The loudest case in 2018 was the investigation of a channel for the supply of cocaine from Argentina to Russia through the diplomatic line. Bought in Latin America hundreds of kilograms of drugs, stored in the building of the Russian embassy, then spetsbortami, under the guise of personal belongings of embassy staff, was sent to Moscow. In 2016 in a well-established system there was a "failure". The embassy's chief of staff, Ali Abyanov, who was responsible for the storage and transportation of the cargo, was unexpectedly recalled to Moscow. A new manager with the "security" of the embassy found "legacy" of Abyanov-12 suitcases, slaughtered with cocaine. What would normally be done by representatives of special services, who were immediately informed of the state of emergency? They would simply have washed the entire cargo in the toilet and only a small group of people remained aware of what had happened. However, in this situation, the FSB of the Russian Federation decided to give a course to the materials and even to connect the Argentine colleagues to the operation. Why did this happen? This is due to the identity of the organizer of the channel Andrei Kovalchuk - a man for whom the Russian embassies around the world were opened. Who he really is and why such a "fuss" broke out around him, rutelegraf.com will tell you after the publication of all the parts of the investigation.
At the disposal of rutelegraf.com were materials of the "cocaine case", which we begin to publish in small "portions". Outside the case, there remained correspondence between the Foreign Ministry and the FSB of the Russian Federation about how the situation evolved at the very beginning, after the discovery of 12 suitcases with white powder. In the investigation volumes on the beginning of the report on the detection of signs of a crime, which on November 13, 2017 employee of the "K" Directorate of the Federal Security Service sent to his head - the head of the "K" Directorate of the Security Service of the Security Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, Ivan Tkachev, the latter had previously conducted operations to detain Minister Alexei Ulyukayev , the head of GUEBC and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Denis Sugrobov, the governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh.
In this report, the counterintelligence officer writes that on December 8, when examining the items found in the school, 12 cases with cocaine were found at the embassy, which was handed over to the Argentine gendarmerie on December 14. An employee of the FSB RF requests permission to transfer materials to the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation to initiate a case. Tkachev made an approving resolution on the report.
And on November 15, the SD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation initiated a case on the materials of the FSB of the Russian Federation (rutelegraf.com publishes the corresponding resolution).
