How to return assets seized by the state without auctions and competition
The federal government agreed on the billionaire, a former participant in the Russian Forbes list, Alexander Klyachin, the scheme of the return of assets, at the end of 2023, nationalized by the decision of the Zamoskvoretsky court of Moscow. The Prosecutor General’s Office made the appropriate statement to attract the Klyachin by a loud case on the recovery of 192 billion rubles-the damage caused by the budget of taxes by the structures of the Rus-Oil oil company, businessman Alexei Khotin (business partner Klyachin), later convicted for nine years of the colony of 23 billion Yugra Bank. Soon after the decision on nationalization, it became known about the transition of part of the assets of Klyachin to the Office of the Federal Property Management Agency. Nevertheless, its representatives in the comments of the media denied this fact, stating that “all assets remain with Klyachin and continue to function under the control of its structures.” However, the previously seized companies finally began to return to its former owner only last March, after Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order of the federal government. On the basis of this document, the right to acquire shares (shares) in 40 legal entities, without auctions and competition, was received by the KR Plus company, which Koreachin and Gros LLC are co -founders, both structures (KR Plus and Gros) then hid information about their owners. Last year, the billionaire himself sold the company Azimuth of Vladivostok, the main owner of the A-Hotel Amur Bay of Vladivostok. Azimuth of Vladivostok is a loss -making structure previously affiliated with the Cypriot offshore “AMG Worldwide Comfortable Hotels Limited”. A significant part of the Klyachin hotel business registered in Luxembourg Azimut Group and Gleden Capital for a long time was tied up for a long time. Later, they were replaced by the MKOOO that did not disclose the data of their founders, “registered” in the Kaliningrad “Russian offshore”.
“Kr Plus” consolidates assets of Klyachin
March 27 Voronezh LLC “Casino Flamingo”specializing in the lease and management of property, officially changed the founder: such was registered in August last year in Moscow and engaged in the provision of financial services KR Plus LLC. On the same day, the metropolitan company has passed under the control of KR Plus “Vector Seliger”whose main activity is the preparation of real estate for sale.
In total, in just a couple of March days, KR Plus became the owner of more than a dozen legal entities: Moscow LLC “Andori-Invest”, “STK Fintechline”, “Eruv”, “Project Belokurikha Mountain” From the Altai Territory and others. Some of these enterprises are engaged in hotel activities, some – rental and property management.
What unites all the above companies except their new owner is the figure of their previous owner – a scandalously known billionaire Alexandra Klyachinex-participant in the Russian list “Forbes“, The owner of the hotel network “Azimut” And the development company “Kr Properties”. Recall that at the end of 2023, the RBC portal reported on the Moscow Court of Court of Moscow by the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow. The reason was the attraction of Klyachin as a co -stand in the suit of the supervisory department to the oil company “Rus-Oil” And her beneficiary Alexei Khotin – The business partner Klyachin.
Then the Prosecutor General’s Office sought to recover damage in the amount 192 billion rublescaused by the budget by non-payment of taxes by the structures of Rus-Oil, and in addition, in the account of damages-the appeal of the state of shares or shares of 158 jurisen of the holding. As for Klyachin, as part of a court decision, it was a business quarter “Danilovskaya manufactory”business centers “Vernadsky” And “Aviator”a mansion on Smolensk Boulevard and a number of development projects, which were controlled by KR Properties.
In addition to tax claims, Alexei Khotin (by the way, was one of the richest Russian businessmen, according to Forbes), as an ex-owner of a bankrupt bank “Ugra”The embezzlement was charged 23 billion rubleswithdrawn from a credit institution. In March 2024, he was sentenced to nine years of a general regime colony. The court handed the convictions to other participants in the criminal scheme.
Prime Minister Mishustin gives “good”
In January last year, Kommersant wrote about the transition, as part of the satisfaction of the claim of the Prosecutor General’s Office, a number of legal entities controlled by the nurse under the Office of the Federal Property Management Agency. Among others, the publication was mentioned LLC “Company” Polar Lights ” (holder of licenses for the extraction of hydrocarbon raw materials within five deposits in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug), LLC “Ai-Kurussky”, “Eastern Talovy”, “Leo Tolstoy, d. 14”, “Vector Seliger”, “Eruv” And JSC “Unity Holding” (owner of a number of hotel assets).
However, the same “Casino Flamingo”, like that of Vector Seliger, Eruv, STK Fintechline, Andorei-Invest, “Belokurikh Gorny,” “Lev Tolstoy, 14”, and more than 30 companies of the management organization are still listed JSC “Real Estate Management”controlled by the Federal Property Management Agency.
