The story of the search at Federal Customs Service chief Andrei Belyaninov’s home has taken a new turn: today he was dismissed.
The day before yesterday, everyone was astonished by the tens of millions of rubles found in official Belyaninov’s possession. In fact, there is nothing surprising about it. At the Anti-Corruption Foundation, we decided to take a closer look at how Andrei Belyaninov lives, and here is what we found:
Belyaninov owns a house with an area of 1,500 square meters and worth 200,000,000 rubles.
This video was filmed just an hour ago:
There is no way Andrei Belyaninov could have afforded a house like this on a civil servant’s salary over the years. At the same time, the head of the Federal Customs Service did not even particularly try to hide his enormous luxury mansion—he lived in it quite openly.
And yet, despite this house, despite the stacks of cash that the entire internet was talking about, today Belyaninov was simply dismissed without any investigation. How is that even possible? Very simple—they all live like this. Putin’s system of power rests on corruption, and all senior officials are blatant corrupt actors who no longer just steal, but do not even consider it necessary to hide what they have stolen.
