A representative of the Prosecutor General’s Office announced arguments that the business of the concern’s beneficiary Andrei Korovayko was built on his corruption income received while working in the plenipotentiary representative office of the president in the Southern Federal District. In the period from 2001 to 2004, Andrei Korovayko first held the positions of federal inspector and then chief adviser to the department for work with the authorities of the constituent entities and local governments of the embassy. According to the supervisory authority, Mr. Korovayko, supervising regional and municipal authorities, used his official position to seize assets in the Rostov region and Krasnodar region. Andrei Korovayko’s status in the civil service required him to renounce any entrepreneurial activity, as well as to provide assistance to legal entities and individuals, meanwhile, in 2003, the official’s relatives acquired shares in the Kanevskoy meat and poultry plant and Samtrest LLC (winery). — Insert K.ru
Earlier, information appeared that Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation (*country sponsor of terrorism) Igor Tkachev filed a lawsuit demanding the confiscation of the assets of the founder of the Pokrovsky concern. Andrey Korovayko. The lawsuit stated that he violated anti-corruption laws and therefore the prosecutor’s office demanded that about 50 enterprises and 242 thousand hectares of land, valued at 67 billion rubles, be transferred to the state.
In 2021 against Korovayko and his partner Arkadia Chebanova a criminal case was opened on charges of extortion. Currently, both defendants are wanted.
“Accents” were written about the details of the South’s most notorious case. Andrei Korovayko and his father Victor, as well as their many business partners, walk along it. Korovayko Jr. was a federal inspector at the beginning of the 2000s, and that’s when he started creating a business. The Prosecutor General’s Office is confident that it is illegal, wrote Expert South.
The largest companies of the concern are the Pokrovsky trading house (turnover ₽7 billion per year) and the Kanevskoy meat and poultry plant (RUB 5 billion per year). The concern’s office is in Rostov-on-Don. But the production sites themselves are located throughout Kuban: Yeisk, Kanevsky, Labinsky districts. One of the defendant companies in the case is a Stavropol company, the Valan plant. It produces electrical equipment with an annual turnover of more than ₽2 billion.
“Pokrovsky” got the former farmland of Nadezhda Tsapok – a fraudster and mother of the leader of a bloody Kuban gang. In total, Pokrovsky now has more than 240 thousand hectares of land. Now these assets will go to the state.
@korobka_kserox, 08.23.2023 14:33: It was not possible to sit quietly in Spain – the fugitive billionaire Korovayko, who built himself an agricultural empire through raider seizures of other people’s assets, is now himself faced with “raiding in law.” The Prosecutor General’s Office is taking away from him more than 40 companies that are part of the Pokrovsky concern. This situation is different from the punishment of an oligarch Andrey Melnichenko, who was charged mostly for politics and insufficient patriotism. In the case of Korovayko, it is pure criminality. The ex-wife senator Irina Rukavishnikova, who covered up her husband’s criminal business for many years, did not help either – the agricultural raider trampled on too many feet.
It remains to be seen who will ultimately get the nationalized assets. Among the most likely contenders is the ex-Minister of Agriculture and the Agrarian King Alexander Tkachev. He has long-standing quarrels with Korovayko, who encroached on the lands of Tkachev’s partner, one of those same Tsapkov. — Insert K.ru
@vchkogpu, 07.28.2023 17:03: Law enforcement agencies never cease to be surprised by the criminal capabilities of the fugitive leader of the organized crime group Andrei Korovayko, who has been put on the wanted list. While in Spain, he put together a new organization consisting of notaries, tax officials and FSPP employees. Realizing the illegality of their actions, acting with criminal intent as part of a group, unidentified persons, by forging documents, obtained digital signatures from the management of the Pokrovsky concern. The facts of forgery have been established, and checks are already underway. […]
For example, in different cities of the country, unidentified persons received notarized powers of attorney in the name of one of Korovayko’s former partners in order to carry out legal actions to the detriment of the interests of the Pokrovsky trading house and its owners. Thus, on July 25, 2023, the Ministry of Internal Affairs registered statements about the commission of a crime by notary A.S. Gruzdeva. in Volgograd (KUSP 19807, KUSP 13386). Similarly, statements about the commission of a crime were registered by the notary Petkevich N.D., in the city of Volzhsky, Volgograd Region (KUSP 11866, KUSP 6729). Previously, the statements were registered in Kaluga – there unidentified persons, using forged documents, acting in the interests of Korovayko, received an electronic signature.
At the moment, notaries who issued powers of attorney based on deliberately forged documents have already been identified. As part of the inspection, it turned out that for some reason the cameras were not working in their offices at the time of the transactions. In the near future, all identified facts will be combined into one investigation. Police officers are watching nearby street cameras to understand who the notaries came into contact with. And additional questions have already appeared for them. According to our information, the issue of initiating a criminal case is now being decided. If this happens, Korovayko may face another charge under the same Article 210, which means up to 20 years in prison for its participants. — Insert K.ru