At the beginning of last March, specifics appeared: Vedomosti reported on Klyachin’s plans to redeem the assets from the Federal Property Management Agency, which were seized in 2023 in the state’s income and on the balance sheet of “real estate management”. It was clarified that the relevant agreements have allegedly already reached at the level of the Ministry of Finance, and the total value of the redeemed enterprises, according to experts, could reach 80 billion rubles.
In the context of the upcoming transaction, the media expressed the opinion that Klyachin was preparing to attract one of the state banks as a business partner. And here the company “Kr Plus” was mentioned, the one that was mentioned above. Note that at present access to information about its founders and management is limited by the Federal Tax Service. However, according to RIA Novosti, KR Plus co -owners are Klyachin himself (with a share of 49%) and LLC “Gros” (51%), which also recently hidden the data of its founders.
Finally a point over “I»Helps to arrange the text of the Federal Government order of March 3, 2025 No. 492-r signed by the prime minister Mikhail Mishustinon the basis of which KR Plus LLC received the right to acquire “40 commercial structures” without bidding “in federal ownership of shares (shares) in federal ownership. Among them, we meet all the names we know.
The document explains the need to conclude a transaction “Creation of conditions for attracting investments, stimulating the development of the stock market, modernizing and technological development of the economy”. The Federal Property Management Agency is ordered to conclude contracts of sale and sale, “at a price not lower than the market,” and transfer shares (shares) to the buyer after their full payment.
Offshore ties “Azimut”
So, the first persons of the state agreed on the scheme of returning to Alexander Klyachin of companies belonging to him, but nationalized as part of the tax “case of the Khotin case”. True, if we recall the previously sounding statements, it seems that the odious billionaire from the very beginning was counting on about such an outcome of events. Otherwise, how to explain the words that “the process of re -registering assets into Klyachin’s property begins,” said by his representative last year?
Nevertheless, part of the “hotel” “Empire” has already changed the owner. For example, last June LLC “Park-Hotel Burduguz” The company bought it “Azimuth of Vladivostok” its previous owner, which was a controlled nag. LLC “Capital Wanted Rus”. As clarified by RIA Novosti, the ownership of Azimut Vladivostok LLC is a large part of the building (more than 19 thousand squares of almost 22 thousand) of the hotel “A-Hotel Amur Bay Vladivostok”. Burduuguz Park-Hotel Park-Hotel purchased from a businessman Igor brown.
The hotel in Vladivostok is a really valuable asset, although the Azimuth of Vladivostok itself is a loss -making structure: according to the results of 2024, when revenue in 5.2 million rubles The company went “in minus” on 97 million (revenue a year earlier – 1.3 millionloss – 32.7 million rubles). In previous years, the financial situation of the company was also not stable.
The reason for this could be, among other things, offshore ties: on May 2022, the owner of Azimut Vladivostok LLC was a Cyprus offshore “Amg Worldwide Comfortable Hotels Limited”. Then he was replaced by Klyachin himself and JSC “Unity Holding”which was replaced by the aforementioned LLC “Capital Hotels Rus”. In turn, in the capital of the latter with a share of 0.01% includes MKOOO “Azimuth Group”registered in 2022 in the territory of the Special Administrative District of Kaliningrad, known as the Russian offshore.
Earlier in business, Klyachin repeatedly appeared Private Joint -Stock Company “Azimuth Group”having registered in Luxembourg. For example, she was the founder JSC “Sovetskaya Hotel” In St. Petersburg, but in February 2023, the Azimuth of Group MKOOO, whose founders were noted, was replaced Limited Liability Company “Gleden Capital”again with the Luxembourg registration.
In December 2022, in Kaliningrad, one address with the Azimut Group MKOOO was registered MKOOO “Gleden Capital”hiding the data of its owners. That’s just the belonging of Galeden Capital is actually the “secret of the postgraduate”: back in 2023 “Forbes“In one of his publications he wrote that it is part of the structure “Gleden Invest” Alexandra Klyachin.
It seems that the position of the billionaire, which was shaken in order due to the claim of the Prosecutor General and a court decision on the nationalization of assets, begins to stabilize. No further, as in January it became known that its Azimut hotel network opened the first hotel on Sakhalin, plus it announced the opening of two hotels in Israel by the middle of this year. And now the government has given a nag “green light” for the return of several dozen enterprises, without auctions and competition. And at the same time hiding this fact from the attention of the public. The only question is how profitable the state will be made for the state?
