Journalist and presenter of the program - Eduard Petrov - for the first time on modern television investigates crimes according to the work pattern of the investigative group: collection of primary information; search and interview of victims, witnesses and eyewitnesses; testing different versions; search for evidence and refutation - for the first time, the viewer is given the opportunity to find out what the daily work of a crime reporter consists of.

Each episode tells about one criminal case, and not only about the crime itself, but also about how each journalistic investigation occurs, what the program’s reporters have to deal with every day. The broadcast is filmed by two cameras. One records the crime story itself, the second watches the journalists. Threats, attempts at bribery, chases, filming with a hidden camera - all this is the “kitchen” of the author’s program Eduard Petrov.

The program's journalists in no way claim to be the ultimate truth. They do not make accusations and do not defend anyone. To get to the bottom of the real reasons for a particular crime or phenomenon, to identify all possible versions, to look at the situation from different angles and to identify one’s own civic position - this is what the author of the program, Eduard Petrov, sees as his task

Episode description:

"Golden" eggs
Criminal groups divided 30 thousand rivers of Kamchatka among themselves. Every year, poachers exterminate red fish, earning fabulous money from the sale of caviar.

Profession: arborist
The barbaric destruction of the taiga is taking on the scale of an irreversible catastrophe - rivers are drying up, animals are disappearing. Entire criminal communities operate in the taiga and have developed schemes for legalizing stolen wood.

Course of death
Former cadets of the Peter the Great Naval Institute created a powerful criminal group that left a bloody trail from St. Petersburg to Tallinn.

End of Operation R
At the beginning of 2005, an attempt was made to steal shares of the largest Mikhailovsky mining and processing plant, worth $2 billion.

Poisonous toys
40% of toys sold in Russia do not meet sanitary standards. These beautiful cars, dolls and cubes contain toxic substances.

Love for the Euro
Young women and girls are eager to find work abroad. Going to work as waitresses and nannies, they actually end up in sexual slavery.

Sinister Triangle

The center of the latest investigation is the mysterious disappearance of girls in the “forest triangle” between the cities of Novouralsk, Nevyansk and Pervouralsk.

"Green corridor

This issue contains the secret mechanisms of the shadow customs business, corruption scandals and high-profile revelations.

Flea dealers

At the beginning of 2008, a major corruption scandal decapitated the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Khakassia - almost the entire leadership lost their posts.
According to investigative authorities, high-ranking police chiefs were involved in financial fraud, embezzlement and taking bribes. Huge amounts of money were spent from the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Khakassia to pay for personal recreation, meals in restaurants and other entertainment of the top officials of the ministry.
What was purchased under the guise of uniforms for the republican riot police? Why did the flea dealers in uniform feel so calm, and how were they exposed?

Liquidation of the Sailor's gang

For four years, Voronezh law enforcement agencies hunted for Alexander Brazhnikov, nicknamed Sailor.
Former special forces soldier Brazhnikov was the leader of the most daring and brutal criminal group in the city, which was responsible for 11 murders. The bandits began hunting entrepreneurs and wealthy officials. They were kidnapped, tortured, money and jewelry were taken, and the mansions of influential businessmen were fired at with grenade launchers.
Why couldn’t law enforcement agencies catch Sailor and his accomplices for so long? How did the incident help the police neutralize the most brutal and bloodthirsty group in the Voronezh region?

The corridor is too green

Trucks filled with expensive video equipment crossed the state border without hindrance. The scammers deliberately did not indicate valuable cargo in the declarations. Professional magicians in green uniforms on paper turned complex equipment into cheap toilets, building materials and nuts.
Organized criminal communities felt with impunity at customs terminals. The criminals smuggled tons of foreign currency goods into the country. Pennies ended up in the treasury, and millions ended up in the pockets of criminals.

Anything suits a scoundrel

A beautiful, brand new uniform, a chest covered in medals, a fake ID - this is the appearance of a new type of scammers who have recently proliferated throughout the country. Having nothing to do with the army and navy, swindlers, taking on the role of generals and admirals, deceive gullible businessmen and officials.
Costumed crooks extort astronomical sums from entrepreneurs under fictitious contracts, enter into “fake” contracts with them on behalf of non-existent organizations, or even simply extort money for the needs of fictitious special services. The calculation of the criminals is simple: people have great trust in a person in military uniform.

Double life

According to official statistics, in Moscow alone, 119 thousand people lose their passports every year. A third of them are for an unknown reason. The rest of those who have lost their main document are victims of robberies, assaults, pickpockets and purse snatchers. Only a little more than 20 percent of passports are returned to their owners. Approximately the same portion, according to expert estimates, is dissolved in the underground market for documents.
These passports are used to register one-day criminal companies, and seasoned criminals cleverly hide from justice. Getting rid of real name, criminals change their place of residence, find new job, start new families, and some manage to reach career heights in a new guise and even become public people! But not all attackers are so lucky. After all, the secret always becomes clear.
Who is next to you - friend or enemy? Why do some repeat offenders manage to deceive others for decades and hide their bloody past? What do impostors come across?

Tambov

Until recently, the Tambovskys lived where they were comfortable and safe. They amassed their criminal capital through raider takeovers, contract killings and kidnappings of businessmen. The unofficial leader of the Tambov gang was Vladimir Kumarin-Barsukov, he was always surrounded by dubious friends and influential patrons. But this friendship did not save the authoritative entrepreneur from arrest. His foreign partners Gennady Petrov and Alexander Malyshev also suffered from the intelligence services of Russia and Spain.
Why weren’t the Tambov people touched near Malaga for so long? Who suffered from the actions of a powerful criminal community?

