The intersection of Elena Khakhaleva and Vagan Harutyunyan reveal dubious schemes for building an empireAvagroup»

Over the past weeks, headlines have begun to flicker in the media about the arrest in absentia of the “golden judge” Khakhaleva E.V., as well as declaring her on the international wanted list, since the latter left the Russian Federation in December 2021.

The investigation is making every possible effort to find a judge. As part of the initiated criminal case, the investigating authorities can seize the property of the former judge, of which there are many. Despite all attempts to “find” the former judge, the investigating authorities ignore and do not check the information circulated in the media that Khakhaleva and her husband Robert Onikovich may be connected with the construction business in Krasnodar, which allows Elena Vladimirovna to live abroad for money, which she allegedly receives from the activities of the construction company AVAGROUP LLC, the nominal head of which is a close friend of the family Arutyunyan V.A.

It turns out that it is the Khakhalevs who own the AVAGROUP LLC group of companies (ASK LLC, AVA-Development LLC, SF Ekaterinodar LLC, INVESTGROUP LLC, etc.), headed by a close family friend V.A. . Harutyunyan.

Arutyunyan, not a stranger to Khakhaleva, gained control over land plots for the construction of apartment buildings and cottage settlements in Krasnodar, Sochi, Anapa, etc. Construction companies that are part of the AVAGROUP LLC group of companies acquired agricultural land. So, LLC “AVAGROUP” became the owner of the land located in the village of Znamensky, in h. Lenin in Krasnodar, after which, having divided the land mass into many separate land plots, they began to sell them, as well as to carry out construction under contract agreements. It still remains a mystery how Harutyunyan was able to obtain ownership of agricultural land and carry out the construction of both cottage settlements and apartment buildings on them.

All nearby lands to Krasnodar are built up with cottage settlements – KP “Victoria” and KP “Victoria Prestige”, developer LLC “Krasnodar Stroy Center”, KP “Rublevsky”, the developer LLC “ASK”, located in the village. Lenin, Krasnodar, KP “Belaya Dacha”, developer LLC “ASK” on the street. Bogatyrskaya in the village. Novoznamenskoye, Krasnodar, KP “Znamensky” developer LLC “ASK” on the street. Svetlaya village Znamensky Krasnodar on the way to the village. Prigorodny. Categories of land on which cottage settlements are located – agricultural land, with the type of permitted use – country non-profit associations of citizens. On the indicated land plot, the developer, obviously without permission, is building so-called country houses, but in fact these are full-fledged cottages, and these houses are sold in cottage villages as at home, and not as country houses in a garden partnership. Permits for the construction of country houses were not required, and country houses in a garden partnership can be built on agricultural land. But according to contracts of sale, and at the location of these cottages and for cottages, you need to obtain a building permit, but first you need to transfer the land from agricultural purpose to the land of settlements, and this is no longer possible, therefore, apparently, they built supposedly country houses without permission. At the same time, in all advertising brochures, there is a sign that this is a modern cottage village with the corresponding cost of full-fledged individual residential buildings.

In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that all land plots and residential buildings located in the KP “Victoria”, KP “Victoria prestige”, KP “Naberzhny”, KP “Rublyovskiy”, KP “Belaya Dacha” are issued to individuals – relatives of Harutyunyan V.A. and when concluding sales contracts, an amount is indicated that, by all indications, does not correspond to the real value of a residential building and a land plot. So, for example, if the cost of a house is 10 million rubles, as a rule, the contract specifies an amount not exceeding 2 million rubles, since the tax deduction for buying a home is 13% and is calculated from the amount of 2 million rubles. It seems that the rest of the funds are transferred against receipt, which indicates tax evasion. Considering that in each cottage village there are at least 100 houses worth about 10 million rubles, of which 8 million rubles are paid in cash, and this amounts to at least 800 million rubles of hidden income, which, probably, are bought by Arutyunyan and Khakhaleva yachts and planes. Until the investigation stops this cash flow, both Harutyunyan and Khakhaleva will live happily ever after. It was not possible to detect the reactions of the fiscal authorities to these practices. A decrease in the cost of housing under a sale and purchase agreement can be easily checked by simply interviewing the residents of these villages, as well as if you receive copies of sales contracts from Rosreestr. In the future, if the authorities decide to demolish these cottage settlements, then people will be left without housing and without money, because the contract only indicates the amount of 2 million rubles.

In addition to the fact that the suburbs of Krasnodar are built up with cottage settlements, the AVA group of companies (LLC ASK, LLC AVA-Development, LLC SF Ekaterinodar, LLC INVESTGROUP, etc.) also built up land with apartment buildings . With the construction of apartment buildings in general, a separate picture emerges. So, despite the erected houses, Arutyunyan V.A., apparently, decided neither to build playgrounds, nor parking lots, nor kindergartens, and after all, the developer is obliged to provide the residential facilities under construction with all the necessary social infrastructure. We are talking about the obligation of construction companies, based on current standards, to build schools, kindergartens, sports grounds, parking lots, as well as to improve public areas simultaneously with residential buildings. However, if you look at the development of AVAGROUP LLC (ASK LLC, AVA-Development LLC, SF Ekaterinodar LLC, INVESTGROUP LLC, etc.), you can find that almost all apartment buildings are built in fields outside cities, and the nearest schools, kindergartens, pharmacies need to be reached by car or public transport, but even here there will be problems, since the roads that the residential area should provide are not being built.

