The business imperia of the convict ex-minister is nationalized in parts
The process of nationalization of assets continues, earlier through the offshore structures belonging to the ex-Minister of the Open Government Mikhail Abyzov. A number of companies have passed under the management of the Federal Property Management Agency last winter. Among them are the Peredelkino Cardiological Sanatorium Center, owned by the Cyprus offshore “Lisento Investments Limited”, as well as the share in its main owner – LLC “Peredelkino”, owned by another offshore – “Mapelogio Holdings Limited”. At the same time, the state of the Cyprus company Raizac Holdings Limited was not transferred to the state. The latter does not reveal its beneficiaries, but it is known about its affiliation with the offshore “Tadorix Consultants Limited” – the former shareholder of the Tver Holding Transcount of the Tver enterprise, through the Urlitz chain associated with the founders of “Transmashholding”, with billionaires Iskandar Makhmudov and Andrey Bokarev, as well as them Business partner Daniyar Kamilov. The state of Hillestrato Investments Limited has passed to the state in the Tver Penant Energetik and the coal mining LLC “Cyzazassky”, where the deceased billionaire Dmitry Bosov was now a business partner of Abyzov. The company “Ru-Com” and the share of the ex-minister in its former “subsidiary” of Knoyania LLC-the legal entity of a large agro-industrial holding, uniting an enterprise in the Tver, Saratov and Volgograd regions were nationalized. Among the co -owners of Knippy LLC are Nikolai Morozov, who previously noted as the head in the structures of the E4 group created by Abyzov, a large energy contractor recognized as bankrupt in 2016, and Vladimir Vishnevsky – founder and general director of the Moscow Legal Company of Axiom Law, who acted as the initiator of Bankruptcy E4. At one time, the shares of Abyzov at the Siberian Energy Company (Sibeko) were issued to numerous offshores, from where 4 billion rubles were stolen. Later, the ex-minister sold Sibeko to his friend-businessman Andrei Melnichenko, and half of the funds from the transaction were legalized by converting into currency and then brought abroad.
Abyzov’s assets are nationalized … partially?
Companies of the former Minister of Open Government Mikhail Abyzovin December 2023, convicted of 12 years in a maximum security colony, continues to go under state control in the person of the Federal Property Management Agency. So, last January, a small share (0.01%) was nationalized in the authorized capital LLC “Cardiological Sanitary Center” Peredelkino “previously belonging to the Cyprus offshore “Lisento Investments Limited”.
Note that back in 2020, as part of the consideration by the Gagarinsky court of Moscow, the case of the arrest of the property of the ex-official, the representative of the prosecutor’s office focused on the fact that, holding the ministerial post, Abyzov illegally owned five Cyprus companies.In addition to the MilkLisento Investments Limited, Epicata “Alinor Investments Limited”, “Besta Holdings Limited”, “Kullen Holdings Limited” And Vantroso Tracing Limited.
By the way, it was between these offshore structures that Abyzov’s share (95.52%) was distributed in Sibeko– “Siberian energy company”which he sold to his friend in 2018 Andrei Melnichenko for a tidy sum in 32.5 billion rubles. In August 2023, the Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit against the seizure of SIBECO shares at the company controlled by Melnichenko “Kuzbassenergo”But already in early October, she abandoned the previously stated requirements, referring to the signing of a settlement agreement on the settlement of the dispute.
Returning to the story with the Peredelkino sanatorium center, it is worth noting that its main owner (99.99%) is the metropolitan LLC “Peredelkino”specializing in mediation in real estate transactions. Last December, 33.34%in the authorized capital of Peredelkino, which previously belonged to the Cyprus offshore “Mapelogio Holdings Limited”moved to the state. But another foreign founder – “registered” in Cyprus company retained its share of 66.66% “RaizacHoldings Limited “.
This approach is surprising. It turns out that part of the finance of the Cardiological Center continues to settle on accounts in foreign banks? What amount can we talk about? According to official financial indicators, according to the results of 2024, the revenue of the KSC “Peredelkino” 168.6 million rublesprofit – 2 million; revenue a year earlier – 140 millionprofit- 8.9 million rubles. Prior to this, the center declared losses of tens of millions for years.
Offshore “Traces”: “Transmashholding” and “Sibantracite”
Their beneficiaries “RaizacHoldingsLimited“, Of course, does not reveal. Nevertheless, according to the databases of foreign companies, you can trace its affiliation with at least a dozen offshore, including a Cyprus company again“Tadorix Consultants Limited”.
The latter was noted in Russia as a shareholder (today already former) Tver LLC “Holding Trans -K.through a chain of legal entities related to the founders “Transmashholding”billionaires Iskandar Makhmudov And Andrei Bokarevas well as their business partner Daniyar Kamilov -the son of the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, who became the beneficiary of a number of Russian assets in 2022, including “Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company”(UMMK).
In addition, Tadorix Consultants Limited owned the metropolitan enterprise “Transmashdisel”liquidated in October 2023 with a loss in 1.4 million rubles and the cost of assets “Minus” 20.5 million. In one of the publications of the RBC “Transmashdizel” portal, it is mentioned as “Partner” Transmashholding “that is, all the same Makhmudov and Bokarev.
