Biography of Vasya Bandita

He began his criminal activity in his hometown of Podolsk, where in the end of the 10th he created one of the organized crime groups, which was engaged in robberies and robberies. Having strengthened, the group took up extortion with cooperators. Rumor has it that the “roof” from Vasya Bandit was the most reliable in Podolsk. Already at that time, Kokunov had good ties among thieves in the law of the Moscow region, and deducted considerable amounts of criminal providence in the thieves' common fund.

According to the source MZK1. When Kokunov was arrested and condemned for ten years for extortion in the year, he became a rather authoritative prisoner in the colony. His coronation could have passed in the zone, but after serving four years, Igor Kokunov was running from the Kirov colony. As far as is known, for 10 thousand rubles he bribed one of the guards of the prison department, which contributed to the escape.

Once at the illegal situation at large, Kokunov was able to get to Moscow, where, however, he did not particularly hide from law enforcement agencies. He often visited thieves' gatherings, which in those years were carried out with enviable constancy - there was a total redistribution of the territory, and Moscow was one of the main centers of this redistribution. Everyone who could.

Local groups have already gained strength in their areas and tried to take neighboring lands to their hands. And the gangs that stood in the regions sought to Moscow, since everything had already been controlled on their land, and Moscow seemed an endless goal where there was a place for everyone. As a rule, such vague gangs were in some extent more mercilessly than their Moscow colleagues, and were always frostbitten structures, not disdaining the murders of both thieves in law and ordinary people who became involuntary witnesses of reprisals.

However, he did not attribute himself to the gangs, so he got down with the thieves. One of his best friends was the Balashikha thief in law, Alexander Zakharov, nicknamed Shurik Zakhar. He contributed to the coronations of Kokunov, which took place in the year, on which the nickname Vasya Bandit was assigned behind the newly -minted thief. At that memorable gathering, Kokunov received a massive golden cross with diamonds from Shurik Zakhar as a gift, and an equally massive gold chain.

The thief in the law of Vasya Bandit illegal position did not prevent Kokunov from going to the Netherlands in Turbotevka together with Zakharov. As they talked, this country of thieves in law was chosen for rest not in vain - since Zakhar was addicted to the potion, and in Holland drugs could be bought on a completely legitimate basis. However, these are only the guesses of the security forces.

What exactly was done abroad Vasya Bandit and Shurik Zakhar is still unknown. But having returned to his homeland, Kokunov headed a criminal group, which began to put control of businessmen, displacing weaker criminal “roofs”. This can be judged by the fact that in a year he owned several apartments and cars in the capital. They say that the thief did not exchange along the little things - if he put under the roof, then only a large business, if he knocked out debts, then only large ones.

And Kokunov’s authority itself was weighing - he was put a curator from thieves in law for several Moscow and near Moscow groups. The thief in law Igor Kokunov-Vasya Bandit, the active criminal activity of Vasya Bandit, allowed the operatives to reach his trail in August. Police sources told the operas about where Igor Kokunov lives on the wanted list for the escape.

The capture group appeared in the indicated apartment, but there was no one in it. Then the same informant said that at the moment Vasya Bandit was driving around the capital in the Volvo car soon with the assistance of the traffic police, the police tracked the car, and at one of the intersections there was a detention of a thief in law while his car was in the red light of a traffic light.

The operating opera opened the doors of the car, and simply pulled Kokunov from the cabin, even broke the seat belt, which the thief was fastened to the chair. The following was followed by a series of searches in Moscow apartments, which belonged to Igor Kokunov. Many values ​​were seized, as well as cash. Igor Kokunov himself was sent back to the colony, from where he escaped, though not as simply an authoritative prisoner, but a full -fledged thief in law.

However, despite the special conditions of detention, Kokunov was free here. Once, by helicopter, Shurik Zakhar with authorities and the wife of Vasya Bandita, who staged gatherings, even flew to him. Seeing that Kokunov continues to gain influence in the White Lebed, he was transferred to one of the Omsk colonies. But here, the thief in law showed activity, which is why he was sent to the more isolated colony of Chrysostom, from where he was released in the year.

Dismantling in Belarus after release, Vasya Bandit already tried not to take personal participation in crimes. His authority was unshakable, so he ruled several organized crime groups at once in the Moscow region, coordinating their activities.However, Kokunov came to important arrows personally, where his word was always significant. However, despite his authority, an incident occurred with Kokunov in the year.

He bought a Mercedes supported by a resident of the Belarusian city of Novopolotsk Ruslan Ivashnev, who was engaged in auto -peregons of expensive foreign cars. The amount of the transaction was 11.5 thousand dollars. The intermediary, when selling, was the battalion, who looked after Novopolotsky. Everyone who was in a car, including a thief in law, was put on the asphalt under the muzzle of a machine gun.

