Text of report by privately owned Russian television channel REN TV on 6 April
[Presenter] Several tax offices in Moscow today were closed to ordinary visitors as they were receiving unusual ones: early this morning searches were conducted there, including in the Federal Tax Service central office. According to some reports, the searches were linked to an investigation into fraud with VAT refunds. Valentin Trushnin has more.
[Correspondent] Reports that a deputy head of the Moscow city directorate of the Federal Tax Service [Olga Chernichuk] may have been stealing, and stealing billions, did not come as a surprise to the country’s chief tax official, [Federal Tax Service head] Mikhail Mishustin. He knew of the impending searches in advance. Ordinary people were not shocked by this news either. It was probably only Olga Chernichuk who was surprised when investigators simultaneously appeared at her office, flat and dacha. At the Federal Tax Service’s Moscow directorate she was in charge of the most corruption-intensive area, that of VAT refunds.

Russian police general dismissive of EU, US sanctions over lawyer’s death
REN TV
Text of report by privately owned Russian television channel REN TV on 3 February
[Presenter] Yelena Baturina, the wife of the former Moscow mayor [Yuriy Luzhkov], may be invited for questioning in connection with the theft of R13bn [over 430m dollars at the current exchange rate] from the Moscow city budget, the head of the Interior Ministry’s investigations committee, Aleksey Anichin, has said at a news conference today. He said that the investigation was in full swing, however the journalists were interested not so much in Baturina’s problems as in the problems of Anichin himself and, specifically, if he will be missing Europe since Anichin’s name is on the so-called black list of 60 officials connected with the Magnitskiy case who have been banned from entering European countries and the USA.
[Anichin] To take a decision like that, not only as regards me but as regards 60 people, without any court or other ruling is strange, to say the least. In recent years I have not travelled anywhere apart from former Soviet republics and have no plans to, so even if they do issue the ban, I won’t be suffering much.
[Presenter] Gen Anichin added that he had not received an official notification of a ban to enter the USA and EU countries.
An employee of the investment fund Hermitage Capital, Sergey Magnitskiy, while under investigation, died in custody in November 2009. The circumstances of his death have not been established still. займы онлайн на карту срочно займы на карту без отказа https://zp-pdl.com/how-to-get-fast-payday-loan-online.php https://zp-pdl.com/get-a-next-business-day-payday-loan.php срочный займ на карту онлайн
