In December 2008, when Alexander Tsekalo was still married to Vera Brezhneva’s sister, they lived with their children in a rented villa in the village of Glukhovo near Moscow. A month and a half before the attack of the robbers, Vika Galushka gave birth to a daughter, Sasha, to the producer.
– We were having dinner, watching TV, when this whole nightmare began! – said Tsekalo. – The child slept in the stroller on the street. They broke in, tied me, the nanny and my wife with electrical cords. I was kicked several times on the head, on the back, on the arm, on the leg. The one who spoke to his wife put a pistol with a silencer to her temple.
The raiders stole 7 million rubles. cash and jewelry for regarding 4.5 million rubles. Already in the police, Tsekalo compiled a list of stolen jewelry: a white gold Tiffany ring with diamonds, two wedding rings, a Rolex men’s watch, a natural pearl necklace, a gold alarm clock, and nine other items.
A year later, three raiders were detained. They turned out to be citizens of Moldova: 31-year-old Victor Gogu, 28-year-old Anatoly Mashkautsan and 29-year-old Igor Gauga, the former leader of the gang.
– We saw that the house was not guarded, – Gauga testified. – No security cameras. In addition, the fence was low. They got in and got it done very quickly.
The bandits transported expensive jewelry through intermediaries to France, Italy and Poland. And with the proceeds, each of the robbers bought a foreign car and a luxurious apartment (each with an area of 100 “squares”) in the Moldavian city of Causeni.
The perpetrators confessed to another 15 robbery attacks on private homes. They were sentenced to long terms. The ringleader Gauga, for example, received 11 years in prison.
