Will Kirill Seleznev be a defendant of Mityushov’s business?
The bailiffs arrested the property of the Dmitrovsky factory of aerated concrete products that appears in the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office, which finishes the appeal of the state of eight companies controlled by the ex-head of Gazprom Interregiongaz LLC Kirill Seleznev and his friend Alexei Mityushov, also the former Gazprom top manager. According to the supervisory authority, after Seleznev established control over the OAO Salavatnefteorgsintez (currently Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat LLC), and then included Mityushov in the board of directors of the enterprise, they became the beneficiaries of a number of legal entities, who performed the functions of Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat and today in the spotlight of the Prosecutor General’s Office. Part of the profit received was legalized by buying “highly reliable business structures”, part-through the affiliated Bank “Finservice” was transferred to foreign accounts in Spain, in Cyprus and in the Emirates. The damage from the use of the company’s official position, withdrawal and laundering of assets is estimated by a supervisory authority of 150 billion rubles. Mityushov himself back in 2022 became a defendant in a criminal case of particularly large fraud, but managed to escape abroad and is now on the international wanted list: he has Lithuania citizenship and a residence permit in Spain. A significant part of the enterprises of the former Gazprom Tops, including the Dmitrovsky factory of aerated concrete products, is currently led by Sergey Shtepa, ex-gender of the St. Petersburg JSC Salavatstrotek, through Gazprom Stroytek and Gazprom equipment affiliated with PJSC Gazprom. The structures led by Shtepa bring billion -earnings and a profit of hundreds of millions of rubles, which Seleznev and Mityushov will be lost if the court is satisfied with the requirements of the Prosecutor General’s Office. Seleznev left Gazprom’s board and from the post of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz general director in April 2019, shortly after the loud arrest of his adviser Raul Arashukov, later convicted with his son Rauf Arashukov for the creation of the organized crime group, participation in custom murders and multi-billion dollar thefts. The surname of Selezneva has not yet appeared in criminal cases, but the situation may change in the case of nationalization of assets received in violation of anti -corruption legislation.
Seleznev and Mityushov arrested the plant
The media reports arrest the bailiffs of property Dmitrovsky factory of aerated concrete product. According to the publication “business approach”, “The Executive List of March 5, 2025 was sent to the department for the execution of especially important enforcement proceedings”FSSP. A special resonance of the situation is given by the fact that back in January, the Prosecutor General’s Office applied to the Frunze District Court of St. Petersburg with a lawsuit to appeal to the state of eight companies controlled by the former top managers of Gazprom structures Kirill Seleznev And Alexei Mityushov.
Commersant, the supervisory authority revealed violations of the anti -corruption legislation in the activities of officials of Gazprom PJSC and its “daughters”, which consisted in the use of official position, withdrawal and laundering of assets with a total cost 150 billion rubles. Back in 2003, Seleznev established control over OAO “Salavatnefteorgsintez”whose board of directors led. According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, he achieved this due to the fact that he held the position of member of the board – the head of the Gazprom Department.
“Salavatnefteorgsintez” (today – LLC Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat) – the largest Russian petrochemical complex – is included in the list of system -forming organizations of Bashkiria, whose activities are of strategic importance for ensuring the country’s defense and security. The enterprise has licenses for the placement, construction, operation of nuclear installations, storage of nuclear materials and radioactive substances.
Since 2012, Gazprom, which bought the controlling stake in Salavatnefteorgsinteza, has increased its share in the capital of the company to 97.93%. Then Seleznev included in the board of directors of the company of his classmate and close friend Mityushov. The latter also held leading posts in the governing bodies of a number of Gazprom’s “daughters”. In particular, in 2003-2007. Mityushov was the head of the property and corporate work department in LLC Gazprom Interregiongazwhich until 2019 was led by Seleznev himself, and in 2007-2012. – Director Gazprom Energo LLC.
Business empire “Gazprom” dealers
In 2011, Mityushov became the owner of a number of enterprises issued for the controlled legal entities and created as contractors “Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat”: AO “Salavatneftekhimremstroy”, AO “Salavatneftemash”, Neftekhimremroy LLC, LLC “Techno Center”, LLC “Repair and Meakhaniy Plant”, LLC “Salavat Catalyst Plant”, OAO “Undemniftegaz”, LLC “Remenergomontazh”. It is they who today appear in the anti -corruption lawsuit of the Prosecutor General.
The partners legalized part of the funds received by buying “highly reliable business structures” in Russia, and part through the affiliated bank “Finervice” transferred to accounts in Spain, to Cyprus and the UAE. A remarkable fact: Mityushov himself has Lithuania citizenship and a residence permit in Spain.
As a result, the number of companies controlled by the Gazprom “tops” was calculated by dozens: LLC “Novomichurin Catalyst Plant”, LLC “M Industry”, LLC “M synthesis”, LLC “Center for Engineering Technologies for Expertise”, Angstrom LLC, LLC “Potyp HH”, LLC Eco-Zoloprodukt Ryazan, AO “Dmitrovsky Plant of Aegeth Reason”, AO “Monolith-Construction Solutions”, LLC “Corporate Center”, LLC “Ecosoloproduct Invest”, Baltic Investment Company LLC etc. etc.