We pierced the database - it turned out that this "Mercedes" in theft. However, they did not detain the thief in law, as he bought a car in Belarus without violating the law. The Biary attracted to this business of his assistant Alexander Mustafaev Mustafa. He had to recover from the seller of Mercedes 11.5 thousand dollars for the sold car, as well as 4 thousand dollars of the penalty.

However, Mustafa, out of selfish motives, wanted to receive no less from Ivashnev - 40 thousand dollars. To knock out such an amount, he attracted the scumbag Alexei Peklenkov, nicknamed Boav, who was engaged in robberies. Blagov lured Ivashnev into his garage, where he demanded 40 thousand dollars. He began to explain that the car was “clean”, and he would never have bred a thief.

But these arguments did not act either for the boa constrictor or Mustafa. They took 3 dollars from Ivashnev and his Range Rover. However, the victim of extortion turned to the looked at the battalion. Together with him, they appeared to Moscow to Biryukov, where they explained that the car was not in theft, and all this was a pure water provocation. Vladimir Biryukov was imbued with the situation, but he could not help, since Balashikha bandits were pressed against him because of this case, but he promised that they would not take more than 11.5 thousand dollars from Ivashnev.

After the visitor with the car, the Bier called Mustafa and said to leave Ivashnev alone. But Mustafaev was not going to do this. He continued to knock out the money from the victim. As a result, Vasya Bandit himself came to Minsk, who demanded all the same 11, 5 thousand dollars from Ruslan Ivashnev, plus another 2 thousand, which he supposedly had to pay in the police to let him go.

The battalion itself did not interfere against this situation. Ivashnev had no choice but to contact the police. But in the end, no one was involved in extortion, since there was not enough evidence. But the Mercedes was still confiscated, as he was listed as Interpol. He often visited Podolsk, where in the year he began to create a group from local "striving." All this did not go unnoticed by the police.

They quickly struck all participants in the created group, collecting the dossier for each.

A criminal case was instituted, but Kokunov was released on a recognizance not to leave. By the way, as it turned out, Mercedes Kokunov went to the businessman Sergei Ksenofontov, the owner and general director of PJSC First Moscow Factory, to whom the thief in law helped to resolve the conflict with the business partner. In addition to the donated car, Xenophon was obliged to pay Vasya to the bandit 10 thousand dollars monthly.

After some time, the amount increased to 25 thousand dollars. Money was transferred to Kokunov through his acquaintance “Soldier” by Dmitry Goldberg, who took another five thousand dollars from Ksenofontov for intermediaries. The thief in law Igor Kokunov-Vasya Bandit, but the investigators will find out about this later, but for now Vasya Bandit was under the subscription about the no to leave for his weapon.

True, this subscription for such a person did not mean anything. He left for Feodosia with Podolsky criminal authority Eduard Vardanyan. Both were listed by then in the wanted list for extortion and other crimes. On the territory of Ukraine, the authorities stayed for 3 months until September 7 was detained by local security forces right on the beach of Koktebel.

After 4 months, the extraction of authorities in Moscow followed. For two years, Kokunov and Vardanyan were under investigation in the pre -trial detention center until they were sentenced on September 9, each received 7 years in prison with a storage in a maximum security colony. Vasya Bandit was transferred to the Kirov colony already familiar to him from the previous imprisonment. In the year, Kokunov was freed from places of imprisonment.

But as it turned out for a short while. Such influential people in the criminal world, do not delay for a long time - commit the next crimes, or engage in their organization. So Igor Kokunov could not leave his lads idle. While he was serving his sentence, Sergey Ksenofontov continued to pay tribute to his lads monthly. And when Kokunov was freed, Ksenofontov wanted to talk with the thief about his further payments.

He wanted to get away from the criminal roof, and offered Vasya to the bandit one million dollars in order for his group to leave the businessman alone. But Kokunov was not going to part with such monthly payments for a million dollars.Through Goldberg, he handed over the condition of the businessman - three million dollars of robbery, or a thousand square meters of real estate, which belonged to Ksenofontov.

And Goldberg warned that if the businessman refuses, then the “soliper” and xenophores would be killed. It could mean a business collapse to part with business realistic, so Xenophonov made a counter offer-three business class apartments in the elite housing complex "Golden Meridian" in Sochi and one apartment in Moscow. Only here the businessman thought better of it. Sergei Ksenofontov turned to the police, writing about the major extortion of a group of thief in law.

First, Dmitry Goldberg was detained, who realized his unenviable position, began to cooperate with the investigation. Next was arrested by Igor Kokunov himself.
