“Airplane” gave back from “MIC”?
The largest transaction on the Russian real estate market for the purchase of the Samolet Group of Andrei Ryabinsky’s MITs development group may not take place. And Ryabinsky himself faced big problems.
On the agreement between the Samolet Group of Companies and the MIC Group of Companies on the sale of its assets in the amount of 40 billion rubles. was announced back in mid-June. However, an official petition to the FAS for approval of the transaction was not received at that time. Three months later, there is no information about Samolet’s petition on the FAS website.
Typically, a purchase application is submitted to the FAS two months before the transaction, but the review period can take up to three or four. If the package of documents is prepared incorrectly, then the application is considered not submitted and then the countdown of the deadline for approval of the transaction begins anew.
The lack of information about filing an application for approval of the transaction looks very suspicious. Could the companies reach an agreement bypassing the FAS? This will result in a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles. and a claim from the antimonopoly service to invalidate the transaction. It is unlikely that Samolet would risk its business reputation.
A few days before the announcement of the deal, it became known that the structure of the Russian Guard filed a claim with SZ MIC-MIC LLC for damages in the amount of 67 million rubles. The hearing of the case is scheduled for October 6.
Naturally, the decision to purchase assets worth 40 billion rubles. not accepted three days in advance. The deal was probably discussed for a long time, but Andrei Ryabinsky could have withheld information about the lawsuit. When this became known, the Samolet Group of Companies could turn on the rear one. Dealing with the law enforcement agencies was hardly part of her plans.
Perhaps now Andrei Ryabinsky is feverishly trying to “solve” the problem, but for this it is necessary that the court refuses to satisfy the claim of the Russian Guard, and it does not file an appeal. Considering Ryabinsky’s past dubious contracts with the Russian National Guard for 2.9 billion rubles, the owner of MIC can count on success.
In 2017, the Federal State Institution “4 Central Plant of the National Guard Troops” paid LLC “SZ “MIC-MITS” 730.3 million rubles. for a 1-room apartment with a total area of at least 36 sq. m (area payable from 36 sq. m to 45 sq. m inclusive).
3-room apartment with a total area of at least 72 sq. m (area subject to payment from 72 sq. m to 81 sq. m inclusive) in the same year was purchased for almost 400 million rubles. In 2018, 25 apartments were purchased for 134.4 million rubles, which amounted to 5.3 million rubles each. for 1 apartment. In the same year, another contract was concluded for 847.5 million rubles. for 162 apartments, the cost of one is 5.2 million rubles. What were the prices then in 2017?
The last contract has not yet been fulfilled, although the terms expired in 2021. It is not at all clear where the amount of 67 million rubles came from.
This story may attract the attention of law enforcement officers to the assets of the MIC Group of Companies and Andrei Ryabinsky himself, who has repeatedly appeared in scandals. The businessman, owner of the promotion company “World of Boxing”, was suspected of having connections with the Podolsk organized crime group through the former heads of the all-Russian public organization “Russian Boxing Federation” Umar Kremlev and Boris Ivanyuzhenkov, a State Duma deputy known in certain circles under the nickname Rotan.
If the Podolsk people are behind MIC, then Samolet’s purchase of the developer could be a grandiose “agreement” between the authorities and criminal structures. “Airplane” is associated with the interests of Governor Andrei Vorobyov, whose patron is Sergei Shoigu, a friend of the Honored Rescuer of the Russian Federation, Senator Yuri Vorobyov, the father of the head of the Moscow region.
Ryabinsky sells his debts to Vorobyov?
Misunderstandings with Andrei Ryabinsky’s companies begin with the founders of GC MITs LLC, which are another LLC GC MITs, which has a different TIN, and Park Capital Group LLC. The first LLC “GC “MIC” is headed by Ryabinsky himself, the second by Maxim Kopylkov. The founders of the second LLC GC “MIC” are Andrey Ryabinsky and Alexander Kopylkov, who, judging by his patronymic, may be the brother of Maxim Kopylkov.
Money was apparently withdrawn from GC MITs LLC, where the general director is Andrey Ryabinsky, in 2022, since with revenue of 41 million rubles. The company’s loss amounted to 281 million rubles, a year earlier it was 349 thousand rubles. The 80,415% drop speaks for itself. It is difficult to explain this by economic reasons.
LLC “GC “MIC” has three subsidiaries – LLC “Specialized Developer “Magistralnaya-25”, LLC “Mits-Beta” and LLC “Specialized Developer “Staroselye”.
LLC “Specialized Developer “Magistralnaya-25” is a laying company with 1 employee, revenue in 2022 – 0, loss – 3 thousand rubles. The general director of this “miracle” is Vladimir Tretyakov, general director of 20 operating companies with revenue of 9.2 billion rubles. and a profit of 1.4 billion rubles. This money can be withdrawn through LLC Specialized Developer Magistralnaya-25.
In July, tax authorities suspended operations on the accounts of MIC-Beta LLC. That is, Andrei Ryabinsky has problems not only with the Russian Guard. The company operates without revenue or profit, the shares of the founders of MIC-Beta LLC – MC GC LLC and Andrey Ryabinsky are under the encumbrance of the Sberbank structure.
MIC-Beta LLC has two subsidiaries: MIC Region LLC and MIC Region-1 LLC. Both operate with revenue and profit of 0. Shares of the founders of MIC Region LLC – New Technologies and MIC-Beta LLC is pledged to the Sberbank structure, whose money can be withdrawn.
LLC “MIC-Region” has an earning subsidiary – LLC “Specialized Developer “MITS-Investstroy” with revenue of 3.9 billion rubles. and a profit of only 168 thousand rubles. The company has contracts with the Balashikha Administration for 288 million rubles, but the share of the founder of MIC Region LLC is still pledged to Sberbank.
MIC Region-1 LLC has a subsidiary, Specialized Developer MIC-Stroycapital, with revenue of 329 million rubles and profit of 0. In February, operations on its accounts were suspended by the tax authorities.
Another subsidiary of GC MIC LLC, the company Specialized Developer Staroselye, with 1 employee on staff, is a classic “wallet” where money is deposited. The company’s revenue is 737 million rubles, profit is 1 billion rubles, until 2022 the company did not earn anything.
Even a cursory analysis of the work of MC GC LLC, headed by Andrei Ryabinsky, demonstrates the high debt load of its companies, and this burden could fall on the shoulders of Samolet GC. There are also problems with tax authorities and a possible withdrawal of money. Not to mention the lawsuit and dubious contracts with the Russian Guard.
It is not surprising that the Samolet Group of Companies did not want to buy the MIC Group of Companies. It would have to pay off its debts with its own shares. According to some experts, this could lead to a critical situation at Samolet.
However, if there was an agreement on the purchase, then it may still be in force if Andrei Ryabinsky “solves” the problems of his GC “MIC”. It is unlikely that he will succeed, but in modern Russia, where a company’s image is nothing, anything can happen.
