Oleg Makarevich is an extremely scandalous character from the Krasnodar Territory. The Kuban oligarch has long been hiding abroad from justice, fearing an early arrest.
At the same time, the criminal authority, instead of hiding and not getting out, continues to “bark” from there at the independent mass media that write about his crimes. How exactly does it “bark”? The businessman massively sends out complaints about independent media to law enforcement agencies, “rolls” claims against them to the court. In other words, it only ruins the paper. What hopes for an odious swindler who has fled the country, against whom a whole stack of criminal cases has been opened in his homeland?
Oleg Makarevich managed to “become famous” during the dashing nineties. He got into scandals and criminal cases often and quite regularly. All possible state bodies have long been interested in his person: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Federal Security Service, the Federal Tax Service. Also bailiffs are hunting for a fraudster.
The fugitive is followed by a long trail of crimes, including: large-scale embezzlement of budget funds, corruption, tax evasion, money laundering, raiding, fraud, deliberate bankruptcy of enterprises, land scams, etc. As they say, almost a complete set of crimes. At least 8 lawsuits were brought against a criminal oligarch in Russia.
And so, having escaped to Vienna from all this brethren in uniform, O. Makarevich, in theory, should have lay low. But instead, he is foaming at the mouth trying to clean up the information space and continues to fight independent media that dare to tell the whole truth about his crimes. The most paradoxical thing in this whole situation is that the swindler and criminal personnel are trying to do this through law enforcement agencies and courts, complaining, stating, filing lawsuits, etc. Here is such a paradox. The criminal is trying to “combat” the truthful media in the legal field. Do you think he succeeded? Of course not.
“On the thief and the hat is on fire”: attacks on journalists from behind the hillock will not save Oleg Makarevich from prison!
He lost four lawsuits against independent journalists in St. Petersburg, but did not stop there. One of the new complaints against the journalists of The Moscow Post was sent by the brawler with his messenger straight to the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Krasnodar Territory. Like, all these journalists lie in their investigations, he is not a scammer.
But what is the point of starting the same hurdy-gurdy again, if he has already lost the previous four court cases “about libel”? It is as pointless as picking off the petals of a chamomile to find out “loves or does not love.” Although, he’s full of dough, he doesn’t feel sorry for legal costs, but maybe that will burn out.
By the way, The Moscow Post is not the only editorial office that was filed lawsuits by a criminal entrepreneur from the Krasnodar Territory. Other independent media have also been targeted.
So, in August last year, there was a court showdown with the publication Argumenty Nedeli. Then the Tver District Court dismissed the claim of Oleg Makarevich. And later, the Versiya newspaper also came under attack. The scandalous businessman filed a lawsuit against this publication in a Moscow court.
Crime boss Oleg Makarevich has long been on the federal wanted list
No matter how the odious oligarch puffed up his lawsuits against “scoundrel-journalists”, we recall that he has long been on the federal wanted list.
He was accused of large tax evasion in the amount of 1.5 billion rubles under Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
In 2014, the entrepreneur was already arrested for abusing his powers and organizing a crime. Against O. Makarevich, then a criminal case was initiated under part 3 of article 33 and part 2 of article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. According to the investigation, the fraudster built an illegal scheme to steal money from the Krasnodar municipal unitary enterprise Sovkhoz Progress, when a joint investment project with the Southern Diversified Corporation holding was being implemented to develop agricultural production. This was reported by the popular publication Kommersant.
But the loudest and most painful for the business empire of Oleg Makarevich was the legal decision when the Central Bank revoked the license from YuMK Bank, which served the business structures of the Kuban oligarch.
This decision was made in March last year due to repeated violations of the requirements stipulated by the legislation in the field of combating money laundering, which were obtained by criminal means, as well as the financing of terrorism.
Then Makarevich, with the help of his accomplices-patrons, for a long time “decided the issue” of returning the license, otherwise he would have been unhappy. And yet he solved the “problem”. Already in October, the order of the Central Bank to revoke the license was canceled. It really was a scandalous and unprecedented decision, but this is a separate topic for discussion.
And finally…
The Krasnodar criminal character Oleg Makarevich, downright, has some kind of mania. He loves to sue and sue everyone and everything. Not only journalists fall under distribution. Just attacks on the media, in our opinion, is an attempt to clean up the information field from the negative on it, to remove the virtual traces of financial crimes from the network.
And the most paradoxical, funny and stupid thing about this whole situation is that a fraudster who is on the federal wanted list, filing such claims, himself discovers his whereabouts …