Pirates of the Sea of Okhotsk

There is a real battle going on in the Far East: regular special operations by the border service are dealing a powerful blow to the shadow economy of the international “crab” mafia. Chases, shootouts, war with criminal syndicates, suppression of secret deliveries of contraband - these are real events that are happening today. Details - in a sensational investigation Eduard Petrov

Every day in the Sea of Okhotsk, poaching ships are depleting the biological resources of our country. Through the fault of poachers, Russia annually loses from 3 to 5 billion dollars. crab, sea urchin, red fish are transported to Japan and Korea. This business is under the control of the international criminal community. And the leaders of the Russian criminal clan made millions of fortunes from this case...

Trucks disappear at noon

The Rzhevsky district of the Tver region is the Bermuda Triangle on federal highways from Europe to Moscow. Here, foreign cars disappear by the truckload. Truck drivers are also disappearing. Stealers deliver stolen cars to their lair, change the numbers on the engines of stolen luxury cars in underground workshops and resell expensive goods.
Who can defeat gangs of stealers? Who will break the ominous Rzhev Triangle?

Election bullet

Dalnegorsk mayoral candidate Dmitry Fotyanov was killed three days before the elections right in front of the door of his public reception room. He was shot by hired killers. The crime rocked a small town in the Primorsky Territory. Some considered Dmitry Fotyanov the leader of a criminal group, others considered him an honest and decent businessman.
Who wanted to intimidate voters? Who needed the death of a mayoral candidate? The answers are in a new investigation by Eduard Petrov.

Double agent

An unprecedented arsenal of weapons was seized by FSB officers Tomsk region members of the most powerful criminal group in the region, led by the cruel and odious authority Igor Rozhin, nicknamed Rozha. The list of ammunition took up several pages. The bandits planned to use all this to unleash a new criminal war in Tomsk. Explosions of gas stations, apartments and offices, murders of large businessmen and influential officials - these acts of intimidation were, according to Rozhin’s idea, to finally break the government and business and bring the city “to its knees.”
The special services managed to introduce their man into Igor Rozhin’s inner circle and collect evidence on crimes already committed and those still in preparation. Giving orders to eliminate people he disliked, the cunning and merciless gang leader could not even imagine that the person he entrusted with carrying out the most notorious contract killings would turn out to be an intelligence agent...

At the bottom

A former Marine Special Forces reconnaissance diver killed policemen and security guards in order to take possession of their weapons. He was very fond of machine guns and pistols. He collected them. For ten years he lived quietly in Solikamsk and worked in the fire department. And he killed, killed, killed. Who put an end to the maniac's bloody count?

Vip violators
Is it possible to force drivers of slack cars to follow the rules? Who illegally uses tricolor numbers, beacons, passes and red cards? Who covers the shadow business of special signals? The answers to these questions are in the investigation of Eduard Petrov.

Be careful - food!

Tens of thousands of catering outlets throughout the country. Tens of thousands of food poisonings every year. Low-quality food can be served both in a street stall and in an expensive restaurant. An investigation by the Honest Detective program showed that high prices are not a guarantee of quality. In canteens and cafes, in fast foods and VIP establishments, cooks with dirty hands and without medical books work.
How do spoiled foods get into public catering kitchens? Who cooks gourmet meals that bring guests to hospital beds? What bacteria are found in soups and compotes?

The only material evidence

A single shot in Samara echoed throughout Russia. Early in the morning, the Chairman of the Samara Regional Court, Lyubov Drozdova, was wounded.
Who shot and why? All versions are being pursued, but the investigation has only one piece of evidence in its hands.

Unearned income

At the Kaliningradsky customs post, a whole shift of employees was detained - eleven people. They put bribes on stream, and for one duty they collected half a million rubles. The tariff has not changed for years. Everyone paid them. The customs post became a profitable place. Who stopped this endless bribery?

Sick mayor - 2. The process has begun

The former mayor of Tomsk, Alexander Makarov, disposed of city land as if it were his own. Plots were distributed left and right to friends and relatives. During the searches, colossal sums of cash were found. During court hearings, Alexander Makarov’s health deteriorated and he experienced mysterious attacks. What is wrong with the former mayor of Tomsk? What diagnosis will the court give him? And which one will he prescribe?

False doctors

Fraudsters in white coats are cynical and unprincipled. They travel around cities and villages, ingratiating themselves with people, promising them instant healing from all diseases. In fact, false doctors mercilessly rob their patients, make them disabled and even kill them with their pseudo-treatment. People give them their money, not suspecting that this will not improve their health. Income from the shadow medical business amounts to millions of dollars, but it is almost impossible to catch a medical swindler by the hand.
Why do people so easily trust false doctors with their most precious thing - their health? How to recognize a scammer in a white coat on the threshold of your own apartment and not fall into the traps he sets?

We are from Tornado

Former paratrooper, athlete and lawyer Avtandil Yankov, nicknamed Auto, put together a powerful criminal group in Kazan called “Kvartala”. He managed to unite the scattered gangs that kept the residential areas of the city in fear. Robberies, robberies, racketeering - that's what Auto's henchmen did. One gang even specialized in contract killings.
These tough guys seemed to be afraid of nothing. It seemed that their headquarters in the Tornado entertainment club was an impregnable fortress. But any gangster excesses will come to an end someday. How did you manage to defeat Kvartal? Who freed the city from the oppression of gangsters?

Wolf Pack

Once upon a time, Alexander Kostenko worked in the Tver House of Public Services, accepting scrap precious metals. The nickname Lom stuck to him. He created a large criminal community, which included businessmen, lawyers, corrupt officials and simply bandits. From the latter, Lom put together an elite unit of killers.
The investigation believes that the leader of the hired killers was Anatoly Osipov, nicknamed the Wolf, and his group was nicknamed “Wolves”. These animals killed everyone they ordered - both entrepreneurs and crime bosses. Perhaps the killers were also involved in the murder of chansonnier Mikhail Krug.
How did you manage to drive the Wolves into an iron cage? Which regional politician was closely associated with the criminal community?

