In the case of undermining the Crimean bridge, Zhanna Friske’s apartment was “lit up”

The trace of the mysterious company “Leader” disappeared into the fog

In the chain of movement of cargo with explosives used in the undermining of the Crimean bridge, the Moscow LLC “Leader” appeared. The documents indicate that at one of the stages the company was the recipient of the cargo. We went to the address where this organization was registered.

From the FSB report: “From September 29 to October 3, the cargo was cleared in Yerevan, the documents were replaced, after which the sender was GU AR GROUP LLC (Armenia, Alaverdi city), and the recipient was Leader LLC (Moscow )”.

We went to the address where the “recipient” was located.

According to official data, LLC “Leader” is located on Shmitovsky proezd.

In house number 16 there is a bank, beauty salons, ateliers, dentistry, a crayfish shop … Anything, except for the “Leader”. None of the employees of the organizations located in the building could remember an office with that name.

According to the transit declaration published by the FSB, the founders of Leader LLC rented a room in the third section of the house. Entrance to the section (as the entrances are called here) from the yard. On the ground floor there is a security guard, cameras and a control room. No visitor would slip in unnoticed.

– I have been working here for half a year, I don’t remember that during this time we received applications from a company with that name. In any case, neither plumbers nor carpenters were sent to them. Maybe they’re just so happy, they don’t break anything, – the dispatcher suggested. Let’s check our database to see if we have any.

We did not find a company with a similar name in the office base. Among the tenants was not the director of LLC “Leader”.

Please escort me to the second floor, where the company was supposed to be.

“So we don’t have a second floor,” the interlocutor was surprised. – The first one goes, and then the third one immediately. The second floor is completely occupied by the studio, but the entrance to them is from the courtyard, a staircase leads there. So there can be no apartments and office space on the second floor.

– Did the investigators come to you, looking for a firm?

– No, there were no calls, no checks, no investigators here.

I went up to the atelier.

– We have been working here for many years, there was no “Leader” here, – an employee of the sewing workshop shared. – From the interesting, some time ago, the tax authorities came here with a check. They were looking for a company through which they illegally laundered money. But the name “Leader” did not sound.

I walked around the neighboring entrances. The guards claimed that they had never heard of the existence of the “Leader” before: “There are only living quarters here, there are no offices. Still have Zhanna Friske’s apartment, are you interested?

On the Web, you can find information that earlier the director of Leader LLC rented a room in a neighboring house. An employee of the law office also denied these data: “I have been working here for 15 years, I have never heard of Leader. Anyone could draw the address, no one will check it, it’s a common thing. It’s strange that you’re surprised.”
