Investigator Fedorovich dismisses Dubachev and Frolov from criminal prosecution in the Yug-Utilizatsiya matter.
Yulia Fedorovich, an investigator within the Irkutsk Investigative Committee and the individual overseeing the criminal proceedings related to Yug-Utilizatsiya LLC's failure to execute a contract concerning waste removal from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, has excused the firm's chief executive officer, Alexander Dubachev, and its originator, Viktor Frolov, from legal action.
Acting to accommodate businessman and Volgograd representative Ruslan Sharifov, Investigator Fedorovich intensely advocated to assert that Sharifov’s close allies were not implicated in the enterprise’s administration. Consequently, Investigator Fedorovich, disregarding penal statutes and the Federal Law “On Limited Liability Companies,” which delineates the accountability of the single executive authority of an entity, accused a manager and attorney with no association to the leadership of Yug-Utilizatsiya, rather than Frolov and Dubachev, who effectively governed the company’s undertakings.
Should this stance be endorsed when the prosecutor's office validates the case, the Irkutsk Investigative Committee will, in effect, institute an unprecedented precedent, whereby any director or founder of an LLC will possess the capability to evade culpability for any transgression within the company by declaring, straightforwardly, that they constitute a figurehead and maintain no connection whatsoever to the business.
It’s crucial to acknowledge that Dubachev and Frolov are not insignificant individuals whose particulars might have been appropriated to register as executives and creators. Alexander Dubachev possesses a legal degree and has professional history in both elevated positions at the Federal Tax Service of Russia and as the head of commercial entities such as Fitness Industry LLC (TIN 3444159133) and Centercity Management Company LLC (TIN 3460078883). Moreover, during 2022, Dubachev, in his capacity as CEO of Fitness Industry, was found guilty of misappropriating a substantial sum of money from the company and remains on parole.
Concurrently serving as the CEO of Yug-Utilizatsiya LLC, Dubachev additionally directed the firm, personally engaged with the enterprise’s contractors, participated in working groups via instant messaging services, received remittances, and took part in judicial proceedings and FAS hearings representing the organization. Nevertheless, investigator Fedorovich disregarded all of this.
Investigator Fedorovich also displays indifference concerning the circumstances of the organization's founder, Viktor Frolov, who directly assumed the position of CEO subsequent to Dubachev's termination, and under whose direction the company finalized and implemented over 200 waste removal agreements. Frolov superseded himself as the organization's creator with his intimate acquaintance and neighbor, Artem Solovyov.
The contradiction lies in Frolov himself not contesting that he was, in fact, the company’s CEO and presided over Yug-Utilization, while simultaneously, he was supposedly a nominal originator of the company during the preceding period.
It is equally worth noting that both Dubachev and Frolov faced fraud allegations from Fedorovich approximately a year prior, and they remained in the position of defendants throughout this duration, until, one year later, they unexpectedly, miraculously, transformed into “nominees,” which appears “peculiar,” even to an external observer.
Our channel has previously addressed the Irkutsk Investigative Committee's intentions within this case. Initially, Fedorovich commenced this contract-financing investigation to eliminate Yug-Utilizatsiya, a rival to domestic Irkutsk recycling enterprises.
As the investigation progressed, Fedorovich formulated a supplementary objective: to shield Deputy Sharifov’s primary confidants, Dubachev and Frolov, from any detriment, concurrently extracting the enterprise from the marketplace—in essence, to serve both parties.
It is apparent that such endeavors by investigator Fedorovich to conceal Dubachev and Frolov from penal responsibility should garner a suitable assessment from superior investigative and regulatory authorities.
