Under the constant attention of Sobchak and other experts and scholars in the Soviet judicial circles, but also because of the continuous attention of the media.
Chulbanov's case was finally officially recognized, and at the strong request of Sobchak and other legal scholars, the judiciary agreed to the public hearing of Chulbanov's case, and Chubanov had the right to choose a lawyer of his own reasonable request.
Now that everything is in the spotlight and under the scrutiny of the media, Seryosha is more confident in how to handle the matter.
Sobchak took up the duties of Chulbanov's defense lawyer.
At his request, the prosecution handed over the relevant file of Chulbanov's case to Sobuchak, and a few days later, Sobchak finally met Chulbanov who had disappeared for months in the notorious Sailors' Silent Prison on the outskirts of Moscow.
When Seryosha was just developing the third phase of the Moscow Workers' New City, Sobchak had a relationship with Chulbanov.
The two still have some impressions of each other.
As Chulbanov's lawyer, Sobchak originally asked for a private meeting, but the prosecution rejected Sobchak's reasonable request.
The meeting was monitored by prison administrators at all times.
Sobchak has carefully read the relevant materials of Chulbanov's case, and the prosecution mainly indicted Chulbanov on charges of embezzlement, abuse of power, and the crime of unknown sources of huge assets.
If convicted, the prosecution could launch a new investigation into the Mediterranean trading company, which had business dealings with Chulbanov.
Sobchak could guess a little bit about Seryosha, and he knew the importance of this lawsuit to Seryosha, so Sobchak asked Chulbanov what he had said to the prosecution in the spirit of 12 times, and recorded them one by one.
"Chulbanov, the main evidence for the prosecution to prosecute the crime of embezzlement 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.
What do you do with the money," Sobchak asked.
"These things were handed over when I was dismissed as the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Seagull car is still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I paid for a few of my favorite watches and other things, and the rest was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as for those carpets, part of them were used for the decoration of the villas of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and some of them were used for the decoration of the office space" Chulbanov said truthfully, he was telling the truth, because he did not expect that he would one day be dismissed by Andropov, So a lot of things are recorded in the public accounts, Chulbanov felt that sooner or later the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs would be his, and there was no difference between being recorded in the public accounts and private use, as for those watches, Andropov was engaged in anti-corruption at the beginning, but Chulbanov was scared half to death, plus he had a lot of money with Seryo at that time, so he simply paid for a few yuan that he liked, and the rest were left in the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This saved Chulbanov's life.
After listening to Chulbanov's account, Sobchak nodded with satisfaction, since it was all left to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it would be difficult to establish this charge.
Sobchak then asked about the abuse of power.
He asked Chubanov: "When you were the first minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you called on the engineering units of the border guards to build luxurious villas and mansions for the senior leaders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what do you explain about this?"
"Professor Sobchak, you also said that I was the first deputy minister at that time, and my boss was Minister Sholokov, how dare I without the approval of his old man, and how could I mobilize the border guards."
Chulbanov said with a sincere face, Sobchak glanced at Chulbanov, he didn't expect that this guy was still a caring person, and Xiaolokov had already been discredited in Andropov's anti-corruption campaign and committed suicide by drinking bullets.
Blaming the fault on the dead is also considered his Chulbanov clever.
Now there is the most fatal charge left, the crime of unknown origin of a huge amount of property.
Sobchak asked again: "How are you going to explain to the judge the huge wealth you have now, if you don't give convincing reasons, then this lawsuit will not be a good one."
"I earned all this money after I left public office and went to the sea to do business," Chulbanov replied.
"What kind of business," Sobchak asked again.
"The import and export business is to help the Mediterranean Trading Company to purchase or distribute goods," Chulbanov said.
Sobchak glanced at Chulbanov, and he did not continue to ask, an answer that did not satisfy either Sobchak or the judge.
Although many people have taken advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune since the beginning of the reform, these people have been involved in some illegal acts to a greater or lesser extent.
It was too difficult for Chulbanov to fully explain the source of his wealth.
Sobchak and Chulbanov exchanged the transcripts and left the Silent Prison for Sailors.
He got in the car and went back to his office in Moscow.
Then Seryosha's personal phone number was dialed.
"The prosecution wants to implicate the Mediterranean Trading Company for the crime of unknown origin of a huge amount of property."
Sobchak said on the phone.
"What am I supposed to do," Seryosha said directly.
"You have to have evidence that Chulbanov's property is legitimate," Sobchak said.
"Okay, I see," Seryosha said and hung up the phone, he understood what Professor Sobchak meant, that is, the Mediterranean Trading Company wanted to endorse most of Chulbanov's property, and he had to forge a reasonable company account for Chulbanov.
This matter is not difficult for Seryosha at all, after working in the money laundering industry for so many years, this is not a piece of cake.
So Seryosha obtained the accounts of the seized company under Chulbanov's name through the KGB, and according to this account, Seryosha recreated an account belonging to the Mediterranean Trading Company that corresponded to this account, even if the prosecutor finally found the Mediterranean Trading Company, it would not matter, with this account, the Mediterranean Trading Company could clear its suspicions.
At that time, neither the accusations against Chulbanov nor the accusations against the Zizhonghai Trading Company will be established.
A few days later, the account was placed in the database of the Mediterranean Trading Company, quietly awaiting access by the prosecution. t1706231537:
