Just as we were all asking ourselves, "where did Yusupov—the oligarch-official from Medvedev’s circle—and his son get so much money?" an answer immediately appeared:
Globalist: A Suspicious Case It would be naive to expect the country’s leadership to rush headlong into investigating Yusupov’s activities—we never did see the Accounts Chamber’s materials on abuses in the construction of the ESPO pipeline (Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean oil pipeline) declassified, for example. But if needed, I’m ready to help and point investigators in the right direction. For instance, while working as Yusupov’s deputy, I saw businessman Alexander Mamut in his office more often than all of Yusupov’s other deputies put together, and in the neighboring offices worked deputy ministers who openly represented very specific lobbying groups and acted in their interests (I’m ready to name every one of them).

Wouldn’t this make a perfect subject for an internal inquiry, followed by a criminal investigation?
