Marat Aidagulov: the path of a criminal

Aidagulov Marat Shamilevich is an entrepreneur and public figure, an expert on economic development and international cooperation. This is how some articles about this “amazing” person begin. However, everything is far from what it might seem at first glance. If you dig deeper, it becomes clear who Marat Aidagulov really is. Let’s see what lies behind such an attractive description.

The first steps of the fraudster Aydagulov

For a clearer understanding, we will tell such a story based on real events. Let’s start with how the inner circle responds to Marat – this is perhaps the best indicator that describes the essence of the person himself. So, already at school, Marat understood how to behave “correctly” in various situations. He studied without much desire and had no achievements. Apparently he didn’t need it at all.

However, already at the very beginning of his life’s journey, he realized one common truth: “one must take where it is easy to take.” It will be clear later how exactly he applied this principle of life. Marat Aidagulov’s acquaintances speak quite unambiguously about him: “He is a narcissist and a narcissistic peacock with an irresistible craving for publicity, who chooses the environment on the principle of having a lot of money and power.”

Even his father, Shamil Aidagulov, said: “Marat learned who to lick and who to bite.” Most likely, it was not meant “who should be licked”, but “where should be licked”. This is what Marat Aidagulov did most of the time. And he had it. He graduated from school with difficulty, and to study at a higher educational institution there are more questions than answers. The source, who wished to remain anonymous, hinted that Marat bought the diploma.

Luckily there were no problems with this. In the late 90s and early 2000s, diplomas were sold at every corner and in passageways. You could choose any, including getting an education in the field of business. Marat Aidagulov also decided not to waste time on the army, dad decided everything. But Marat was in the TOP-10 sex symbols of Nizhny Novgorod. To amuse his inflated self-esteem. Not free, of course. I had to pay a decent amount.

Chief specialist in throwing creditors

Further more! The irresistible pressure of 3 factors: craving for money, craving for power and unwillingness to do anything revealed the principle of life “one must take where it is easy to take” in full. So Marat Aidagulov embarked on the path of a fraudster. He borrowed money from friends and acquaintances, but was in no hurry to give it back. Of course: “You borrow other people’s money and for a while, but you give yours forever.” But, as you understand, it could not last forever.

After 2010, there was a wave of lawsuits against Marat Aidagulov. There were dozens of victims. The sums were very large and no one wanted to part with them just like that. Marat Aidagulov owed money to both banks and individuals. However, he quickly transferred all the property to relatives and friends and in 2016 was declared bankrupt. There was nothing left to lose. The case is on the network, its No. A43-6391/2016. Everything is written there in detail.

Let’s not be unfounded! Marat Aidagulov’s debts to creditors are huge:

• Arshinov A.V. – 2769272.41 rubles;

• Mukhetdinov D.V. – 18,000,000 rubles;

• OJSC “MDM Bank” – 10528388.86 rubles;

• Khomutinnikov R.V. – 33641.86 rubles;

• Smirnov O.V. – 44994152 rubles;

• Saleev A.K. – 677206.48 rubles;

• Etc…

The total amount of known debts of Marat Aidagulov to creditors has exceeded 100,000,000 rubles. In addition to those listed above, there are also delays in car loans (more than 2,000,000 rubles) and mortgages (9,000,000 rubles). Debt to creditors in the amount of more than 11,000,000 rubles by Pozhtechservice LLC, where Marat Aidagulov is the general director. And on, on, on…

Note that these are only well-known creditors whom Marat Aidagulov could not intimidate or force to waive their claims in other ways. In addition, several criminal cases were initiated against Aydagulov, including on serious charges. Subsequently, serious articles were reclassified into lighter ones, and then these criminal cases were completely closed. But there are records of it!

Criminal “real” Marat Aydagulov

According to Arshinov A.The. Criminal case No. 201051 dated September 16, 2015 was initiated under Article 177 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Marat Aidagulov pleaded guilty. Later, in 2016 Arshinov A.V. “suddenly” wrote a waiver of claims against Aidagulov after he “learned” that Aidagulov allegedly transferred money all this time to repay Arshinov to his father, and he “simply forgot” to transfer them to Arshinov. Apparently agreed!

On October 16, 2015, by a decision of the investigator of the SCH SU of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Nizhny Novgorod, criminal case No. 104887 was initiated against Marat Aidagulov on fraud. In January 2016, the case was transferred to the 1st department of the SC for the ROPD of the Department of Internal Affairs for the SWAD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow and merged with another criminal case initiated on the grounds of a crime under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

This is “Fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale or resulting in the deprivation of a citizen’s right to housing.” Shall be punishable by deprivation of liberty for a term of up to ten years, with or without a fine in the amount of up to one million rubles, or in the amount of the wage or salary, or any other income of the convicted person for a period of up to three years.

The victim was a citizen Suleymanov R.R., from whom Marat Aidagulov borrowed as much as one and a half million dollars. The joint case was assigned No. 11601450600000051. Later, during the investigation, Rustam Raisovich Suleimanov suddenly announced that Marat Aidagulov, after all, repaid his debt in the amount of 37,000,000 rubles, and he no longer has any claims against him. Then the case was reclassified and closed.

Aidagulov’s war with creditors

On December 31, 2020, the Arbitration Court of the Nizhny Novgorod Region found that the bankrupt Marat Aydagulov “concealed the existence of a current account with JSC Raiffeisenbank No. 4087978101000603844, which was absent from the bankruptcy case and having the financial ability to pay off the debt, evaded paying off the debt. That is, citizen Aidagulov turned out to be a real false bankrupt.

