The point in the case of strategic assets and six billion has not yet been set
The Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit against former owners of the Russian assets of the British company Raven Russia Igor Vorodov and Yaroslav Shuvalov, as well as the Emirate company “Phoenix Property Group Limited” and a number of legal entities registered in Russia. As part of the proceedings, the court has already issued a ruling on the adoption of interim measures in the form of arrest of the property of the defendants. This is, among other things, about the warehouse complex “Sholokhovo” in the suburbs and the Kellerman business center in St. Petersburg owned by Pervomaisky Zarya. This is not the first claim of the supervisory authority addressed to the beneficiaries of the Raven Russia holding, which was considered the largest Russian owner of warehouse real estate: last February, the Moscow arbitration made a decision on the nationalization of 17 companies that were part of the Raven Russia structure and owned 16 transport terminals with a total area of about 2 million squares. The reason for the filing of the lawsuit was large -scale violations of the current legislation, committed, including in the process of acquiring assets, which was originally carried out by the Hong Kong company Raven Property Group Limited, which did not receive the mandatory consent of the federal government to establish control of enterprises with the country’s defense and the security of the state – a network of logistics parks located Near the critically important transport infrastructure: the Moscow Ring Road, Airports Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Pulkovo, the seaport of St. Petersburg and the Moscow Railway. Also in the focus of the attention of the Prosecutor General’s Office were schemes related to the design of the structures of the holding for offshore and the withdrawal of more than 6 billion rubles abroad. Despite the February court decision on the nationalization of assets, a number of Russian companies that bring tens and hundreds of millions of rubles, with “subsidiaries” structures and managed organizations, are still under the control of the Raven Russia benefits.
Assets of the owners of “Raven Russia” were arrested
The Court of Arbitration Court of the Moscow Arbitration Court of the General Prosecutor’s Office was taken by businessmen Igor Bogorodov And Yaroslav Shuvalov – former owners of Russian assets of the British company “Raven Russia“, As well as a company registered in the Emirates “Phoenix Property Group Limited” and a number of legal entities, “registered” in Russia. Among the co -stands are registered in different regions LLC “Pervomaiskaya Zarya”, “North Estit”, “Delta”, “Gorigo”, Soyuz-Invest “, “Kstovsky Industrial Park 1”, “Logopark Ob” And “Noginsk-east”.
As third parties in the process, the Federal Property Management Agency and Emiratian companies are declared “Dorfin Holdings Limited” And “Xotus Holdings Limited”. Details of the claim are not disclosed, it is only known that it says“On the recognition of transactions invalid, the application of the consequences of the invalidity of transactions” And“On the seizure”. Sources of the RBC portal clarify that we are talking about transactions on the transfer of Raven Russia and its funds of funds abroad: the group transferred to residents of unfriendly states 6.1 billion rubles Within the framework of the execution of credit agreements.
The preliminary meeting in the case was scheduled on April 30, however, the arbitration has already issued a definition on the adoption of interim measures in the form of arrest of the property of businessmen, the Emirate Dorfin Holdings Limited and St. Petersburg LLC “Pervomaiskaya Zarya”. According to RIA Novosti, earlier seven out of eight Russian response companies (exception-“Pervomaiskaya Zarya”) have already participated in the third parties in the proceedings in the previous claim of the Prosecutor General’s Office for Bogorodov, Shuvalov and the structures of “Raven Russia”. Then it became known about large -scale legislative violations, up to theft of state property.
Six billion gone “for the cordon”
Recall that for a long time the Raven Russia group was considered the main owner of warehouse real estate in Russia. As Kommersant reported, the company registered in Hong Kong was originally engaged in the acquisition of Russian assets “Raven Property Group Limited”. At the same time, she ignored the “On the Procedure for Foreign Investments in Economic Companies that have strategic importance to ensure the defense of the country and the security of the state” the rules and procedures, in accordance with which it was necessary to notify the government and receive its consent to establish control over such companies.
As a result of illegal actions, Raven Property Group Limited became the owner of the largest network of logistics parks in the country, including near the critical transport infrastructure: the Moscow Ring Road, Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Pulkovo, the seaport of St. Petersburg and the Moscow Railway.
