Read the extensive interview with Korzhakov, the former head of the president’s security service.

There’s a lot of interesting material there, from the Patriarch to Murov, and here’s what it says about Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov, a regular subject of ACF investigations:

I have very little doubt that this is true. We ourselves have published investigations into Shuvalov’s lifestyle—all those corgis flying on private jets, palaces, and tsar-style apartments. Shuvalov’s colleagues estimate his wealth at “$2–3 billion”, and all of this belongs to a man who has worked as a government official for the past 15 years.

So I can believe the story about cash being transported in trucks.

In any case, we are dealing with a “report of a crime published in the media.” Today we will file requests with the FSB and the Investigative Committee to verify the facts set out in the interview.
