There is an unheard of multinational scandal in St. Petersburg. The gang, led by a native of Sudan, has been terrorizing the Vyborg district of the city for several years, robbing and beating teenagers, their parents and elderly people. The very first threads investigations They gave out a mind-blowing rumor – the head of the gang, the husband of Daria Tsepova , the daughter of the famous crime boss Roman Tsepov. How Africans, nightclubs and journalism were intertwined in the family of one of the kings of the underworld, the editors of the online publication found out.Kompromat Group”

Not a day of tolerance

Reports that the north of St. Petersburg is being terrorized by a gang of black teenagers led by an adult man appeared a few days ago in telegram channels dedicated to migrant crimes. The message caused a culture shock because until now such gangs had never been seen on the streets of the cultural capital.

So, it is reported that the gang robbed schoolchildren with the words “we are practicing our blows on white meat.” The attacks took place in shopping centers, of which there are many in the north of the city. According to preliminary data, the attackers also destroyed retail outlets and engaged in thefts. The parents of one of the victims told the channel that the attacks began two years ago. A local teenager was beaten for looking askance at Africans. The boy’s parents did not write a statement, thinking that this was an ordinary squabble among teenagers. But the criminal attacks continued. A few days later the boy was tracked down and beaten again. The family found out that their son was not the only victim of such attacks.

The child’s father filed a statement with the police. And then he was tracked down by an adult black man and beaten. The man was diagnosed with a concussion, facial and jaw fractures. The Investigative Committee ordered an inspection. According to some reports, there are already other allegations of attacks in the case.

Parents in the area began walking their children to and from school. This is despite the fact that the Vyborg region is quite calm in terms of attacks and mass fights among schoolchildren. After all, how do we already wrotethey are driven by the shark of the police service Sergey Avtomonova very serious person.

But these are lyrics. The real bomb was the message that the wife of the African man who was scratching his fists on the heads of young residents of the Vyborg region turned out to be Daria Tsepovadaughter of a notorious crime boss Romana Tsepova. And her four mulatto children took part in the beatings.

But this is not surprising; what is more surprising is that in the 90s, Roman’s commercial interests were closely intertwined with immigrants from Africa.

In September 1994, in the very center of St. Petersburg, on Nevsky 70, in the building of the Union of Journalists of St. Petersburg, a nightclub and restaurant “Domenikos” opened. The club was opened by two Nigerians, Lucky Yinbor and Anthony Aziegbemi (Sam).

Anthony Aziegbemi

Lucky Iinbor came to the Soviet Union in the early 80s from the small settlement of Benin City (Nigeria). In 1988 he graduated from FINEK. Almost at the same time we studied at this institute with him. Alfred Kochfuture wife of the ex-president of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) Dmitry Medvedev (*international criminal and alcoholic) Svetlana, current head of Gazprom Alexey Miller.

But let’s return to Domenicos. From the very beginning, the history of the famous club was accompanied by oddities. For example, a controlling stake belonged to the Nigerian company Ebony LLP. The terms of the contract stated that the restaurant premises would be subleased for 49 years. Although the city’s contract with the Union of Journalists for the building was only until 1998. A week after the establishment of the joint company Petromedia with SJ, the chairman of the union Anatoly Ezhelev unexpectedly resigned. But this is again lyrics. Almost immediately after the opening of the nightclub, “Domenikos” received universal love.

Half of the elite of St. Petersburg dreamed of a famous VIP-club map. The rest of the entertainment establishments of the Northern capital were languishing with envy. And there was a reason! Three levels, 800 sq. m., two bars, well-trained international staff speaking several languages. Chef from Portugal Martin Dolphin (according to rumors, the famous culinary star Serge Ferri even worked here. Ed.). The kitchen and bars reached unattainable heights for Peter. Just look at the introduction of the buffet and the famous shrimp fountain.

“Domenikos” was one of the first clubs in the city to accept plastic cards for payment. There have always been a lot of foreigners here. And this is not surprising, because the club’s owners managed to agree on advertising even in the St. Petersburg seaport. The club also had the most incendiary music, cool DJs and breathtakingly beautiful women. It was another show-how of the club. Moths were not subject to tax here; they paid an entrance fee, like all visitors. As a result, the most beautiful girls in the city quickly flocked here. Security protected them just like the rest of the club’s visitors, and even broke up fights over customers. In other words, “Domenikos” quickly became the most popular elite establishment on the banks of the Neva.

