Kurdyukov money Pavel Astakhov

In the criminal case of fraud against Anton Astakhov, the son of the former children’s ombudsman Pavel Astakhov, which is being considered in Samara, there was an unexpected turn – the process was stopped due to the defendant’s alleged illness.

What double or even triple bottom can hide the case of Anton Astakhov – in the material of the correspondent The Moscow Post.

sonorous surname

Even the fact that Anton Astakhov is under house arrest is a victory for the prosecution, because initially the Golovinsky Court (at first the case was considered there) refused the Investigative Committee to choose a preventive measure. And only after a complaint from the prosecutor’s office, the decision was changed to a relatively mild measure of house arrest.

Such a “somersault” was associated with the influence of Astakhov Sr. A man similar to him was allegedly seen in the corridors of the court talking about something with the participants in the process. The former children’s ombudsman gained federal fame as the host of a court television show, has connections in the political and business elite, and the judiciary.

It was also connected with his influence that the amount of damage in the son’s case “decreased” from the wild 1.2 billion rubles to only 75 million rubles, which ultimately could affect the decision on the measure of restraint. How did the “magic” with the reduction in damage assessment – is unknown.

Anton Astakhov is accused of fraud on an especially large scale, one episode in the case. According to investigators, the young man and his partner Dmitry Aresyev (wanted) illegally gained control over the Omega company, and then issued loans to it and withdrew money from the structure.

According to investigators, they met with the director of Omega LLC Yevgeny Razgonyayev, and offered to help him get a loan. NVKbank provided a loan, after which Dmitry Aresyev allegedly withdrew funds from the accounts of Omega LLC through fictitious transactions to other settlement accounts.

By the way, Omega and Razgonyaev could be good victims of fraud – the company is actively working with the state, the pool of its state contracts is 138 million rubles. That is, if it was “divorced”, then our state budget was also divorced.

“Schematosis” under Kurdyukov

We are talking about a loan in a bank – the Astakhov family has long become adept at working with banking structures. They know all the vicissitudes of the banking system, legislation and judicial practice.

Earlier in the article “Authorized to Withdraw”, The Moscow Post wrote about the possible withdrawal of funds from banks to which the scandalous family was related.

But this may not be the case with the bank. According to the authors of the Russian Crime website, allegedly earning money on loans for gullible entrepreneurs could become the Astakhov family business, and it was the head of the family, the former children’s ombudsman, who was in many offices, Pavel Astakhov, who could act as a “motor”.

By the way, Pavel Astakhov’s legal career did not begin with the protection of children, for example, the creator of the Vlastilina financial pyramid known in the 90s, Edmond Pope accused of espionage, collaborated with the scandalous oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky – there was where to gain “experience”.

They are trying to attribute the glory of another author of the possible scheme to a certain Yuri Kurdyukov, co-founder of the now liquidated Association of Citizens “Protection”. We will say more about her.

The scheme can be simple – a potential victim was taken into circulation, after which they were introduced to Kurdyukov, who plays the role of a family friend and a successful businessman. Everything could appear as if he himself had given him control over his funds and were very pleased with the result.

The mechanism itself, according to rumors, could operate in 2015-2018. For the first few months, Kurdyukov allegedly can regularly pay out profits, ingratiating himself with trust and receiving even more funds. But after a few years, problems could arise.

According to the authors of the Rucriminal website, allegedly after several years, Yuri stopped contacting all clients, changed his phone number, moved and moved his family. He also allegedly transferred all his property to his wife’s sister Natalya Aleshina.

But the most interesting thing is further: as if after that the Astakhovs themselves could try to present themselves as guilty of deceiving Yuri, to whom they allegedly gave funds under a loan agreement – although all this could be a staged performance. And judging by the documents on the net, if this performance took place, then, indeed, not only Anton, but also Artyom Astakhov, the second son of the former ombudsman, could take part in it.

We managed to find court documents on the Web describing the lawsuit between Artyom Pavlovich Astakhov, who acted as a plaintiff, and Yuri Kurdyukov, as a defendant. They say that the court sided with Astakhov and recovered from Kurdyukov in his favor the debt under the loan agreement for as much as 372 million rubles.

According to the authors of the Rucriminal website, allegedly this loan agreement between the Astakhovs and Kurdyukov for these same 372 million rubles could have been drawn up retroactively, and the very same Natalya Aleshina, whom they are trying to present as the sister of Kurdyukov’s wife, could act as a guarantor for it.

Even if all of the above is complete nonsense, the question remains, what kind of relationship could Artyom Astakhov have with Kurdyukov and loans of almost 400 million rubles?

clean up the traces

If the Astakhovs want to call Kurdyukov a fraudster and blame everything on him, then this will not be easy, because there are traces of their stormy cooperation.

Kurdyukov was the founder of the Association of Citizens “Protection”, which was liquidated only in August 2021.

The executive director, and later the liquidator there, was Pyotr Kuznetsov, who may be a friend of the Astakhovs’ sons. And Kuznetsov also had a company called Telepravo LLC, where he was also both the founder and leader.

But he left the founders in 2019, and Astakhova Svetlana Alexandrovna, the full namesake of Pavel Astakhov’s wife, with whom he has been married since 1987, took his place. It is also interesting that at the end of 2021, the company received revenue of 186 million rubles, and a profit of only 2.8 million rubles, which suggests possible fictitiousness or unwillingness to pay taxes.

In addition, the liquidated Association “Protection” was located at the address Moscow, st. Kuznetsky Most, 21/5. And Pavel Astakhov’s Moscow Bar Association is registered at the same address. In addition, Artyom Astakhov’s Meteks company is located at the same address, which, by the way, has a revenue of more than 1.1 billion rubles.

All this is easily done manually, but if you try to search through the “Protection” itself in the same information system “Rusprofile”, but the connections of other offices at the legal address are not opened. Perhaps someone influential and with money fussed in order to find the ends was hard, but the Internet remembers everything.

If some schemes of the Astakhovs actually existed, then now the head of the family is required to hush up his son’s case at all costs – after all, questions from him may already appear to him, and to Mr. Kurdyukov. Apparently, therefore, according to rumors, Astakhov is now deleting false information about himself and his family on the Internet.