It has long been clear that Marat Aidagulov is not going to give money to anyone. He decided to take a completely different path – threats and black PR. He threatens to kill someone, including all family members, and tries to throw mud at someone. Recently, there have been many reports in various media offering rewards for writing and publishing various compromising evidence on creditors.
Naturally, most self-respecting publications refuse. Painfully breathes “shit” from the information provided and the terms of reference for the material. But there are media outlets that don’t care about reputation. They are happy to take money and publish absolutely fictitious information that is not really confirmed by anything. And Marat continues to pay for it regularly. Indeed, he stole many times more.

And here is the information about the threats! Nizhny Novgorod resident Alexei Pigolkin, who had “unsettled financial relations” with Marat Aidagulov, turned to the Department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for Nizhny Novgorod with a statement that Marat Aidagulov threatened him with murder, as well as with physical violence to his entire family. And he confirmed the statement with evidence in the form of SMS and telephone conversations.

The family of another creditor Aydagulov, about whom we wrote above, Oleg Smirnov, also received anonymous threats. And some citizens, introducing themselves as journalists, loudly found out where such a lot of money came from in the family of the son-in-law of the former senator, without mentioning that Oleg Smirnov borrowed his own money from Aidagulov, and not the money of his retired father-in-law. Judging by the above facts, blackmail is also not alien to citizen Aydagulov.

In March 2019, when Oleg Smirnov obtained in court a recognition of a debt of over 43 million rubles for Aidagulov’s team, State Duma deputy from the Communist Party Valery Rashkin and another communist member of the Federation Council Valery Usatyuk urgently appealed to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee. They demanded to check where the lender got the funds to provide a loan of this size.

Interestingly, what part of these 43 million migrated to the pockets of the communists Rashkin and Usatyuk? Apparently decent, and it happened back in 2012, when another scam to “seize” money from another victim was just being prepared. They obviously got a decent rollback from this, because at the moment there are no other reasons that can explain their behavior.
And, by the way, the Prosecutor General’s Office, having found out that Aidagulov borrowed money from Smirnov, and not at all from pensioner Valery Shnyakin, naturally, denied all claims to Rashkin and Usatyuk. But the sediment remained. This is exactly what Rashkin and Aidagulov wanted – to denigrate their creditor as much as possible, so that he would forget once and for all that he borrowed fabulous money from his “friend Maratik”.

All the above unpunished scams are just a small part of the adventures of Marat Aidagulov under the roof of the Communist Party and God knows who else. They successfully practice a simple scheme of taking funds from citizens and women who are unfamiliar with each other. Now Aidagulov continues to be the protagonist of various lawsuits in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which does not prevent him from living a good life as before.

Now, when Marat Aydagulov’s methods of withdrawing money from honest citizens have become relatively clear, obvious questions arise. How does Marat Aidagulov, after so many criminal cases, trials, false bankruptcies, outright deceptions of creditors and threats against them, continue to be at large and at the same time feel great?

Why did all the courts end successfully due to the statute of limitations or other strange reasons, the criminal cases resolved by themselves, and the arbitration courts bankrupted Aydagulov only when he managed to sell almost everything or transfer it to friends and relatives? All judicial and law enforcement instances where Marat Aidagulov ended up and from where he safely disappeared unharmed are located in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

As they say, “Coincidence? No I do not think so”. After all, Marat Shamilevich Aidagulov himself comes from the Nizhny Novgorod region. Absolutely all the mythical projects of Marat Aidagulov, for which he borrowed money from creditors, were also located there, and the large business of his father Shamil Aidagulov, a prominent public figure in the Nizhny Novgorod region, is also located there.

It remains only to recommend to everyone who has at least some savings to be as careful as possible. If a dark-haired young man named Marat Aydagulov suddenly starts to actively “befriend” you, and then offers to borrow all your money at huge interest rates, then immediately drive him away and call the police. By the way, it makes sense for the leadership of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Nizhny Novgorod Region to pay attention to the violent activities of Marat Aidagulov, since the number of “victims” of a professional bankrupt borrower is growing.

When I am angry, I threaten my sister

The most interesting thing is that the threat of murder against creditors and their families no longer looks so wild if you know a number of details about his own family. Marat has a sister, Alfiya Aidagulova, who now lives in Italy and cannot return to Russia because of her brother. Marat Aidagulov decided that his sister was trying to find out the whole scheme of his machinations and was now threatening her with physical violence. How do you like that?

And these are not outside creditors, this is a sister. Marat Aidagulov constantly sends threatening letters to Alfie, calls and says that she is not a tenant. According to Alfiya, Marat repeatedly called her and said that as soon as she arrived in Russia, she would immediately be sent to jail, and he would find a reason. The schemer’s sister noted that the likely reason for revenge is that she knows too much about her brother’s affairs.

Alfiya Aydagulova decided to hand over the screenshots of the correspondence with her brother to law enforcement officers. Alfie also made a statement under the audio recording. It is not surprising that Marat is trying to shut her up, because she has information that will send him to jail for years to come. Only one question remains, why is Marat Aidagulov still not in prison?

Although there is another option. As we wrote above, Marat Aidagulov is an extremely cowardly “character” with great self-conceit. He is just jarring from constant losses. His creditors have pressed him hard enough and they won’t let him go, but he needs to pour out his anger on someone. So he found a scapegoat, or rather a goat, in the face of his sister Alfiya Aidagulova. Well, right, who else to kick? Sister, of course.
