Under the constant attention of Sobchak and other Soviet judicial experts and scholars, but also because of the continuous attention of the media. The Churbanov case has finally been officially recognized. Under the strong demands of Sobchak and other legal scholars, the judiciary has agreed to the Churbanov case to be heard publicly, and Churbanov has the right to choose his own lawyer reasonable requirements. Now everything is under the spotlight and under the supervision of the media, which makes Seryozha more confident in handling this matter.
Sobchak did his part to assume the duties of Churbanov's defense lawyer. At his request, the prosecution handed over the relevant files of the Churbanov case to Sobchak. A few days later, Sobchak finally saw him in the notorious Sailor Silence Prison on the outskirts of Moscow. Churbanov of the month.
When Seryozha had just developed the third phase of the Moscow Workers' New City, Sobchak had a relationship with Churbanov. The two still have some impressions of each other. As Churbanov's lawyer, Sobchak originally requested a private meeting, but the prosecution rejected Sobchak's reasonable request. During the meeting, the prison administrators were always watching.
Sobchak has carefully read the relevant materials of the Churbanov case. The prosecution mainly charged Churbanov with crimes of corruption, abuse of power, and crimes of unknown sources of huge amounts of property. Among them, the crime of unidentified sources of huge property has a strong meaning. Once convicted, the prosecution can launch a new investigation on the Mediterranean trading company that has business dealings with Churbanov on this basis. Sobchak could more or less guess something about Seryozha. He knew the importance of this lawsuit to Seryozha, so Sobchak asked Churbanov with all his heart. What the prosecution said, and recorded it one by one.
"Churbanov, the main evidence for the prosecution's corruption charges is that when you were the First Deputy Minister of the Interior, you received gifts from some local officials, including cars, high-end watches, high-end carpets, gold and cash. The money How did you handle it?" Sobchak asked.
"I handed in all these things when I was dismissed as the first deputy minister of the Ministry of the Interior. The Seagull car is still in the Ministry of the Interior. I bought a few watches and other things I liked, and handed over the rest to the Ministry of the Interior. It was given to the Ministry of the Interior, as for those carpets, some of them were used to decorate the villas of the officials of the Ministry of the Interior, and some were used to decorate the offices..." Churbanov said truthfully, what he said was the truth, Because he never thought that he would be dismissed by Andropov one day, so many things were recorded in the public accounts. Churbanov felt that sooner or later the entire Ministry of the Interior would belong to him. Is there any difference between public accounts and private use? As for those watches, when Andropov launched an anti-corruption campaign, Churbanov was scared to death. I didn't have a lot of money, so I simply bought a few pieces I liked, and the rest were kept in the accounts of the Ministry of the Interior. This actually saved Churbanov's life.
Sobchak nodded in satisfaction after listening to Churbanov's narration. Since it was all left to the Ministry of the Interior, it would be difficult to establish this charge. So Sobchak asked again about abuse of power.
He asked Churbanov: "When you were the first minister of the Ministry of the Interior, you once mobilized the engineering corps of the border army to build luxurious villas and mansions for the senior leaders of the Ministry of the Interior. What did you do about it? Explanation?"
"Professor Sobchak, you also said that I was the first deputy minister at the time, and my boss was Minister Sholokov. Without his old man's approval, how dare I and how could I mobilize the border guards." Chulba Novov said sincerely, Sobchak glanced at Chulbanov, he didn't expect this guy to be a man with a heart, Xiaolokov had already lost his reputation in Andropov's anti-corruption campaign, and committed suicide by drinking a bullet up. Churbanov was smart enough to blame the dead.
Now there is still the most deadly charge left, the crime of unknown source of huge property. Sobchak asked again: "How do you plan to explain the huge wealth you now have to the judge? If the reasons you put forward are not convincing, then this lawsuit will be difficult to fight!"
"All this money was earned by going into business after I left public office?" Churbanov replied.
"What business?" Sobchak asked again.
"The import and export business is to help the Mediterranean Trading Company purchase or distribute goods?" Churbanov said.
Sobchak glanced at Churbanov, but he did not continue to ask. This answer satisfied neither Sobchak nor the judge. Although many people have taken the opportunity to make a fortune since the reform began, these people have more or less been involved in some illegal activities. It is too difficult for Churbanov to fully explain the source of his wealth.
Sobchak and Churbanov checked the notes and left the Sailors' Silent Prison. He got into the car and returned to his office in Moscow. Then dialed Seryozha's personal phone.
"The prosecution wants to implicate Med Trading in a huge amount of unidentified property," Sobchak said by phone.
"What should I do?" Seryozha said directly.
"You have to have evidence that Chulbanov's property is legal!" Sobchak said.
"Okay, I understand!" Seryozha hung up the phone directly after finishing speaking. He understood what Professor Sobchak meant, that is, the Mediterranean Trading Company would endorse most of Churbanov's property, and he had to Falsify a reasonable company account for Churbanov. This matter is not difficult at all for Sergei Sha, who has worked in the money laundering industry for so many years, this matter is not a piece of cake.
So Seryozha obtained the accounts of the seized company under the name of Churbanov through the relationship of the KGB. According to this account, Seryozha recreated a copy of the account that belonged to the Mediterranean Trading Company that matched this account. It doesn't matter even if the prosecutor finds Mediterranean Trading Company in the end. With this account, Mediterranean Trading Company can be cleared of suspicion. At that time, neither the accusation against Churbanov nor the accusation against Zizhonghai Trading Company will be established.
A few days later, the account was put into the database of the Mediterranean Trading Company, waiting quietly for the prosecution to review.
