“It is all within the framework of politically motivated cases”. The complaint of Andrey Borodin’s lawyers was dismissed.
On Friday, Tverskoy Court of Moscow dismissed the complaint of the former head of Bank of Moscow Andrey Borodin’s defence. Lawyer Vladimir Krasnov was requesting to eliminate the violations committed in the course of preliminary investigation. A day earlier the same court refused to even take into consideration a slander complaint, filed by the lawyer on behalf of the former president of the bank against the Investigative Department of the Interior Ministry.

Statement by Andrey Borodin’s defense attorney Vladimir Krasnov
On October 12, 2011, the media reported that the Tverskoi court of the city of Moscow, via a ruling dated October 11 of this year, refused to accept a statement of claim, which I had filed on October 4, in defense of the honor, dignity, and business reputation of Andrey Borodin. It was reported, citing the court’s press secretary, that “in his application, Mr. Borodin has lodged a complaint against actions taken by the investigators, something for which a different procedure is provided for by the law. The Court has explained that the applicant may lodge a complaint against the investigators’ actions following the procedure set forth in Article 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure”.
The reason and basis for filing a claim with the court was a public information notice posted at the official website of the Interior Ministry of Russia on September 29 of this year and alleging that new charges were brought against A. Borodin on that day. The statement of claim provided proof that no such fact had taken place on September 29 and, therefore, such information was not true. Thus, rather than appealing any actions taken by an investigator or the contents of a service document, the claim argued as to the unreliability of information about the very fact that such an investigative action had taken place, not the same thing, by any stretch. The claim filed is fully compliant with the requirements of the law. The Defense has proof that there were no plans to bring new charges on September 29. It transpired after the claim was filed that this particular investigative action was scheduled for a later date. Incidentally, I had not been informed of that in due time.12 октября 2011 г. в СМИ появилась информация о том, что Тверской суд г. Москвы определением от 11 октября с.г. отказал в принятии искового заявления, поданного мною 4 октября с.г. в защиту чести, достоинства и деловой репутации Андрея Бородина. Со ссылкой на пресс-секретаря суда сообщалось, что «в своем обращении Бородин обжалует действия следствия, для чего законом предусмотрен другой порядок. Суд пояснил, что заявитель может обратиться с жалобой на действия следствия в порядке статьи 125 УПК».
Поводом и основанием для обращения в суд стало информационное сообщение, размещенное на официальном сайте МВД России 29 сентября с.г., о том, что в этот день А.Бородину было якобы предъявлено новое обвинение. В иске обосновывалось, что 29 сентября такой факт не имел места и, следовательно, эта информация не соответствовала действительности. Таким образом, обжаловались не какие-то действия следователя или содержание какого-либо процессуального документа, а недостоверность сведений о самом факте проведения подобного следственного действия, что, как очевидно, далеко не одно и то же. Поданный иск полностью соответствует требованиям закона. Защита располагает доказательствами того, что предъявление нового обвинения и не предполагалось проводить 29 сентября. Как выяснилось уже после подачи иска, данное следственное действие было назначено на более позднюю дату, о чем, кстати, я своевременно уведомлен не был. (more…)

Putin Reminds VTB Chief of Need to Protect Rights of Bank of Moscow Minority Shareholders
MOSCOW, October 6 – RIA NOVOSTI. The Russian authorities view protection of minority shareholders as a key avenue of improving the business environment, said RF Prime-Minister Vladimir Putin on Wednesday after disagreeing with VTB Chief Andrei Kostin to the effect that the matter was irrelevant and after reminding him of the Bank of Moscow situation.
After it acquired a 46.48% stake in the Bank of Moscow last February, VTB was to have made a buyout offer to minority shareholders since the 30 percent barrier had been cleared. However, VTB “circumvented” the requirement. As a result, more than six months later, VTB bought shares from some of the minority shareholders thus raising its stake to 80.50%.РИА Новости
МОСКВА, 6 окт – РИА Новости. Защита миноритариев является для российских властей одним из главных направлений в улучшении бизнес-среды, заявил премьер-министр РФ Владимир Путин, не согласившись с главой ВТБ Андреем Костиным по поводу неактуальности этого вопроса и припомнив ему ситуацию с Банком Москвы.
ВТБ, приобретя в феврале 46,48% акций Банка Москвы, должен был выставить оферту миноритарным акционерам, так как был преодолен 30-процентный барьер. Однако ВТБ “обошел” это требование. В итоге спустя более полугода ВТБ выкупил у части миноритариев акции, доведя свой пакет до 80,50%. (more…)
Special Presidential Envoy Named Source of Contract to Kill Businessman
The family of businessman Andrei Burlakov who was shot and killed at Moscow’s Khutorok cafe on September 29 have asked Head of Russia’s Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin to elevate the investigation to the federal level. The daughter of the victim has stated that the individuals involved in the attempted murder [sic – transl.] have vast financial resources and are in a position to influence the investigation.
It has been claimed that Igor Yusufov, former Special Presidential Envoy for Energy Cooperation, put out the murder contract. “Based on information received from my father and Anna Etkina (his common law wife) I assume that this murder was contracted by Former Special Presidential Envoy for Energy Cooperation Igor Khanukovich Yusufov,” says the statement, according to Izvestia.
Родственники бизнесмена Андрея Бурлакова, расстрелянного 29 сентября в столичном кафе «Хуторок», обратились к главе Следственного комитета России Александру Бастрыкину с просьбой забрать расследование на федеральный уровень. Дочь убитого Анастасия Бурлакова утверждает, что люди, причастные к покушению, имеют большой финансовый ресурс и могут повлиять на следствие.
В качестве заказчика убийства в заявлении называется бывший спецпредставитель президента по вопросам энергетического сотрудничества Игорь Юсуфов. «Из рассказа моего отца и Эткиной Анны (его гражданской жены) я предполагаю, что данное убийство заказано бывшим спецпредставителем президента по вопросам энергетического сотрудничества гражданином Юсуфовым Игорем Хануковичем», – говорится в заявлении, пишут «Известия».

The return of President Vladimir Putin will be bad news for Britain
By Con Coughlin, The Telegraph
I fear that Vladimir Putin’s confirmation that he is to seek re-election as Russia’s president does not bode well for the future of Anglo-Russian relations. Within days of Mr Putin declaring his intention to re-occupy the Kremlin the first warning shot has been fired at Britain in the form of an official demand for Britain to extradite 43 Russian citizens who have fled to the UK.
The Russian ambassador, Alexander Yakovenko, claims the mass extraditions will help to improve relations between the two countries. I regard it as nothing more than a blatant act of intimidation against David Cameron following his recent, inconclusive, visit to Moscow.
The main purpose of Mr Cameron’s visit was to initiate a thaw in the frosty relations that have existed between London and Moscow ever since Russian intelligence officers were implicated in the 2006 assassination of dissident ex-KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko, who was poisoned with polonium at a London hotel. Russia has consistently refused to hand over Andrei Lugovoi, the main suspect in the case.
But rather than making any admission of guilt, the Russians have resorted to their usual bully-boy tactics by demanding that Britain extradite the exotic assortment of Russian billionaires and pro-democracy campaigners who have sought refuge in London.
The latest senior Russian official to fall foul of the Kremlin is Andrei Borodin, the former chief executive officer of the Bank of Moscow, who has gone into hiding after the Russian government accused him of irregularities relating to a $400 million loan. But Mr Borodin claims he is the victim of a politically-motivated takeover of the bank.Кон Кафлин (Con Coughlin)
