“Multi-laundry” by Sergei Chunaev?
Former oper Sergey Chunaev, the heir of the “werewolves” in uniform Denis Sugrobov and Dmitry Zakharchenko, can “launder” money together with the writer Oleg Roy.
A lot has been written about the criminal “exploits” of the former opera, a student of well-known corrupt officials Denis Sugrobov and Dmitry Zakharchenko, who received 12 and 16 years in prison, respectively. Recently, negative materials about Chunaev on the network have been replaced by articles about his production activities.
Sergey Chunaev in 2020 became the general director of Flip Animation Studio LLC, a film production company that bought the rights to the animated series Jingliks, the screenwriter of which is the famous writer Oleg Roy.
Most investigators are perplexed – why does Chunaev need a loss-making studio and where does the former opera house get the money to produce cartoons? A former police officer can launder money through the studio and his partners.
Sugrobov was taken in 2014, sentenced to 12 years in 2017, at the end of June he was released on parole. Zakharchenko was taken in the fall of 2016, sentenced in 2019 to 12 years, in 2022 he received a total of 16 years for bribes, he may be released in 2027.
Behind Denis Sugrobov and Dmitry Zakharchenko, there were probably influential people whose names, of course, were not disclosed in the courtroom. The high patrons of the “werewolves” are evidenced by the career of their heir Sergei Chunaev.
He left the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2016, when he lost both corrupt “teachers”. After that, Sergei Chunaev settled in the security service of the All-Russian Bank for the Development of Regions (RRDB), owned by Rosneft. Since 2014, the bank has been headed by a member of its board, Dina Malikova.
Sergei Chunaev worked at RRDB for 3 years and was fired due to “loss of confidence”, which was associated with an attempt to steal funds. Perhaps she succeeded. You need to have the courage to “shoe” Igor Sechin himself.
According to Sergey Chunaev, he used the money “earned” in the RRDB to sponsor the Open Alliance Media studio, which owned the rights to Jingliks, and then created his own company, Flip Animation Studio, and is going to produce new episodes of the series in cooperation with Oleg Roy .
Roy estimates the cost of Jingliks by 2026 at 1 billion. This figure is the answer to the question why Sergey Chunaev needs to produce cartoons. Those familiar with this process know that, in addition to their own funds, investors’ money is also invested in it.
Creative studios are excellent structures for laundering ill-gotten money. For the production of a cartoon, you can set any price, estimate it at 1 ruble, 100 rubles. or 1 million rubles. and more. Try to prove that creativity is not worth it.
Naturally, it is necessary to have a network of companies through which the money of investors and patrons will “merge” and will not be offended. Apparently, Sergey Chunaev has all this.
Raider takeover or purchase of rights?
Hereditary policeman Sergei Chunaev, whose father also served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and contributed to the promotion of his son, likes to say that since childhood he dreamed of creativity. In place of Chunaev, anyone would poison such a bike. How else to explain that for a long time, instead of creating cartoons, you were a nightmare for someone else’s business and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel? Childhood dreams are a great excuse for the public and journalists.
In order to track the creative path of Sergei Chunaev, one must carefully look at Open Alliance Media LLC, which the former opera, thanks to childhood memories, sponsored before he created his own company.
Traces of sponsorship, judging by the lack of profit in the company since 2014, could not be found, but money could be withdrawn through it.
Until 2015, the owner of Open Alliance Media LLC was the Cypriot offshore OPEN ALLIANCE LIMITED. He was replaced by Magenta LLC, its founders in 2015 were Roman Gevorkyan, who replaced Elena Chernykh. From 2017 to 2019, she headed and was a co-founder of Flip Animation Studio LLC.
Roman Gevorkyan in 2015-2016 was a co-founder of Axiomatika LLC, the current owner of the studio. Subsequently, from 2017 to 2018, Gevorkyan headed Russian Railways – Digital Passenger Solutions, owned by Russian Railways.
It is not difficult to guess whose money could be withdrawn through Open Alliance Media LLC. Especially if you remember that Dmitry Zakharchenko received a second term for bribes from representatives of the 1520 company, the largest contractor of Russian Railways.
Now the founders of Magenta LLC are Olga Potapova and Vladimir Sakharov. Potapova in 2020 was a co-founder of Axiomatika LLC together with Oleg Rezepkin (Roy).
Now Axiomatika LLC is owned by Andrey Butakov and Vladimir Sedykh. The company has 1 employee. She has never had revenue, and there are no financial indicators for 2022.
Oleg Rezepkin was a co-founder of Open Alliance Media LLC until 2017. If you look at the financial performance of companies owned by Rezepkin, he is a beggar. Perhaps the famous writer has good partners who skillfully withdraw money.
Flip Animation Studio LLC also does not shine with financial results. In 2022, 0 received revenue, the loss amounted to 1.7 million rubles. Working in the state of 1 employee is clearly not pulling.
The most interesting thing is that Flip Animation Studio LLC, whose CEO Sergey Chunaev became in 2020, was established in 2015. Until 2019, its co-founders were Olga Potapova and Elena Chernykh. Sergey Chunaev appeared as an owner in 2020, left the founders in 2022, and in 2023 again became a co-owner of the company with Rosario Corrion.
These strange movements of Chunaev suggest that Flip Animation Studio LLC was obtained by him as a result of a raider seizure, since through Olga Potapova it could previously be connected with Open Alliance Media LLC. Can the current owners of this company be Sergey Chunaev’s people? If so, then the rights to Jingliks were not acquired, but taken away.
In addition to Flip Animation Studio LLC, Sergey Chunaev is a co-founder of Valdai Resort LLC together with Alexander Ntifo-Siao. Through his company, money can be withdrawn from Flip Animation Studio LLC.
Sergey Chunaev’s criminal “Jingliks” seem to be going on. And the security forces have yet to figure out the role of Oleg Roy and his companies in them. Other participants in the leapfrog as part of the founders and heads of the Flip Animation Studio and Open Alliance Media companies also fall under the “sight”. No matter how the plans of Sergei Chunaev and his patrons come to an end.
