Ещё немного горечи для Владлена Степанова

Живой Журнал

Как я и обещал, мы подготовили письмо в прокуратуру Швейцарии по материалам, полученным по запросам суда, рассматривавшего иск о защите чести и достоинства Владлена_я_испытываю_горечь_Степанова.

Напомню, что хоть и душевные волнения и потеря 8 кг веса Степанова обойдутся мне в 100 тысяч рублей, нам удалось документально установить:

1. Степанов не имеет легальных доходов, объясняющих происхождение миллионов евро на своих счетах в Швейцарии:

2. Степанов де-юре развёлся со своей женой — бывшим начальником налоговой инспекции №28 только в 2010 году. А значит их собственность: от вилл в Дубае до денег в Швейцарии — совместная собственность супругов.

1) Деньги пропали из бюджета 2) Бумаги подписала начальница налоговой №28 Степанова 3) У мужа Степановой появляются миллионные счета 4) муж не может объяснить происхождение средств.

Что это? Правильно: отмывание доходов, полученных преступным путём.

Это всё имеет серьёзное юридическое значение для дела об отмывании Степановым средств, возбужденном в Швейцарии.

Повторяю свою позицию:
Я считаю, что это наши деньги. Они должны быть возвращены налогоплательщикам РФ.

Вот такое мы отправили письмо:

Re: Fur­ther Evi­dence Regard­ing Crim­i­nal Com­plaint Relat­ing to Vladlen Stepanov and Olga Stepano­va in con­nec­tion with mon­ey laun­der­ing per­tain­ing to accounts held at Cred­it Suisse (Zurich) in the names of Aikate Prop­er­ties, Inc., Arivust Hold­ings Lim­it­ed, and relat­ed accounts

Dear Mrs Bino:

I am a Russ­ian polit­i­cal and social activist focused on cor­rup­tion issues in Rus­sia. My back­ground is rea­son­ably well sum­ma­rized in my Wikipedia biog­ra­phy, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Navalny.
I am send­ing this let­ter to pro­vide you fur­ther evi­dence of crim­i­nal activ­i­ty regard­ing two Rus­sians in con­nec­tion with the above-cap­tioned case, one of whom has been a high­ly-ranked Russ­ian tax offi­cial, relat­ing to account activ­i­ty in Switzer­land at Cred­it Suisse (Zurich) (“Cred­it Suisse’).

In con­nec­tion with my work, I have pre­vi­ous­ly pub­lished on my web­site (http://navalny.livejournal.com/578669.html) alle­ga­tions of mon­ey laun­der­ing and cor­rup­tion involv­ing these two indi­vid­u­als, Olga Stepano­va and Vladlen Stepanov, whose assets I under­stand have been frozen by your office in con­nec­tion with their illic­it finan­cial trans­ac­tions at Cred­it Suisse. This infor­ma­tion was dis­closed pub­li­cal­ly by Vladlen Stepanov, him­self, in his open let­ter to me in RBC news­pa­per (http://stepanov-vlad.livejournal.com/728.html). In response to my pub­li­ca­tion of the alle­ga­tions relat­ing to their cor­rup­tion and mon­ey laun­der­ing in rela­tion to the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYDJYTcgnLo, Vladlen Stepanov has sued me in a Moscow court for defamation.

In the course of those pro­ceed­ing, at my request, the Moscow court sub­poe­naed var­i­ous Russ­ian state bod­ies to pro­duce doc­u­ments on Stepanov’s s income for the peri­od 2003 – 2009 as well as the facts behind his mar­i­tal sta­tus. I am pro­vid­ing you those doc­u­ments in Enclosure’s 1 and 2 with Eng­lish trans­la­tions. These doc­u­ments con­firm that he has no legit­i­mate expla­na­tion for the $39 mil­lion in assets he and his wife, Olga Stepano­va acquired in Moscow, Dubai and Switzer­land, and effec­tive­ly con­firms that he com­mit­ted tax fraud in Russia.

