[00:03:01] Hello, the correspondents of the "Duty Unit" program and I, Maxim
[00:03:05] Movchan, will tell you about the main legal events of the day.
[00:03:08] 111 people who allegedly traded weapons on the
[00:03:12] black market were detained as a result of a large-scale operation by employees of the
[00:03:15] Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, and Rosgvardiya. When the first
[00:03:19] suspects fell into the hands of law enforcement, their probable accomplices sensed something was wrong, some
[00:03:22] tried to hide, but it didn't help. The SWAT team worked
[00:03:25] harshly.
[00:03:32] In such a situation, there was no need to persuade the detainee to lie on the asphalt for long.
[00:03:36] Evidence was found immediately in the trunk of the SUV. But this is minor compared
[00:03:39] to how much was seized from other underground gunsmiths.
[00:03:43] You can't hide something like this. This man, out of despair, almost threw an automatic rifle out of
[00:03:47] the window. And here are a Makarov pistol and an AK-74, which had to be
[00:03:50] dug up first to be seized. The list of weapons turned out to be
[00:03:53] impressive.
[00:03:56] 11 grenade launchers, four submachine guns, six
[00:04:00] machine guns, one assault rifle, 74
[00:04:03] automatic rifles, 77 pistols and revolvers,
[00:04:06] 124 rifles, carbines and shotguns, as well as
[00:04:09] 223 grenades, 82.5 kg of explosives
[00:04:12] and 92,000 rounds of various calibers, and the activities of
[00:04:15] 37 underground workshops were suppressed.
[00:04:18] In them, weapons were manufactured and
[00:04:21] modernized, deactivated signal samples were
[00:04:25] converted into combat weapons, and
[00:04:28] ammunition was produced for further
[00:04:31] sale. The criminal network operated throughout
[00:04:34] the country; arrests took place in forty regions. Now, law enforcement will likely
[00:04:38] have questions for the buyers who managed to acquire goods from black
[00:04:42] gunsmiths. Three more defendants in the high-profile criminal case of the
[00:04:45] extortionist taxi driver gang will go on trial. The alleged leaders of the
[00:04:49] organized criminal community, Alexey Kabochkin, Sergey Rapetov, and
[00:04:53] Alexander Troshin, are accused of leading and participating in an organized crime group. In total,
[00:04:57] according to investigators, the group included 44 people.
[00:05:00] It has been established that the defendants looked out for people in uniform who were returning home from
[00:05:04] the SVO zone and fraudulently extorted large sums of money from them. Sometimes,
[00:05:08] a trip within Moscow cost servicemen up to 200,000 rubles.
[00:05:12] At the same time, drivers named the price only after the arrival and demanded payment,
[00:05:16] threatening violence. It happened that the attackers gained the trust of their clients,
[00:05:20] treated them to alcohol, and then withdrew money from their
[00:05:23] bank cards. It's interesting that the accomplices developed a
[00:05:26] fraudulent scheme with various departments:
[00:05:29] beggars, taxi drivers, athletes, each of whom
[00:05:33] performed their functions in this scheme. I note that in May of this
[00:05:36] year, the court already announced the first verdicts in this high-profile case: four taxi drivers
[00:05:40] were given sentences from 10 to 17 years in
[00:05:43] prison.
[00:05:45] They study contracts and manuscripts literally by molecules and can, with
[00:05:48] the highest degree of accuracy, determine the authenticity of a document or
[00:05:52] establish authorship. Employees of the Federal Center for
[00:05:55] Laboratory Expertise under the Ministry of Justice are engaged in
[00:05:58] complex and painstaking work. Their research exposes forgeries and
[00:06:02] puts an end to disagreements about important documents.
[00:06:05] The Minister of Justice, Konstantin Chuichenko, assessed the center's capabilities.
[00:06:08] Report by Galina Khungureeva.
