Listen to audio files, submitted to Troika’s trial in Madrid in 2018.
Alexander Bastrykin got his appointment as head of the Russian Investigative Committee through the crime lord’s connections. The criminal community welcomed his promotion.
Officially, Bastrykin was appointed head of the newly established Investigative Committee by the Council of Federation on June 22, 2007.
At that time, the phone of Petrov was on tape. From the various conversations it is clear that, having secured Bastrykin’s and Bastrykin’s deputy appointments, Petrov was even helping them to free a good location for their office in Moscow, from previous tenants.
