Among the newly minted Maltese, The Insider found the owner of Metal-Zavod from Kubinka near Moscow, Alexander Minibaev. His company provides metal furniture to regional departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, court buildings, institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Federal Protective Service and the Ministry of Defense. The company’s annual turnover is almost 3 billion rubles.
The owner of the Terra-auto company, Vladislav Rydaev, also had enough money for Maltese passports – he became a citizen of the European Union along with his wife and two daughters. Of course, state contracts did not bypass him either: Rydaev sells cars, including to Rostec enterprises, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and local authorities.
The new Maltese Alexandra Fartusova, according to The Insider, is the daughter of Lyudmila Fartusova, a shareholder and head of the Supervisory Board of Energomera Concern JSC. The concern also includes the Monocrystal enterprise, a large producer of sapphire for the optoelectronic industry.
Monocrystal also acts as a defense contractor. For example, JSC KNIRTI supplies plates made of monocrystalline corundum. This company, part of Rostec, is engaged in the creation of electronic warfare equipment, among its products is the Khibiny for Su-30 fighters.