The doc­u­ments pro­vid­ed by var­i­ous Russ­ian gov­ern­ment agen­cies to the Moscow Lublin Dis­trict Court, reveal that Vladlen Stepanov’s offi­cial income aver­aged $4,340 per annum over the past four years and totaled $346,081 for the peri­od of 2003 to 2009, which togeth­er cov­er the time of all of his trans­ac­tions through Cred­it Suisse accounts in Switzerland.
These doc­u­ments show that Vladlen Stepanov has no legit­i­mate expla­na­tion for more than 99 per­cent of the assets that he con­trols and that have flowed through his bank accounts, includ­ing the mil­lions of dol­lars and Euros that have moved through the accounts he held at Cred­it Suisse.
The doc­u­ments from the Lublin Dis­trict Court in Moscow also pro­vide evi­dence that Vladlen Stepanov and Olga Stepano­va were only divorced in Decem­ber 16, 2010, show­ing that pre­vi­ous pub­lic state­ments made by Vladlen Stepanov that they had been divorced a decade or more ago were false.

As you may be aware, in Rus­sia, divorces by those in the busi­ness and polit­i­cal class­es are com­mon­ly under­tak­en to pro­vide a for­mal legal sep­a­ra­tion between spous­es for tax or busi­ness rea­sons, even when the two per­sons are still liv­ing togeth­er as hus­band and wife and remain part­ners in their per­son­al lives. How­ev­er, the doc­u­men­ta­tion pro­vid­ed by the court shows that the legal “divorce” between Vladlen Stepanov and Olga Stepano­va did not take place until Decem­ber 16, 2010 and is objec­tive evi­dence that the funds they have amassed up until then involved corruption.

This doc­u­ment also con­firms that in accor­dance with the Russ­ian law, Vladlen Stepanov’s wife, Olga Stepano­va, has been at the effec­tive own­er for at least 50% of all the assets reg­is­tered at Vladlen Stepanov’s name until 16 Decem­ber 2010. As such, Olga Stepano­va was the ben­e­fi­cia­ry of tens of mil­lions of dol­lars (or Euros) in com­mu­ni­ty prop­er­ty at the same time that she, in her capac­i­ty of the Head Moscow Tax office No 28, was autho­ris­ing ille­gal tax rebates from the Trea­sury of the Russ­ian Fed­er­a­tion total­ing up to $230 million.

The doc­u­ments pro­vid­ed in the Moscow court pro­ceed­ing con­firm that as the Head Moscow Tax office No 28, Olga Stepano­va failed to report assets she owned on her pub­lic dis­clo­sure forms, as required for pub­lic offi­cials under Russ­ian law as an anti-cor­rup­tion mea­sure. These doc­u­ments also show mas­sive tax eva­sion on the part of Vladlen Stepanov (being the Russ­ian tax res­i­dent through­out his life) in light of the gross dis­par­i­ty between his unof­fi­cial income and his report­ed income.

For your fur­ther back­ground, Olga Stepano­va, Head of Tax Office No 28 has been respon­si­ble for sys­tem­at­ic ille­gal tax rebates in Rus­sia, as set forth in sum­ma­ry at https://russian-untouchables.com/eng/olga-stepanova/, also in Decem­ber 2007 Olga Stepano­va autho­rized ille­gal rebate of major­i­ty 5.4 bil­lion rubles ($230 mil­lion) of income tax ear­li­er paid by sub­sidiaries of Her­mitage Fund (crim­i­nal com­plaint: https://russian-untouchables.com/rus/docs/D259.pdf). Pre­vi­ous­ly, in Novem­ber –Decem­ber 2006 Olga Stepano­va autho­rized ille­gal rebate of major­i­ty 2.9 bil­lion rubles ($107 mil­lion) of income tax ear­li­er paid by sub­sidiaries of RenGaz, man­aged by Renais­sance Cap­i­tal (crim­i­nal com­plaint: https://russian-untouchables.com/rus/docs/D263.pdf an Eng­lish trans­la­tion https://russian-untouchables.com/rus/docs/D284.pdf). Lat­er, in 2008 Olga Stepano­va also autho­rized an ille­gal rebate of 1 bil­lion rubles ($ 42 mil­lion) of VAT to be paid to OOO “Tech­Prom” (crim­i­nal com­plaint: https://russian-untouchables.com/rus/docs/D269.pdf an Eng­lish trans­la­tion https://russian-untouchables.com/rus/docs/D285.pdf).

