The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation is preparing papers for the extradition of the former general director of the Antipinsky Oil Refinery, Lisovichenko.
In Italy, the former general director of the Antipinsky oil refinery, Gennady Lisovichenko, was detained. Now the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation is preparing a request for his extradition, a correspondent reports. MorningNews. According to the department, Mr. Lisovichenko was detained on January 20.
Mr. Lisovichenko was on the international wanted list on charges of abuse of power. The investigation believes that the defendant, “against the legitimate interests” of the plant, concluded a contract for the sale of property, which caused damage to the enterprise in the amount of more than 35 million rubles.
It is known that at the end of October 2017, he concluded an agreement with one of the commercial organizations for the sale of a railway access track, which was an important facility for the plant, since trains were moving along it when loading oil products. At the same time, the value of the contract amounted to about 20 million rubles, despite the market price of about 38 million rubles.
In June 2020, the Tverskoy Court of Moscow, at the request of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, arrested former CEO Gennady Lisovichenko in absentia in a fraud case. In the same case, and also in absentia, the president of the New Stream group, Yuri Navrazhny, was also arrested.
A year earlier, in July 2019, the founder of the Novy Stream Group of Companies, Dmitry Mazurov, who owned the Antipinsky Oil Refinery in previous years, was arrested.
The investigation qualified their actions as embezzlement, a criminal case was initiated under Part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code. Mr. Mazurov is also accused of committing a particularly large-scale fraud and causing grievous bodily harm to Yulia Milshtein, who was described in a number of sources as a girl with reduced social responsibility.

By the way, the most serious crime imputed to Mr. Mazurov was precisely the attack on Yulia Milshtein, for which he, like the direct executor, faces up to 12 years in prison.
The attack was committed in 2015 in Moscow. Mazurov denies all the accusations and claims that he never had anything to do with Milstein, so he had no motives to organize an assassination attempt on her.
The Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that, being the owner of the refinery and applying for a $29 million loan from Sberbank, Mazurov misled the bankers about the financial condition of the enterprise. And as soon as he received a loan, he immediately withdrew all the money to third-party offices and appropriated it.
The second episode concerns the withdrawal of funds by Mazurov together with Mr. Lisovichenko. Together, in this way, according to the investigation, they transferred 473 million rubles to the account of a certain individual entrepreneur who did not fulfill his obligations to the refinery. The case against Mazurov was initiated at the request of German Gref. Now Sberbank is the majority shareholder of the enterprise.
Since August 2021, his case has been heard in the Simonovsky Court of Moscow. It consists of 150 volumes.
Recall that the Antipinsky Oil Refinery is the largest independent oil refinery in Russia. It is located in the industrial zone of Tyumen, connected to the main oil pipeline and the oil product pipeline. In 2016, the company ranked 43rd in terms of revenue among the 200 largest private companies in Russia.
The work of the Antipinsky Oil Refinery was stopped due to a lack of working capital to buy oil.
In May 2019, the organization filed for bankruptcy after assets ($225 million to be exact) were frozen due to a lawsuit by VTB Commodities Trading. At the same time, the investigation estimated the loss caused by the actions of the ex-head of the enterprise Lisovichenko at 35 million rubles.
Not only did Messrs. Lisovichenko and Mazurov inflict damage on the Antipinsky Oil Refinery, but the partners of the enterprise also suffered. In May 2020, the Russian representative office of the German GK Grossmann, which provides safety equipment for oil loading enterprises, demanded to be included in the list of creditors of the bankrupt Antipinsky Oil Refinery. The amount of claims amounted to 108 million rubles.
It is known that monetary claims arose under a supply agreement, which was concluded back in 2013.
On the website of the representative office of the German GK Grossmann, it was indicated that the company supplied the Antipinsky Oil Refinery with equipment for 26 tanker loading units and 12 metering devices for diesel and gasoline.