[00:06:12] A two-century-old manuscript was literally analyzed at a molecular level, establishing
[00:06:16] that the lines, "I write to you, what more could I ask for," on the yellowed paper
[00:06:19] were indeed written by the hand of Alexander Pushkin. The manuscript was
[00:06:23] discovered in a country house by a resident of the Kaliningrad region. The authorship
[00:06:26] was established by specialists from the Federal Center for Forensic Expertise under
[00:06:30] the Ministry of Justice of Russia. We conducted research on the ink composition,
[00:06:33] confirming that such ink was indeed used at that time. Colleagues
[00:06:37] visited the Russian Museum and took
[00:06:41] samples. of the modern laboratory
[00:06:42] complex,
[00:06:47] specialists led by the Minister of Justice Konstantin
[00:06:50] Chuichenko demonstrated to the President of the Russian
[00:06:53] Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov. Guests were shown the most
[00:06:57] sought-after types of forensic examinations. Specialists receive
[00:07:00] wills, powers of attorney, lease agreements, or
[00:07:03] sales contracts. Excise stamps, passports, driver's
[00:07:07] licenses, banknotes, diplomas, medical books - this is far from the entire
[00:07:11] list of documents and signs, the authenticity of which, or vice versa,
[00:07:14] falsification, is confirmed by the center's employees. One of the most
[00:07:17] common methods is morphing, when two
[00:07:20] different photos are generated into one image
[00:07:24] and pasted into a document. Then specialists compare
[00:07:27] the position of the eyes, eyebrows, and hairline. They conduct
[00:07:31] research not only with modern equipment but also with precious
[00:07:35] stones. A collection of 11 diamonds, from pure white to a stone with
[00:07:38] a yellowish tint, allows the color of the incoming stone to be determined.
[00:07:44] To match colors precisely by gradation, so that they accurately
[00:07:47] hit the color, this is the result of a lot of
[00:07:50] hard work. Who approaches you for diamond
[00:07:54] expertise? Mostly, of course, it's our state
[00:07:56] assignment, yes, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs,
[00:07:59] the FSB, the Investigative Committee. We are the only ones in Russia
[00:08:03] who have state certification. First
[00:08:06] of all, of course, they determine whether the stone is synthetic or natural.
[00:08:09] If its natural origin is confirmed, then...
[00:08:59] Well, depending on the material, the quality, the volume of the material, but in general, it can all be done within 24 hours, because
[00:09:03] now the technologies and methods that are used are
[00:09:06] quite advanced. The internet is developing, technologies are developing,
[00:09:09] criminal activity is developing.
[00:10:25] In addition, for 27 years he was the rector of one of the leading universities
[00:10:29] of the Far East. But instead of fighting for the light of knowledge,
[00:10:32] Lazarev allegedly did everything to make the university's life as difficult
[00:10:35] as possible. The materials of the criminal case indicate that he formed
[00:10:38] a group that cunningly illegally transferred the university's
[00:10:41] real estate to his companies, and then forced the educational institution
[00:10:45] to pay millions for the rent of these very premises. When the investigation
[00:10:48] of the entire Lazarev business empire began, property totaling more than
[00:10:52] 2 billion rubles was seized. And now what used to belong to
[00:10:55] Vladivostok State University has been returned to it. These are 20
[00:10:59] facilities, including academic buildings, dormitories, and a sports complex.
[00:11:03] Lazarev's case continues to be heard in
[00:11:05] court.
[00:11:08] Hitting the bullseye is worth a lot. In Kazan, archery competitions for the
[00:11:11] Russian Prosecutor General's Cup have begun. Almost 600 athletes from 48
[00:11:15] regions of the country are participating in the competitions. The head of the supervisory agency took part in the solemn opening
[00:11:18] ceremony. Almaza Khakimov has the story.
[00:11:21] Хакимову.
[00:11:25] Gracefully cutting through the air, the arrow hits the target precisely.
