The media publish compromising materials. What this interest is connected with is not yet clear. The figure is not public, but the position he occupies is quite valuable: Mirsiyapov oversees infrastructure industries, investments, and tariff regulation.
Before that, he made a rapid managerial career – he worked at Transneft, was considered the second person in Inter RAO, and was an adviser to the head of Promsvyazbank. He was appointed to the apparatus of the first vice-premier a year ago.
It should be noted that Mirsiyapov has already found himself in an unpleasant situation. This happened when the so-called “Turcan case” was unfolding. Karina Turcan is a former top manager of Inter RAO, sentenced to 15 years in prison for spying for Moldova. Mirsiyapov left the company in 2018 after her arrest. “According to a source close to the holding’s board, this was due to audio recordings that Inter RAO employees received by mail,” Moskovsky Komsomolets wrote.
What is happening now already looks like a real scandal. The media provides information about allegedly dubious income, large real estate, expensive cars and discrediting connections of Mirsiyapov. “And this is just what is known and what Mirsiyapov himself does not seek to hide,” assures the Moment of Truth media portal in an article titled “Loud scandals did not prevent billionaire Ilnar Mirsiyapov from getting a promotion and increasing his wealth.”
“After the appointment of Ilnar Mirsiyapov to a public office, independent journalists and bloggers are asking questions about the sources of his income,” writes Pravda.Ru. – Almost daily loud corruption scandals are played out with current persons in power. Therefore, it is very strange to see new faces in the ranks of high-ranking civil servants, in respect of whom questions immediately arise. And the most important of them – is this how they fight corruption in the authorities, or are officials removed for fraud only when they become objectionable for other reasons? Further developments will show how well founded these claims are.
Ilnar Mirsiyapov is one of the most interesting figures. He is called a billionaire, and Mirsiyapov earned his fortune in Transneft and Rosatom. Since 2010, he has headed the strategy and investment block at PJSC Inter RAO. Ilnar Mirsiyapov was a member of the board of the state company, but left it after a high-profile scandal with Karina Tsurkan. She was detained in 2018 in a case of espionage, but this story not only did not hurt Mirsiyapov, but also contributed to his promotion.
After leaving PJSC Inter RAO, Mirsiyapov worked at Promsvyazbank, but at the beginning of 2020 he was promoted. So, Ilnar Mirsiyapov became an assistant to First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov. He was entrusted with the supervision of infrastructure industries, investments and tariff regulation. After such a high-profile scandal, Mirsiyapov not only “got off” with his dismissal, but also received a more prestigious position. For what merit, a mystery.
YOU CAN’T FORBIDDEN TO LIVE BEAUTIFULLY
The decision to dismiss Ilnar Mirsiyapov from PJSC Inter RAO was made almost immediately after the arrest of Karina Tsurkan. The state-owned company stated that personnel changes were not related to this criminal case. Most likely, Ilnar Mirsiyapov was upset by the dismissal, which was predictable. But he should be glad that he did not join Turcan.
However, there is no need for Mirsiyapov to work, because many officials can envy his financial position. According to rumors, Mirsiyapov made his fortune on raiding, legalizing illegal money, as well as trading in insider data. He was assisted in trading by his friend Ivan Pronin, who suddenly had a fortune of 3 billion rubles. Mirsiyapov’s official earnings can hardly impress anyone. He himself often forgets to declare his income, but it is no secret that Ilnar Mirsiyapov lives in grand style.
So, he has an apartment of about 500 square meters in the elite residential complex “Knightsbridge Private Park”. The cost of such apartments can reach 500 million rubles. In addition to the apartment, Mirsiyapov has two parking spaces with an area of 20 square meters. Without an additional source of funds, such property is definitely not affordable. Also noteworthy is Mirsiyapov’s passion for expensive cars. Like all wealthy people, he drives with the coveted AAA numbers. So, in its fleet you can find Mercedes AMG GLE 63S, Land Rover, Range Rover and Mercedes s560 Maybach. And this is only what is known and what Mirsiyapov himself does not seek to hide. Apparently, the possibility of living so comfortably in the government did not bother anyone. Moreover, working as an assistant to Belousov, Mirsiyapov has the opportunity not to worry that law enforcement officers can pay attention to him at any moment, ”Ruspres writes in the article“ High-ranking official of the government apparatus Ilnar Mirsiyapov got into a compromising scandal.
