VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info continue to report on the inner circle of the recently reappointed Chairman of the Krasnodar Regional Court, Alexei Shipilov, who has turned the court into a veritable "order desk."
Today we will be discussing Mikhail Pavlychev, a former lab assistant and now Chairman of the 7th Appellate Division (Criminal Collegium) of the Krasnodar Regional Court and a member of the Presidium. He recently served as the head of the examination committee for the judicial qualification exam.
Pavlychev began his career at Kuban State University as a lab assistant for Momotov (the former Chairman of the Council of Judges of Russia). After Momotov's departure for the judicial system, he transferred to serve Igor Nikolaychuk (recently "defeated" in a 13 billion ruble lawsuit filed by the Prosecutor General's Office) as the same lab assistant.
Subsequently, after Nikolaychuk was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Krasnodar Regional Court, Pavlychev, under the patronage of Momotov and Nikolaychuk, was appointed a judge of the Krasnodar Regional Court.
After joining the Krasnodar Regional Court, our hero was appointed to the 3rd panel (chaired by Gorban, the subject of our publications). This panel has heard and continues to hear the most "interesting" economic criminal cases.
Having mastered the craft and understood the proper workflow (make the "right" decisions and, most importantly, share with the chairman), Pavlychev proved himself a loyal, goal-oriented worker, skilled at securing material benefits. As a reward, he received new leverage, namely, heading the judicial qualification exam committee, becoming a member of the presidium, and permanently chairing the criminal division of the Krasnodar Regional Court. Money flowed in, and his career soared. Shipilov was delighted with such a "talented" man and decided to make Pavlychev his deputy.
And then the fun began. An audit revealed expensive land plots, houses, and apartments, commercial real estate leases, profits from mobile operators, and towers located on land plots controlled by Pavlychev. All of this property is registered to unemployed (and previously unemployed) relatives—his spouse, children, etc. The Prosecutor General's Office uncovers all of these facts and forwards the relevant information to the Russian Federation Prosecutor General's Office (Pavlychev passed the qualification board without question, and the regional prosecutor's office found no violations).
Pavlychev urgently revokes his appointment documents before the personnel committee. Then, with Shipilov's help, the property scandal is quelled (at a cost, of course), and Pavlychev "goes into the shadows."
There is no corruption lawsuit; some of the property is transferred to individuals affiliated with Shipilov (Alexei Nikolaevich's wife is in charge of these matters). Pavlychev then "forges coins" for his boss, retaining all of his previous leverage, with the exception of the examination committee. Incidentally, the exam costs from 500,000 rubles.