[00:11:29] International Master of Sports and European Champion Darya
[00:11:32] Trofimova tests the first specialized archery center in
[00:11:35] Tatarstan. This is a great achievement, in
[00:11:39] general, for all of us who are involved in archery, because
[00:11:43] it opens up great opportunities. You can
[00:11:46] train all year round at Olympic distances,
[00:11:50] many people can
[00:11:52] shoot simultaneously.
[00:12:00] Igor Krasnov, the main advantage of the new arena, is its
[00:12:03] area. It replaced the previous sports school hall, which was only 6
[00:12:07] meters wide. The scale of the Center is truly impressive; it is comparable to
[00:12:10] a professional football field, but here they will not be kicking a ball. This
[00:12:14] arena has all the conditions for archers according to world
[00:12:17] standards. For example, the distance between the target and the
[00:12:21] athlete is 70 meters. The largest center will allow
[00:12:24] it to host international tournaments and national championships. The finished
[00:12:28] complex was opened by the Prosecutor General of Russia, Alexander Gutsan. He
[00:12:32] wished the young athletes confidence in every shot
[00:12:35] and impeccable accuracy. This event marks a new stage
[00:12:39] in the development of this
[00:12:42] ancient sport. It is no
[00:12:44] coincidence that it precedes
[00:12:47] the юбилейный fifth all-Russian archery tournament
[00:12:50] for the Prosecutor General's
[00:12:54] Cup. I sincerely believe
[00:12:57] and am confident that it is here that new stars of world-class
[00:13:00] sports and global
[00:13:04] magnitude will rise. Kazan will host the World Nomad Games in 2 years.
[00:13:07] Archery is one of the main disciplines of
[00:13:10] the tournament, noted the head of Tatarstan. We
[00:13:13] consistently implement plans to create conditions for
[00:13:17] mass and professional sports.
[00:13:19] Archery is a sport that requires concentration,
[00:13:23] endurance, and precision. It builds character,
[00:13:26] teaches you to set goals and achieve
[00:13:29] them. To achieve archery goals in
[00:13:32] Kazan, 600 participants from 48 regions of the country came to the all-Russian competitions for
[00:13:36] the Prosecutor General's Cup. The youngest archer is 14
[00:13:40] years old; they trained all summer. Teams from Karelia,
[00:13:43] Ingushetia, and the Amur region participated in the competitions for the first time. The Prosecutor General's Cup
[00:13:47] is a very interesting start, a lot of interesting things are given there, you can see a lot of things.
[00:13:50] Colorful and impressive, the best young archers
[00:13:55] with flags of their regions enter the field of the largest
[00:13:59] football stadium in Kazan.
[00:14:01] Казани.
[00:14:05] The Prosecutor General of Russia wished the participants a steady hand
[00:14:08] and the right direction for their arrows. During this time, as you
[00:14:12] know, the tournament ceased to be just a competition for awards; it
[00:14:16] became a reliable stepping stone to big sports, a true
[00:14:19] training ground for the Russian national
[00:14:22] team. This is a living
[00:14:25] history of friendship and success, which we
[00:14:29] are all writing together: organizers,
[00:14:32] judges, coaches, parents,
[00:14:35] fans, and of course, you, our
[00:14:39] young sports talents. The finalists of the competition
[00:14:42] will get a chance to join the national team. In 5 days, archers will have to
[00:14:46] hit more than 700 targets, firing over 100,000
[00:14:49] arrows. For many peoples living
[00:14:53] on our Russian
[00:14:55] land, in particular, for the Tatar people, archery has always been
[00:14:58] an organic part of culture, family
[00:15:01] traditions - national competitions.
[00:15:05] Tatarstan pays special attention to the development of this
[00:15:08] sport. The finals and awards ceremony will take place on
[00:15:12] Friday. Almaz Khakimov, Alexey Urazakin, Alkhalzipov, Vesti.