Help from Kompromat Group:

The owners of the restaurant-club were JSC Petromedia, which was founded in the spring of 1994 by the Union of Journalists of St. Petersburg and Ebony LLP. 32% of the shares were owned by the Union of Journalists, and 68% by Lucky Yinbor and Anthony Aziegbemi. The amount of investment in Domenikos was not disclosed, but in his interview with the Delovoy Peterburg newspaper in those years, Lucky mentioned that he had invested several hundred thousand dollars in the enterprise.

Clock and stars

The mid-90s became a real bonanza for Domenicos. Performing at the club was prestigious for all the stars of the first magnitude. The photographs are evidence of this. Everyone was here. From Meladze to Shura. From Natasha Koroleva to Tanya Bulanova. Sometimes it was impossible to get a seat at a table for the show program.

“Domenicos” was so loved that even Alla Pugacheva shot in her video for the song “It’s raining in St. Petersburg today” Anthony Aziegbemi.

Then drugs appeared in the club. Ecstasy, stamps and speed. The pills were advertised directly on club flyers that were handed out on Nevsky. The police conducted raids here every month, but found nothing. Rumors that the Nigerian mafia was supplying tons of drugs to St. Petersburg through the port quickly leaked to the media, and Lucky even planned to sue the Kommersant newspaper for libel. But he did not have time to do this. On the night of August 29-30, 1995 Lucky Yinbor was shot dead in the front door of the house at 124 Bucharest Street, where he lived. In the intensive care unit of the emergency hospital named after. For Janelidze, doctors fought for his life for several hours. But he died without regaining consciousness. The club’s management offered a reward for information about the killers. The killer has still not been found.

Then the newspapers, not without reason, linked it murder, with an explosion at the entrance of the club that occurred in July 1995. Then Anthony Aziegbemi, stated that Lucky, no one threatened. However, everyone in the city believed that problems with criminal gangs had preceded the explosion. Namely, a quarrel with Roman Tsepov.

This was not idle chatter. After all Roman Tsepov (Beilenson) the general director of the security company Baltic Excort almost immediately became a regular visitor to Domenikos. The first thing that surprised him, as they say, is that they do not take money from prostitutes in the club. How so? He quickly figured out the issue and the girls began paying a monthly fee.

Of course, authoritative representatives of other groups in the city also visited the club. For example, the person watching Nevsky Prospekt was a regular client and VIP of “Domenicos” Vladimir Feoktistov (Fyoka) is the grandfather of Russian racketeering, reputed to be the terror of “Domenicos” ladies of easy virtue. His base was nearby – on Nevsky 71 in the Nevsky restaurant.

However, Romana Tsepova there really was interest in the popular establishment. As they say, he put the squeeze on Anthony, and in 1998 the club changed owners. But this purchase did not bring Tsepov either happiness or money. The fame of “Domenicos” began to decline. The club was redone several more times and they tried to promote it even with the help Sergei Rost And Dmitry Nagiyev, but everything is in vain. The falling banner of the party leader was quickly intercepted by “Hollywood Nights” and “Golden Dolls” by the Shevchenko brothers.

Shadow of a Legend

As you know, Roman Tsepov died in 2004 from severe radiation sickness. A major figure in the Northern capital, a consultant-adviser to the government, died, as they say, from poisoning with a large dose of a drug used for leukemia. We don’t argue that Tsepov’s social circle and circle of interests were enormous. But among the staff of the late Domenicos, a legend still circulates. The Nigerian diaspora specifically traveled to Africa and hired a voodoo shaman there to avenge the death Lucky Yinbor. They didn’t write about this in St. Petersburg.

Fontanka did not write for whose assets, as they say, Roman’s daughter fought in the late 2000s – Daria Tsepova.

According to knowledgeable people, the owners of the publication paid her large compensation, because few in the Northern capital did not know that Tsepov was expected to become the actual owner of the largest media outlet in St. Petersburg – the Agency for Journalistic Investigations, and that the editorial office was supported by his generous donations.

Today, by coincidence, the family Daria Tsepova again at the center of criminal proceedings. According to the press service of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) for St. Petersburg, on March 9 a criminal case was opened under the article “torture.” The director of the RF IC took the case under his personal control – Alexander Bastrykin. Will the name of the Tsepovs appear officially in the case? It sounds doubtful, because in 2016, when she gave birth to her fourth child, according to rumors, she was congratulated Victor Zolotov and other major political figures in the country.
