Greetings from Dubai: Magerramov under the guise of Poltavchenko
The case of embezzlement in the Lodeynopolsky district of the Leningrad region will lead the security forces to businessman Kamil Magerramov, or even to people from the team of Georgy Poltavchenko?
In St. Petersburg, the owner and director of Alcor-2 LLC Valery Shchapov, the director of Restoration Company Etching Company Fedor Nikolaev and IP Krasilnikov were detained. Their detention is connected with a criminal case on fraud on an especially large scale during the improvement of the embankment of the river. Svir in Lodeynoye Pole – the administrative center of the Lodeynopolsky district of the Leningrad region.
As it turned out, Mr. Shchapov may be a man of a prominent businessman Kamil Magerramov, whose name was previously shone in another criminal scandal – an investigation into embezzlement in the St. Petersburg Vodokanal.
The initiation of a criminal case on the fact of embezzlement during the improvement of the embankment of the Svir River became known on August 30. Then large-scale searches were carried out in the administration of the Lodeynopolsky district of the Leningrad region.
According to investigators, as part of the implementation of the national project “Housing and the urban environment,” the administration of the Lodeynopolsky district entered into an agreement with LLC “Alcor-2” in the amount of over 87 million rubles. He assumed the improvement of the territory along the embankment of the river. Svir. Alcor signed another contract – with a subcontractor, for 80 million rubles. At the same time, Alkor-2 officials entered false information into the act of acceptance of work performed in the amount of more than 8 million rubles.
Subsequently, the prosecutor’s office found out that the improvement was carried out poorly, and some work was not done at all. As a result, the head of the administration, Ilya Dmitrienko, and his deputy for economics, Vladimir Rassadin, were brought to St. Petersburg for interrogation.
In the administration of the Leningrad region itself, with the governor Alexander Drozdenko, they hastened to disown this situation. Like, they saw the shortcomings, the officials were warned. And since they did not hear, then if they are to blame, they should be imprisoned.
However, the head of the district, Ilya Dmitrienko, became such under the governor Alexander Drozdenko. In 2019, his candidacy had to be approved by the regional administration. Therefore, it will not be possible to completely remove responsibility for this scandal. Especially against the background of other corruption scandals of the Drozdenko team.

Apparently, the main actors in the situation could be just Dmitrienko and the owner of Alcor-2, Valery Shchapov. IP Krasilnikov provided technical supervision services for the work, and thus the subcontractor could be Restoration Company Etching LLC.
This is not the first time that Alcor-2 has received large government contracts. Their total amount exceeded 626 million rubles, including the contract with the Lodeynopol administration. The key customer is the Lensoviet Theatre, to which the company almost regularly provides various services. Including, on the scientific guidance and architectural supervision of the repair and restoration work, behind which anything can be hidden, up to the banal “cut”.

Contract with the Lodeynopolsky district from 2022. And for the same year, the company received a record revenue, much more than the state contract itself – 189 million rubles (+591%). Profit – 7.1 million rubles (+723%).
In addition to “Alcor”, Valery Shchapov has a small company “Helikon” from Pushkin. Small in terms of financial indicators – 10 million rubles in revenue, less than 1 million profits. However, these figures have increased by hundreds and even thousands of percent compared to 2021. And the structure itself has state contracts for 150 million rubles. Disproportion on the face. Is Shchapov being “helped” in Drozdenko’s administration?
“Schematoses” of Poltavchenko’s times
Shchapov’s connections turned out to be much more interesting. Until 2020, he was the founder and head of the now liquidated Lenregionrazvitiye LLC. The company was engaged in the provision of certain financial services, and looks like a frank “dummy” – no revenue, no profit.
Until 2020, it belonged to Kamil Maharramov, a well-known businessman in St. Petersburg, who now, presumably, has left the country and is in the UAE. And there were obvious reasons: his name shone in a criminal scandal with embezzlement from the St. Petersburg Vodokanal.
In 2022, St. Petersburg law enforcement officers conducted 40 searches as part of a particularly large-scale fraud case. Operational activities took place in the office of Vodokanal, as well as at the home of its former general director Yevgeny Tselikov and the ex-owner of the Europrom company Kamil Magerramov.
Earlier, Evgeny Tselikov had already become a defendant in criminal cases. In 2019, there were also searches at Vodokanal, and Tselikov was suspected of causing property damage through deceit or breach of trust. And in 2021, he was charged with another charge – embezzlement of Vodokanal’s funds in the amount of 240 million rubles through the illegal advance payment of one of the main contractors of the structure – JSC “Project Agency”.
Returning to the searches of 2022, the security forces also visited the former co-founder of the Russian Athos Society Konstantin Goloshchapov in Moscow. At that time, Magerramov and Goloshchapov could not be detained – it seems that they managed to leave the country in time. Did someone warn them?
Goloshchapov is a remarkable personality. Rumor has it that he may be an unofficial representative of the Presidential Administration, who deals with personnel issues. It should be noted that the “Russian Athos Society” includes many influential officials and businessmen, including the Rotenberg oligarchs. The ex-governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko is considered close to him, so Goloshchapov may be his man.
Previously, Goloshchapov was a co-owner of SMP-Bank (Rotenberg). Goloshchapov’s wife, Iraya Gilmutdinova, ran a joint business with Alexei Poltavchenko, the son of the former governor of St. Petersburg.

