In Estonia, the scam uncovered, 64 million Euros for Latvian companies have taken out

[Valerit]

Estonia has announced the disclosure of criminal networks engaged in money and exportation of cash in Russia .

"For this theme are some of the political and business circles , as well as people associated with organized crime ," - said General Director of the Security Police ( Security Police ) Raivo Aeg .

Writes Postimees, Raivo Aeg told about messy and confusing history in which some nodes were nerazvyazannymi or covered with a veil of state secrecy. To understand the case , this story should be divided into three parts.

First layer

On the wall of the office Krista Aas , head of the Bureau of Criminal revenues of the Central Criminal Police , located in Tallinn on the street Teestuze , hangs a large diagram of the many glued sheets of A4 paper .

At the top of the pyramid shown in the diagram, the fine print says the company name Ateka, and apart from her hundreds of other threads that lead to the following firms. Next to each name is written and the amount that bound them with Ateka.

This is mainly Russian companies , but among them there are and Latvian . "This is only part of the picture ," - says Aas , pointing to the map , and adds , describing the scope of the case : " The export of cash in Russia , according to statistics , fell five times - after we have closed Ateka».

Simply speaking , the activity Ateka in Estonia is as follows. Of Russian and Latvian bank transfers listed on their bill in Tallinn money later converted into dollars or euros , and then withdrawn in cash .

After that couriers Ateka dragged cash in bags and suitcases back to Russia . Sometimes the money made ​​certain transactions : transfers from one account to another , creating new companies , looking for the so-called tankers , were allowed on the wrong track .

But the point was always the same: money transfer to Estonia and cash - back in Russia . At the beginning of the investigation was completed , and the company Ateka and four individuals ( Ger Anton , Sergey Kirillov, Sergei Golubaev and Andrus Koch ) has been charged .

The hearings on the most massive in the Estonian case of money laundering will begin in the fall. According to the indictment , in Estonia laundered 64 million euros - is proved by the amount of turnover . Investigators say that out of all the traces do not have time, managed to arrest about four million euros. Money laundering - this is a very lucrative "business" .

Amounts are gigantic, and Ateka - not the only one who laundered money through Estonia . Earned not only the participants of schemes , the work was for other people who have the skills and experience in this field.

So, for example , were transferred from Russia to Estonia money , but then they were arrested on suspicion of money laundering, and the Russian masters of funds (whether businessmen , criminals , or both) fell into a panic - what happens now? "These people in Russia do not know Estonian laws - said the head of the Central Criminal Police Raigo Haab . - We need to prove prior offense that is unlawful origin of the money . " Prove to be for two months. And almost never have time so quickly. So , after two months in 9 cases out of 10 accounts to be released from custody .

As mentioned , people in Russia do not know Estonian laws . These is rolled person from Estonia , who say something like, " You were arrested in Estonia money , give us a 20 %- and we 'd cream of judges, prosecutors and members of the Office of data on money laundering . After two months of your money released . " In fact, two months, no one does anything , because they know that with high probability the money will still be released.

It is hinted that one such business in Estonia was Veikko Kull the same niche trying to expand to arrest an employee Indrek Pyder Capo , groping opportunities and former prefect of police Ivar Otsalt .

second layer

Then begins the second layer of the story . All of them - Kull Pyder , Otsalt - are former police officers. Is a former policeman and worked as head of security Ateka Arnold Matyas .

"Normal employee has been ," - says Eerik Heldna about Matyashova . The fact is that many years ago Matthias was his subordinate in the drug bust .

Is a former policeman and Sergey Eloshvili , who serves on the board Äripank. In this Äripank is in Estonia 's favorite Russian bank dealers that specialize in scrolling of money (including Ateka).

Another favorite Russian bank money is Krediidipank, a cat running Mait Casella ( whether it is necessary to repeat - a former guard of the order ) , who was the contact person at the bank office data on money laundering.

( As a side note it is worth noting that in every financial institution should have its own specific official who informs Bureau data on money laundering on all suspicious transactions . Krediidipank In this Mait Casella . )

So , an interesting picture begins to emerge . In fact Ateka alignment was such that on the one hand were the police , and the other former police officers, which involved or attempted to engage in the business of politicians and even the press. The investigation into Ateka torpedoed on all sides. There have been complaints , promises , threats, in the course were both carrots and sticks . In the address of investigators spread slander and lies.

The journalists were also able to exploit . For example, in the " Business News " was one absurd article about Raul Vahtra and Head of Research Bureau data on money laundering Ivar Orukaska . Later, when it became clear that the facts presented in the article are false , Äripäev removed the material from its web page and sent a written apology .

"We found that , probably , the material for the" Business News " wrote Herr Anton himself a journalist but put his signature ," - said now Vahtra .

Bureau data against money laundering in the press also spoke and Calle Klandorf ( a former police officer , a friend of the aforementioned Sergei Eloshvili ), which Delfi and the pages Kesknädal accused Ivar Orukaska that he took a bribe . This story actually took place ten years ago.

But what Klandorf silent about is the fact that at that time there was Orukaska court permission to simulate a crime - Orukask demonstrates Postimees court order . At that time , taking a bribe Orukask perform regular work of the investigator. But according to Klandorfa , it has become a corrupt police officer.