Defeat the pimps

The Perm authorities dealt a crushing blow to the city's intimate services industry - a large-scale police operation was carried out, in which hundreds of employees were involved. We managed to ensure maximum secrecy. The participants in the operation did not know where they were being sent and handed over their mobile phones before leaving. At the same time, dozens of test purchases were carried out on the streets of Perm, in apartments and saunas. As a result, 64 people were put under investigation, and not only ordinary pimps, but also the organizers of the underground business finally fell into the hands of law enforcement agencies.
How was the criminal network uncovered? Who temporarily cleared the streets of Perm of prostitutes? How will the unprecedented trial end?

Jewelry work

Seasoned robbers armed with machine guns and pistols broke into jewelry stores in Kazan. In 25 seconds they emptied counters and safes. Sellers and security guards unquestioningly obeyed the demands of the raiders. Bags full of gold and diamonds always went to criminals, and store owners lost their goods.
Why did gangsters operate with impunity in Kazan? How did the robbers fall into the police trap?

Carry your money

Under the guise of investment funds, consumer societies and business clubs hid ordinary scammers - the creators of modern financial pyramids. They promised gullible pensioners, civil servants, and students mountains of gold, but in reality they traded in air and knew how to truly zombify people.
The victims considered themselves the owners of factories, newspapers and ships. And in the end they were left with nothing.
Who was behind the organization of theatrical financial performances? Why did people trust scammers again, becoming voluntary participants in ordinary financial pyramids?

Innocent

These people did not commit crimes. This is how the circumstances developed. They were slandered, they were intimidated, they were forced to write a confession. Innocent people ended up in prisons and mental hospitals. Then some of them were apologized and even paid small compensation. But who will give them back the years of their lives spent behind bars?

Not gonna get us.

Scandal in Tyumen! Russian champion, master of sports, head coach of the country's karate team Georgy Khizhnyakov received eight years in prison. He was convicted of organizing a gang that stole premium cars. Car thieves were mainly interested in Toyota and Lexus SUVs. They could turn off any alarm and steal a car in a few seconds. The group of athlete-stealers is responsible for almost two dozen stolen foreign cars.
Why did the famous athlete Georgy Khizhnyakov need to steal Japanese cars? What role did “grandfathers”, “great-grandfathers”, “dogs” and “girls” play in his fate?

Orphan question.

According to the current legislation in Russia, every citizen of Russia who is left without parental care, or simply an orphan, upon reaching adulthood must be provided with a separate apartment. But as practice shows, getting legal square meters is not so easy. You have to fight for the key to the house. The state allocates money for the construction of housing for orphans, but instead of legal separate living space, they are placed in dirty and cold dormitories, and often in buildings that are not suitable for habitation at all. For many young people, these little rooms and sheds become their home for life.
How to achieve justice and get what is due by law? Who will protect the rights of boarding school graduates and finally resolve the orphan issue?

Auto smuggling.

Cars from America with a dark past and a criminal future were sold by a Nizhny Novgorod criminal group. Prestigious foreign cars entered Russia through secret paths, bypassing customs, and arrived at car dealerships, where they found their buyers. The criminal scheme was covered up by dishonest customs officers.
How much did the “green corridor” for smuggled cars cost? How were forgeries and documents falsified? Who helped the scammers? How did you manage to block the illegal car supply channel?

mountain rats

They came down from the mountains, quickly attacked, shot from the bushes, filmed it all on a video camera - and again went into hiding. This is exactly how small groups of bandits operating in the North Caucasus behave. The main task of the armed thugs is to strike on the sly and report to their foreign customers, who are the financiers and organizers of many terrorist attacks. Law enforcement agencies believe that behind all attacks by armed gangs there are very specific

Leaky pipes.

Oil pipelines, like a circulatory system, entangle our entire country. Oil is stolen from pipes every day and hourly. Small gangs and entire criminal communities feed on black gold. National treasure pumped into thieves' pockets. Clandestine factories produce low-quality gasoline from stolen oil. Car engines are deteriorating.
How to stop the criminal oil business? How to protect your car?

Godfather Mayor

11 years ago, the director of a timber processing plant, Alexander Purtov, was shot dead in Ust-Ilimsk. In hot pursuit, the killer was detained, then the organizer of the murder. But the customer behind Purtov’s liquidation was never identified. Many years later, the leads of the investigation led to... the mayor of the city, Viktor Doroshka.
Did the head of the city really organize a contract killing? How much did the performers' work cost? What didn't the big businessman and the mayor share?

Offices "Horns and Hooves"

About 4 million commercial firms and enterprises are registered in Russia. According to expert estimates, only 1.5 million of them conduct legal activities. The rest are fly-by-night companies. As a rule, they are registered using fake or stolen passports for a specific financial fraud. Such offices do not submit any reports to the tax authorities and disappear after the completion of the criminal transaction. In 90% of cases, shell companies are used for illegal cash withdrawals. Their turnover in Russia is 150 billion dollars a year.
Who lives by criminal laws and creates the “Horns and Hooves” offices? Where do modern Koreiko millionaires come from? Who are they - the current Ostap Benders?

Pharmacy cognac

Many pharmacies in Russia have turned into wine and vodka stores. Around the clock, without any prescriptions and very inexpensively, under the guise of medicines, people in white coats are selling bottles of alcohol with might and main. This swill is called tinctures - hawthorn, lemongrass, ginseng and even oats. At the same time, no excise taxes are paid to the state, and all excess profits end up in the pockets of shadow pharmaceutical barons. What forces are behind this specific business? Who gets the population drunk? How do medical products harm people's lives and health? Why have many pharmaceutical factories switched to the production of alcohol-containing liquids?

