In Russia – the new amber king... from China.

Chinese companies report billions of dollars of profits from work in Russia, policy report on the establishment of Russian-Chinese relations. That's just the reality is far from rosy picture. The present activities of some of the first persons of the Chinese business community in Russia is injurious and could draw on the criminal term. Of course, if not influential patrons.

The face of Chinese business

Meet Chen Zhigang. In the world – a successful businessman. Manages the St. Petersburg office of Hainan airlines. In St. Petersburg he had many firms, for example, a large restaurant "Qin" in "Lenexpo". In the same Fairgrounds, where instead of housing and public spaces will this create Russian-Chinese business centre. Of course, with the full consent of the city administration. Especially of the foreign relations Committee.

Now Chen Zhigang, the Chairman of the Chinese society of Saint-Petersburg. And the head of the St. Petersburg branch of the Union of Chinese entrepreneurs. In fact, he is the face of Chinese business in the Northern capital. That's just face it, if you believe the investigators, not the most honest...

True interest

Long known as actually see Russia in China. In the best case – market. A more realistic option: a raw materials appendage, conveniently tucked in the race for leadership with the United States and Europe. It is neither good nor bad. This is a common rationalism.

That is raw materials, specifically wood and amber attracted Chinese entrepreneur, who in criminal circles of Russia began to be called simply – a Gigue. In consonance. Too easy to field investigators could quickly grasp the fact that we are talking not about the Russian recidivist, and a visiting guest. The work was conducted for several years. During this time, on the border with China have been arrested and hundreds of kilograms of illegal provedennogo amber.

Same with the forest – not so long ago covered the gang, which was engaged in industrial logging of valuable wood.

In both cases, the trail led to Rigano. And the shuttles, and their associates have repeatedly answered the questions of investigators, confirming the existence of an extensive network controlled from St. Petersburg. However, until now none of the organizers are not even detained.

Influential patrons

Now investigators have every reason to if not to arrest the suspects, then at least to conduct the interrogation. On the website of the investigative Committee even appeared information that the investigation failed to identify the persons involved in the smuggling of amber, which also mentioned "a number of the major representatives of the Chinese business community." However, less than an hour, the material was removed.

The Russian law enforcement system is not perfect. If such cases arise, then it is necessary for someone. Anyone here the sources in the bodies retain partisan silence. However, timber smuggling and the export of amber are considered a super-profitable business, much more profitable than the restaurant business or air transportation. Kickbacks from these super-profits are theoretically able to open the doors of the high offices and tie even the most evil tongues. And what about Russia? Russia for all of them remains a raw materials appendage.
