Seryosha really didn't expect that Ligachev was playing for real, and when he learned the news, he immediately contacted Chubanov and asked him to go to Poland to avoid the limelight.
Who knew that at this time, several prosecutors actually rushed into Chubanov's apartment in Moscow and took him away.
The news was told to Seryosha by Chulbanov's spouse Galina, who also found many of his father's former subordinates to inquire what had happened, and soon half of Moscow officials knew that Chubanov had been taken away.
This time, Ligachev did it so cleanly that even the KGB did not react.
Seryosha, after all, graduated from the law faculty of Leningrad University, and has some connections in judicial circles.
He found out some inside stories through the channels of alumni, and it was said that there were officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were caught in the handle to shake out Churbanov's affairs during the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Uzbekistan in order to mitigate their crimes, such as Chubanov used the funds of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy a Seagull brand high-end car as his own special car, of course, this special car is still affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has not become Chubanov's private property.
For example, Chubanov let his border guards build holiday villas for senior officials of the Interior Ministry.
These villas are also public property and still belong to the Ministry of the Interior.
But although Chubanov did not put these things in his pocket, he enjoyed the treatment that a deputy ministerial official should not enjoy.
Seagull cars were only available to Soviet state leaders at the level of the first rank, and it was an abuse of power to have the engineering units of the border guards build luxury villas for the top brass of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
So far, however, Ligachev has unearthed only a small amount of evidence.
It is simply impossible to send Chubanov to prison on the basis of this little thing.
However, there is one thing that worries Seryosha a little, and that is the Uzbek cotton case.
You must know that the Mediterranean Trading Company has always been the largest buyer of Uzbek commodity cotton, and it is impossible for the Mediterranean Trading Company to get rid of this matter in any case.
In order to prepare in advance and prevent another surprise attack by Ligachev's men, Seryosha sent Yulia to the Mediterranean Trading Company to destroy all the materials related to the Uzbek cotton case.
In addition, Seryosha also visited members of the Brezhnev family, including Galina, through whom he contacted Brezhnev's past protégés and former officials, and together put pressure on Ligachev to rescue Chulbanov.
At the same time, Seryosha has not forgotten his current ally Yeltsin, in the past six months, Yeltsin has been confronting his superiors for the injustice of the workers' new city project, and almost everything that Ligachev wants to hide has been ruthlessly exposed by Yeltsin, and the broad masses of citizens and comrades in Moscow basically know the truth about the suspension of the workers' new city.
However, Yeltsin and Chubanov are not all the way, and it is impossible for Yeltsin to speak for Chubanov, and on the issue of anti-corruption, Yeltsin is more radical and has no room for sand in his eyes.
But it is possible to get Yeltsin to put more pressure on Ligachev.
Less than a week after Chubanov was arrested, at the instigation of Seryosha, Yeltsin led the victims of the Moscow Workers' New City project to the Moscow District Court to file a civil lawsuit with Ligachev's National Economic Reform Committee on the misappropriation of funds in the Workers' New City.
And the drafter of the indictment was none other than Seryosha's teacher, Professor Sobchak.
From the founding of the Soviet Union to the present, there has never been a precedent for ordinary people to sue government departments.
This kind of thing was the first time in the Soviet Union, the first lawsuit against a civil prosecutor in the Soviet Union.
The media began to gather at the courthouse's door, hoping to record the historic moment.
Yeltsin wore a blue suit and a red tie, while Sobchak followed him, and the two came to the iron gate of the court's office hall with their heads held high.
"Secretary Yeltsin is good," shouted someone in the crowd, and random bursts of applause and whistles rang out.
The people of Moscow knew what they were here for, and a warm feeling rose in their hearts.
For many years, Moscow finally hoped for a good secretary who would be the master of the people.
Yeltsin and Sobchak walked to the gate of the courthouse, but were stopped by the guards at the door, who cowered and asked the two: "Secretary Yeltsin, what are you doing here?"
After Yeltsin finished speaking, Sobchak took out the indictment from the briefcase he brought with him and handed it to Yeltsin.
The officials present casually flipped to the defendant's page, and then saw that it read Soviet Economic Reform Committee, and they were immediately startled and hurriedly returned the indictment to Yeltsin.
Then he said: "Secretary, don't embarrass us, we are just a small local court, and we dare not take on such a big case."
"I came to the court today as a citizen and I want you to do justice, can't we go to court?"
Yeltsin asked.
"Secretary Yeltsin, you wait a while, I'll go and ask the leader, why don't you come in first and take a rest" The officials present did not dare to make decisions on their own, so they had to stabilize Yeltsin for the time being, and then he quickly ran back to the office and asked his superiors for instructions.
The Moscow District Court did not dare to make an arbitrary decision, so the phone call became higher and higher, and soon it was stabbed to Ligachev.
When Ligachev heard the news, he was filled with indignation, and he felt that this Yeltsin did not have a sense of the overall situation at all, and as a high-ranking cadre of the state, he ignored the overall situation of the country's financial difficulties, and kept making endless troubles just for the sake of such a small workers' new city in Moscow.
Ligachev just wanted to go directly to the scene by car, but was stopped by his secretary.
"Secretary Ligachev, you can't go, there's a conspiracy here," Ligachev's secretary blocked.
"What conspiracy," Ligachev asked.
"Secretary, we just arrested Chubanov for his abuse of power.
What if the issue of our appropriation of the workers' new city funds is led in this direction," the secretary discouraged.
"I'm for the country," Ligachev retorted.
"Secretary, Chulbanov's car and dacha have always belonged to the state," the secretary said. t1706231537:
