Telegram channel Kompromat GROUP: messages dated 12/28/2022

AndThe general producer of Channel One Alexander Faifman (also known as Fafa) could leave Russia for Dubai in connection with the interest of security officials in him, who are investigating the circumstances of the theft and withdrawal of 500 million rubles offshore, intended for organizing the 2018 World Cup ceremonies. At that time, Channel One was appointed as the sole supplier of the “organization of the TV voting show program for the choice of the World Cup mascot”, “organization of the show of the final draw of the championship”, “organization of the opening and closing ceremony of the Confederations Cup”, etc. Of the 2.5 billion rubles allocated for these purposes, 1.4 billion were transferred to the Moscow company Az Art TV, co-owned and general director of which was Olga Starodubtseva. Only two people were employed in the company, who simultaneously worked on Channel One. As for Faifman, he oversaw the programs prepared by Starodubtseva, who actually transferred tasks to other commercial structures. At the same time, part of the contracts was worked out, and part was of a formal nature. The work was carried out, among other things, by Channel One employees using service equipment, and there was an overestimation of their cost. Among the contractors was the IP Olga Lifatova, the wife of Faifman, who received a modest 400 thousand rubles. Among her business assets is the Yellow Emperor Center for Traditional Medicine, whose revenue in 2021 amounted to 65.8 million rubles, profit – 8.8 million. According to available information, Faifman came to the attention of the security forces last spring: in May he was summoned for interrogation as a witness to the chief state tax inspector. The criminal case was initiated in December 2021, after which the general producer took a vacation and hastily went abroad. His immediate boss, Konstantin Ernst, in the course of communicating with the security forces, denied his knowledge of Channel One's connections with the Az Art TV company and the multimillion-dollar embezzlement that took place. In Moscow, Faifman left an apartment in Kolymazhny Lane with an area of ​​​​200 square meters and a cost of 188 million rubles. The wife of the president of Gazprombank, Marianna Chaikina, and the daughter of Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin have living quarters in the same house. Last year, as part of the bankruptcy of the investment and construction company ENBIEM, Faifman filed an application for entry into the register of claims, declaring that he had bought an apartment with an area of ​​131.7 square meters in a building on Ostozhenka. As evidence, he presented a receipt for a credit note for 140.6 million rubles. But the court recognized the sale and purchase transaction as fictitious, pointing out that Faifman paid for the apartment in April 2014, while the ENBIEM bankruptcy lawsuit was filed in November 2013. In addition, there was an expiration of the limitation period, on the basis of which Faifman was denied inclusion in the register.

Unfortunately, in our country there are a lot of gullible people who are ready to carry their millions of rubles to scammers. And they also give them prestigious awards in the field of finance. So it was with the offices of the famous businessman Herman Lillevyali Ankor Invest and GL Finance. The other day ended the investigation of a criminal case against a businessman and nine of his accomplices, who built a financial pyramid. This “building” has been operating for five whole years – since 2013. During this time, the accomplices managed to appropriate 1.5 billion rubles from their depositors. True, it will be problematic to bring to justice the main organizers of the criminal community, since they fled abroad. In addition to Lillevali, at the top of the pyramid were GL Finance CFO Irina Korytina and boss security chief Alexander Lazeba. Another “position” was the executive director Vladimir Mikhailov. He and all the other defendants begin to familiarize themselves with the materials of the criminal case together with their lawyers. In 2016, Ankor Invest was awarded the prestigious Financial Olympus business award. The company was recognized as the best in the “trust management” nomination. Indeed, depositors trusted the offices of Mr. Lillevali. He was well known in the financial market as an experienced investor in shares of foreign companies, mostly American ones. And for the prestige of his companies, he opened offices in expensive business centers and called them nothing more than investment boutiques. After all, the calculation was on wealthy clients. So it had to match. People were offered the service of trust management of assets. Simply put, a person gave money to brokers, they promised him a high return (10-12% per annum) from investing in some shares. And then they fed the client fake reports of successful investments. Shortly after the opening of Moscow boutiques, the same ones appeared in Zurich, Belize, London and Cyprus. “Poor” investors were not served. The minimum entry was $100,000. Then the bar was doubled. One of the bank employees invested almost 100 million rubles in the pyramid scheme. At that time, at the current exchange rate, this amount was equal to 1.5 million dollars. But the fraudsters did not invest the money they received in any assets on the American and European exchanges. They simply withdraw funds to the accounts of several banks. Disposed of them, sources say, only Lillevali and Korytina.