[00:15:16] Duty Unit. The Deputy Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia,
[00:15:19] Head of the Main Military Investigative Directorate Konstantin Korpus in video conference
[00:15:23] mode conducted a repeated personal reception of family members of
[00:15:26] servicemen, including participants in the special military operation,
[00:15:29] living in one of the military towns of the Leningrad region. In April
[00:15:33] of this year, people complained to the head of the GVSU about the quality of
[00:15:38] housing and communal services, as well as the overall dilapidated state of the houses.
[00:15:41] Military investigators reacted immediately: two houses were declared
[00:15:44] unfit for habitation and residents were relocated. In addition, the
[00:15:48] military town was prepared for the heating season and the quality of
[00:15:52] utility services was significantly improved.
[00:15:54] I lived in the village of Pizhma, now I live in the military
[00:15:58] town of Vayalovo. I'm satisfied with
[00:16:01] what happened. It's good that the Investigative
[00:16:04] Committee solved our problem.
[00:16:07] Also, residents were issued a recalculation of utility service fees for a total
[00:16:11] amount of about one million
[00:16:13] rubles.
[00:16:20] In the Vladimir region, a moose that ran out onto the road caused a serious
[00:16:24] accident. The animal jumped out right in front of the car. The driver and passenger were injured,
[00:16:27] the moose died, and the car was mangled. In recent weeks,
[00:16:31] several such accidents have occurred, partly due to the rut:
[00:16:35] males can mistake a car for a rival. How to avoid an accident
[00:16:38] with wild animals, what safety measures road workers should take, and
[00:16:42] who is responsible after a collision, Andrei
[00:16:45] Romanov investigated. My door doesn't
[00:16:48] open, the interior is covered in broken glass,
[00:16:52] hands and face are bloody. Immediately after the accident, the driver
[00:16:55] recounts how he miraculously survived a collision with a
[00:16:58] moose on the highway, specifically on
[00:17:01] the M12. It jumped right over the barrier, right
[00:17:04] at us. A moose, having jumped onto the high-speed highway, rammed
[00:17:08] one car with its antlers and ended up under the wheels of the next. Just
[00:17:12] now, the car flipped over the moose. Only the moose died in the accident,
[00:17:16] but the driver was also a hair's breadth from death. The antler
[00:17:19] broke off.
[00:17:22] It flew into the cabin. And these are the participants of that very accident. By afternoon they reached
[00:17:26] Moscow, calmed down. The driver shows the smashed car,
[00:17:29] the trophy antler, and recounts how the moose almost impaled him
[00:17:33] during the accident. Here, the ceiling was pierced by the antler.
[00:17:38] and the driver's seat, that is,
[00:17:41] literally, the antler went right here. He seems
[00:17:45] indignant at the unexpected appearance of the moose on the road, but by law,
[00:17:48] the one who was behind the wheel at the moment of the accident
[00:17:52] is automatically recognized as the culprit of collisions with animals. In recent weeks, Moscow and the region
[00:17:55] have experienced a peak in encounters with elk. In autumn,
[00:17:59] the males are in rut, they behave unusually actively, and can travel
[00:18:02] more than 100 km a day. They are looking for a mate and feel no
[00:18:06] danger, even when they wander into the outskirts of the city and
[00:18:09] find themselves in the middle of busy road traffic.
