Dossier
In 2007, Glukhov tried to open a criminal case against Pavel Astakhov, a famous writer and lawyer. Glukhov accused the author of a novel called Raider of tarnishing the reputation of Russian Ministry of Interior. In the novel, Astakhov spoke about “rogue cops from the Main Investigative Directorate” who were involved in corporate wars, and “ready to begin criminal prosecution, carry out searches and destroy the defense of a victim-company” for a certain sum of money. However, the prosecutors found out that there was no corpus delicti in Raider, and a criminal case was not opened.

In 2011, Chief Directorate for Investigations under the Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against senior officials in the Moscow police accused of accepting bribe for dropping a major case of embezzlement of public funds aimed at procuring CAT scanners. The investigators believed that Denis Glukhov, son of the chief of the Main Directorate for Investigations of the Moscow police, Ivan Glukhov, was business partner and close friend of Maxim Kagansky, suspect in CAT scanners case. Ivan Glukhov was in power to carry out investigation into Kagansky’s fraud and allegedly accepted bribe for dropping the proceedings. However, the Investigative Committee did not find sufficient evidence to prove that the bribe had been aimed for either Ivan Glukhov or Denis Glukhov. Therefore, the case was opened under Articles 159.4 and 30.3 of the RF Crime Code, namely attempted fraud.