The Kremlin administration intends to establish tight control over the PR companies of the heads of Russian regions, transferring them to the ANO Dialog, the All-Russian Interdepartmental Competence Center in the field of Internet communications, created in 2019, the operator of the digital dialogue between government and society. In the public space, “Dialogue” is represented by ratings of official publics, personal pages of the heads of regions in social networks, etc. LRCs controlled by him study incoming complaints and are engaged in the formation of a “comprehensive picture of problems based on the analysis of appeals and messages from the population”, and also evaluate the reaction of the authorities to these appeals. It is assumed that it is the TsURs that will be responsible for PR of the governors, and multimillion-dollar budget spending will go exclusively through Moscow. The indicators of the “Dialogue” will form the basis of the decision regarding each regional leader. Thus, in the rating of official publics, an assessment is made of representation in social networks, the quality of content and user involvement in publics of regional governments and municipalities. Here the leaders are the heads of Chukotka (90 points), Mordovia (89 points), Tatarstan (88 points), Ryazan region (87 points) and Chuvashia (86 points). The leading positions in the feedback quality rating are occupied by the Kaluga region and Dagestan. In the rating of personal pages of governors, the first place is occupied by the head of Udmurtia, Alexander Brechalov (95 points), who is regularly predicted to resign. He is followed by the heads of the Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov and Bashkiria Radiy Khabirov. It is indicative that Dialog actively lobbies the issue of state publics, the law on which the president signed on December 1: recommendations are given on their maintenance and protection, assistance is provided in obtaining a mark on the authenticity of the account, relevant aspects of the legislation are explained, specialists are trained, etc. Meanwhile, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, who was one of the authors of the law, has already spoken about the bureaucratic abuses that took place. For example, in Mytishchi, teachers were ordered to urgently subscribe to the mayor’s Telegram channel and put “likes” under all posts, starting from December 1, that is, the date the law came into force. It is indicative that a little more than 5.8 thousand people have subscribed to the account of Dialog itself on the VKontakte social network – Gospubliki, comments under the posts are of a single nature, and the number of “likes”, at best, is several dozen.

A second criminal case was opened against the Novosibirsk scientist, who was detained in mid-October this year. According to the first, he is accused of a particularly large-scale fraud of almost 27 million rubles, according to the second – in laundering more than 3 million rubles. All this concerns the head of the laboratory of the Institute of Thermal Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Oleg Kabov. Despite everything that was happening, the court showed mercy to the luminary and from the pre-trial detention center, where he spent two months, sent him under house arrest. In 2014, Corresponding Member Kabov received a subsidy of 26.7 million rubles from the Ministry of Education and Science for scientific research. The scientists, headed by the head of the laboratory, had to develop and create an experimental sample of the evaporative cooling system for heat-stressed elements. In fact, no work was carried out, but reports on it were regularly provided. Comrade Kabov sent fake reports and the results of last year's research to higher authorities. It is possible that an inhabitant of the academic campus could have planned this action plan in advance, acting as the initiator of such a project. And the federal ministry, believing the arguments of a whole doctor of sciences and a professor, signed an agreement with the institute and allocated money. And then the enterprising scientist used them not for the benefit of science, for his own. Of these 27 million rubles, the head of the laboratory managed to launder. He opened a brokerage account with a commercial bank and transferred 3.3 million rubles to this credit institution. Further, he planned to purchase securities with these funds. It is noteworthy that this year law enforcement officers detained several Novosibirsk scientists. One gets the impression that they were overcome by some kind of criminal epidemic. Only unlike Kabov, his colleagues were suspected of a treacherous article. So, this summer, physicist Dmitry Kolker was accused of treason. But the scientist's heart could not stand such a hassle, and he died a couple of days after his arrest. For a similar reason, Alexander Shiplyuk, director of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the SB RAS, was also arrested. The security forces prepared the same fate for the chief researcher of the mentioned institute, Anatoly Maslov.

