The explosion on Kashirka might not have happened

FSB and MVD officers could have prevented the terrorist attack on the residential building on Kashirskoye Highway, where 130 people died. A few hours before the explosion, 26-year-old Tatyana Koroleva was detained—the mistress of Achimez Gochiyayev, the organizer of both this and the previous terrorist attack on Guryanova Street. Detectives could have learned everything from her, but without properly interrogating her, they released her for some reason. Now she cannot be found anywhere.

Security officers [Chekists] tracked down Tatyana Koroleva, an employee of the law firm "Delovaya Kompaniya" [Business Company], while investigating the terrorist attack on Guryanova Street. They established that the bomb that destroyed the building was planted in the office of the company "Brand-2," which was located on its first floor.

The founder of "Brand" was listed as Mukhit Laypanov, a resident of Karachayevsk. He was immediately put on the wanted list, but it soon turned out that they were searching for a dead man. Laypanov died in a car accident back in February of this year, and his passport was being used by his fellow countryman Achimez Gochiyayev.

At the Moscow Registration Chamber, security officers were told that the firm "Delovaya Kompaniya" was involved in preparing the registration documents for "Brand-2." But when the task force arrived at its legal address on Volgogradsky Prospekt, the office was closed.

After digging through a huge pile of junk in the trash bins in the back yard of the office, the security officers found scraps of some papers. From these scraps, it became clear that the firm was planning to re-register. They managed to establish its new name—"Lantana-L Agency."

At the agency, they said that Tatyana Koroleva prepared the documents for Laypanov, although she registered "Brand-2" through a third legal entity—"Consul-Business."

While the firm was undergoing registration, the fake Laypanov managed to visit a number of real estate offices, through which he tried to find and rent premises "for the storage of bulk products" (as stated in the documents). The searches were not always successful. At the end of July, for example, he approached the real estate company OOO "Terem" with a request to find him premises in residential buildings, but there they offered him only detached warehouses. The terrorist rented one of them, on Krasnodarskaya Street, and used it as a transit base. Four tons of explosives were found there.

According to the security officers, other realtors had already offered Gochiyayev building No. 2, located on Syromyatnicheskaya Street, as a warehouse for "bulk products." However, the managers of OOO "Syromyatniki," who offered Gochiyayev a lease on their store located in a residential building, made photocopies of his documents. Apparently, this alarmed Gochiyayev so much that he never appeared at "Syromyatniki" again. If not for the photocopier, this 9-story building would also have been blown into the air.

While interrogating employees of the former "Delovaya Kompaniya," the security officers learned that Koroleva not only processed documents for Gochiyayev but was also his mistress. She herself had come to Moscow from Volgograd and was renting an apartment here, notably without registration.

Koroleva was detained on the night of September 13. But when law enforcement officers arrived at her home, Gochiyayev was no longer there. Apparently, at that time he was on Kashirskoye Highway, in the very building where the bomb had been planted.

Gochiyayev's mistress was released

Koroleva, who was in her 3rd month of pregnancy by Gochiyayev (his wife Madina Abaeva suffers from infertility - "Ъ" [Kommersant]), said that her partner had some business problems and he told her to leave Moscow for a while. "I knew that he used someone else's documents and suspected something was wrong, but he did not involve me in his affairs," she stated.

They decided to continue the interrogation the next day, and Koroleva was sent to a detention center. But already in the morning, a few hours after the explosion on Kashirka, she was released for some reason. Perhaps the operatives hoped that the pregnant woman would help them track down Gochiyayev, but a few days later she disappeared. Currently, Koroleva, who has been put on the wanted list, is, according to operational data, in one of the mountainous regions of Chechnya. The Gochiyayev spouses are also hiding there.
