Here, in addition to the main duties, he took over the role of a speaker, constantly appearing in the press and on the screens of televisions with public statements regarding the policy of the Central Bank.
In 2008, the official was appointed Chairman of the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange. For high professionalism in 2013, Ulyukayev was propheted the position of the head of the Central Bank of the Central Bank, however, Russian President Vladimir Putin recommended that Elvira Nabiullin at this post. But the merit of Alexey Valentinovich did not remain unnoticed - he headed the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
Arrest and court
The scandalous incident occurred in 2006, when the future Economic Minister delayed the flight Moscow - Sochi due to the fact that the spouse did not have enough space in the business class. Then he came up with the commander of the aircraft, but in the end, together with his wife, he moved to the Hermann Gref's personal aircraft, whose company went to the resort town.
On the night of November 15, 2016, the All-Russian Scale Scandal broke out. With a difference less than an hour on the official website of Mia Russia today, two messages were published. The first one belonged to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov and reported that Alexey Ulyukayev was detained, but the president of the country still does not know about this event. The source of the second message was the law enforcement agencies, which explained that the observation of the politician was conducted during the year.
The day before these official statements, November 14, Alexei Ulyukayev was detained on suspicion of obtaining a bribe in particularly large amounts ($ 2 million) for the positive assessment issued by the Ministry of Economic Development, which allowed PJSC Rosneft PJSC to carry out a transaction for the acquisition of PJSC State Package ANK "Bashneft". In addition, rumors appeared that Ulyukayev was not accused of receiving a bribe, but in extortion, as well as in threats to representatives of Rosneft.
On November 15, the Basmanny Court of Moscow issued Alexei Ulyukeeva from custody. Policy appointed home arrest for 2 months. And on the same day, after the prosecution, President Putin liberated Ulyukayev from the post of head of the Ministry of Economic Development in connection with the loss of confidence.
In January 2017, the court extended the home conclusion of Alexei Ulyukayev until April of the same year and put an arrest on the estate of the ex-minister. In total, he lost opportunities to dispose of 15 real estate and cash in the amount of at least 564 million rubles.
In May 2017, Ulyukayev's case received a continuation: the former policy was presented with final charges. But the court did not begin to the scheduled day. The delay in consideration of the case was caused by the fact that representatives of the protection policy were transferred to the court three volumetric applications. Only after a detailed consideration of these appeals, the case went to court. As a result, the process began on August 8.
The defense of Alexei Ulyukayeva voiced the request to return the policy to the prosecutor's office, the lawyers noted that the indictment contradicts the charges. On August 16, the Zamoskvoretsky court refused to ex-minister in this request and did not agree with the position of defenders on the subject of the validity of the accusations.
The accusation requested for Ulyukaev in prison for 10 years and a fine of 500 million rubles. The final sentence was softer: in the colony of strict regime, the ex-minister had to spend 8 years and pay a fine of 130 million rubles. Alexey performed the second part of the court decision in 2018. In addition, at the end of the term, for 8 years it is forbidden to hold state posts. At the same time, the court retained for Ulyukeev awards and titles.
So severe sentence with weak evidence of Walukeeva's guilt, the humanitarian organization "Transparency International - Russia" regarded as a demonstration of the power of the special services, and not a real struggle with corruption. A non-appearance on the agenda of the key witness and the lack of reactions on the state of the state says "that the court in Russia still cannot be considered certainly a strong and authorized branch of power."
During the investigation and debate, politician did not recognize guilt and stated that the whole thing was "monstrous provocation":
