“The media have repeatedly paid attention to the high earnings of Andrei Kikot’s wife, but information about her in open sources could not be found,” wrote Forbes. However, The Insider managed not only to establish the name and business assets of the prosecutor’s wife, but also thanks to her to discover the corruption connections of the security official.
The name of the Deputy Prosecutor General’s wife is Diana (they lived together at the same address in St. Petersburg). This year, she regained her maiden name, becoming Tagirova again. These changes were reflected in the database of the Federal Tax Service in February – Diana was registered as an individual entrepreneur. However, the couple might not have divorced, even formally. The family of the prosecutor has two minor children, which means that the divorce must be formalized through the courts, but there is no information about any processes involving Kikot and his wife in open judicial databases. Moreover, in his latest declarations Kikot provided information about his wife’s income.
He also indicated the use of an apartment of 286.5 sq. As The Insider was able to establish, the family of the Deputy Prosecutor General lives in the premium residential complex Prechistenka, 13 (the address appears in the merged database of clients of medical organizations, and the area of the apartment according to the declaration also matches). This is one of the most prestigious houses in Moscow. It is here, for example, that he owns real estate Leonid Mikhelson, one of the richest people in the country. And right next to Kikot, in a neighboring apartment, she settled Lyubov Kabaevamother of Vladimir Putin’s favorite gymnast.
The cost of housing for the Deputy Prosecutor General is more than 500 million rubles. The apartment belongs, according to an extract from Rosreestr, Shubarev Maxim Valerievich.
That is the name of the owner of Setl Group, one of the largest developers in Russia. The fact that this is the same Shubarev, and not the namesake, is indicated by the fact that he was a business partner of Kikot’s wife.
Diana Kikot and Maxim Shubarev jointly owned Energostroytech LLC, which is engaged in the leasing of construction equipment. The company owns – residential change houses, power transformers, diesel generators, tanks for oil products and water.
This year, Diana’s share (25%) in Energostroytekha was transferred to a certain Galina Gomzina. According to The Insider, this is a 69-year-old relative of the prosecutor, who previously worked as a cosmetologist in a St. Petersburg beauty salon. The annual turnover of Energostroytekh is more than 600 million rubles.
Until recently, the prosecutor’s wife also owned a construction company. OOO “Est-Monolit” with an annual revenue of 272 million rubles. Now the company is registered with Elena Vitalievna Kikot, obviously another relative of the security official.
It turns out that Maxim Shubarev not only provided the Kikot family with an expensive apartment for living, but also accepted relatives into his business. At the same time, there is a conflict of interest: in the prosecutor’s office, Kikot controlled the legality of construction for many years, including in St. Petersburg, the main region of the Setl Group. In addition, Shubarev’s firms receive government contracts from regional prosecutor’s offices to provide housing.
So, Ostrov City LLC and Setl Invest LLC Shubarev sell apartments St. Petersburg prosecutor’s office, LLC “SK” Kamenka “- the prosecutor’s office of the Leningrad region.
OOO “Specialized Developer” Ost-Stroy “” provides housing Prosecutor’s Office of the Kaliningrad Region.
Diana Kikot (Tagirova) did not answer The Insider’s questions about the conditions for using the elite apartment and the nature of the business partnership with Maxim Shubarev. Shubareva’s Setl Group also did not take the opportunity to comment on the receipt of government contracts from the prosecutor’s office and the personal relationship of the business owner with the family of the deputy prosecutor general.