[00:18:13] Moose, oh my god, and I have to turn now, and he seems
[00:18:17] to too. Moose can stand in the middle of the road for a long time
[00:18:20] or unexpectedly come out onto the road from the forest. My husband says, "Look," I
[00:18:24] raise my eyes, he starts braking sharply. At first
[00:18:27] I didn't understand what was happening, and then I saw a moose slowly and smoothly
[00:18:31] emerge from the forest. These encounters are especially dangerous
[00:18:34] on high-speed highways; the shoulder on such roads
[00:18:38] should be fenced with a special animal mesh, but in practice,
[00:18:41] fences are not everywhere. In some places, they are damaged by the
[00:18:45] animals themselves and fallen trees. Often on highways, according
[00:18:48] to experts, overtly
[00:18:51] low-quality fences are found. In relation to the M-12, for
[00:18:54] example, the prosecutors of several
[00:18:57] constituent entities of the federation directly made claims
[00:19:00] to Avtodor, to the builders of this
[00:19:04] highway, because animal
[00:19:08] barriers were installed that did not meet existing standards. Therefore,
[00:19:11] in my opinion, the road workers are primarily to blame, and only then
[00:19:14] the drivers. And drivers who find themselves in such a situation, I hope, will
[00:19:18] file lawsuits against the road owners, those who
[00:19:21] maintain them, if there is anyone to sue. Accidents involving
[00:19:25] moose, according to experts, always result in the most severe
[00:19:29] consequences. Animals on thin legs weighing up to
[00:19:32] half a ton, the center of gravity is exactly at the level of the windshield.
[00:19:36] In accidents, the carcass often ends up in the cabin. Also, the driver
[00:19:40] instinctively tries to bypass the obstacle, and the main impact usually
[00:19:43] falls on the passenger's side. After an accident with
[00:19:46] wild animals, injuries are usually
[00:19:49] incompatible with
[00:19:52] life, or if a person survives, it
[00:19:56] means compression fractures, internal organ
[00:19:59] ruptures. That is why when you see a sign, even if
[00:20:02] the roadside is fenced, you should slow down. There are no
[00:20:06] guarantees that a moose will not jump onto the road.
[00:20:08] никаких.
[00:20:11] OSAGO doesn't cover such accidents, and all wild animals are state
[00:20:15] property. In case of an accident involving them, you will have to
[00:20:19] pay compensation to the treasury. If a moose is
[00:20:22] injured in an accident, you will have to compensate 80,000
[00:20:25] rubles. For a wild boar, 30-40, for
[00:20:28] a roe deer. The cheapest are wolves and foxes, 200 rubles
[00:20:32] per individual. Car repairs and treatment in case of injuries,
[00:20:35] of course, have to be paid out of your
[00:20:38] own pocket. Oh, my goodness,
[00:20:41] thank God, the problem of animals appearing on busy
[00:20:44] highways could be partially solved by eco-ducts, which are bridges for
[00:20:47] animal migration, built
[00:20:51] over the highway. Instead of asphalt, there is earth and
[00:20:53] vegetation, a complete imitation of the natural habitat. In
[00:20:57] Russia there are now more than 250 such
[00:20:59] structures, but not everywhere animals willingly use these
[00:21:03] eco-crossings; they are scared away by car noise, they take a long
[00:21:07] time to get used to new structures. Everything about the habits
[00:21:10] of moose is known at the Sumorokovskaya moose farm in
[00:21:13] Kostroma region. Here they care for them like their own
[00:21:16] children, observe their migration and even track
[00:21:20] the movement of moose by geolocation. Our
[00:21:23] moose, those born and raised during the farm's existence, number over
[00:21:26] 1,300 individuals.
[00:21:29] They never get hit by cars and never did, because they are not afraid of
[00:21:33] machinery. Every day, a tractor brings them branches as supplementary feed,
[00:21:36] they are well familiar with this. Such
[00:21:39] well-behaved moose are few; most are still
[00:21:42] wild and unpredictable, like the one that ran onto the road in
[00:21:46] the Vladimir region. I believe that we got off very lightly and...
