Will Daltekhgaz be bankrupted by a call from a pretrial detention center?
Arrested last May on charges of especially large-scale fraud, previously convicted businessman and native of North Ossetia-Alania Alexander Dziov is trying to influence the course of the criminal investigation and achieve his release from his pretrial detention cell. In particular, from a fragment of an audio recording actively circulating on the Internet, it follows that former senator Erik Bugulov, who owes him a considerable sum, must “resolve the issue” through FSB officer Marat Khodov, whom Dziov calls the godson of FSB Deputy Director Sergei Korolev. Previously, the well-known lawyer-fixer Gennady Udunyan, who received $250,000 for transfer to “the right people,” was supposed to act in Dziov’s interests. However, Udunyan himself first became a defendant in a criminal case about a fight and threat with a weapon in the Moscow restaurant “La Maree.” Then he was accused of beating up a female acquaintance and her companion in a room at the “Lotte Plaza” hotel, where the lawyer burst in drunk. Finally, after his arrest, in the transfer of a bribe to a pretrial detention facility employee for the delivery of oysters and elite alcohol to the cell. In April 2024, the Presnensky Court of Moscow sentenced Udunyan to five years in a general regime penal colony. Today, Dziov has to build other schemes to stop his own criminal prosecution. The criminal businessman needs money, which he can get by transferring the assets and finances of the Khabarovsk-based OJSC Daltekhgaz, which he heads, to the clone enterprise LLC Daltekhgaz, which was created last February and registered at the same address. Dziov already has on his account the bankruptcy of one of the largest Russian manufacturers of elevator equipment, the Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant (PAO KMZ) and the associated PCF Siblift – the former assets of the business brothers Alexey and Dmitry Ananyev. At one time, the former CEO of PJSC KMZ, Sergei Zaika, announced a raider takeover of the enterprise, and Dziov, as the new owner of the plant, promised the head of North Ossetia-Alania, Sergei Menyailo, to replace 100 elevators in apartment buildings in the republic free of charge.
Businessman Dziov hopes for connections in the FSB?
Last May, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow granted the investigators' motion and issued a ruling arrest a notorious businessman, a native of North Ossetia-Alania Alexandra Dziovaaccused of large-scale fraud committed by a group of people. In the media, Dziov is referred to as the CEO JSC “Daltekhgaz”registered in Khabarovsk and specializing in the production of industrial gases.
You can find other, much more interesting, stories about the businessman on the Internet. mentions. For example, as a previously convicted raider, casher and organizer of multi-million dollar thefts. And recently, Telegram channels have appeared messagesthat even while in pretrial detention, Dziov continues to actively “manage affairs” having access not only to telephone communication, but also to the Internet. He is allegedly confident in the collapse of the criminal case and his imminent release.
Moreover, a fragment has become publicly known audio recordingsin which Dziov talks about his debtors. In particular, about “Erik Ruslanovich”, who owed him money. 50 thousand dollars And 4.5 million rubleswhich he promises to give on September 20. Presumably, we are talking about Erica Ruslanovich Bugulov – a former senator who represented North Ossetia in the Federation Council.
It also follows from the audio recording that Erik Ruslanovich is to meet with an FSB officer Marat Khodov – godson of the deputy director of the FSB Sergei Korolev.
It turns out that the businessman plans to solve problems with the security forces through high-ranking employees of the special service, in fact, through its leadership? As an alternative options He does not rule out the possibility of being sent to the SVO, organizing a stay in the rear and returning as a “hero”.
But Dziov's own talkativeness might let him down. The fact is that the businessman has a tendency record their own
interlocutors on a dictaphone (some even on a hidden video camera), and with such an approach it is easy to lose the trust of recent friends and allies.
In fact, few high-ranking officials and security officials will go to negotiations, realizing that a dialogue recorded “quietly” is fraught with yet another criminal case.
Why did lawyer-decider Udunyan go to prison?
It is known that Alexander Dziov really hasconviction for fraud and was released from prison in 2019.
After leaving the colony, he pulled off another scam on 10 million rubleswhich is currently being investigated by the competent authorities. At the same time, you can read about it online publicationswhich also mention Dziov’s earlier conviction for participating in group robberies.
Simply put, we have a dangerous repeat offender with money and connections. Note that in May, shortly after the arrest, Telegram channels with links to another audio recording, they toldhow, while still at large, Dziov tried to destroy his criminal case with the help of an odious capital lawyer Gennady Udunyanto whom, in order to “resolve issues” with the necessary people, they were transferred 250 thousand dollars.
