AndBack in 2017, the developers, brothers Dmitry and Evgeny Kostarev, began the construction of luxury townhouses in the Raduzhny microdistrict (Zonalny settlement) in Tomsk, from which it was planned to form an elite gated community in the future. Only three out of 36 planned block sections were eventually built, but they were not put into operation due to the need to amend the design documentation and the building permit. Long legal proceedings began between businessmen and officials, which ended not in favor of developers. Before going into business, Dmitry Kostarev served as head of the administration of the Molchanovsky district, then as deputy head of the Department of Architecture, Construction and Road Complex of the Tomsk Region. To date, he owns Stroygorod LLC, co-founded by his relative Elena Kostareva. A number of commercial structures are associated with the latter, including OOO IPSK Stroygorod, which she owns jointly with Stanislav Kostarev. As for Yevgeny Kostarev, for many years he headed the Tomsk branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Repair and Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation”, through which billions of budget rubles pass. Meanwhile, in the summer of last year, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “RSU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation” filed a lawsuit to recover 2.6 million rubles from Stroygorod LLC, a debt under a lease agreement signed in 2010. It was about the transfer to Stroygrad for temporary possession and use of three-story non-residential premises with an area of ​​824.5 square meters, located on the street. Tsiolkovsky, 16, building 2, “for production and storage activities”, as well as production and storage facilities on the street. Tsiolkovsky, 16, building 4. The contract was signed at a time when the head of the Tomsk branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise was Evgeny Kostarev, who, despite a clear conflict of interest, leased state property to a company affiliated with his family. The production facilities of the state-owned enterprise could also be involved both in the construction of townhouses in the Zonal and in the construction of other facilities in the region. Moreover, manifestations of corruption in the work of the State Unitary Enterprise have already been noticed. So, in 2018, the ex-general director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “RSU MVD” Vyacheslav Kolesnik, the former head of the customer-builder center of the capital construction organization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Igor Dontsov and the general director of the subcontractor LLC “MarioTek” Nikolai Marusov became defendants in a criminal case on the theft of 140 million rubles, allocated for the reconstruction of three Sochi sanatoriums of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the 2014 Olympics.

Still, a lot depends on the region where justice is done and the local prosecutors. The other day we wrote about the unprecedented mercy of the Ostankino court of the capital, which “finished off” Valery Mansurov, an Ufa businessman and beneficiary of the SU-10 Group of Companies, with a slight fright. A merchant for 30 million bribes to an official was sentenced to a fine of 3.8 million rubles. But the state prosecutor in Vladivostok demands the former mayor of the city Oleg Gumenyuk 17 years in prison and a fine of 150 million rubles. Another item is a ban on service in state and municipal bodies for a period of 12 years. Of course, in the first case we are talking about a bribe-giver, in the second – about a bribe-taker. But in both cases, a particularly large amount – Gumenyuk scored rewards of 38 million rubles. And in both articles the same terms of punishment – from 8 to 15 years. It's just that the solutions are different. But the court and prosecutors know better. Gumenyuk, according to sources, managed to collect bribes in the performance of his duty in two positions. At least, such data are in the investigation. At first, he, in the rank of head of the economic administration of the Primorsky Territory Administration, received about 7 million rubles. With the appointment to the post of mayor of Vladivostok, the official's appetites apparently grew. In this chair, more than 31 million rubles “stuck” to him. He worked in conjunction with his friend, who owns a construction business. He helped a friend get government contracts. In addition to ensuring victories at the auction, Gumenyuk signed the acts of acceptance of work performed by contractors without any problems. The investigation claims that in addition to “live” money, the businessman paid off the accounts payable of the company of the official's son. As mayor, Gumenyuk took patronage over the municipal company “Necropolis”, which is engaged in funeral services. For the general patronage and connivance for more than two years, he received from the entrepreneur Sergei Sirotin. And his acquaintance, a builder, acted as an intermediary between the participants in the “transactions”. By the way, Sirotin was sentenced in November of this year to four years in a strict regime colony and a fine equal to twice the size of the bribe – 62.5 million rubles. Here again I want to recall the sentence of Mansurov. The bribes were given the same, the punishments were completely different. Comrade Gumenyuk became a hostage to his promises. After taking the mayor's chair, he loudly declared that he would not repeat the fate of his predecessors (several mayors fell under criminal prosecution). And he noted that he would work honestly. Apparently it didn't work out. Although it can still be replayed. There has not yet been a verdict, and he himself does not admit his guilt, calling the process nothing more than a “trial”. Although Gumenyuk resigned from the post of mayor at the request of his own, everyone knows that it was the request of the governor after the “infusion” received from Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev. The latter was extremely dissatisfied with the work of officials in Vladivostok. The court seized the property of the defendant. The list includes several properties: residential and non-residential premises, a land plot, a Harley Davidson motorcycle and a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado car. The total cost of this farm is estimated at 35 million rubles.