Birsky maniac

I wanted to be a teacher foreign languages, but became a serial rapist. For two years in the city of Birsk, Bashkir Republic, girls disappeared. They were abducted directly on the streets of the city, and after a while their bodies were found in the surrounding forests. For some reason, law enforcement officials did not pay attention to alarming messages from local residents and did not accept statements from the parents of the missing girls. It turned out that all these daring murders were committed by the owner of a private car service, a failed teacher Oleg Chizhov. Whose patronage prevented us from catching a particularly dangerous criminal in time and how we managed to get on his trail.
The investigation of this case will be carried out by the presenter and director of the program, Eduard Petrov, who will be assisted by journalist Alexander Makukha.

Bomb for the head of the Organized Crime Control Department

The head of the department for combating organized crime in the city of Klintsy was blown up in his own car. It was not easy to prove the involvement of local mafia clans in the murder.

The Untouchables

In the summer of 2001, the city's vice-mayor Igor Belyakov was killed in Novosibirsk. Three years later, another vice-mayor, Valery Maryasov, was killed at the entrance of his house. According to one version, high-ranking officials tried to restore order at the Gusinobrod clothing market, the largest retail outlet in the Siberian Federal District. However, the criminal groups that control the market prevented this from happening.
According to detectives, the unofficial owner of the Gusinobrod “flea market” was Alexander Trunov - his gang included almost 200 people. They killed unwanted officials and entrepreneurs and controlled city business. Why did the gang leader remain free for so long? Which of the influential officials of Novosibirsk covered up for Alexander Trunov?

Rob in 60 seconds

Elusive gangsters have opened a hunt for gold in Volgograd. In broad daylight, they broke into jewelry stores and pawn shops and, threatening sellers and buyers with weapons, stole everything that was on display. Each robbery lasted no more than a minute. The raiders did not leave any traces - for attacks they chose retail outlets that were not equipped with CCTV cameras and were poorly guarded. Real video of robberies, details of an unprecedented police operation, revelations of the robbers - in the program “Robbery in 60 Seconds” from the series “Honest Detective”.

Silence of the guys-2

Almost every day new information appears in the media about the revelations and arrests of pedophiles. In the second part of the journalistic investigation, we will talk about perverts with official positions and a certain social status.
A pedophile, a history teacher, was caught red-handed in Volgograd. 150 videotapes with pornographic content featuring boys aged 9 years and older were found and confiscated from him. Over 20 years of working practice, the teacher seduced several hundred of his students. The pervert's colleagues covered for him all this time. Both the boys and their parents were silent. Nobody wanted to make a fuss. It's a very delicate topic.

The defeat of the organized crime group Kinofilnka

“Kinofilk” was the name of a powerful criminal clan that kept the population of Kazan in fear for many years. The group originated back in the 80s, taking control of the Tasma production association, which produced film and audio films. Soon this organized crime group got involved in bloody clashes between city gangs. Extortion, kidnappings, robberies, robberies and murders - all this is on the account of "Kinofilki".
How did the end of the bloodthirsty criminal gang come? Who eliminated its leader Irek Mingazizov, nicknamed Tashkent? How did the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs manage to put bandits in the dock?

"Last Holidays in America"

Many Russian students dream of going to America for the whole summer: to work and at the same time learn a language. To do this, you need to pay $2000 and become a participant in the Student Exchange program. But not all those who left manage to return home alive: victims of murders, street fights and road accidents are brought home to closed coffins, and often no one is looking for those responsible for the deaths of Russian citizens. Parents begin to conduct independent investigations and begin to seek the truth in American courts.

Fake tag

The fake industry (from English fake - fake) seriously competes with the turnover of legal products. The profits from the trade in counterfeit clothing and accessories are comparable to the profits from the sale of drugs and weapons. Net profit can range from 300 to 1000%. It is clear that many owners of boutiques and fashion salons cannot resist such a temptation.

Unfortunately, stores selling designer clothes and expensive shoes do not remain aloof from this business. They put up an outright “fake” for sale, without caring about decency. It all depends on the arrogance of the seller and the location of the store. You can stumble upon a fake in any central department store or in any shopping center in Moscow. The volume of counterfeits in the luxury segment of the clothing and footwear market is up to 60%.

Where do fake Armani, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana come from? It turns out, not only from Asia. Quite prosperous European countries are also guilty of stamping “fake”.

Dangerous travel companion

A friendly young man meets a random passenger and offers to have a drink together. He pours cognac from a flask, and fifteen minutes later his trusting interlocutor...loses consciousness. When he comes to his senses, he no longer has money, documents, or a mobile phone. This is exactly how “clonidine dealers” act - robbers who poison their victims with potent drugs mixed into drinks. But now these criminals use extremely dangerous, lethal doses of medications - they are responsible for dozens of ruined lives.
How did you manage to catch serial poisoners in Moscow and St. Petersburg? And how to protect yourself from a “dangerous” travel companion?

Non-old life

For a long time, the Sedankinsky boarding school for veterans in Vladivostok was headed by Yuri Sinkevich. He and his deputies warmly welcomed single pensioners into residence - although not all of them. Director Sinkevich was only interested in elderly owners of comfortable apartments. After all, the only way to enter a boarding school was to transfer ownership of your home free of charge... to the employees of this government institution. Among the latter, there was even a waiting list for old people to get apartments. Pensioners gave the keys to their apartments, and in return received drab rooms, government food and cruel treatment. About 400 people became victims of scammers.
How did you manage to neutralize a group of cynical scammers? Who protected lonely old people? What conditions do Russian pensioners live in boarding homes?

