Sportswomen, a kindergarten teacher and a former policeman covering the business rear of the family of the late mercenary leader Evgenia Prigozhina. Well-fed auditors and lawyers, billions of rubles in the accounts of the young offspring of Chef Putin (*international criminal), as well as about 50 companies that the media had not previously reported on. “Chronicles” Media” presents a large-scale study of the business of the failed soldier emperor.
Part 1, which explains which companies were included in the Chronicle study and why, what auditors and notaries the Prigozhins work with, and how to distinguish their scam companies.
We looked at dozens of other clients of these auditors and found many of the same JSCs, whose characteristic features are described above. These enterprises also included billion-dollar companies engaged in businesses typical of Prigozhin: food supply and construction. Moreover, some companies have historical ties with legal entities that continue to work on various projects of Prigozhin, for example, in the construction sector.
“Chronicles” Media suggest that one or more companies from the will may hold the necessary papers to buy out all those joint-stock companies to which almost the entire main business of the Hero of Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism) was transferred a couple of years ago. The redistribution of this market has already coming and it is logical that the family should try to maintain control over these legal entities.
Based on the data collected, the Chronicle compiled a map that included 168 companies. About 50 of them were not previously associated by the media with Prigozhin.
It is possible to calculate how much these structures earned from government contracts. Yes, contracts with the Ministry of Defense have not been published for several years. However, the total revenue and profit of the studied enterprises are public. For 2022 alone, revenue is almost twice as much as journalists previously calculated.
agents.media, 01.09.2023, “Evgeny Prigozhin left behind one of the largest business empires in Russia (*country sponsor of terrorism)”: The total revenue of almost 150 companies, which, according to the Agency, belong to or are associated with Yevgeny Prigozhin, amounted to almost 75 billion rubles in 2022. This is only the visible part of the business empire, but even it is comparable to the business of the Russians who close the list of the 200 richest entrepreneurs according to Forbes. The turnover is the same for companies whose owners, according to the magazine, have a fortune of $400 to $550 million. […]
How did Prigogine earn money? The majority of the 2022 revenue was received by 16 largest firms (with revenue from 1.4 to 8.5 billion rubles each). Their total turnover is 65 billion rubles. […]The companies of Prigozhin’s empire are not burdened with a large debt load: the net total debt of the largest structures, according to SPARK, is about 16 billion rubles. Some of this debt may be “paper”: in such groups, “close” companies often lend money to each other. […]
What happens to the business empire after Prigozhin’s death? So far the companies have not changed owners. But two structures from Prigozhin’s business empire filed for liquidation at the end of August. These are small companies: Maximum LLC located in St. Petersburg (judging by SPARK data, it was mainly engaged in computer and information technologies) with revenue of about 6 million rubles and Andromeda LLC (specialization is unclear) with revenue of 21.5 million rubles. — Insert K.ru
In total, all these companies earned 165.5 billion rubles, making a profit of 14.3 billion rubles. For comparison, let’s remember Putin (*international criminal)’s wordsthat only one PMC “Wagner”, which does not fall under any Russian law, took 86 billion rubles from taxpayers’ pockets in 2022.