In the Saratov region, the story of the raider seizure of the large agricultural enterprise Agroinvest continues. Until 2015, CJSC Madin acted as its sole owner, then it sold the asset to businessman Sergei Akimov; and he, in turn, to Andrey Khokhlov. In 2019, Madin came under the control of the Rusagro agricultural holding and found itself in the process of bankruptcy, and in 2021, the bankruptcy trustee Anton Ivanov filed a lawsuit to recognize the transaction for the sale of Agroinvest as invalid and return 100% of the share to the original owner. As an argument, the plaintiff pointed to the underpayment by Akimov of 96 million rubles, despite the market value of the asset. In May 2022, the Arbitration Court of the Saratov Region satisfied Ivanov’s application, and the 12th Arbitration Court of Appeal left the decision unchanged, returning Agroinvest under the control of Madin. Last August, changes were made to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities to change the general director of the agricultural enterprise, Yuri Kapitsyn, to Dmitry Kochnev, and this was done without notifying Khokhlov, who still continued to be a member of Agroinvest. The businessman appealed against the amendments in court, citing non-compliance with the procedure for changing management, as well as the need to conduct an inventory of property and carry out the procedure for accepting and transferring documents. Last November, there was a turning point in the case: the cassation instance returned the case to the Arbitration Court of the Saratov Region, pointing out the need to “ensure the completeness of establishing all the circumstances relevant to the case, as well as consider the stated requirements.” That's just despite the decision made in the Arbitration Court of the Povolozhsky District, CJSC Madin is still indicated in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities as the owner of Agroinvest. Meanwhile, in October, Kochnev, who was appointed general director, initiated the procedure for liquidating the agricultural enterprise, citing its insolvency and lack of property sufficient to satisfy creditors' claims. Only in early December, Interdistrict IFTS of Russia No. 22 for the Saratov Region notified Khokhlov that in order to change the owner on the basis of a court decision, he must provide the original or a certified copy of the judicial act that has entered into legal force. At the same time, the corresponding decision was already sent by Khokhlov to the tax department when applying. In turn, to the request of the Federal Tax Service addressed to the court on whether the record on the restoration of Madin’s share in Agroinvest is subject to cancellation, the answer was received, according to which “this issue is not within the competence of the arbitration court, cannot be resolved by the court in the order of the answer upon request and falls within the competence of the registering authority.

Practically in all regions of the country, especially in the northern regions, road repairs have been completed. The time has come to imprison the officials responsible for this direction. Another detention took place in Noyabrsk, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. When receiving a bribe in the amount of 500 thousand rubles, the deputy head of the road facilities department of the Municipal Order Directorate of the city administration was taken. The details of the official-bribery are not disclosed. It is known that the man during the detention received only part of the reward due to him. What the final amount in question is also not yet reported. But it can be assumed that six-figure figures will soon appear in the case. According to sources, the cabinet road builder entered into an agreement with contractors. He accepted poorly built roads for regular offerings and paid for these works from the treasury. The official did not disdain the overestimation of the cost of such work. The security forces also seized two bribe givers. But they turned out to be in poor health, so they were both sent under house arrest. But the “beneficiary” stopped by for a while in the pre-trial detention center. For the same machinations, the former director of the district directorate of the road sector, Igor Borkun, came under investigation. He is also accused of taking bribes. Only the amount in his case is much more than that of his colleague – 26 million rubles. Apparently, the higher the position, the higher the tariffs for services. Borkun's subordinate, the ex-head of the branch of the road directorate of the YaNAO, located in Nadym, has already been convicted this summer for receiving 1.3 million rubles in illegal remuneration. True, he managed to escape prison. The official escaped with only a fine of 5 million rubles and deprivation of the opportunity to hold leadership positions for the next five years. In fact, he can get a job as an ordinary clerk in some state road agency and continue to collect “tribute” from contractors. But this is just a guess. In April of this year, Dmitry Varakin, ex-head of the YNAO Department of Transport and Roads, was taken into custody. In 2011, he ordered his subordinates to make sure that the two companies he needed, Reskom-Tyumen and Partner Group, won the auction. The auction was held for the repair of rural roads. And then the classic embezzlement schemes were applied with the provision of fictitious documents on the execution of contracts. As a result, the budget lost more than 900 million rubles. At that time, Varakin received a bribe from the Reskom-Tyumen company with a BMW X5 car.

