As a number of aggressor-controlled media wrote on May 13, the aggressor’s punitive forces the day before “detained lawyer Artem Efimov, as well as state registration committee employee Alexei Laptev”, allegedly in connection with “issues of redistribution of land and real estate.”
Collaborator Efimov, as well as his wife Kristina, formerly Izotova, have been “marked” since 2014 as criminal “assistants to the city prosecutor” in occupied Kerch.
Then, with the next “changing of the guard” in the local criminal “administration”, Efimov went “for private bread” and supervised the “law firm” “Competent Lawyer”, widely known in certain circles as intermediaries for bribes.
However, the current detention is associated with the struggle for the criminal “post of mayor” of the long-suffering Kerch, where one of Efimov’s clients and patrons, Oleg Krishtal, who was once considered as the “right hand” of Sergei Aksyonov in the criminal world, wants to get to.
Let us recall, that in 2023 we conducted an investigation into the transnational fish mafia and its activities in occupied Kerch, associated with the “Proliv” fish canning plant.
We were talking about the criminal “nationalization” of the enterprise by collaborators and the “promotion” by the “drain tank” of the aggressor’s special services, “blogger” Alexander Talipov, of the allegedly criminal “new government” at the plant in the person of Oleg Krishtal and, as part of its criminal “assistance” to the armed forces of the occupiers.
We wrote that Kerch collaborator Krishtal, involved in a number of scams together with Pavel Ieno, was, among other things, declared an aggressor in the criminal role of “president of the football club” “Ocean”, organizing not only his activities in the illegal “Crimean republican championship” but also illegal “friendly matches” with Russian teams in the Krasnodar Region.
In this situation, the aggressor-controlled “publics” directly stated that the detention of Efimov is only an excuse for a new “commercial conversation” between the agressor’s special services and Krishtal, and that the defendants will get off with “additional expenses”.