Judge Kuznetsova's case

In the Perm region, a judge of the Dobryansky District Court was killed. Olga Kuznetsova did not conduct high-profile cases and had an impeccable reputation. Detectives began searching for suspects, trying to understand who crossed the path of the representative of Themis. The results of the investigation amazed everyone - the judge became the victim of an experienced gigolo swindler.
How did the police and the Investigative Committee manage to find the criminal? Who turned out to be the killer? The authors of the program will talk about this.

“Oktyabryata” - that’s what they called the organized crime group in Novosibirsk, which consisted of seasoned repeat offenders, teenagers and heads of the criminal investigation department of the Oktyabrsky District Department of Internal Affairs. Using their official position, police officers forced teenagers to commit crimes. Wealthy citizens became victims of the raiders: both apartments and cars were regularly subjected to armed raids. How did you manage to get on the trail of the bandits and their patrons in uniform? Who sent the October 13th to jail?

Damage

Teacher pop vocals from Lugansk - Yulia Tarabanovskaya - ordered and organized the murder of her family.

Prisoners of the Dungeon

A Ryazan criminal kept two schoolgirls in a garage as slaves for three and a half years.

Mobile gray 2

In 2004, more than 30 million cell phones were sold in Russia. About half of them were brought into the country illegally or with violations. As a rule, these are so-called “gray” tubes, which are manufactured in clandestine factories abroad and are not intended for use here.

The turnover of the shadow market for mobile phones in Russia is, according to the most conservative estimates, $1.5 billion. It is impossible to determine by eye whether the mobile phone you are holding is real or fake. In this illegal business, everything is put into production: factories produce cases and circuit boards, printing houses produce documents. Where do left-handed pipes come from in our country? Who deceives customers and how? Why are gray devices dangerous?

The Honest Detective journalists managed to conduct unique video recordings and trace the entire chain of illegal business: purchase of a batch of “gray” handsets in a foreign underground store - smuggling to Russia - legalization on the domestic market - sale to consumers through a phone shop in Moscow.

Japanese Scrap

Last year alone, 376 thousand used cars were transported to our country from Japan. Russia has taken first place in the world in terms of consumption of used and scrapped cars from the Land of the Rising Sun.

In Primorye, you won’t surprise anyone with smuggled goods or auto parts. It is very difficult to combat this phenomenon here, or, to be more precise, almost impossible. The most popular shady direction among the people is the import of so-called “construction kits” into Russia from Japan: the body is imported separately, the engine – separately.

Operation "Forest Belt"

In the late 90s, in Lipetsk they were looking for a maniac who raped and killed women, and threw their bodies in forest plantations. The case remained unsolved for 10 years. How did you manage to get on the trail of the killer?

Pick up the maniac's trail

“Svetlograd maniac” is the name given to the sinister serial killer in the Stavropol Territory, who terrified the residents of the small town of Svetlograd for 10 years. He attacked teenage girls, abused them, and then killed them. The youngest victim was only 8 years old. The detectives managed to find the sadist's underground bunker - there he equipped a room for sophisticated torture. They also found the items he used for his pleasures: a collar, leather belts, chains, plastic bags...

Left right

Buying a license and not dying in an accident is the dream of those who do not want to study in driving schools. Their motto is “money is everything.” It is not necessary to pass the traffic police exams. The main thing is that your man in uniform is in the right unit.
The shadow market for driver's licenses in Russia has existed for a long time. It is no secret that you can purchase plastic cards in any region. The Internet is teeming with similar advertisements.
Who sells the right to drive? How do intelligence agencies fight ID traffickers? What threatens those who have “leftist” rights in their pockets?

Beekeeper. The story of a killer

The death of his daughter and son was avenged by their father, the owner of a private apiary, Alexander Taran. Law enforcement and journalists Stavropol Territory They nicknamed the rural punisher the Voroshilov shooter. Distraught with grief, Alexander Taran took up arms and began a hunt for those whom he considered guilty of the deaths of his children. The list of the people's avenger included: the former chief doctor of the district hospital, an entrepreneur and three police officers. The Kalashnikov assault rifles from which the beekeeper fired were kept in hiding places in his own apiary. True, not all local residents believed that the honey collector was involved in brutal murders...

Fright Day

“We will return the child only for 100 thousand dollars!” This demand was made by the kidnappers of 13-year-old Vanya Belyanin, the son of the famous science fiction writer Andrei Belyanin.

This tragedy happened in Astrakhan. In broad daylight, the boy disappeared without a trace. The entire police force in the region was looking for the student. The details of Vanya's abduction were kept in the strictest confidence. The investigative team feared that the criminals, sensing something was wrong, would stop contacting the child’s father. This could not be allowed, because we were talking about the life of a schoolchild. Experts put the writer's phone on a wiretap. All calls were recorded and processed on a computer. Thus, the operatives tried to determine the place where the criminals were calling from.

It took the local special services 24 hours to find the organizers and perpetrators of the high-profile kidnapping...

Blood on foreign cars - 2: SALVAGE.Part 1 and 2

The film is entirely dedicated to the automobile business,
prosperous in one of the Baltic countries. There in small garages and
workshops assemble one foreign car from three broken ones. Detect seams and
damage is almost impossible. Business on iron constructors
brings in a lot of money.

Crunch of "pancakes" / Fake banknotes

According to the Central Bank of Russia, for every hundred thousand banknotes issued by Goznak, there is one counterfeit one. If we take into account that there are 5 billion banknotes in circulation in the country, it turns out that the population has 50 thousand counterfeit banknotes in their hands. Basically these are five hundred and thousand rubles. Who makes counterfeit money and where? How are they put into circulation? What should you do to protect your wallet from counterfeits, and yourself from unnecessary troubles?