In early December, the deputies of the Oryol Regional Council made another attempt to find out from the communist governor Andrei Klychkov how he managed to acquire a four-room apartment in Moscow, in the Western Port business class residential complex for 10% of its real value. Deputy Diana Voina, who was present at the meeting, asked the relevant question to the head of the region, supported by parliamentarian Igor Rybakov, who noted that the story of the governor's housing has already acquired a “bad smell”, and the question “will not resolve itself.” But Klychkov, accustomed to communicating with citizens mainly through social networks, did not condescend to specific explanations and preferred to remain silent. According to earlier statements by the governor, when buying an apartment, he used some kind of “procedures for providing housing.” In addition, the official referred to his former place of work, emphasizing that he registered the property in his name, which means that it is inappropriate to talk about any “gray schemes”. There were also reports that the wife of the head of the region Valery Klychkov (nee – Yuneva) was registered in the housing register as in need of improved living space. But she could not get registered within the time limits regulated by law to receive a Moscow apartment. It is known that the Yunaeva family in July 2000 registered the ownership of a two-room apartment with an area of ​​53.9 square meters in Novo-Peredelkino. The future communist governor was also registered in the same apartment for some time, indicating it in official reports on income and property as “in use”. At the same time, being a deputy of the Moscow City Duma, Klychkov and his family actually lived in the capital at a different address – in a service townhouse with an area of ​​​​260 square meters in the Lakes rest house in the Odintsovo district. However, Klychkov is not the only Oryol official who is sensitive to the appearance of information about his real estate in the public domain. These include, for example, the former mayor of Orel Yuri Parakhin, who became a defendant in a criminal negligence case. It is known that two households belonging to him are located in the village of Kondyreva and are officially registered with the father-in-law and mother-in-law. Another house in Nekrasovka was registered to Parakhin himself, but then his wife sold the property to a certain “young family”. It is possible that the deal could be fictitious, and the relatives of the ex-mayor from the Kurgan region (where his parents are from) became the new owners: a car with license plates from the neighboring region repeatedly appeared on the territory of the household.

Oksana Vlasenko, a well-known hauler in the Vladimir region, despite the fact that she had already been sentenced to a real term of imprisonment, again became a defendant in a bribery case. If in the first case she was given 4 years in a penal colony for 5 episodes of corruption worth more than 13 million rubles, then the sixth time the numbers are much more modest. The first deputy with the prefix “ex” of the director of the department of property and land relations of the region is accused of receiving 300 thousand rubles from an employee of a private company. By the way, this lady also came under investigation under two articles – bribery and fraud. If everything is clear with the first article, then with the second it is very interesting. A woman, in order to pay Vlasenko for winning the auction when choosing a contractor for the annual festival in Suzdal, fraudulently stole the same 300 thousand rubles from the director of the company. The criminal case against Vlasenko began to be considered in court last fall. At the same time, there were proceedings in the case of her former boss, the ex-head of the department, Pavel Panfilov. The materials on both officials were combined into one production. They have established a system for receiving kickbacks in the implementation of national projects. In particular, this concerned the construction of social facilities. For example, polyclinics in the Sudogodsky district, a school in Kameshkovo, a health center in Kirzhach and a number of others. The accomplices earned more than 13 million rubles on kickbacks in just a year – from August 2019 to July 2020. Vlasenko, in addition to a four-year term, also received a fine of 10 million for her actions. Also, she will not be able to work as a civil servant for seven years. Bribes in the property department were practiced not only in the external, but also in the internal circuit. Moreover, in a leadership environment. The investigation claims that the deputy director (surname not named) bought from her boss (also anonymous) an extension of the labor contract. The cost of such an extension was estimated at 1.2 million rubles. According to sources, the head of the executive branch did not have the authority to extend this.

We reveal the details of the biography and shadow schemes of the ex-leadership of Plus-Bank. Now in Omsk, the bankruptcy case of Istok Capital LLC is being considered, within the framework of which it became known about these schemes. The focus is not only on the Russian bank, but also on the once richest Kazakh Tsesnabank. Istok Capital was used as a pad to replenish the working capital of Plus-Bank from Kazakhstan, and as it turned out, was not the only one who received non-performing loans and was affiliated with the former management of Plus-Bank. Plus Bank PJSC and Tsesnabank JSC also concluded an agreement on the assignment of claims on the previously issued loan to System INN LLC. This company with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles was granted a loan of 8 billion tenge (more than 1 billion rubles). Everything was so open that until 2011, the founder of this company was Alexei Parfenov, who at that time held the position of managing director at Plus Bank PJSC. It was Parfenov who lobbied for the issue of concluding an agreement with System TIN. Now the company, of course, is in bankruptcy proceedings, and the amount of included claims is 5.9 billion rubles. Parfyonov's career path is interesting, according to open sources, he previously worked at the Ralph private security company and in 2010 he also took courses on the personal protection of top officials, while in the same year he becomes a shareholder and member of the board of directors of Plus Bank OJSC, and since 2011 has already been a managing director. For the first time, Alexey Parfenov was mentioned as a banker in the official report of Omsk Plus Bank dated October 2010. At the same time, during 2011, Parfyonov was also simultaneously listed as the chief manager at Corporation-Tsesna JSC, and his wife worked as the chief accountant at Astana Group LLC. The shareholder of Tsesna at that time was the family of the former Minister of Defense and head of the presidential administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Adilbek Dzhaksybekov. Apparently, the contradictions in the biography are not accidental.

