Tatyana Liksutovaranked 140th in the list of the richest people in Estonia with a fortune of 37.7 million euros, changed her last name, journalists of the Business Vedomosti newspaper noticed. Former wife of the Deputy Prime Minister of Moscow Maxim Liksutov, which owned shares in the Tallinn water utility Tallinna Vesi, transferred them to a person named Tatjana Rose. The publication noted that Rose has the same identification number as Liksutova, which means that they are the same person.
@ezhovs, 11.07.2023 08:10: Tatyana Liksutova, the richest woman in Estonia, changed her last name. According to her TIN, the name Tatyana Rose is already displayed in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. As far as I know, at first they divorced Maxim Liksutov fictitiously, and three years ago they parted for real (which does not exclude corrupt business relations). In Russia, an Estonian makes money on rail transportation, cargo storage, customs clearance, and labeling of imported alcohol.
Last year, Liksutova’s Russian firms paid about 100 million rubles in income tax. And there is also VAT, transport tax, land tax, property tax … In total, Liksutova pays at least half a billion a year to the Kremlin budget. Putin’s sponsor with an EU passport. — Inset K.ru
Maxim Liksutov was born in Estonia and started a business in the 1990s exporting coal from the Russian Kuzbass. In 2007, he announced that he would re-register his company Transgroup Invest in Russia. In 2012, Liksutov renounced his Estonian citizenship after being appointed an adviser to the mayor of Moscow and then vice-mayor of the city. The official then stated that he had sold all his business assets.
Even before joining the civil service, Liksutov established Aeroexpress company, whose electric trains carried passengers from Moscow airports to the city. Until 2010, Liksutov was the CEO and owner of a 25% stake in the company.
Currently, 33.34% of Aeroexpress is owned by Delta Trans Invest, which is actually controlled, directly and through an intermediary, by Tor Property, a company registered in Tallinn. The latter is 100% owned by Tatyana Liksutova. In June 2023 she signed the annual report of the company under the name Liksutova.
Delovye Vedomosti notes that Liksutova’s partners in Aeroexpress are the founder of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company Iskander Makhmudov and former president of Transmashholding Andrey Bokarev. Both were sanctioned by the UK and stepped down from their companies’ boards of directors in 2022.
@redacted6, 10.01.2023 07:08: The Baltic States in the post-Soviet period was one big hub for the withdrawal of money stolen in Russia to the West. Partially these funds settled in Estonia and Latvia with Lithuania. The selection of property (including banks) from Russians there began after 2014. However, in connection with the current Estonian initiatives to nationalize funds associated with the Russian Federation, the main question is whether Tatyana Liksutova, who at one time held the title of the richest resident of the country, will be shaken. This is, as it were, the former wife of the Moscow vice-mayor “from the Izmailovo organized criminal group” Maxim Liksutov. The cunning official pumped into the family business abroad several billion euros, withdrawn from the capital’s budget, Aeroflot, Russian Railways and other organizations.
He also helped to pump tens of billions of dollars through Estonia to Andrei Bokarev, Iskander Makhmudov, Sergei Glinka and others. Among them, perhaps, is an old comrade from the defense industry, who invested well in foreign assets and sent part of the family of the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation to live in the West Alexey Krivoruchko.
Tallinn tried for a very long time not to touch the Liksutovs. Maxim Stanislavovich has excellent sponsored (with your money, Muscovites) representatives of several parties and specific officials, including the top of the law enforcement system. Liksut’s companies in Estonia, unlike in Russia, are exemplary taxpayers. However, talk that this golden chicken, for the sake of politics, will have to be slaughtered, has been going on for several months. — Inset K.ru
dv.ee, 07/24/2023, “Tatyana Liksutova got rid of restaurants in Estonia”: The Gianni restaurant and the Parrot bar are no longer formally related to the ex-wife of a high-ranking Moscow official, Tatyana Liksutova. In June, Liksutova’s share in the Gianni restaurant was transferred to its manager Olga Kluge, according to the Äripäev Infobank. Now she owns 60.1% of Lavora OÜ, the remaining 39.9% continues to be owned by Costantino Velianti. At the same time, 100% of MiniBar OÜ, which owns the Parrot bar in the Old Town, was owned by Irina Georgievskaya (through her company Art Grupp).
It has not yet been possible to get a comment from the new owners.
It is normal practice to sell a restaurant to its manager, and for a small amount. […] Both establishments are popular, as evidenced by growing revenue. In 2022, Gianni’s turnover amounted to almost 2 million euros (profit – 134 thousand euros). The Parrot bar managed to double its revenue (727 thousand euros) and reach a symbolic profit of 1 euro. Turnover in this sense is not an indicator, says Roman Zashcherinsky, chef and co-owner of Moon and Kolm Sibulat. Such transactions are common in the Estonian restaurant market. “We handed over the Mantel & Korsten restaurant to the manager,” he recalls. — Inset K.ru
