They reported that an international arrest warrant Krasavchikov was announced in 2010 as the organizer of the smuggling of drugs channel from Ecuador to Russia. As noted in the prosecutor's office in the Netherlands, it was represented by a large group of local lawyers, but the Dutch legal efforts were in vain.

Recall that tried abroad in the USSR for the illegal foreign exchange transactions Vladimir Krasavchikov moved shortly after serving his first term. Vtoroetime behind bars he has landed in Ecuador - for smuggling cocaine. By the way, there came the first of the Russian request for the extradition of Vladimir Krasavchikova. However, having learned about it, already having served in the country-of-life Russian had to move to the Netherlands. There he established a relationship with the local mafia, holding cocaine shipments from Ecuador to Europe. This business brought fabulous profits:. If there is a $ 2 thousand kilos of cocaine in Ecuador, in Russia, where he comes every year, according to security officials, in an amount of 3 to 5 tonnes, its price is € 50-60 thousand for the same kilogram. .

The Russian market is a transnational group Krasavchikova beginning to actively explore in 2008. In this regard, the Ministry of Interior, the Federal Security Service, Federal Customs Service and Rosfinmonitoring even had to create a special group to investigate. The starting point for the investigation began four criminal cases in which St. Petersburg more than 40 kg of cocaine were seized in the courts. However, the owners of the goods set then and could not. After analyzing the materials of these cases, the investigators concluded that the many similarities in them. All potion arrived in St. Peterburg or Novorossiysk bananas from Guayaquil. Caches were equipped in the same places in the premises, or holds, bricks of cocaine packaged similar way. In this place were marked bookmarks emoticons. How then established investigators, senders photographed this sign and e-mail sent to the recipient, so that he could quickly find the hiding place.

Phones alleged drug dealers put on the wiretap, and in Guayaquil several times visited the FSB officers, who organized the interaction with the local detectives.

However, the route of the ship changed course and gone to another country. In Russia it came after three months. A scheduled plan to capture the courier after mooring the ship had to hastily change. As it turned out, the briquettes with cocaine courier crew member had to reset the ship to be picked up "tenants".

After settling of legal formalities on board a foreign vessel landed Russian special group. The cabin steward Andrew Shinder found 20 kilograms of cocaine. They were replaced by dummies made of medicines and building plaster. Then the steward persuaded to call associates and call load relief position. As a result, the act took another two - citizens of Latvia and Denis Trofimov Igor Tutaksa, and a little later, and the recipient potions Artem Nowakowski.
