Shepelev Alexander Aleksandrovich - Ukrainian politician, member of the party "Fatherland". Known due to a number of frauds associated with the stolen banks. For today is on the run. But even so, he is one of the most successful scammers in Ukraine, who managed to steal from the people more than 300 million hryvnia.

Alexander Shepelev: biography

Alexander Alexandrovich Shepelev was born in Donetsk on July 4, 1970. All his childhood passed in this city. Higher economic education. Before joining the party, he did not have an official job.

In April 2006 he made his way to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the political force "Fatherland". At the next parliamentary elections held in 2007, she receives an official victory over the multi-mandate state district from the Yulia Tymoshenko bloc .

In March 2011, he moved to the feuding faction "Party of Regions". But after a year he throws it. In the next election, he tries to go through a single-seat constituency, but in the end he does not gain 1% of the vote.

In July 2013, Alexander Shepelev falls into the international wanted list, under art. 191 part 5 (embezzlement of public funds in especially large amounts). Soon he was arrested by Interpol and deported to Ukraine. In July 2014, he makes a successful escape to Russia, where he is today.

First capital

To begin with, Alexander Shepelev initially had a good "platform" for the start. His stepfather Vladimir Kuznetsov served as head of the Office for Combating Organized Crime. In the common people it was called a "street storm", because both the domestic gopniki and local businessmen were afraid to contact him. Returning to the past, it should be noted that Rinat Akhmetov began to "increase" his capital just under the reliable cover of Vladimir Kuznetsov.

Naturally, the money and the influence of his stepfather helped Alexander Shepelev quickly get to his feet. Together with his crony friend Pavel Borulko in the early 90's he organized a conversion syndicate. Simply put, they started laundering money for various financial structures. It turned out they had it masterfully. Therefore, the number of those wishing to use their services with each passing day only increased.

Thus, by the 2000s, friends had made a decent fortune. However, they did not want to stop at what they had achieved.

On the bloody tracks

It is quite difficult to track all the scams that these guys turned in the 90's. First, they acted very cautiously. Secondly, they were assisted by some law enforcement officers. Therefore, under the official sight of the investigators, the friends came only in the summer of 2003.

Pavel Borulko was to blame for this. In early 2003, a serious conflict arose between him and the chairman of AvtoKrazBank Sergei Kirichenko. Former partners could not share $ 2 million. Soon unknown strangled Kirichenko in the entrance of his house. All indirect evidence pointed to the involvement of Borulko in this murder, but they were not enough to pass judgment.

In 2005, Pavel appeared in the next criminal case. This time everything revolves around the mysterious death of the owner of Intercontinentbank Igor Pluzhnikov. After the death of the entrepreneur, his offspring was on the verge of bankruptcy. Three other banks took care of him, one of them, by the way, was managed by Alexander Shepelev.

As a result, Intercontinentbank was completely plundered. Deceived investors tried to get their money back through the court, but it did not bring a positive result. Since the guarantor banks reliably covered their rear, covering debts to the state with illiquid securities. Naturally, everyone knew who was behind all these scams, but the lack of evidence allowed them to get away with justice with impunity.

Moving to the capital

In 2005, Shepelev decides to expand the sphere of influence and opens in Kiev a branch of his bank, Doncreditinvest. At the first stages of construction the businessman faced a number of problems. It was impossible to solve them without the intervention of the capital's elite. Therefore, he shamelessly captures a certain Nicholas Suprun - head of the economic division of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Then everything goes according to the prepared template. In the center of Kiev he is given a comfortable room, formerly owned by the bank "Ukraine". Employees are hired, assets are created, and a few months later the financial institution opens the doors for all comers. At the same time, the grief-bankers do not care at all about the fact that they illegally seized part of the dwelling yard together with the children's playground.

Alexander Shepelev - deputy

The case with his own bank opened Shepelev's eyes. He realized that without the necessary connections and influence to survive in the capital is simply impossible. Therefore, the banker decides on a radical step - go to politics. The only problem was that the forthcoming elections were to be held only in 2007.

However, there was a way out. For a small amount of material support, in the amount of $ 10 million, the party "Fatherland" gladly accepted a new member. And in 2006 the political world learns that Alexander Shepelev is Tymoshenko's companion. Then the deputy was presented as the most honest person who with all his heart and soul for the development of Ukraine.

In practice, Shepelev enjoyed the deputy power only for mercenary purposes. He was not expelled from the party simply because he was doing dirty work for her. For example, skilfully disguised accounts of deputies, laundered money and solved technical issues. In addition, in 2007, he still went to parliament in a multi-mandate constituency.

The first failure

Due to a small conflict with the opposition, in 2006 Alexander Shepelev fell out of favor with influential people. Soon, his biography begins to be checked by law enforcement agencies. This leads to the emergence of unpleasant facts for politics.

In particular, a special resonance is gaining business related to fraud in the bank "Doncreditinvest". At first, Shepelev wanted to bribe the investigation, but on his way stands an employee of the UBOP Roman Erokhin. He basically does not take money from the corrupt deputy, for which he pays his own life.

As for Alexander Shepelev, he again comes out of the water. Despite the fact that all the perpetrators of the killing of the policeman were caught, the matter did not move from the dead center.

Main policy error

In 2008, Alexander Shepelev launches a new scam. More precisely, everything happens according to the old scenario, but already with another financial organization called "Rodovid Bank". As before, the owner of the bank is in trouble, after which the institution is on the verge of collapse. In order to protect depositors' investments, the state appoints a new leadership headed by none other than Alexander Shepelev.

But as before, no one was going to save the "sinking ship". Pumping out all the assets from him, the rescue team decided to leave quietly. However, a puncture occurred. The main witness in this case survived after the unsuccessful attempt and decided to give evidence. After this, a slow but irrevocable trial of all the guilty began.

Flight of a deputy

To unravel the tangled tangle of frauds on "Rodovid Bank" was obtained only in March 2013. Then it became clear to everyone that the brain of the whole scam is Alexander Shepelev. The photo, now a criminal, is being sent to Interpol. After all, as it turned out, the politician was very clever and fled the country before the signing of the warrant.

In June of the same year, the international police arrested Alexander Shepelev in Hungary. On the same day he was deported to his homeland. However, less than a month passed, as the former politician arranged his own escape from the hospital. After that, it disappears on the vast expanses of Russia. Found it only in the spring of 2015.

To date, Alexander Shepelev is under the supervision of Russian law enforcement agencies. At home, he is charged with accusations of contract murder, attempted murder, as well as the embezzlement of public funds on a particularly large scale.