Available Postimees a copy of a letter authored by Yuri ZHITIN . At the time, he gained fame because he ran for City Council in the list the Centre Party , in order to obtain funds for his campaign , he robbed his own house administration and hung on the wall of the partnership poster " Pick me ! ".

In the said letter ZHITIN among other things says: " Herr Anton asked me to spread negative information about employees Bureau data on money laundering. /... /Ger arranged a meeting with two journalists Päevaleht, I do not remember the names , but one was a young man, and another woman . "

ZHITIN meant journalists Eesti Päevaleht Holger Roonemaa and Kärt Anvelt . Kärt Anvelt says that at that time they really went to talk to many people, but because their words were contradictory, which meant that someone is lying , the article failed.

Of the trap that caught "Business Bulletin " and Delfi, was avoided. In addition Kärt Anvelt in this story was drawn and her husband Andres Anvelt - he, too, was a former police officer .

Andres Anvelt says that Anton Germany, came to him and told him about the problems . " At first, his story was inconsistent , but then Ger mentioned that Ivar Orukask meets with employees of the FSB Pskov - says Anvelt . - With this information, I went to the Security Police . "

In this case Anvelt was not in the most comfortable position : The above Veyko Kull is a relative of his , though distant .

" Veikko lives his life , he has his own company , I did not touch . I have done what is my duty , and passed the information on human intelligence agency ER . And I say that would do the same , "- says Anvelt .

But Anvelt not the only one whose then knocked on the door . Then (2009-2013) Minister of Justice Rein Lang recalled that he had been approached Marek Strandberg and Aad Luberg . Until Strandberg theme can be reached through the Security Police Commission , which he headed, and is a business partner Luberg Veyko Kull .

" Strandberg called and said something confusing about money laundering. I told him to set down on paper and sent it to me. But the letter never arrived - said Lang. - But Luberg sent me a text muddy , I immediately destroyed the letter in my mailbox . I do with it was nothing . "

In general , there was diligent treatment . The amounts were large, and every possible opportunity . During the search of the office was found Ateka memorandum carefully described what they are doing and plan to do the investigators - an obvious leak from the police or prosecutors. On the basis of the complaint Hera began checking Orukaska and even criminal case .

Now comes a time when there are disputes and controversies . Ivar Orukask clearly angry and accuses the defenders of the law in two things . First, if the crooks and liars go to complain about him , then heads (he has in mind primarily the Security Police and the prosecutor's office ) did not do anything .

"Three years ago I threw mud , but I was told that this is a private matter ," - says Orukask . He adds that the criminal case should not have been - check out all of his accounts and property could be without it.

The former chief Raul Orukaska Vahtra a different opinion . He agrees that the version of slander and lies would have to work out thoroughly , not to mention the leak . But the need for institution of a criminal case the former chief Orukaska adheres to its previous opinion: " It is the work of Security Police. If someone complains that the officer extorts money, it should be checked . "

Orukask believes that it acted unlawfully against that one company of former policemen something cheat and tried to influence the investigation by using his old connections.

Although no one has confirmed in Postimees have data that provide a basis to assume that Herr Anton some time could be an informant KaPo that explains to his self-confidence.

Raigo Haab said that if a person is an informant of a home , it does not mean that he is at the same time could be the target of another house . Under the two houses Haab has a view of the Security Police and the National Bureau of politsiyu.Eerik Heldna adds that if the informant provides information , some of it is useful, and the rest - a pure lie , it does not mean that the recipient information will not be able to figure it out myself .

Talk about whistleblowers - just a theory , since no Haab or Heldna name is not called .

Third layer

Third - the deepest layer of the story. While working on this article , Postimees talked to so many people , and from the outset it was clear that a certain company is trying to organize directed in a certain direction leak .

The name of this kind of article in Õhtuleht would be " Eerik Heldna and Andres Anvelt - scum , and Capo all bastards ." In a somewhat broader representatives of this trend are trying to counter the criminal police and the Security Police , Security Police hurt , dismissing hints and confused linking .

For example, take some of the complaints Orukaska , add to this fiction and easily refuted allegations (self Orukask easily refute them , when I told him they are bringing ) . CEO of Capo Raivo Aeg called representatives of this trend by politicians , the business community and the types with criminal connections , the purpose of which - to undermine the work of the special services of ER .

But the company - anecdotal, not led by a single center group , but rather a network in which to accomplish the same goal intertwine different motives : personal vengeance , the income from money laundering , political interests (for example , the passage of the so-called bill Berlusconi ) .

Heldna adds that in the context of the story of money laundering a campaign of slander and weaving plots against Estonia's security services , and that in such intrigues and slander campaigns primarily interested in the service , the traces of which are drawn " on the street Pikk " and " the other side of the river" . Names is not called .

Apparently, Capo knows more than he's saying . The only two names at the sounding of which nod their head , it's Veikko Kull and Calle Klandorf . However, they are not considered the leading figures of the network, they are called " representatives ."

For Anton Gera everything, even disappointed Orukask Ivar and his critics say he is in the money laundering was playing the role of " tanker " for him were far more significant figures .

PS. Last week, Ivar Orukaska was removed from office in the Bureau of the data on money laundering . According Orukaska , he was put before a choice - either he will himself , or it initiated criminal proceedings against leaking state secrets.