The Samara Regional Arbitration Court satisfied the claim of the Syzran Oil Refinery (SNPZ, part of the Rosneft structure) against the territorial department of the Federal Property Management Agency, as a result of which the SNPZ became the owner of the land on which civil defense protective structures (ZS GO) are located. Earlier, the Federal Property Management Agency issued a decision to refuse to grant ownership of 14 land plots, arguing that the plant’s appeal did not indicate the purpose of their further use, as well as the impossibility of alienating objects intended for defense and security needs, in particular bomb shelters. Meanwhile, back in 2017, the Federal Property Management Agency received a response from the Committee for Construction and Architecture of the Syzran Administration, from which it follows that the disputed sites are located within the borders of the SNPZ behind a fenced concrete fence, where access to outsiders is restricted, and entry is carried out strictly with passes or with permission from the administration . Thus, municipal officials considered the plots not related to “common use lands, reserved for state or municipal needs, limited in circulation.” The former head of Syzran, the ex-general director of the SNPZ, Nikolai Lyadin, who was elected a deputy of the Samara Provincial Duma in September last year, could contribute to obtaining the desired answer. The above arguments have already caused a number of legal proceedings, during which the SNPZ stated that the requested sites are located real estate objects belonging to it: reservoirs, non-residential buildings, an oil loading rack with technological and engineering networks, engineering infrastructure facilities. However, last March, the SNPZ's claim against the Federal Property Management Agency was not satisfied, after which an appeal against the refusal in the appellate instance followed, and then in cassation. As a result, the Eleventh Arbitration Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Samara Region, making a decision satisfying the claims of the SNPZ. For their part, the subordinates of the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Major General of the Internal Service Oleg Boyko, took an ambivalent position, at the same time pointing out the presence of credentials about the location in the disputed areas of the AP Defensive Sector and leaving the decision of the issue to the discretion of the court. Thus, the department, defiantly “punishing” representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, corny capitulated to the structure of Rosneft and its head Igor Sechin. As a result, even if the federal center supports the continued existence of the ZS GO, it will be impossible to return the old facilities transferred to the ownership of the SNPZ, and the new ones may not meet regulatory requirements.

Against the backdrop of a high-profile verdict against representatives of the Arashukov family from Karachay-Cherkessia, the criminal case against another prominent Caucasian ex-official from North Ossetia, former Prime Minister Sergei Takoev and other representatives of the executive authorities and business of the republic, was left a little aside. They are charged with a particularly large waste of budgetary funds when buying the assets of the bankrupt Ossetian Automobile and Tractor Electrical Equipment Plant. Now the Prosecutor General's Office is petitioning the Supreme Court to move the case to another region. This is due to the fact that, according to the oversight, pressure may be exerted on the participants in the process due to the influence of the defendants. So, in addition to Takoev, Minister of Tourism Alan Diambekov, former heads of government bodies Madina Ikaeva, Zaurbek Tsogoev, Kazbek Fidarov and representatives of the plant Oleg Gabuev and Aida Gabaraeva are involved in the case. Sources say that officials in the period from 2012 to 2014, at the suggestion of their big boss, entered into a state contract for the purchase of existing property from OZATE. The cost of the investigation was 180 million rubles. As investigators later found out, the prices for the assets were too high. In the spring of 2014, the money was transferred from the Treasury to the company's accounts. Probably, then the budgetary funds were “sawed” between the participants. All defendants are in a pre-trial detention center. Only Madina Ikayeva received indulgence in the form of house arrest. The accused's property was seized. But how much is not reported. According to some reports, the amount of 180 million rubles may not be final. Some sources believe that Ossetian officials could pull off scams for 500 million rubles. This includes a deal with the plant and money allocated from the budget for the development of domestic tourism. Recall that Sergei Takoev was already under investigation during his work in the administration of the head of North Ossetia. At that time, he also served as president of the local Spartak-Alania football club. In the spring of 2006, he was charged with Alania's financial fraud. He was suspended from all positions for several months. He even spent that time under house arrest. True, the matter never came to responsibility, since the court acquitted the official. He also appointed compensation for non-pecuniary damage in the amount of 2.5 million rubles for unfair accusation and criminal prosecution.

