Yan Golubovsky and his wife were given money in boxes
In Nizhny Novgorod, the Sovetsky District Court sentenced the former general director of the Torpedo hockey club Jan Golubovsky. A law enforcement source told the pravda-nn website about this.
According to information, the Sovetsky District Court of Nizhny Novgorod sentenced the ex-CEO of HK to six years in prison and a fine of 300 thousand rubles. In addition, he is obliged to pay the club 15.8 million rubles in a civil suit.
Jan Golubovsky was accused of embezzling money. The scam, we recall, was revealed in 2019. It turned out that the Torpedo club had lost almost 18 million rubles.
On May 16, 2019, two deputy general directors of the club were detained – the head of the team Sergey Malyutin And Natalya Eremina, engaged in finance and economics. In two weeks Jan Golubovsky left the post of general director of the club, which he held since April 2018, “for personal reasons,” and in November he was charged with misappropriation and embezzlement on an especially large scale, and was given a written undertaking not to leave.

As follows from the case materials, Golubovsky and Malyutin lived in the Oka Hotel, in rooms costing 70 thousand rubles a month each. They had to pay these costs themselves, but a rental agreement was signed for the conference rooms. The club paid. But in fact, the money was used to pay for rooms. Also, the general director and his deputy, as follows from the case, spent the club’s money on restaurants and limousine rentals, not only in Russian cities, but also in France and Italy. The so-called entertainment expenses were again not provided for in the club’s budget, but the general director, as Natalya Eremina later explained, told her to “come up with something.”
In addition, as investigators calculated, Natalya Eremina took 13 million 107 thousand rubles from the club in a box. She herself said that she did it on Malyutin’s instructions, brought it to his room and brought it to him. Part of the money went to pay salaries to management, and the general director and his deputies “disposed of the remaining 10.7 million rubles at their own discretion.”
Sergei Malyutin admitted guilt, entered into a pre-trial agreement with the investigation, and paid a million rubles. In August 2020, the court gave him a 4-year suspended sentence.
Also, the court has been considering the case of Golubovsky and Eremina since June 2020. However, only the ex-deputy general director of the club heard the verdict. She also reimbursed one million rubles. The court gave her a 3.5 year suspended sentence.
But Yan Golubovsky, who did not admit guilt, suddenly stopped appearing at meetings. In June 2021, the proceedings against him were suspended. He was put on the wanted list.
It was not possible to establish the whereabouts of the former general director of the Torpedo hockey club, but in September last year the trial in the case was resumed. And here is the verdict. The court sentenced 47-year-old Yan Golubovsky in absentia to 6 years in a general regime colony. However, where he is is still unknown.