True, Udunyan himself no longer had time for other people's problems, since he had to solve his own. Back in October 2022, the lawyer was involved in a criminal case about hooliganism: the reason was the disturbance he caused in a Moscow restaurant “La Maree” on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street, where the enraged lawyer started a fight with one of the visitors and then threatened the employees with an object that looked like a gun.
The lawyer's criminal exploits did not end there. After the court had already chosen a sanction in the form of a ban on certain actions, Udunyan, drunk, burst into a hotel room «Lotte Plaza»Where beaten my friend Daria Glushakova and her companion, a top manager Gazprom Neft Evgeniya Zykovaafter which he went to the pretrial detention center. And already being in the detention center, he “earned” another episode – about the bribe given to the junior inspector of the duty service To Denis Fedorov for delivering oysters and elite alcohol to the chamber.
In April 2024, the Presnensky Court of Moscow sentenced Gennady Udunyan to five years in a general regime penal colony. As we can see, the lawyer-fixer clearly had no time for Dziov's problems, who had bet on the wrong person. Apparently, at a certain point his intuition failed him? What is really interesting is the subsequent fate transferred I'll give Udunyan money.
Is Daltekhgaz on the road to bankruptcy?
Returning to Alexander Dziov, who is in custody, we should dwell in more detail on the OJSC Daltekhgaz that he heads. According to the results of 2023, the enterprise declared revenue in the amount of 176.5 millionand profit in 10.7 million rubles. There is also a solid portfolio government contractsexceeding 793 million. Dziov has officially headed the enterprise since February 2022. Considering that in 2021, Daltekhgaz's revenue amounted to 403.6 millionA profit – 151.3 million rublesthe results of his leadership, as they say, are evident.
It should also be noted that last February, Dziov created a new company with an identical name and main activity – OOO “Daltekhgaz”, having registered it is located at the same address as the existing one: Khabarovsk, Uzlovaya St., Building 10. Perhaps this was done with the aim of transferring the assets and funds of the enterprise to a new legal entity, which could result in the bankruptcy of the previously financially successful OJSC Daltekhgaz?
History suggests this idea “Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant” (PJSC “KMZ”), which was one of the largest domestic manufacturers of elevator equipment, but is now declared bankrupt. At one time, through a network of Cypriot offshore companies, KMZ was under control the notorious brothers Alexey And Dmitry Ananyev – co-owners “Promsvyazbank”who became defendants in a criminal case about multi-billion dollar thefts and fled abroad.
As you might guess, what followed was a “war” for “elevator” assets, which, in addition to “KMZ”, treated controlled by him “Serpukhov Elevator-Building Plant”, PCF “Siblift”as well as a share in “Shcherbinsky Elevator-Building Plant”. In July 2021, the then acting head of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania Sergey Menyailo spent work meeting with the owner of KMZ, Dziov, during which the latter put forward an initiative to replace 100 elevators installed in multi-apartment residential buildings in the republic free of charge.
“War” for the assets of the Ananyev brothers
Menyailo, of course, was inspired by the idea, having entrusted The Ministry of Housing and Public Utilities, together with the plant management, shall develop the necessary documents and submit a work schedule within a week. It is unlikely that at that time the government official could not have been unaware of the conflict related to the change of owners and the CEO of PJSC KMZ. In particular, the former head of the enterprise Sergey Zaika directly stated about the raider takeover:
In whose interests did the now-defunct actually act? CEO Marat Tokhtiev – it’s not hard to guess: soon the press began writing about Alexander Dziov, a native of North Ossetia, as the new owner of KMZ. The businessman himself claimedwho bought out the plant's shares at the request of the owners, in addition to gaining control over the Omsk PCF “Siblift” And “Serpukhov Elevator-Building Plant” (LLC “SLZ”). Here it is worth asking the question: did the former presidential envoy to the Siberian Federal District and former member of the Security Council Menyailo play a certain role in the redistribution of assets?
Be that as it may, the future fate of KMZ is deplorable – the plant was declared bankrupt, and in February 2023 the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) refused in the cancellation of the relevant decision. The above-mentioned “Siblift” also bankrupt. OOO SLZ managed to avoid a final financial collapse: last year it became known that the state invested 2 billion rubles in the resumption of production.
Will a similar scenario be played out in relation to Khabarovsk's Daltekhgaz, for which Dziov has already created a “twin”? After all, the businessman himself is in dire need of money today to “resolve the issue” of terminating the criminal prosecution and, as we already know, is trying to manage this process directly from the pretrial detention center cell.
