According to investigators, ex-People’s Deputy Berezkin in 2013-2014 organized a criminal group, the purpose of which was to seize $ 20 million from Oschadbank, allocated to the agricultural holding “Creative” in the form of a loan. At that time, the people’s deputy was the actual controller of the company, and his son was a co-founder. According to investigators, after receiving the loan, which was secured by an elevator and a fictitious contract, they were immediately withdrawn to the accounts of the Swiss company CREATIV TRADING SA and the Belizean company Quadra Commodities SA Limited under contracts for the sale of tropical oil products for the specified amount.

After that, $7.64 million was transferred to the Cypriot offshore Pricewaterhousecoopers Associates Ltd for the purchase by Quadra Commodities SA Limited of 100% of the shares of Barcosta Ventures Limited, which owns 97% of the shares of Chornomorgidrozhelezobeton PJSC. The remainder of the $2.32 million loan proceeds was transferred to Titan LTD, another Belizean company, to a Latvian bank account. According to the investigation, CREATIV TRADING SA, Quadra Commodities SA Limited and TITAN LTD were controlled by the same group of individuals.

According to law enforcement officers, Berezkin’s son and daughter now own a controlling stake in Chernomorgidrozhelezobeton.