I enclose the doc­u­ments that pro­vide the proof that Vladlen Stepanov had no declared source of income for the funds that he moved through his accounts in Switzer­land, that his and Stepanova’s state­ments of their net worth to the Russ­ian author­i­ties were false and fraud­u­lent, and pro­vid­ing the actu­al dates of his mar­riage to, and his “divorce” from, Olga Stepano­va, which there­by doc­u­ment that the funds con­trolled by Stepanov were also the unde­clared and illic­it prop­er­ty of Olga Stepanova.
In summary:
The Cred­it Suisse accounts con­trolled by Vladlen Stepanov, which han­dled funds that were the com­mu­ni­ty prop­er­ty of him and his wife, Olga Stepano­va, at the time she was a senior tax offi­cial in Rus­sia, con­tained funds which vast­ly exceed­ed his (their) legit­i­mate sources of income dur­ing the rel­e­vant peri­ods, and it would appear, through­out his life.

Cir­cum­stan­tial and doc­u­men­tary evi­dence sug­gest that the funds which moved through Vladlen Stepanov’s accounts in Cred­it Suisse or else­where in Switzer­land derived from the funds that Olga Stepano­va fraud­u­lent­ly refund­ed from the Russ­ian Trea­sury in scams con­duct­ed by cor­rupt Russ­ian offi­cials and crim­i­nals for their col­lec­tive ben­e­fit, which includ­ed, but like­ly were not lim­it­ed to the funds relat­ing to the Her­mitage Fund.

Vladlen Stepanov and Olga Stepanov were mar­ried at the time the trans­ac­tions took place, includ­ing all rel­e­vant trans­ac­tions at Cred­it Suisse, mak­ing her ben­e­fit from these funds corrupt.
It is my hope that the new doc­u­ments pro­vide fur­ther evi­dence that you may find help­ful in con­nec­tion with your deci­sion to freeze the assets of accounts con­trolled by Vladlen Stepanov on his own and Olga Stepanova’s behalf, and to pro­vide a basis for their ulti­mate con­fis­ca­tion by the Swiss authorities.
I also hope that you are able to broad­en the inves­ti­ga­tion to explore mon­ey laun­der­ing by oth­ers involved with Vladlen Stepanov and Olga Stepano­va, who were par­tic­i­pants in the ongo­ing crim­i­nal con­spir­a­cy that gen­er­at­ed the funds that moved through Vladlen Stepanov’s accounts. Doing so is impor­tant. The func­tions of Russia’s Inte­ri­or Min­istry and Tax Min­istry have already been sub­stan­tial­ly com­pro­mised and dam­aged by the abus­es under­tak­en by the offi­cials and crim­i­nals who have part­nered in the cor­rup­tion. Already, one man of integri­ty, Russ­ian lawyer Sergei Mag­nit­sky, has been killed in a Russ­ian prison as a result of the efforts of these per­sons to cov­er-up their ongo­ing con­spir­a­cy, uncov­ered by Mr Mag­nit­sky and his col­leagues. Because of the scope, breadth, and capac­i­ty of the con­spir­a­cy and the high lev­el gov­ern­ment posi­tions of some of its par­tic­i­pants, the con­spir­a­cy threat­ens the integri­ty and via­bil­i­ty of a num­ber of Russ­ian state organs.
I remain avail­able to you to pro­vide any fur­ther assistance

Sin­cere­ly,

Alex­ei Navalny

Тем, у кого сложности с омериканским языком здесь доступен примерный перевод.

Владлен Степанов может похудеть ещё на восемь килограмм.
И предъявить мне ещё сто исков о защите несуществующих у него чести и достоинства.
Их весёлая гоп-компания может вертеть росийскими судами и правоохранительными органами. Посмотрим, что получится в Швейцарии.
Да, это странно, что для защиты наших денег и наших граждан мы должны обращаться в Швейцарию. Но так уж вышло, что владлены степановы захватили власть в России.

Это временно.