Death Mask

Back in the early 80s, residents of the Ukrainian city of Pavlograd sounded the alarm. A serial killer appeared in the city, who killed underage girls with some brutal regularity. After each murder, the police promised the relatives of the children tortured by the sadist to catch the criminal. But the killings continued month after month. Angry mothers and fathers wrote complaints to the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the USSR Prosecutor General's Office. More than one and a half thousand residents of Pavlograd signed these complaints, in which they expressed dissatisfaction with the work of the Ukrainian police and asked the country's leaders and security ministers to immediately intervene in the investigation.

Moscow reacted promptly. On behalf of Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev, a commission was sent to Ukraine, consisting of a representative of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, employees of the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the KGB of the USSR. 600 of the best detectives from around Soviet Union they were looking for the killer. But all to no avail.
Years passed, rulers changed, and the USSR disappeared. And the killing of children in Ukraine continued. But now not only in Pavlograd, but also in Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Simferopol, Pologi...
He was caught only in 2005. He immediately confessed to 100 serious crimes. He has more than 80 lost souls to his name.
Why did a serial killer walk free for so long? What was it: a challenge to the entire law enforcement system? Or maybe revenge? Then to whom and for what?

Honest detective. Poppy seeds

Description: Pure edible poppy seeds do not contain narcotic substances and do not pose any threat to humans. Such seeds are actively used in their production by confectionery factories and bakeries. Buns with poppy seeds are in great demand among the population.
However, recently sales of large quantities of seeds contaminated with poppy straw have become more frequent. It is precisely this kind of confectionery poppy, dirty and impregnated with opium, that is actively bought up by Russian drug lords and used for the artisanal production of the so-called “opium brew.” And the finished poison is injected into a vein.
The narcotic substance produced from dirty confectionery poppy seeds has a detrimental effect on the human body. Addiction and physical dependence occur immediately after the first injection. An incorrectly brewed potion can instantly kill a person. The killer poppy has not a single thousand ruined souls to its name...

Honest Detective / Iron Hand of the Killer

Description: To take away a pension and kill - this is the scheme that an elusive raider operated in St. Petersburg for a long time. The cruel robber tracked down his victims in the halls of Sberbank, quietly escorted them home and attacked defenseless old people in the entrance - knocked them down, took their money and beat them to death. As it turns out later, the criminal’s blows were fatal - a metal plate was inserted into his hand. For a long time, detectives in the northern capital could not get on the trail of the killer, until one day he was caught on CCTV cameras. How did the St. Petersburg police manage to identify the criminal and neutralize him? Who turned out to be the killer with an iron hand?

For several days, relatives of the missing and police officers combed the area until they found a minibus in the forest, not far from the road. What they saw horrified people - all the women entrepreneurs and two drivers were brutally killed.
What happened to the shuttles on the track? Who organized the bloody massacre?

Honest detective. Orphan Question-2

Description: In Russia, almost 200 thousand orphans and children left without parental care are waiting for their apartments. And this is only according to official data. Every year, in every region of the country, prosecutors identify up to a thousand orphans who were “forgotten” to be put on the waiting list for housing. Children are doomed to wander, but even those who still receive the legal 33 square meters cannot live in them. Instead of new apartments, officials are giving graduates of orphanages keys to cold and dirty rooms in abandoned dormitories. For many orphans, a temporary shack becomes a home for life.
Why are criminal cases not initiated in Russia against guardians who do not fulfill their obligations and use budget money for other purposes? How can orphans achieve justice and receive what is due to them by law? This is the second part of the investigation of “The Honest Detective” by Eduard Petrov.

Honest detective. The Judge's Silence

In 2008, Rafael Nizamov was killed in Kazan. The entrepreneur was strangled by former local police officers on the order of his business competitor. But the most striking thing became clear during the investigation: the organizer of the crime turned out to be... Kazan district judge Islam Galiullin! Investigators believe that it was he who found the perpetrators of the murder and promised to pay them four hundred thousand rubles.
Despite the sincere testimony of all participants in this criminal story, the ex-judge still considers himself innocent. The servant of Themis feels completely safe - he is confident that his former fellow judges will not dare to deprive him of his life-saving immunity in this situation.
How did the operatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tatarstan manage to get on the trail of the criminals? Will investigators be able to prosecute Judge Galiullin?

Honest detective. Mobile clones

8 billion dollars - this is how much, according to UN experts, is the annual turnover of Chinese counterfeits in Europe. What is the scale of this epidemic in Russia? Experts find it difficult to give even approximate figures. International criminal gangs are bringing us carloads of copies of well-known cell phones, homemade laptops, bug microphones and hidden video cameras. All this equipment is churned out in underground workshops in the Celestial Empire and illegally imported into Russian radio markets.
So who helps the smugglers? How do Chinese counterfeits get onto our shelves? Who benefits from this criminal business?

Honest detective. Thugs

For 15 years, a powerful criminal group operated in the Stavropol Territory. The gang was headed by the son of a police officer, Valery Popov. After returning from service in special forces units, he did not follow in his father’s footsteps, but, on the contrary, found himself on the other side of the law. The younger Popov put together and led a gang of thugs that engaged in racketeering, kidnapping and murder. The bandits' sniper sights included: the governor's adviser, the head of the district administration, an operative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a university teacher, businessmen and leaders of local criminal clans. The thugs filmed the torture and interrogation of their victims on a video camera, and the leader of the organized crime group, Valery Popov, dreamed of becoming the criminal master of the Stavropol Territory.
How did you manage to defeat Popov's gang? Who was closely associated with the assassins? "Honest Detective" by Eduard Petrov is about this.

