Mavrodi cares about his colleagues in the prison

Founder of the financial pyramid "MMM" Sergei Mavrodi urged its members to support by letters those against whom the KGB had filed a criminal case.

Sergei Mavrodi gave the addressees’ names and their ward numbers in jail in Volodarskaya Street in Minsk: Vladimir Sitkovski (62), Aleksei Solodun (69), Sergei Tsvechkovski (19), Dmitri Nesterchuk (46) and Andrei Poliakov (44).

According to Sergei Mavrodi, "all parties of "MMM," know, of course, what is going on in Belarus now - five organizers of the "MMM-2011" are arrested and kept in Minsk detention center." We keep in touch with their relatives, assisting them in everyday life (lawyers, money transfer, etc.), said to the founder of the "MMM." But, he says, moral support is very important for these people.

"They should not feel abandoned and alone. They need to feel that System is behind their backs!" said Sergei Mavrodi.

Thus, driven by his appeal Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians sent letters to the organizers of "MMM-2011" who are under investigation in Belarus. One of the detainees’ wife says she hopes for common sense and wisdom of those who decide their future. She reminds that the KGB has extended the criminal investigation against members of "MMM-2011" for two more months.

"Frankly speaking, it’s not easy to answer a four-year baby, why daddy is not at home for so long. Above all I should stay calm being in the sixth month of pregnancy. It comforts me that their conscience is clear before God and the people," says the woman.

Founder of the financial pyramid "MMM" Sergei Mavrodi said on April 16 that Belarusian investors started panicking, forcing him to enter the "mode of tranquility" and to limit the payments.

In Belarus, the participants of "MMM-2011" were charged with an offense under Part 3 Article 233 of the Criminal Code (illegal business activities, coupled with the receipt of income on a large scale by an organized group). Under this article, they face up to seven years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The KGB informs that the fraudsters managed to get a return on a large scale - over Br500 million (about $62 thousand) during the activity in Belarus, as several thousand people had brought their money to the "MMM-2011."

The National Bank instructed banks to identify and suspend all operations on the accounts of individuals involved in the activities of the pyramid "MMM-2011" in Belarus.