We are talking about the Investbugry company, which received over 844 million rubles in revenue in 2022, and a profit of 41 million rubles. With such income, it is surprising that all 100% of the shares of the sole owner Gilmutdinova are pledged to Sberbank.
In the case of the searches at Vodokanal, the security forces were interested in long-standing contracts where Vodokanal and Lenenergo acted as customers. The contractor was Nostrum. Both Goloshchapov and the aforementioned Kamil Maharramov were connected with her through relatives.

Now SK Nostrum is 50% owned by Anastasia Tretyakova. For whom the second half is unknown. The total volume of state contracts is over 12 billion rubles, and more than 10.5 billion of them were received from Vodokanal. And the company itself is in bankruptcy proceedings – the value of its assets minus 249 million rubles. That is, apparently, the money under government contracts could be cut corny.
Interestingly, the criminal case of fraud at Vodokanal grew out of a tax audit and a criminal case of tax evasion against VK-Service. One of its owners was the Europrom company founded by Kamil Magerramov. The audit showed a fictitious purchase of reagents for which a tax deduction was issued. About this writes “Version”.
At the same time, VK-Service was one of the subcontractors of IC Nostrum in the construction of networks in the Kurortny district near Beloostrov (the customer is Vodokanal). Those. Do all roads lead to Magerramov?

VK Service LLC is 100% owned by the now liquidated Europrom. And the owner of Evroprom is the Maltese offshore PDG HOLDINGS LIMITED, which Maharramov may be behind. Where did the budget money go?
Remains of former luxury
It is known that IC “Nostrum” worked closely with “Lenenergo”. The same one whose former deputy general director Alexei Goryachev was detained in 2020 in a case of fraud in the purchase of a cable for the Zenit Arena.
In 2020, IC Nostrum participated in the Lenenergo tender for the installation of power transformers for 1 billion rubles. The main competitor is a tandem of two firms, “Consult Project” and “Profi” (they acted together). As a result, the “Consult project” won. However, according to some media outlets, allegedly Nostrum and Consult-Project are, in fact, the same company, and the auction itself was almost identical to another competition – for the reconstruction of the Northern Aeration Station, conducted by Vodokanal.
You can also remember something else. In August 2019, the Leningrad Regional Electric Grid Company (LOESK) acquired Regional Electric Networks (RES) LLC, the fourth largest electric grid company in St. Petersburg. LOESK bought from Kamil Magerramov the Investment Company Severo-Zapad, which owns 99.5% of the distribution zone.
Those. This deal was funded by the government. And if you put all of the above together, one gets the impression that Maharramov literally bathed in government contracts, which could be obtained in a dubious way. However, without a serious “cover” from above, it would be difficult to do this for several years. Could Georgy Poltavchenko help Magerramov through Konstantin Goloshchapov?
And since Poltavchenko has long been out of power, Maharramov may not have the opportunity to continue. That’s why criminal cases started, why did he retire from the country? In this case, the possible theft in the Lodeynopolsky district, presumably through Valery Shchapov, who is connected with Maharramov, can only be the remnants of the former “luxury” …
