AndThe Karabanov source leads to the Doev family and the VIS beneficiary Snegurov. Businessmen failed to achieve a revision of the claims of the Federal Tax Service. A long list of conflicts around the bankrupt structure of Gazprom – the company Energogaz, which acted as a subgeneral contractor for the expansion project of the Punginskoye UGS facility in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, was replenished with a criminal case. As it turned out, it was initiated against Alexander Karabanov, the ex-director of Energogaz and the current director of Elektrogaz, which is part of Gazprom's orbit. The manager was charged with tax evasion for tens of millions, but the prosecution was curtailed after paying off the damage in full. At the same time, the Federal Tax Service previously announced illegal schemes identified in the assets of Gazprom for hundreds of millions of rubles. According to market participants, Karabanov is notable not only for this conflict, but also for his close ties with the ex-head of Gazprom Tsentrremont, and now the general director of the VIS Group, Dmitry Doev, with whose name industry people already associate a whole list of high-profile scandals around structures of the gas monopoly. Speaking about Karabanov, experts also pay attention to the figure of Alexander Bochkarev, recalling Doev's relatives, foreign assets in “unfriendly countries” and the ongoing development of billions of state funds.
The Committee of Creditors of the bankrupt structure of Gazprom – Energogaz (according to the data of Kontur.Fokus, the participants of JSC Centerenergogaz – 99.99% and Karabanov Alexander Dmitrievich – 0.01%) did not agree on the approval of additions to the regulation on the procedure, terms, conditions and the initial price for the sale of a 100% stake in the authorized capital of Nauchny-6 LLC.
As follows from the documents posted on the Federal resource, one of the representatives of the committee on this issue voted “for”, two are against. As a result, it was decided not to approve the additions to the regulation.
To clarify, earlier they tried to sell a 100% stake in the authorized capital of Nauchny-6 for 1.8 billion. The auction, however, was declared invalid due to the insufficient number of participants.
The main activity of Nauchny-6 6” – real estate management. The company owns a property complex located at the address: Moscow, Proezd Nauchny, 6. The total area of buildings and premises is 9,859 square meters, the land plot is 16,600 square meters. As the publication said, the address of the complex coincides with the address indicated on the official website of Centrenergogaz (formerly Gazprom Centrenergogaz).
Meanwhile, the operations associated with Nauchny-6 have already become the basis for accusations of Alexey Miller’s subordinates of illegal purposes, and also served as the basis for a statement on bringing Alexander Karabanov, JSC Gazprom Centernergogaz, LLC Gazprom Tsentrremont, Sergei Vladimirov, Nauchny-6 LLC, Alexander Psatiya, PJSC Gazprom and Dmitry Doev (former head of Gazprom Tsentrremont, now General Director of JSC VIS Group).
Pravda UrFO reported in detail on the conflicts that market participants consider to be related to the person of Doev, and associated with the bankruptcy of Energogaz and partners of the head of the VIS Group from PJSC Seligdar, as well as billions of courts lost by Gazprom Novourengoysky gas chemical complex” to the structure of Igor Snegurov with the subsequent transfer of Doev to VIS.
One of the high-profile scandals around Energogaz, in particular, was the claims of the Federal Tax Service for hundreds of millions of rubles. The publication analyzed in detail the illegal schemes identified by the auditors in the assets of Gazprom. But parallel proceedings revealed no less remarkable circumstances.
“In the framework of the criminal case against Karabanov A.D. it was found that the latter, having the intent to evade taxes from the organization – Energogaz, in violation of the norms <…> legislation made by including <…> on tax returns <…> deliberately false information <…>, evasion of value added tax by OOO Energogaz for a total of 55.16 million rubles. <…> Criminal case <…> was terminated by the decision of the Zyuzinsky District Court of Moscow <…> in connection with compensation for damages in full,” follows from the ruling of the Moscow Arbitration Court.
Meanwhile, Alexander Karabanov is a very remarkable person. So, the criminal case closed in connection with compensation for damage, for example, did not prevent him from remaining in the Gazprom circuit. According to Kontur.Fokus, Alexander Dmitrievich is now the head of Elektrogaz JSC (formerly Gazprom Elektrogaz), the main owner of which is Gazstroyprom JSC in the reports. At the same time, market participants call Karabanov closely related to the aforementioned Dmitry Doev.
LLC “New Technologies”. All of them previously featured Anna Arkadyevna Berkovich.
Earlier, Pravda UrFO spoke in detail about Anna Berkovich, who was called the founder of the Alibra School network of foreign language schools and also Doev's wife. In particular, the special attention of market participants was attracted by the fact that a certain Anna Berkovich (Anna Berkovich) became the director of Alibra International Language School Limited, “registered in hostile London.” The publication also mentioned the foreign business of Mikhail Doev.
In addition, market participants, citing information from the Pandora and Panama Papers available on the website of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, pointed to Berkovich's likely connections with the beneficiary of the VIS group, Igor Snegurov.
that, in addition to Berkovich, the ultimate beneficial owners (Ultimate beneficial owner) of the Bergdale Investments Limited offshore were Irina Palkina and Igor Snegurov,” the channel “Bankruptcy of Yugorskremstroygaz LLC” probably described the traceable connections.
At the same time, the experts drew attention to the person of Bochkarev Alexander Mikhailovich. “The wife of Doev A.A. Berkovich sold the educational network Alibra School to her husband's colleague and business partner, Alexander Dmitrievich Karabanov became the new owner. HELL. Karabanov pledged to Alexander Bochkarev shares in the authorized capital of legal entities (New Technologies LLC, Summa Technologies LLC and Alibra Sever LLC), previously acquired from A.A. Berkovich. The term of the pledge is 10 years. Thus, Bochkarev became in fact a quasi-participant in these companies, that is, as a pledgee, he has the rights of a participant, including managing the affairs of the company, by virtue of the law (part 2, clause 2, article 358.15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation),” followed from the arguments of the authors of the resource.
At the same time, according to their data, Bochkarev was mentioned as an adviser to the general director of Gazprom Tsentrremont LLC Doev. We also add that Alexander Bochkarev, for example, according to Kontur.Focus, was listed as the liquidator of Rk-Global LLC, in which the VIS group had previously been a participant.
“So it turns out that after so many scandals around a couple of Doevs – Snegurs – billions of lost courts, criminal cases, bankruptcies, inspections – the people associated with them, apparently, continue to successfully build a business and remain in the circuit of Gazprom. At the same time, business abroad is being mastered, and billions in contracts with the participation of the state budget,” a market participant describes his vision of the situation, emphasizing that “the long silence of law enforcement agencies remains absolutely incomprehensible in this regard.”
