You must never rest on your laurels. From 2013 to 2014, I ended up with three convictions. And now, it seems, after a short break, I’ll be continuing my criminal career.
Yet another defamation case over another completely innocent Rafik.
The complainant is former police officer Pavel Karpov, a figure on the Magnitsky List (a sanctions list tied to the Sergei Magnitsky case). Lately, it looks like he’s practically been hired for the job: he has just appeared as an “expert” in Dmitry Kiselyov’s film claiming that I am a CIA and MI6 spy. And now he’s running around demanding that criminal cases be opened against me, while his former colleagues are only too happy to oblige.
Officer Karpov really does not like this video:
And he considers my posting it on my blog to be defamation.
Indeed. It must be rather unpleasant to be reminded that you were a police major earning US$533 a month while in service, yet according to registry records:
Your family acquires an apartment in a luxury residential complex
Such “typical” cars for a police family as Mercedeses and Porsches appear
More land plots and more cars.
How do you explain where that money came from? You can’t.
And once you’ve been caught and can’t explain it, the only thing left is to run around demanding criminal cases against those who are not afraid to spread the truth.
But never mind—in a country where people are jailed for telling the truth, even a criminal record can be a fine list of distinctions.
P.S. I myself have learned about the criminal case, the inquiry, and everything else only from the media. No one has summoned me anywhere, notified me, or questioned me. As usual, really.
The statements contained in the video “Russian Untouchables 2. Pavel Karpov. (The Untouchables Caste)” alleging that: “Pavel Alexandrovich Karpov, personally or with the assistance of others, took part in the torture and murder of auditor S.L. Magnitsky in order to conceal his involvement in fraud against the Hermitage Fund”; “Pavel Alexandrovich Karpov participated in fraud and stole US$230 million from the Russian treasury, laundering the stolen funds through the purchase of movable and immovable property, including an apartment worth about US$1 million”; “Pavel Alexandrovich Karpov participated in the abduction of F.M. Mikheev for the purpose of extorting money and later, in order to cover up this fact, fabricated a criminal case against him and helped secure a sentence of lengthy imprisonment” were found by the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow, in its decision of March 10, 2015, to be untrue.