Honest detective. Plum

27 million rubles in bribes! Scandal in the Federal Mandatory Fund health insurance thundered throughout Russia. For several years, corrupt officials collected so-called “kickbacks” in their offices - they were brought by subordinates from all over the country as gratitude for the “correct” distribution of budget money. All this was recorded by hidden video cameras of the special services. As a result, the entire top of the FFOMS ended up behind bars.
But if Moscow officials turned the state structure into a “feeding trough,” then the head of the Chelyabinsk regional fund, Valery Nekrasov, was killed for his adherence to principles.
So what happens behind the closed doors of the Foundation? Why is this government agency so attractive to criminals?

Honest detective. Bullet for husband

On September 27, 2007, influential businessman Alexander Malinsky was shot dead in the center of Kyiv. Six months later, on February 17, the judge of the Prigorodny District Court, Vladimir Albegov, was found murdered in Vladikavkaz. The two crimes had one thing in common: the murder of the men was ordered... by their wives.
"Black widows" are women who take the lives of their spouses. Why did they send me to the next world? ex-lovers? What did they take revenge for? How did their husbands become their blood enemies?

Honest detective. Ransom

On October 23, 2008, the entire Orenburg police were put on alert. On the territory of school No. 5, 12-year-old Nikita Bozrikov, the son of a large businessman, was kidnapped. According to eyewitnesses, the man pushed the boy into a car and drove away in an unknown direction. A few hours later, the criminal himself contacted Nikita’s parents. Over the phone, he said that the child’s freedom costs 100 thousand euros.
How did the operatives of the regional criminal investigation department and the employees of the Investigative Committee manage to get on the trail of the criminal? Who was the kidnapper?

Honest detective. Clowns on the roads

Crooks with flashy IDs from non-existent law enforcement agencies have infested Russia. Hiding behind fakes, scammers easily commit economic crimes and deceive businessmen. False generals and admirals, atamans of virtual Cossack troops and countless assistants to deputies - all these swindlers ride around the country, hiding behind bright car passes and fake certificates. To find out the scale of this epidemic, film crews from “The Honest Detective” went to the streets of Moscow along with employees of the FSB’s Internal Security Directorate.
How many generals turned out to be crooks? What kind of cover did the swindlers use to hide behind? Is it possible to destroy the empire of fake IDs?

Honest Detective - Golden Military ID

Description: Fake medical certificates about the birth of children, fictitious illnesses and bribes to corrupt members of draft commissions. And all for the sake of one thing - to avoid military service at any cost. There are still many people who want to avoid conscription. And they have a whole industry of document forgery working for them in Russia.
But not everyone succeeds in such fraud: some conscripts receive a summons to court instead of a military ID. After hearing the verdict, the convicts still go to serve in the army.
Why are those who have money spared this responsibility? Who helps avoid military service in exchange for bribes?

Honest Detective - Operation Dirty Hands

Description: They took bribes and thought that they would never come for them. The mayor of Bratsk, Alexander Serov, and the head of Aleksandrov, Gennady Simin, were caught in millions of kickbacks, and the anti-corruption fighter, director of the Bureau for Coordination of the Fight against Organized Crime in the CIS States under the Central Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, himself became a defendant in a criminal case.
The double life of Russian mayors and police generals - who is illegally using their official position and how? Why do they receive bribes? And which of the officials had “dirty hands”?

Honest Detective - Pimp Networks

Description : The new release of the program is dedicated to the shadow sex industry in Russia. Clandestine brothels, saunas, roadside hotels, train stations, and central city avenues have long been under the control of criminal communities. The owners of intimate salons generously share their income with patrons from law enforcement agencies, and the girls are promised mountains of gold. However, for the owners of brothels, prostitutes are just “living goods”. Many girls become sex slaves forever, and some pay for disobedience with their lives.
Who gets caught in pimp networks and how? Why hasn’t the shadow business been dealt with in Russia yet?

Honest detective - All-in in Ossetian style

Description: On February 28, 2011, a branch of the Bank of Moscow was robbed in Vladikavkaz. Unknown people took away almost 200 million rubles by tying up the cashiers. The raiders were in such a hurry that they lost a million along the way. However, the criminals did not even have time to open the stolen bank bundles. They were all detained three days later. Who helped the robbers? Why didn't the alarm go off? And how did you manage to solve the daring bank robbery?

Honest Detective - Judicial Misconduct

Description: At the center of the new investigation of the “Honest Detective” is the judge of the Khostinsky district of Sochi, Dmitry Novikov, who was involved in land fraud and corruption, as well as the Stavropol justice worker Alexander Blinov, who is involved in the case of a fatal accident. Will they end up in the dock? After all, in Russia judges are under special protection of the law. It protects the servants of Themis from persecution by criminal structures and those who were dissatisfied with the verdict. Investigative actions, searches and criminal cases cannot be initiated against judges. But what if a servant of the law took advantage of his special status for personal gain?

Honest Detective - Prime Suspect

Description: Armed criminals have been operating on the Don federal highway in the Rostov region for several years. They attacked sleeping drivers and passengers who stopped to spend the night on the road. On July 8, 2009, the family of special forces soldier Dmitry Chudakov was killed on this highway. The thugs dealt with the policeman, his wife, son and daughter.
The entire Rostov police force was sent to search for the criminals. According to detectives, they managed to get on the trail of the killer. However, relatives and lawyers of the main suspect are confident that he is innocent. So who was operating on the Don highway and shooting at sleeping people?

Honest Detective - Following the Stroller

Description: Attack and take money in 40 seconds - this was the motto of the raiders who operated in St. Petersburg for several years. The thugs robbed only collectors and left no one alive - they even killed random witnesses. They acted boldly, right under the lenses of CCTV cameras. During the last raid, the gangsters stole 25 million rubles.
How did operatives of the St. Petersburg Main Internal Affairs Directorate and their colleagues from the Investigative Committee get on the trail of the raiders? Why did the bandits need a baby stroller during the attack?
Exclusive footage of the robbery and details of the attacks from the mouths of the arrested themselves - in the program "Honest Detective" by Eduard Petrov.