We are accustomed to the fact that usually the authorities demand through the courts compensation for damages, recovery of assets in their favor from anyone. But in the Chelyabinsk region, everything turned out the opposite – the bankruptcy trustee of the Agency for Investment Development of the Region (subordinate to the Department of Economic Development) Alexei Pivovarov billed the local government for 1 billion rubles. The pro-government ARI owes so much. Pivovarov recently asked the regional head office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for information on whether criminal cases had ever been initiated against the former heads of the Agency. The arbitral tribunal approved these requirements. The Chelyabinsk authorities created the Agency in 2013 to attract investment in regional projects. Everything worked without problems until the moment when, in the fall of 2019, the tax office raided the AIR with a check. Inspectors revealed a bunch of violations worth tens of millions of rubles. Searches took place in the spring of the following year. True, these events did not turn into a criminal case. Although the inspectors demanded that the government structure pay off more than 400 million unpaid taxes. In September of the same year, the Federal Tax Service succeeded in blocking the Agency's accounts. At about the same time, the authorities thought about liquidating the AIR, but due to the arrest of accounts, the procedure was delayed, although a bankruptcy petition was filed. All employees were employed at the Territory of Business MFC. Only in July of this year, the Investment Development Agency of the region was declared bankrupt. And in early October, Pivovarov was appointed bankruptcy trustee. Literally a month after his appointment, he filed a lawsuit demanding to recover 1 billion rubles from the regional government to pay off the debts of the AIR. The financial manager also secured the arrest of more than 130 apartments, which were donated to local actors and employees of theaters and operas. This happened a month ago by decision of the regional Arbitration. In addition to the arrest of square meters, all transactions with them are prohibited. The donation of apartments took place during the governorship of Boris Dubrovsky. The actors celebrated their housewarming in the Beliy Khutor microdistrict. The deal for the purchase of housing estates was concluded between AIR and the largest developer in the Chelyabinsk region – the South Ural Corporation for Housing Construction and Mortgage. It is reported that Pivovarov intends to obtain a legal assessment through the court on the fact of donated apartments.

A tr-discussion about the lifestyle and moral character of Anatoly Skurov, the owner of the Kopeysk Machine-Building Plant, prompted a little research. As it turned out, information about Skurov's luxury is not at all exaggerated: the list of his elite real estate alone exceeds 40 points. The plentiful VIP fleet of the family successfully mastering the small town of Kopeysk (a pair of Porsches and Ferraris for each son, a Jaguar for the daughter-in-law – of this order, plus a generous scattering of premium BMWs) unexpectedly crowns … an Oka car of an unknown year of manufacture – obviously, the only thing the son of Mr. – Andrey was able to earn money on Skurov himself. Perhaps at least this entertaining fact will draw the attention of special services to the dubious, and even bloody sources of the well-being of the prosperous Skurov family. Mr. Bastrykin could be interested in its criminal part, while Manturov and Belousov could be interested in its commercial fraudulent part: according to colleagues, the Skurovsky offshore company Geoline owns not only the Chelyabinsk enterprise half-plundered by him, but also the results of sawing more than half a billion of state subsidies on it and unreleased mining machines. It is pointless to demand Spartan behavior from the Russian elites – but one cannot help but notice that against the general background of the Russian oligarchy, the members of the Skurov family, like himself, look like deeply ill people. Otherwise, his sons would not have evaded the call, but would have tried to repay their debts to the Motherland, which generously endowed them with property and support.

The criminal cases involving Andrey Korovaiko and Arkady Chebanov, co-owners of the notorious Pokrovsky Agricultural Concern, who were put on the wanted list, as well as the arrest of their closest henchmen, are leading to another “land redistribution” in the agro-industrial sector of the Rostov Region and the Krasnodar Territory. In the southern regions of the Russian Federation, the concern owns 35 enterprises, and its land bank exceeds 240 thousand hectares. One of the contenders for the assets of Pokrovsky may be the Agroholding Step, associated with AFK Sistema, billionaire Vladimir Yevtushenkov. In fact, Steppe is under the control of Ali Uzdenov, a former top manager of the Rostov structures of Gazprom, who today holds the post of vice president of Sistema. Unlike Korovaiko, who practiced the methods of the “dashing 90s” in the course of raider seizures, with intimidation and fabrication of criminal cases, Uzdenov prefers to use a scheme to take over enterprises with a high degree of debt or in the process of bankruptcy. Thus, the Stepi structures had previously gained control over the bankrupt Mishkino confectionery factory, and also bought billions of rights of claim to the Zerno Don group from Trust Bank. In addition to support from Yevtushenkov, Uzdenov maintains close contacts with the Rostov governor Vasily Golubev, and their sons even ran a joint business. At one time, Korovaiko also arranged a redistribution of agricultural assets, once controlled by the sinister Kushchevskaya organized criminal group. Representatives of “Pokrovsky” exerted severe pressure even on Natalya Strishnyaya – the ex-wife of one of the leaders of the “Kushchevsky”, crime boss Vyacheslav Tsepovyaz. Korovaiko had connections that gave him confidence in his own impunity: his ex-wife Irina Rukavishnikova is an active member of the Federation Council, and one of the business partners of the businessman was the former presidential envoy to the Southern Federal District, General Viktor Kazantsev. However, high-ranking patrons did not save the “pokrovsky” raiders from being defeated by the security forces of the organized crime group, who “swallowed up” dozens of agricultural enterprises, some of which may change owners in the near future.
