Rucriminal.com provides its readers with a new piece of investigation materials about the murder of Mikhail Manevich, vice-governor of St. Petersburg, a close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. For 20 years no one has been brought to justice for this crime. Although almost everything was clear from the beginning. We do not make conclusions until now, suggesting that readers of Rucriminal.com themselves "play" with the investigators, from the mass of operative materials to add up a "puzzle" - to identify performers and "customers."

In the second part of the investigation we asked to pay attention to the employee of the North-Western Customs Igor Bondarenko. Testimony of witnesses and evidence, including the remains of gunpowder on clothes and microparticles from the attic, from where the fire was fired at Manevich, indicated that he was a participant in the crime. However, Bondarenko was simply taken out of business, condemning only for forgery of documents.

In the third part we ask to remember the version of the FSB that the murder is connected with the St. Petersburg seaport. Thus, the readers of Rucrimunal.com will already have two parts of the "puzzle". And by the end of all publications, it will develop completely.

With them, there were no things. Fellow travelers introduced themselves as residents of Ulyanovsk. As PAVLOVA understood, they went to St. Petersburg "to present someone a surprise."

In connection with the fact that these persons, in the opinion of the witness, could have been implicated in the murder of M. Maněvich, N. Pavlov. appealed to the Investigation Service and gave the testimony given.

Based on testimony PAVLOVOY N.N. Composite portraits of the above persons were compiled, and later these persons were established. This is MALAKHOV Vladimir Vladimirovich (born in 1965) and MATVEEV Vladimir Gennadievich (born in 1969), natives and residents of Ulyanovsk.

Thus, the Central Department of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg was detained with forged documents Mengunov Eugene Borisovich, born in 1961, a native of the Kalmyk ASSR, resembling one of the composite portraits. It is established that MENGUNOV took part in hostilities in the territory of Yugoslavia and, according to available information, is on the wanted list for committing grave crimes there. Within the framework of the criminal case, MENGUNOV held a complex of measures to verify his possible involvement in the murder of M. Manevich.

Circumstances that testify to the possible involvement of MENGUNOV, Malenkov and Bessmelny to commit a terrorist act against MANEVICH are not established.

Within the framework of the criminal case, which Rucriminаl.com has materials for, the signals about the participation in the commission of the terrorist act by the inhabitants of the Leningrad region Igor Vorobyev, born in 1970, and the words of Viktor A. SAMSONOV, born in 1956, who reported their complicity in the murder MANEVICH. It is established that their testimony does not correspond to reality.

At the same time, the fact of the crime SAMSONOV VG was established. and a criminal case was instituted against him and separated into a separate proceeding under Part 1 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The signal about involvement in the commission of the terrorist act of the so-called "Chechen group" was also worked out. In the process of working off this signal, he was detained for committing a crime under Part 1 of Art. 228 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, AMBROLADZE G.B.

In addition, two criminal cases were instituted and identified in connection with the commission of crimes under Part 1 of Art. 186 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The work on the case is conducted in the direction of checking the following version blocks:

- the murder of M. Manevich. completely for political reasons;

- The murder was committed by "hiring" in connection with the victim's official activities;

- The murder was committed by a person from among connections based on motives of a domestic or mercenary nature, as well as by a person prone to commit serious crimes;

- The murder was committed by mistake (error in the object).

The verification of these versions is conducted taking into account the identity of the victim.

MANEVICH Mikhail Vladislavovich, born in 1961, lived in a seven-room apartment at the address: ul. Rubinstein, house 15/17, kv ...., together with his wife (and for him and his wife this is the second marriage), adoptive son Artem, 198 ... year of birth, his wife's parents: Vasilyeva Tatyana Lvovna and Vasiliev Vladimir Ivanovich. At this address the victim was not registered and was listed at: St. Petersburg, ul. Замшина, the house 50, кв ... .., at parents of the first wife.

In 1993, M.Manevich, M.V. was appointed to the post of chairman of the KUGI, replacing Belyaev SG. Since 1996 - Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg and Chairman of the KUGI. He was curator of the property fund, land committee, bankruptcy committee, housing committee, urban management.

Versions that the murder may have been committed for political reasons are based on an objectively developing situation in 1997 in which the opposition forces actively oppose the policy of reform, including extremist individuals who do not view privatization as such organically. In St. Petersburg, the process of privatization was identified with the personality of MANEVICH. At the same time, the national factor could play a certain role. In this case, the murder of MANEVICH could pursue the goal of disrupting the reform policies pursued in the region.

Versions of the second block that the murder was committed by "hiring" in connection with the victim's official activities also have real grounds. Among the economic and privatization projects that MANEVICH dealt with were very conflict-related, involving large financial interests, and accordingly, there could be forces dissatisfied with the overall economic policy pursued by MANEVICH and his decisions on concrete objects of privatization.

In particular, the case on the murder of M. Manevich is still being processed. in connection with his policy with respect to the objects of the seaport. "