[00:22:20] Vladimir Zelensky removed Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan
[00:22:23] Kravchenko from office. The media writes that he allegedly protected fraudulent
[00:22:27] call centers in the country, which defraud a huge number of
[00:22:30] Russians, among others. The storm in the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office erupted quite
[00:22:34] predictably; the clouds thickened back on September 6, when a court in Kyiv
[00:22:37] arrested Ruslan Kravchenko's high-ranking subordinate, Prosecutor Sergey
[00:22:41] Korpeva. According to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of
[00:22:44] Ukraine, he helped fraudulent call centers and laundered more than 170
[00:22:47] million, converted to rubles. So Kravchenko, apparently, was implicated in
[00:22:51] covering for these criminals. He himself, of course, called his dismissal
[00:22:55] political and attacked the leadership of anti-corruption
[00:22:58] structures. Let me remind you, all this is happening against the background of Operation Carthage
[00:23:01] against a network of fraudulent call centers in Ukraine, the start of which was announced
[00:23:05] in early September.
[00:23:08] Survive against the storm. An American
[00:23:11] teenager fought against the icy elements for two days and waited for rescue in
[00:23:15] the Bering Sea. The fishermen's boat capsized in bad weather. Everyone died,
[00:23:18] except for the fifteen-year-old boy. He was only accidentally spotted by sailors
[00:23:22] from a passing ship. Word to Dmitry
[00:23:24] Chernousov:
[00:23:27] In the azure icy waters of the Bering Sea, on an overturned boat, a fifteen-year-old teenager
[00:23:30] is holding on with his last strength. Footage of the miraculous rescue was shot by
[00:23:34] members of an American fishing vessel's crew, who just happened to be
[00:23:38] nearby. Sit there, don't move,
[00:23:42] stay on the boat. In this position, on the hull of the overturned
[00:23:45] boat, he drifted for almost two days. It was especially difficult
[00:23:49] to stay on the vessel at night, with waves, wind, and
[00:23:52] water that barely reached 10°. The dramatic rescue
[00:23:55] operation unfolded approximately 6.5 km from St.
[00:23:58] Lawrence Island in Alaska.
[00:24:02] The crew members threw a rope to the poor fellow, with which he managed to pull the boat
[00:24:06] closer to the ship. One of the men descended to the water in a special rescue
[00:24:10] basket and lifted the young man onto the board. The teenager was severely
[00:24:13] hypothermic and barely
[00:24:14] moving.
[00:24:18] It turned out that the young man was the only survivor.
[00:24:50] All of them fell into the water, after Derek lost his brother, and
[00:24:53] then his second cousin, who tried to swim to
[00:24:57] shore on his own. Rescuers noted the boy's special resilience and composure in an extreme
[00:25:01] situation. A similar story of miraculous survival recently happened in the Sea of Okhotsk.
[00:25:04] In August 2024, Mikhail Pichugin,
[00:25:07] along with his brother and nephew, set off on a catamaran from Cape Perovsky in
[00:25:11] the Khabarovsk Territory towards the northern part of Sakhalin Island. A few
[00:25:15] days later, the boat's engine broke down and the catamaran began to drift
[00:25:18] uncontrollably. Mikhail's nephew died of hypothermia
[00:25:21] and exhaustion, later his brother Sergey Pichugin died. Mikhail
[00:25:25] survived, but investigators had questions for him. He was found guilty of
[00:25:28] violating navigation safety rules and operating marine transport,
[00:25:32] which negligently caused the death of two persons, and was sentenced to 3 years of forced
[00:25:36] labor. It is not excluded that American law enforcement agencies may have questions
[00:25:40] for the survivor, Derek Parker. This is an amazing
[00:25:44] opportunity to survive in completely inhuman
[00:25:47] conditions, because near Alaska, in the Bering Sea,
[00:25:51] the water temperature is +10°. A very important
[00:25:54] moment for him was that he was wearing a yellow jacket. Thanks to this
[00:25:58] bright item, he could be found and identified. The family of the rescued boy has already
[00:26:02] expressed special thanks to the crew of the fishing vessel, who
[00:26:06] did not stand aside. Now the teenager is gradually recovering,
[00:26:09] recuperating at home, however, it is unlikely that the young man will leave sea excursions
[00:26:13] in the past, fishing for him is not just a hobby, but a source
[00:26:16] of life and income. The main thing is that this story does not happen
