debt. So, in the spring the recordings of Vasily’s telephone conversations, according to some sources, the former head of Rosmolodezh Vasily Yakemenko, were made available to the media. It was alleged that the official personally ordered elite prostitutes for dignitaries through well-known narrow circles in the capital's pimps.

Recently there has been a scandal surrounding wiretapping on "domestic" soil. Former secretary of the ex-head of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Alexander Reimer, has now accused him of sexual harassment and organizing illegal wiretapping of her phones.

Sorry for the guys, but climbed too high. I hope there will be more detailed information for the conference.

 

[Матушкин Андрей Николаевич]

Oleg, probably not too high, and not there.

 

[Роберт]

Yes, probably, they also "lit up" both in profile and in full face. If you climb somewhere, then you really need to think about how to get out of it later. Holy rule.

 

[Патрушев Михаил Владимирович]

Oleg, probably not too high, and not there.

It was first necessary to enlist the support of the FSB: D, and then collect information! Apparently, he didn’t share something with them and now ... the result!