Honest Detective - War of Authority

Description: "Obshchak" - that was the name of a powerful criminal community in the 90s that took control of the entire Far East Russia. The criminal empire was led by a well-known authority in the criminal world, Evgeny Vasin, nicknamed “Jem.” Obshchak had close ties with representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies of the Khabarovsk Territory.
But everything changed after the death of “Jem”: the group split, the leaders of the warring clans began a bloody struggle for power. As a result, the leaders of the once powerful organized crime group ended up behind bars, but this did not put an end to the showdown.
Why did former crime bosses become blood enemies? Who will stop the criminal war in the Far East?

Honest Detective - Caspian Octopus

Description: Half a ton of black caviar is illegally imported into Moscow every day. Valuable goods from the Volga and Caspian Sea are transported by trusted couriers: conductors, flight attendants and truck drivers. The delicacy is transported to secret apartments, from where it ends up in the capital's markets and restaurants. A kilogram of smuggled caviar costs astronomical money - 60 thousand rubles. However, there is a queue behind her.
Astrakhan, Kalmyk and Dagestan mafia caviar clans have amassed millions of fortunes, despite the opposition of the Russian FSB border service.
Who is destroying sturgeon? Why is there still trouble at the sea border? And on whose tables does this criminal delicacy end up?

Honest Detective - Helicopter Rain

Description : Russian helicopter factories have serious competitors - representatives of the shadow business of aircraft parts. Gangs of thieves are operating at the production site, turning used tail rotors and blades into “new” expensive parts for aircraft. To do this, it is often enough to assign the numbers of existing helicopter equipment to the defective units. Dangerous pieces of hardware are being bought up by unscrupulous workers at aircraft repair companies. All this, together with a rapidly aging aircraft fleet, leads to aircraft crashes and loss of life. Who puts helicopter crews and passengers in mortal danger? In whose pockets do millions end up from the sale of counterfeit aircraft parts?

Honest detective - "Family" of the governor

Description : Perm region There was a wave of corruption in the highest echelons of regional government. Regional ministers receive kickbacks and spend millions of budgetary funds on crazy projects - a giant letter "P", huge red men, coloring of kilometer concrete fences. Officials' salaries are rising, while household incomes are falling. Residents of Perm are interested in: why dilapidated housing in the city center has not yet been renovated, why there is not enough money for utilities, for apartments for orphans (there are three thousand of them), why there are no funds to quickly and efficiently complete the construction of a perinatal center and Center for Cardiovascular Surgery? Which local officials were caught taking bribes? Why does the regional government consider the Perm region to be its family business?

Honest Detective - The Last Interrogation

Description: Leave for interrogation and... never return. In Tomsk, journalist Konstantin Popov and gold miner Igor Vakhnenko were beaten to death by police. It was only because of the scandal in the press that the perpetrators did not escape trial and were punished. In Canada, our compatriot, businessman Andrei Kuznetsov, experienced the unconventional work of the local police. The police officer who beat him at the Toronto airport has yet to face criminal charges.
What makes people in uniform mock detainees? Why do office offices turn into torture chambers? Who was held accountable for their malfeasance?

Honest Detective - Death Has a Woman's Face

Description: In the summer of 2002, a series of brutal murders began in the Sverdlovsk region. In Yekaterinburg, Krasnoufimsk, Serov and Achita, an unknown criminal dealt with defenseless pensioners: the killer entered apartments under the guise of a fire inspector or social worker and beat the women with a hammer. The motive for the crimes was not clear - only penny sums disappeared from the apartments of lonely old women. Therefore, they soon started talking about a bloodthirsty maniac. They searched for the killer for eight years. The elusive murderer turned out to be...a woman. The mother of two children sent 18 pensioners to the next world.

Honest Detective - Arsonists

However, the detainee confessed to the murder only after a lie detector exam and under the pressure of irrefutable evidence, and then stated that he was just a performer. Who hired the bank branch manager? Why did the dark story of illegal loans appear in the case? And how did the banker's killer manage to escape?

Honest Detective - Kaplan's Failure

Description: Chief financier of the Russian mafia in Spain. The owner of a money laundering laundromat. Accountant of the shadow gambling business in Moscow. The wallet of the criminal authorities of Georgia. All this is about Leonid Kaplan, a little-known personality until recently. Long years he managed to escape justice.

But Kaplan was caught only in Russia! How did the FSB find a shadow financier? Where did the experienced and cautious Leonid Kaplan go wrong? About this - in the exclusive material of "Honest Detective".

Honest Detective - Profession Raider

Description: Former deputy of the legislative assembly of the Sverdlovsk region Pavel Fedulev wanted to seem like an honest politician and businessman. However, the regional intelligence service had a completely different opinion about him. In famous circles it was known as "Pate".

According to the investigation, a whole group of full-time killers worked for a reputable businessman. For each enemy killed, Pate paid in cash - from 100 to 200 thousand dollars.

The author and presenter of the program, Eduard Petrov, will set himself the task of finding out real reasons of this or that crime or phenomenon, determine the entire list of possible versions, looking at the situation from various angles and, ultimately, identify your own, so to speak, civic position.

Each episode of the program “Honest Detective” is dedicated to one criminal case, and the program not only narrates a crime, but also talks about how each journalistic investigation takes place, and what difficulties reporters have to face.

In the author's program of Eduard Petrov, you can see everything: threats, chases, attempts at bribery, filming with a hidden camera and much more interesting things.

After an investigation, those found guilty of theft of forest resources were brought to justice. The release of the program “Muddy Caviar” led to the dismissal of several employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kalmykia.