Later, the Prosecutor General’s Office found that Raven Russia tried to withdraw the holding enterprises “From state antimonopoly control”for this purpose, drawing them up for numerous offshores, including appearing in the last lawsuit of the supervisory authority “Phoenix Property Group Limited”, “Phoenix Real Estate Investment Holdings Limited” (previously – “Prestino Investments Limited“),“Raven Russia Holdings Cyprus Limited” etc. According to the prosecutor’s office, foreign legal entities provided “Hidden ownership and profit of profit for its subsequent transfer abroad”.
From the publication of the same “Kommersant” it follows that shortly after the start of Svo, the beneficiaries of the group formally changed the structure of ownership of Russian business, which de facto remained under the control of the American passport of Igor Virgin and British citizen Clay Hirsha – One of the founders of Raven Property Group. Then, in order to bypass the oncoming economic measures of the Russian Federation, they changed the unfriendly Cypriot jurisdiction of the head organization to the emirates.
The result of the implementation of illegal schemes was the transfer of foreign residents abroad from above 6 billion rubles domestic strategic enterprises. In turn, last February, the Moscow arbitration was fully satisfied with the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the nationalization of shares and shares of 17 companies that are part of the Raven Russia structure and owned 16 transport terminals with an area of about 2 million squares. The total cost of the holding’s assets, according to RIA Novosti experts, can reach 160 billion rubles.
“Offshore Front” of the Prosecutor General
Since February, a number of enterprises previously controlled by Raven Russia have passed under the management of the Federal Property Management Agency. This, for example, registered in the Aksai district of the Rostov region LLC “Logopark Don”that belonged, including the aforementioned Emirates “Phoenix Property Group Limited”. We will focus on the financial indicators of the CHILDRAGE: according to the results of last year, its revenue was 942,3 million rublesnet profit – 200.7 million (revenue a year earlier – 782.7 millionprofit – 118.1 million rubles).
Or, for example, Novosibirsk LLC “Logopark Ob”: His revenue in 2024 – 1 billionprofit – 408.3 million (revenue in 2023- 870 millionprofit – 75.3million rubles). Last year’s revenue registered in Moscow LLC “Phoenix” – 1.1 billionprofit- 718 million. The Phoenix has two “subsidiaries” structures.LLC “Promzona 4 TM” During the same period, I reported on the revenue in 3.6 million rubles and arrived in the amount 2.1 million. Revenue LLC “Promzona-17” – 1.1 millionprofit – 524 thousand rubles.
However, the last numbers against the general background are just a penny. The fact is that last February, the Emirate “Phoenix Property Group” took the ninth line of the “Forbes” rating “Kings of the Russian Real Estate-2025”. Last year’s income from the company evaluates the publication in $ 220 million (in 2023 – 185 million dollars). The total area of the holding’s office real estate at the time of preparation of the rating exceeded 91.7 thousand square meters, warehouse real estate – more than 1.8 million squares.
It is difficult to overestimate the blow inflicted by the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office on offshore schemes “Raven Russia”. However, despite the activation of the supervisory authority, under the control of the Lord Bogorodov and Shuvalov, a significant part of the assets still executed on foreign legal entities remains. These include, in particular, Moscow LLC “RRPA”officially registered for the Emirates “Phoenix Property Group Limited” And “Lorenia Holdings Limited”.
Rrpa revenue in 2024 – 1.2 billionprofit – almost 50 million (revenue a year earlier – 1 billionprofit – 76.2 million rubles). RRPA has a “subsidiary” structure – company declaring losses “Clavis”and two controlled organizations – LLC “Logopark of Oka” And LLC “Logopark Irtysh”. The first works “in minus”, the second in the results of 2024 declared net profit in the amount 21.6 million rubles.
The above -mentioned Petersburg company “May Day”which owns a business center “Kellerman”located in the Admiralty district of the Northern capital. Revenue “Pervomaisky dawn” last year compiled 466.4 million rublesprofit – almost 220 million. As part of the trials of the next lawsuit of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the arbitration arrested the company’s property. I wonder how many more offshore “cubes” will in the near future “open” the supervisory authority?
