The Main Investigations Directorate has investigated and is currently investigating a number of criminal cases against Boris Berezovsky. Namely, in the criminal case over fraudulent stealing 200 million rubles from OAO Aeroflot (OJSC) in 1999, Berezovsky was charged and sentenced in absentia to 6 years in prison. In another criminal case over stealing property from OAO AvtoVAZ worth 50 billion undenominated rubles, which was filed in a single law suit with a case over illegal seizure of land owned by unitary enterprise Health Complex Zhukovka, - Berezovsky was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
In addition Berezovsky is charged with stealing 13 million US dollars from OAO AKB SbS-AGRO (OJSC) and money-laundering; with knowingly false report on a person committing an especially serious crime; with calls to mass riots contained in the texts posted in the Internet: “Open letter to those born in the USSR” and “Arrest Putin. Reestablish constitutional order”. Besides, Berezovsky is accused of the fact that being Deputy Secretary of Security Council of the Russian Federation he signed an agreement with leaders of illegal armed groups Raduyev and Basayev leading to the fact that the persons who had committed especially serious crimes were not prosecuted. The said criminal cases have been filed into a single law suit and Berezovsky is charged with crimes under part 3 of article 210, paragraphs “a” and “b” of part 3 of article 159, part 3 of article 174, part 5 of article 33, article 193, paragraph “c” of part 3 of article 286, part 3 of article 306 and part 3 of article 212 of the RF Criminal Code.
Apart from all that, Berezovsky was checked on involvement in murders of Vladislav Listyev, Anna Politkovskaya and State Duma deputy Vladimir Golovlyov. However the information got during investigation of these cases has not been confirmed yet.
It should be noted that the facts stated in the documentary about Boris Berezovsky showed by Rossia TV channel will by all means be checked and classified. However, it worth noting that even before the documentary, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee had received an application from Mikhail Kodanyov convicted in 2004 for organizing a murder of State Duma deputy Sergey Yushenkov. Kodanyov had said in his statement that the real contractors of the deputy’s murder had been Arkady Patarkatsishvili and Boris Berezovsky. Kodanyov expressed his willingness to cooperate with investigation, therefore the decision has already been made to transport him to Moscow for necessary investigating operations.