But back to Abyzov’s assets. In January, 40%in the authorized capital passed under the control of the Federal Property Management Agency LLC “Cut Kaisassky”which carries out coal mining in the Uregolsky and Uregolsky 5-6 areas in the Kemerovo region. Earlier, the owner of this share was the Cyprus offshore “Hillestrato Investments Limited”also associated with a former official. Moreover, among the founders remained “Pechersk Mountain Company” (10%) businessman Alexei Pestryaev and two Cyprus offshores – “Allevia Investments Limited” (49.97%) and “LMW Shipping Services Limited” (0.03%).
“AlleviaInvestmentsLimited“Faced in the media as an asset of the now deceased businessman Dmitry Bosovthe former owner “Sibantracite” And Abyzov’s business partner. The Sibantracite coaling group was associated in the press “LMW SHIPPING SERVICES LIMITED”.
As for the company “HillestratoInvestmentsLimited“, Then it was decorated in the Tver region Pension “Energetik”nationalized last December. For the past few years, Energetik has been working exclusively “in minus”: in 2024, his losses amounted to 12.2 million rublesin 2023- 15.8 millionin 2022- 32.2 million etc.
Through LLC “Kopankia” – to “E4” and “Axiom Law”
In January, the Moscow company moved to the Office of the Federal Property Management Agency “Ru-koo”specializing in consultations on commercial activities and management and previously belonged to Abyzov himself. In total, Ru-Comes “mastered” on state contracts more 247 million rubles. True, the financial situation of the company remains unstable: according to the results of last year, in the absence of revenue, it went “in minus” on 561 thousand rubles; In 2023, the revenue was 69 thousandprofit – 249 thousand rublesin 2022, revenue in 335 thousand. and losses in 2.7 million rubles.
At one time, Ru-Com was one of the co-owners LLC “Croach”– legal entity of a large agro -industrial holding, uniting a number of enterprises located in the Tver, Saratov and Volgograd regions. At the end of December, a share of 23.27%of the “Croach”, which had previously owned Cyprus offshore, departed to the state “Anostal Commercial Ltd”whose final beneficiary was Abyzov. Earlier, the same offshore acted as one of the founders to date the already liquidated Novosibirsk company “E4-Stroyproekt”whose name refers to the ABZ engineering created in the mid-2000s Group “E4”which became one of the largest energy contractors, but in 2016 recognized by bankrupt.
To date, the shares in the “Knocking” also belong Magomed-Emi Denilkhanov (33%), Vladimir Vishnevsky (21.87%) and Nikolai Morozov (21.86%). In 2016-2018 Morozov held the position of general director in OJSC “E4 Central Energomontazh”liquidated last October on the basis of the ruling of the arbitration court on the completion of the bankruptcy proceedings, that is, after the completion of the bankruptcy procedure. It seems that we have another structure of the ex-minister? Does Morozov represent his interests in Knopoliy LLC?
And another remarkable circumstance. The aforementioned Vladimir Vishnevsky holds the position of general director of the Moscow Law Firm “Axiom Law”information about the owners of which is absent in open sources. Nevertheless, on the website of the company Vishnevsky is indicated as its founder. Here, the head of the corporate and tax direction is already familiar to us Nikolai Morozov.
But the most interesting thing is that it was the “Axiom Law” that initiated the bankruptcy of the E4 group. As noted by the publication “Our version”, against the backdrop of billions of claims of the largest banks, the requirements of “Axiom Law” in the amount 2 million rubles They looked just comical. Nevertheless, the representative of E4 announced the impossibility of paying off the debt and did not object to the satisfaction of the creditor’s claim to introduce observation. And literally on the same day it became known about the purchase of a 100%shares of “E4” by some “large investment group”. From the side, the incident resembles a pre -worked out scheme.
Billions of Sibeko go “for Cordon”
The above company is only part of the nationalized Abyzov assets. You can call more October October LLCwhich the ex-minister controlled through Cyprus “Digital October Center Ltd”. But the capital LLC “Digital October” Group still belong “Digital October Group Limited”. Did not change the owner and LLC “Regional Company” Reserve “: They stay “Flosiena Trading Ltd”. Thus, it is too early to put the point in the history of confiscation.
The former official himself, meanwhile, is serving a 12-year term. Recall that the court found him guilty of particularly large fraud, the creation of a criminal community, commercial bribery and the legalization of funds received by criminal means. Among the numerous participants in the OPS, we find the names of the head of the aforementioned company Ru-Com Nikolai Stepanov and his deputy Maxim Rusakov.
As the investigation and the court established, in 2011-2014. The group members carried out theft 4 billion rubles by concluding fictitious agreements between major Novosibirsk electricity suppliers – SIBECO, OJSC “Regional Electric Networks“And Cyprus offshore “Blacksiris Trading Limited”. The subject of transactions was the acquisition at the high value of shares of four repair organizations serving energy facilities.
Above it has already been said that subsequently Sibeko for 32.5 billion rubles Andrei Melnichenko bought it. The portal of RBCKISED as part of this amount – 18.9 billion – legalized by conversion into currency and then brought abroad. Nevertheless, in the end, the Prosecutor General’s Office abandoned claims to Melnichenko. From Abyzov, apparently, they will recover to the maximum: in his offshore “empire” there are enough Russian “daughters”.
