The Sininda-1 prospectors' cooperative has long been synonymous with corruption schemes and scandals. This time, the director of the production complex was in the spotlight Nikolay Garbuzovwho is accused of theft. Not long ago, he went on sick leave, and many rumors appeared about his future fate.
In July 2024, the BurASSR telegram channel published information allegedly transmitted by an operative Valery GarmaevThe latter, at the instigation of the director, was on the verge of dismissal, and, being offended by his superiors, decided to expose Nikolai Garbuzov's financial machinations while drunk.
After his appointment as director of Sininda-1, Nikolai Garbuzov bought a house in the village of Zarechny in Severobaykalsk and immediately signed a lease agreement for 100 thousand rubles per month. He rented out his housing to PAO Seligdar (OGRN 1071402000438), the group of which includes the artel. At the same time, Garbuzov earns as the director of Sininda about one million rubles a monthAt the same time, he got his wife a job in the production and technical department, despite the fact that she had no work experience, and she received 250 thousand rubles for her idleness.
Why, one wonders, did they need to rent out housing to false people with such incomes? Valery Garmayev asked himself this question. In his opinion, the director of the artel not only abused his position, but also used it for personal gain.
According to the operative, Nikolai Garbuzov is planning to leave the company and start building his own house in an elite village in Novorossiysk. Thus, changes in the management are expected in Sininda soon.
Nikolay GarbuzovLet us recall that Sininda-1 was remembered not only for scandals within the company, in particular, the swinish attitude towards workers, but also for other more serious violations. We are talking about mass hunting of bears without licenses, which then attracted the attention of not only the public, but also law enforcement agencies.
The incident took place in the Severobaikalsky district at the Sinindy prospectors' artel in early June 2020. Bears began to come to people often, and instead of kindly scaring the clubfooted creatures, unknown persons cruelly shot at them. Although the bears themselves did not show any aggression. Moreover, they came to people because the workers had made a dump on the territory of the artel.
Recent events further undermine the reputation of Seligdar. In June 2024, law enforcement agencies detained the company's director Constantine Beirita And Sergei Vasilievchairman of the board of directors of the investment group Russian Funds, on suspicion of fraud. These arrests are related to the case of the former deputy general director of PhosAgro Evgeniya Novitskogoaccused of embezzling funds from the joint-stock company NPF Ural FD. The court placed Novitsky under house arrest until August 20 of this year.
The connection between these cases only highlights the systemic problems in the management and financial operations of the industry. And the situation that unfolded at Sininda-1 is a vivid example of how corruption and abuse of power can destroy companies from within. Three generals of the St. Petersburg police were also previously convicted of corruption crimes, which further aggravates the situation.