Revenge of women knows no limits – a law that does not require proof. The head of the Research Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, Major General Andrey Bykov, probably fell victim to one of them. Due to the denunciation of his former lover and at the same time subordinate Alevtina Vilkova, he is now in the dock. In the Golovinsky court of the capital, the consideration of a criminal case began, in which Bykov is a defendant. He is accused of receiving kickbacks for employee bonuses and receiving bribes for the same cases. The general and his defense insist on innocence and a slander from a former mistress. They call the woman's act nothing more than revenge for the fact that one day the boss caught her forging documents and initiated an internal audit. The lady was threatened with dismissal without the right to retire. So that's what all the boron cheese is for! For a brighter future living on one pension. Bykov's lawyer also demanded that the court return the defendant's case to the prosecutor's office. He believes that the supervision made gross mistakes in drawing up the indictment. But the judges were not convinced by these arguments, and everything remained in its place. So what is the essence of the accusations? The first criminal case appeared in September last year on abuse of power. According to investigators, the general received kickbacks from his subordinates for admission to the commission, which made decisions on bonuses to employees based on performance. Vilkova, in her first statement, reported that she “bought” herself a bonus from Bykov in the amount of 5 million rubles for 1.8 million rubles. In the course of an audit of his own security service, it was concluded that the head of the research institute from 2018 to 2021 illegally paid bonuses to colleagues for 41 million rubles. Then the Lyubertsy court refused to consider the materials of this case, as it considered that the damage to the budget had not been proven. A little later, another statement by Vilkova formed the basis of the second criminal case against Bykov – receiving a particularly large bribe. The woman wrote that she gave the general 2.2 million rubles as a bribe. In fact, the lady slightly altered the first statement. And immediately there was a reclassification of criminal acts – from abuse of authority to bribery. Further, four more employees of the institute reported on the facts of the transfer of bribes. The amount of remuneration ranged from 60 to 680 thousand rubles. That was the price of the awards. It is noted that during the investigation, the issuance of bonuses in 2018 and 2019 was recognized as legal, but not in the next two years. Andrey Bykov is a military officer. He participated in the settlement of conflicts abroad in the 80-90s, went through two Chechen campaigns, and has state awards. But the desire to fire his ex turned out to be fatal for him.

In November, Phosagro Group, one of the leaders in the Russian phosphate fertilizer market, announced the payment of record dividends to its shareholders: in the first nine months of the outgoing year, they will total more than 41 billion rubles; another 101 billion are the final dividends for 2021 and interim dividends for the first half of 2022, the decision to pay which was made in September. A significant part of the finances will be received by the family of Andrey Guryev, co-founder and main shareholder of PhosAgro, which controls over 48% of the holding. Last spring, the billionaire himself and his son Andrey Guryev Jr. were included in the UK and EU sanctions lists, left the board of directors of Phosagro, and Guryev Jr. also left the post of the company's CEO. True, the beneficiaries of the holding managed to secure themselves by re-registering its Swiss “parent” structures under Russian jurisdiction. Nevertheless, according to available information, Guryev Sr. not only retains his London mansion Witanhurst, but also invests in the creation of numerous foreign commercial structures united in the PUREFERT group and acting as a distributor of Phosagro products. But in addition to “expansion” to Western markets, the Russian billionaire in Europe is waiting for numerous litigations with former business partners. In particular, the transfer of 1% of the company due to him or the reimbursement of the value of the shares is sought by its former top manager Igor Sychev, who filed a corresponding claim with the High Court of London. In turn, PhosAgro co-founder Alexander Gorbachev demands the return of 24.75% of the company: the businessman claims that they were appropriated by Guryev after his departure from Russia, connected with the infamous Yukos case. But the problems of Guryev Sr. are not exhausted by this: there were reports of the initiation of a criminal case against him in Latvia, where Igor Sychev settled, to whom threats of physical violence began to be received.
