How and through whom did Evgeniy Renge withdraw money?
Thanks to the investigation into the activities of coal schemer Evgeniy Renge, the circle of his Russian accomplices is constantly expanding.
Businessman Evgeny Renge, who fled Russia back in 2018, probably thinks that he hid his assets in Russia well. However, investigators have again found companies that may be linked to Renge.
The litigation between Topprom JSC and its former director Evgeniy Renge involved companies to which he issued loans totaling 300 million rubles. The money was not returned, but the court in 2019 refused to satisfy Topprom’s demands.
One of these companies was Sibikom LLC, registered in Novokuznetsk, (Kemerovo region), liquidated in 2019. It belonged to Maria Karavaitseva, the general director since 2015 was Vladimir Matsko. Previously, the head of the company was Karavaitseva, and the founder was Roman Shubin, who now owns the operating Sibikom LLC. All of the listed persons could be associated with Evgeniy Renge.
The existing Sibikom LLC has 1 employee, who in 2022 generated revenue of 20 million rubles. and profit 420 thousand rubles. At the same time, the company’s value has been negative since 2017, which indicates that the structure can withdraw money.
Maria Karavaitseva, in addition to Sibikom LLC, was the general director of Rubin LLC, registered in the village of Sheregesh, Tashtagol district, Kemerovo region. The company was liquidated in 2017. Its founder was Ruslan Rogozin, the head of 8 and the founder of 11 liquidated structures, into which Topprom’s money apparently flowed.
General Director of Sibikom LLC Vladimir Matsko was the head of 10 and the founder of 8 liquidated companies. They could be the final recipients of money from Topprom JSC. Over the year, the companies’ profits increased by more than one and a half times, but instead of continuing their successful work, they were liquidated.
Another company that received a loan from Evgeniy Renge was Metal Service LLC. There are several companies with this name in the Kemerovo region. For example, Vladimir Matsko led two companies of the same name, registered in different areas of the region. Probably, clones were created on purpose to confuse their tracks.
Metal Service LLC, which received the money, belonged to Maxim Kalygin, who acted as a witness in court. The company is registered in Novosibirsk. Kalygin was the head of 5 liquidated companies and 1, which is in the process of bankruptcy, which he himself owns – LLC State Transport Company “Sibir”, registered in Kemerovo.
The company in 2017 had revenue of 1.5 billion rubles, a loss of 3.8 million rubles, since then it has been operating at 0, negative cost – 333 million rubles.
All other companies owned by Maxim Kalygin have been liquidated.
Another company involved in the lawsuit of Topproma JSC against Evgeniy Renge was KDK Mega TR LLC, which transferred money and debt obligations to Maxima LLC.
KDK Mega TR LLC, registered in Novokuznetsk, was created in 2011, received revenue of 100 million rubles in 2012, and was liquidated in 2013. They worked promptly, you can’t say anything.
Investigators may have questions about the former head and owner of KDK Mega TR LLC, Konstantin Mikhailov. He was the head of 4 and the founder of 9 liquidated companies into which money from Topprom JSC could have gone.
Traces of Maxima LLC have not yet been found. In the Kemerovo region there are 11 companies with this name, 7 of them are registered in Novokuznetsk. All companies have the characteristics of “fly-by-night companies” – they have neither revenue nor profit. The former head of KDK Mega TR LLC, Konstantin Mikhailov, will indicate to investigators to whom he transferred the money received by order of Evgeniy Renge from Topprom JSC.
Another partner of Evgeny Renge may be Kemerovo entrepreneur Pavel Savkin, who previously owned more than two dozen companies. Their financial condition indicates the withdrawal of billions of rubles.
Investigators may also have questions about Pavel Savkin. The investigation into the activities of Evgeniy Renge continues, and new names of his accomplices and their assets may soon emerge.