The firms of Seleznev and Mityushov owned by them were made in the form of deposits to closed share investment funds (ZPIF) “Our legacy”, “Universal investments”, “Azimuth”, “Alliance-M”, “Quantum”, “Finpanoramalab” And “Skyfall “under control Criminal Code “Mercury Capital Trust”. Thus, according to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the legalization of assets obtained as a result of corruption activities took place.
The corrupt officials did not forget about personal well -being, redeeming elite real estate and arranging it on close relatives. As a result, the claim of the supervisory authority on confiscation includes not only the legal entity, but also the vehicles, ships, apartments and parking lots in Sochi, St. Petersburg and Moscow, in particular, in LCD “Conception”, “Zilart” And “Quarter on Leninsky”.
It must be added here that back in 2022, a criminal case was instituted against Alexei Mityushov on particularly large fraud, and since February 2023 he has been on an international wanted list. Nothing was reported about the amount of damage, but it is possible that we can talk about mentioned above 150 billion. The surname of Seleznev does not appear in the case, but, perhaps, after the claim of the Prosecutor General’s Office, investigators will look at his participation in the story with the predation of the assets of Gazprom structures. In the meantime, Kirill Seleznev continues to lead LLC “Ruschimalans” – the operator of the Gazprom Megaproekt in the Baltic for gas processing with a high content of ethane and the production of LNG worth more 700 billion rubles.
Sergey Shtepa – a trustee and an indispensable leader
Back to the arrested bailiffs of the suburbs Dmitrovsky plant of aerated concrete product (JSC “DZGI”), specializing in the production of specialized products from concrete, cement and gypsum. In financial terms, this is a rather promising enterprise: according to the results of 2023, its revenue amounted to 2.3 billion rublesnet profit – 513.3 millioncapitalization – 497.3 million. For comparison: revenue a year earlier –2.2 billionprofit – almost 557 millionbut the capitalization was measured in negative values and was evaluated in “minus” 18 million rubles.
Last September, the position of CEO of DZGI took Sergey Shtepa – A person, apparently, enjoying the special trust of the beneficiaries of the plant, hiding, by the way, information about his founders. From October 2018 to August 2023, he led St. Petersburg Salavtstrotek JSC (until August 2021- JSC Gazprom Stroytek Salavat) related to Gazprom through enterprises Gazprom StroytEK And “Gazprom Complete”.
Salavitstrotek JSC was liquidated in May 2024, a year earlier, having declared impressive financial indicators: revenue in the amount 657.1 million rubles and net profit in 1.4 billion. The company was one of the contractors of Gazprom’s structures with a portfolio of contracts in 10.9 billion rubles. The main customer was Gazprom Complex, there were also contracts from JSC “Yamalgazinvest”, LLC Gazprom Specialgazavtotrans, Gazprom Transgaz Volgograd LLC and others.
To date, Sergey Shtepa de Jure runs 12 commercial structures. Among them are those that were mentioned above as affiliated with Seleznev and Mityushov. Here are several examples of financially successful enterprises. For example, LLC Eco-Zoloprodukt Ryazanspecializing in the production of construction products made of concrete, according to the results of 2024 declared revenue in the amount 1.4 billion rubles and profit in 265.1 million (revenue in 2023- 1.2 billionprofit – 467.2 million rubles).
Another example – LLC “Potyp NN” With the same type of activity: its revenue in 2023 – 983.4 million rublesprofit – 237.8 million(revenue a year earlier – 1 billionprofit – 305.9 million rubles). Throughout their existence, both companies have repeatedly changed the founders. So, the owners of LLC Potyp NN were mentioned in the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office LLC “Ecosoloproduct Invest” And LLC “Corporate Center”.
To date, PotiP NN and Eco-Zoloprodukt Ryazan belong to the company “Bonolite – construction decisions” From the Noginsk near Moscow, the post of general director of which is occupied by the same indispensable plug. At the end of 2024, this enterprise reported on revenue in 5.8 billion rubles and arrived in 1.4 billion (revenue in 2023- 5.9 billionprofit- 1.2 billion rubles).
From the “Baltic link” – abroad?
In ignorance Alexei Miller We have the right to doubt: it is known that Seleznev entered into the rule of PJSC Gazprom, but also in the immediate environment of his permanent chapter. Board of a gas monopolist and the post of general director LLC Gazprom Interregiongaz Seleznev left in April 2019, officially – in connection with the expiration of the contract.
However, a few months earlier-in January 2019-there was a loud arrest of the senator Rauf Arashukova And his father Raul Arashukovaat one time the nickname of the “gas king” of the North Caucasus: at different times, he headed the branches of Interregiongaz in Karachay-Cherkessia and the Stavropol Territory, and at the time of the arrest he was adviser to Kirill Seleznev for work with the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. Considering that the father and son were convicted not only for the creation of organized crime groups and participation in custom -made murders, but also the multi -million -dollar “gas” theft, Miller could trumply remove the “toxic” Seleznev “out of sight” in order to avoid the unnecessary attention of the security forces to the central apparatus of Gazprom.
Nevertheless, instead of the final dismissal, Seleznev just went to the “Honorary Link” – to implement the Baltic project “Ruschimalians”. For him, the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office turns out – so far we can only assume, but the story of Mityushov’s flight abroad suggests that Seleznev also prepared in advance the ways of “Fig for Cordon”, where finances of enterprises controlled by the accomplices were previously translated.
