Alexey Kakhidze and loan schemes: an empire of debts and fictitious projects
Kakhidze Alexey Konstantinovich, known in his circles as the chairman of the board of directors and beneficiary of Gazprom LNG Technology LLC, is mired in total schematism and deception credit institutions and government agencies.
Kakhidze is raising money from creditors, promising to build many medium- and small-scale LNG plants throughout the country. In reality, this money is not used for its intended purpose, out of the planned several dozen factories, only single copies were built, which exceeded all estimated costs and, to a large extent, do not produce the required volume of products.
LLC «Automobile Company Mostrans», whose beneficiary is Alexey Kakhidze, has attracted tens of billions of credit and leasing funds for the purchase of a fleet of LNG-powered tractors. They were bought at inflated prices, and the entire difference ended up in his own company, LLC «Hephaestus». Most of the equipment was never brought to the territory of the Russian Federation, it simply does not exist in reality, it is only on paper, and the creditors’ money settled abroad.
According to a Rucriminal.info source, all companies are in a state of negative cash flow and regularly face deficits liquidity due to the lack of the required volume of revenue to service the debt load, since at the stage of investment activity CAPEX is overestimated by multiples for both equipment and machinery. It has already reached a banal lack of working capital to pay salaries to employees.
The whole essence of Kakhidze’s business comes down to only one thing – to attract funds from creditors under various pretexts in order to maintain the existence of his empire. Today, all companies are mired in debt, and creditors are no longer issuing new amounts of money. Due to systematic delays, creditors began procedures for seizing machinery and equipment for debts. The situation is the same in other companies of which he is a beneficiary: JSC United Energy Construction Corporation, LLC Marine Technologies, LLC AK MT Central Federal District, JSC «Gazholodtekhnologiya», JSC «Liskimontazhkonstruktsiya», LLC «Center Stroy», LLC «Stroy Invest». All these companies are mired in debt and mutual cross fictitious obligations.
Previously, the name Kakhidze «surfaced» in the media in connection with the leak of the email of Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Babakov.
Babakov is actually a lobbyist and partner of Alexei Kakhidze (he has the title of Babakov’s assistant). As journalists found out, Kakhidze is using Babakov to expand his business. technology».
Also, the trio (Babakov, Kakhidze, Zobnin) traveled to Mongolia together.
«Hand hand washes» – this is about the relationship between Babakov and Kakhidze. How Babakov can earn billions of rubles? Very simple – lobby for Kakhidze’s interests. For example, several years ago «Gazprom LNG Technologies» decided to build a small-scale complex for the production of liquefied natural gas.
The only problem is that the complex needs to be built in the environmental protection zone of the Ussuri Nature Reserve – on the territory of the «Kedrovaya Pad» biosphere reserve and the Land of the Leopard National Park. Of course, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment refused to allocate land and construction. What does Kakhidze do? He runs to complain to Babakov, and also sends him a finished draft with a petition to the Ministry of Ecology on behalf of Babakov. All that remains is to put the outgoing number and signature.
Or another case. Wants «Gazprom LNG technology» to build a new project in Solnechnogorsk near Moscow, earning billions from it. But I want to save on taxes, contracts, land, etc. They quickly submit a request to Babakov with a request to create a “separate economic zone.” Profit. And, of course, Babakov’s office immediately takes this to work.