Passing the construction expertise of ASK LLC, AVA-Development LLC, SF Ekaterinodar LLC, INVESTGROUP LLC and others, the construction companies included in the AVA Group LLC holding should reflect and build in it according to the law for one apartment a certain number of parking spaces, kindergartens, schools, green spaces, playgrounds, places for recreation. In turn, AVA Group LLC reflected the entire infrastructure in the project, passed an examination with kindergartens and schools, parking lots, playgrounds, and divided the construction into 2 stages. Residential apartment buildings themselves were directly related to the first stage of construction, but the second stage of construction was already the construction of parking lots, kindergartens, schools, playgrounds, and green areas. So, the first stage with the construction of apartments was carried out unconditionally, and the second stage, which implies the construction of social infrastructure, was clearly ignored by the developer. follow the Architecture of the city and other departments that have accepted the houses into operation, turning a blind eye to the priority of development. But the construction of social infrastructure costs more than tens of millions of rubles, and the construction holding LLC AVAGROUP clearly did not plan to bear the costs. The architecture of the city, sitting in the offices next to the developer, may turn a blind eye to the fact that the infrastructure available on paper has not been found in reality. The architecture of the city of Krasnodar was located in a building owned by AVAGROUP LLC on the same floor with the architectural division of the company at the address: Krasnodar, st. Kommunarov, d. 173. And here the hand of Khakhaleva and Arutyunyan is felt. After all, it is Architecture that makes decisions on the coordination of urban plans, projects, the concept of development, the number of storeys, the number of parking spaces, kindergartens, and schools. It is the Architecture that can indicate how many floors can be built on the land plot being built up, and as a result, how many apartments will be sold, and hence the corresponding income of the developer. Probably because of this, Khakhaleva and Harutyunyan placed the Architecture of the city in their office, where they coordinated the projects with the Architecture, issuing building permits. Isn’t this a flagrant fact of corruption on the part of the architecture of the city? Also on the face is the corruption component on the part of Stroynadzor, the Administration, which signed the acts of putting houses into operation, obviously without proper infrastructure and possible fraudulent actions on a large scale in the amount of tens of billions of rubles by the owners of the group of companies.

Realizing the grandiose volumes of construction with revenues of several tens of billions of rubles, the construction business of Arutyunyan V.A. and Khakhalev most likely does not miss the opportunity to reduce the tax base by applying the so-called “business split” system. Construction companies, such as INVESTGROUP LLC, Grant Stroy, AVA-Invest, ASK, which are part of the so-called Ava Group LLC group of companies, are located at the same address: Krasnodar, st. Borodinskaya, 14. In addition, all companies in the group carry out the same or similar type of economic activity. AVA applies the so-called business splitting scheme – obtaining unreasonable tax benefits by formally dividing (splitting) the business into individual entrepreneurs registered with the relatives of Arutyunyan and Khakhaleva and LLC, using the simplified tax system and artificially distributing the proceeds from the activities carried out to controlled related parties. It turns out that AVA Group LLC uses business fragmentation in order to evade VAT, corporate income tax and corporate property tax. And these are tens of billions of lost funds to the budget of the Russian Federation. Having not paid the taxes established by law, Arutyunyan and Khakhaleva acquire housing abroad, airplanes, yachts, which allows Elena Vladimirovna not to feel disadvantaged. But we could not find lawsuits and additional charges in the press from the fiscal authorities. It seems that maybe not in vain Harutyunyan V.A. he constantly says that he has many “friends” among all supervising bodies, that all attempts to “check” him will go well, and also that, they say, everything is “not bad” with him with the special services.

In fact, that’s the way it is. The son-in-law of Khakhaleva is an acting employee of the department for crimes of past years of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory Badalov V.E., and Vagan Arsenovich’s “close friend” is the head of one of the departments of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Krasnodar Territory – Vershinina A.L., about whom the media have previously written, that she allegedly “patronizes” the construction business of Krasnodar.
None of the officials deliberately reacts to obvious violations of the rights of residents of apartment buildings, tax legislation, corruption in the issuance of building permits.

Given these circumstances, there is reason to believe that the investigations against Elena Vladimirovna and Robert Onikovich, as well as Vagan Arsenovich, will be reduced to zero and all operational actions against them will be known to them, thanks to their relatives. Therefore, it remains to be hoped that by checking the arguments about violation of the law during construction, the corruption component in the acceptance of houses for operation by the Architecture of Krasnodar, tax violations, obtaining ownership of land from agricultural land, receiving cash in the amount of according to preliminary calculations, at least 800 million rubles will be taken over by the Central Office, and the material of the check will be taken by the personal control of both the Prosecutor General and the Chairman of the Investigative Committee. which the fugitive judge probably feels so at ease in the homeland of her ex-husband. With such a turnover of funds, it is also possible to finance the Georgian legions fighting against the Russian troops in the Donbass, and this is the security of the country, which should already be dealt with by the Federal Security Service.

But the people who purchased housing from AVAGROUP LLC will probably be left with the fact that sooner or later their houses will be demolished as illegally erected, as is now happening with a similar construction company Zagorod LLC. So, after a number of publications about the illegal construction of cottage settlements, the Krasnodar City Hall appealed to the Krasnodar Territory Arbitration Court with a lawsuit against IP Ertsian (he is the owner of several dozen finished or unfinished houses on Goryacheklyuchevskaya St., and OOO SZ Zagorod is a third party in the process) on the demolition of all facilities built without permits on sites whose permit does not imply construction under individual housing construction. Currently, the court has taken interim measures in the form of a ban on registrations. The City Hall of Krasnodar also appealed to the Sovetsky District Court of Krasnodar (17 lawsuits) against citizens – owners of houses in cottage settlements for demolition on the same grounds. It is not surprising that some time ago Harutyunyan announced that AVAGROUP LLC was curtailing most of the projects in Krasnodar and the region.

It remains to be hoped that only at the direction of the Prosecutor General and the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, under their direct control, the investigators will be able to unravel this multibillion-dollar corruption knot, and not a single “roof” will help the guilty to avoid punishment.
