Gulami considers this criminal case as a political order. In a conversation with the agency LETA Gulami explained that the fact that in October 2012 "WEESA" received the task "Logistic-Ekspress" – a request for a cargo that, physically, was stored in " WEESA "customs warehouses on behalf of" Logistic-Ekspress "This application, as Gulami showed, was signed by the chairman of the Board of Logistic-Ekspress and the sole owner of Andrejs Stepovojs, a Ukrainian citizen at the time of the transaction, in Jurmala, USA, registered by Silver Star International LLC. . But already in December 2012, Davlaton Azizov, a Tajik citizen, took his place in the Estonian company Logistic-Ekspress. In February 2013, an Estonian company filed an application with the Regional Court of RESA against the badignment of a cargo and the obligation to transfer the goods, stating that WEESA did not allow an expert company to verify the presence and condition of cotton fibers. 19659004] Logistic-Express found that WEESA unlawfully owned the applicant's goods. The court decided to dismiss the case stating that "the Estonian company Logistic-Ekspress has lost the right to claim contentious cotton shipments".
Gulami added that it was not known that Logistic-Ekspress allegedly made claims against the addressees or the management of a former Estonian company, and that Tajikistan had provided Latvia with a note concerning disappearance of cotton. As a result, he is convinced that this criminal procedure is a political order.
The Riga public prosecutor's office previously indicted three persons in connection with the disappearance of more than nine million cotton shipments from Tajikistan.
The case before the transfer to the prosecutor's office was the subject of an investigation by the National Police (ENAP), the Economic Council for Crime Prevention (ENAP), and two of the troika involved in the case are Gulami and his wife Valentine Sleeping His lawyer, Egon Rusanov, had previously stated that his client did not categorically admit his guilt.
The request received by VP claimed that 80 wagons of cotton fiber of almost 7000 tonnes had been lost, but the total losses were estimated at 9 million euros. During a large-scale survey, ENAP staff found that the accumulation of cotton in Tajikistan was committed by a group of people using falsified documents on the change of ownership, which is why criminal proceedings are described as embezzlement and forgery of documents.
