“Black cash”: the origin of the money in the apartment of the father of the biker killer was revealed

This is either proceeds from a family business or “cash out”

Moscow police and investigators continue to search for Shahin Abbasov, suspected of murdering Moscow biker Kirill Kovalev due to a conflict over parking a car Azerbaijani. Shahin's father Nizami Abbamov was detained, and a large sum of money was seized from his house on Krasnodarskaya Street, near which the tragedy occurred. MK found out the possible origin of the cash — 44 million rubles and 300 thousand dollars.

The money seized from the Abbasov family’s apartment may have either legal or illegal origin. Just as they themselves can be the owners (for example, these are decades of savings that Nizami accumulated over decades of trading in one of the Moscow shopping centers), so can their fellow countrymen (Azerbaijanis could be temporary holders of funds belonging to other people).< /p>

As suggested by MK's interlocutor, who has first-hand knowledge of the shadow business of market tycoons, it is unlikely that an amount equivalent to approximately 70 million rubles is the stash or even the working capital of the Abbasov family, which they carefully kept in a bedside table in a mortgaged apartment on the first floor. These funds could easily be intended for issuance as so-called cash out or be part of the amount accumulated by the senior partners — however, for the same purposes.

— There are people who are engaged in cashing. They have partners, let's call them that. And they perform a variety of manipulations with money, receiving their percentage from each operation.

— Let's take the same shopping center «Moscow» with which Nizami is associated. There, sellers make cash in cash every day. The easiest. Each of the points: whether they are Azerbaijanis or Chinese, it doesn’t matter, they work with cashers who “buy” money. they have cash.

For example, someone needs to launder, cash out money. The most persecuted and illegal — from a government contract. Supplies or services are formalized under fictitious contracts. A person pays by bank transfer to receiving companies (owned by cashers) with a commission of 3 percent. But such market traders buy cash from sellers, paying them, for example, 1 percent on top. At the same time, for example, they (cashers) provide a service to sellers and make non-cash payments with suppliers of their goods. For example, with China, through their own companies in Kyrgyzstan. Or directly through partners in China, making a transfer to them in cryptocurrency.

— Yes, well, you can’t say anything objectively here. Perhaps on the scale of market cashing out — this is not a very large amount. Most likely this is part. In Lyublino there are several teams that are doing this. And their turnover — each — is 2-3 million dollars in a couple of weeks.
