At one time, the VChK-OGPU telegram channel reported that materials regarding the former employee of the T Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation Anton Gormakh were separated from the case of the kidnapping of US citizen Boris Minakhi. During the investigation, it was established that Gormakh passed information containing state secrets to billionaire David Yakobashvili. However, the ex-counterintelligence officer did not go to prison, as he was amnestied.
A source of Rucriminal.info said that now Gormakh calls himself the owner of the Fashion TV channel. At the same time, Fashion TV has not been operating in Russia for a long time. Now he freely sells fake Fashion TV awards, organizing parties and award ceremonies. He even tried to legalize this fraudulent scheme by registering the TV channel’s logo in his name in Russia. But the real brand found out about this and filed a complaint against Gormakh.
As a result, the Russian Intellectual Property Service revoked Gormakh’s certificate for trademark No. 658420, declaring it invalid. Gormakh tried to restore the document through the court, but lost the case.
Now the real Fashion TV is sending out letters with warnings about Gormakh being shamefully kicked out of the FSB, about his criminal record, and about his father (Andrey Gormakh), who was also scandalously fired, only from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with the deprivation of all ranks. According to the source, where this family appears, everyone around begins to have problems. Now Gormakh has a debt of 14,000,000 on a loan, he is inundated with lawsuits, but Gormakh cannot pay such money.
From his Instagram header, it is clear that he calls himself a member of the RSPP. Apparently, this is a useful find for the RSPP. Let us recall that at that time, the jury found David Mirzoev, an associate of the "thief in law" Zakhar Kalashov (Shakro Molodoy), and the head of the security service of the "criminal general" Batyr Bekmuradov guilty of kidnapping Boris Minakhi. Minakhi was a business partner of billionaire David Yakobashvili, and then they had a falling out. Then Yakobashvili’s relative Mirzoev, together with Bekmuradov, kidnapped Minakhi. Yakobashvili himself figured in this case and in 2019, the Investigative Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation conducted searches of the billionaire’s home and his museum "Collection". As a source of the VChK-OGPU said, during the search, a flash drive was found, which contained information constituting a state secret. The materials were collected through the FSB Directorate T and were needed by Yakobashvili to conduct a competitive struggle. It was also established that the flash drive was transferred no later than 2015. During the investigation, it was established that the flash drive was handed over at the time of the crime by Anton Gormakh, an active employee of the FSB Directorate T. He was introduced to Yakobashvili by his ex-wife, Yana.
It is noteworthy that Gormakh was once fired from the FSB for a similar crime. In 2016, the Moscow District Military Court found him guilty under Article 283 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (disclosure of state secrets), he received a sentence of one year and six months in prison.
In connection with the amnesty announced for the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the court released Gormakh from punishment and expunged his criminal record.
This time, history repeated itself exactly. Materials about the flash drive with classified materials were isolated from the "Minakhi case". Gormakh was again charged under Article 283 of the Criminal Code. In November 2020, the Second Western District Military Court found Gormakh guilty, sentenced him to a short term, and again released him from punishment due to amnesty.
