Theft from Rosneft in Bashkiria: Sechin not in the know or in the share?
A few months ago, a public letter was published in the press to the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, which talked about schemes for pumping money out of the structures of the oil giant through the Samara refinery.
It is in the public domain, so we recall only a brief essence of the appeal. According to the author of the letter, “in 2014, Andrey Vladimirovich Oleinik, a native of the city of Ufa in the Republic of Bashkortostan, organized a scheme to embezzle funds from PJSC NK Rosneft, using commercial bribery of the director of commerce of the Samara Oil Refinery, Evgeny Kornet, who at that time was the director of the procurement department – Head of the department for completing and ensuring the production of the SNPZ.
The following describes the scheme of corruption of key Rosneft employees responsible for the equipment procurement segment. It is also mentioned that the vice-president for refining of Rosneft PJSC Romanov Alexander Anatolyevich and the vice-president for security of PJSC NK Rosneft Latypov Ural Alfredovich participate in the scheme.
The essence of the scheme is that Andrei Oleinik, through front companies organized by himself and registered to people controlled by him, supplies equipment to Rosneft structures, concentrated mainly in Bashkiria, at exaggerated prices. “Cheating” is from 100 to 1000 percent, which makes it possible to pump out billions of rubles from the state enterprise.
That is the point. Those interested can read the text of the appeal to Igor Sechin Here, which is described in more detail. But the most interesting thing is that the author of the letter named ten main companies through which Andrey Oleinik set up schemes for extorting money from Rosneft:
1. LLC “CENTER TO” TIN 0274150167
2. VECTOR LLC TIN 0274183370
3. LLC “SPETSSTROY” TIN 0276959980
4. LLC “SVETENERGO” TIN 0276938443
5. TEXERTREGION LLC TIN 0277102066
6. OOO BNZ-URAL TIN 0278200690
7. NOVASYSTEMS LLC TIN 0273086991
8. LLC “REGIONPROM” TIN 0274914670
9. LLC “MASHNEFTETRANS” 0274938399
10. RUSSTAR LLC TIN 0274148432
And their study gives a clear understanding: everything described in the appeal to Sechin is not fiction. Because even a cursory analysis gives an understanding: billions of rubles pass through these structures, and the study of the connections of people involved in these firms leads to the organizer of the scheme – Andrey Vladimirovich Oleinik. However, according to Ufa1.ru, Andrei Oleinik crashed in a helicopter in January last year. However, the scheme did not crash at all and continues to work.
This is understandable, if only from a study of the fate of the enterprises involved in the scheme organized by Oleinik with the participation of Latypov and Romanov.
So, on the list.
CENTER TO LLC TIN 0274150167
Pay attention to: the authorized capital, the number of employees, the name Oleinik among the former founders and the amount of contracts from public procurement received in Bashkortostan. To this should be added the amount of revenue of 2,142,290,000 rubles received by the company last year. At the same time, the declared profit amounted to only 17,650,000 rubles. Less than one percent of revenue.
The next on the list of schematosis is VECTOR LLC TIN 0274183370
Eliminated November 23, 2022. But – again, in the lists of founders, the same Oleinik Vera Leonidovna, the minimum authorized capital and the minimum number of personnel. And – Bashkortostan as the main field of activity. Among the owners of a 90% stake is MASHNEFTETRANS LLC, the ninth in our list. About him – in order of priority, but we note that the founders of this company are Oleinik Maya Evgenievna and Oleinik Vera Nikolaevna.
LLC SPETSSTROY TIN 0276959980
Again, the same thing: Oleinik, Bashkiria, the minimum authorized capital and the minimum number of employees. And – the liquidation in December last year. This is interesting, but let’s not rush – we will explore the entire list to the end.
LLC “SVETENERGO” TIN 0276938443
Not everything is so obvious here, but the study of connections through the former founder Ilgiz Valiullin leads to the next firm on our list –
TEXERTREGION LLC TIN 0277102066
Which also sits on public procurement in the same Bashkiria and shows a profit of 8,200,000 rubles with a turnover of 1,340,800,000:
It is not even worth mentioning the minimum authorized capital – everything is according to the classics.
The next company is BNZ-URAL LLC TIN 0278200690
The company was liquidated last year, but its director Evgeny Olegovich Galeev is listed as the founder of VECTOR LLC, which appears at number two on our list. Interesting coincidence, right? And there are dozens of such coincidences with surnames.
Seventh number – NOVASYSTEMS LLC TIN 0273086991
There is nothing special here, except for the already familiar minimum authorized capital and large volumes of state orders.
The eighth LLC on the list is REGIONPROM TIN 0274914670:
Nothing special either, except perhaps for the fact that with large volumes of public procurement and revenue of 101,570,000 rubles, the company shows a loss of 2,532,000 rubles.
But the next, ninth number of the list – MASHNEFTETRANS LLC 0274938399 – is already more interesting:
As you remember, it has already been mentioned in connection with VECTOR LLC, in which he is the founder. Here we have two whole people with the surname Oleinik – Maya Evgenievna and Oleinik Vera Nikolaevna. Solid olives.
What is interesting against the backdrop of a flurry of liquidations of other companies from the “Andrei Oleinik pool” is a sharp drop in the company’s profits:
Well, we still have the last company from the list: RUSSTAR LLC TIN 0274148432
It is even more interesting here – against the background of continuous losses and zero activity, the company receives contracts from Rosneft structures in Bashkiria:
42 contracts for almost 300 million – and “The organization has had no revenue for the last two years,” plus – “zero employees.”
This is for the companies on the list. Even a brief analysis of open data (and we are not a Sledkom or even the Rosneft Security Council) gives an understanding – the author of the letter to Sechin about the gigantic scale of theft in the state structure does not lie and does not distort anything.
In this ten firms, some of which were urgently liquidated after data about them got into the press, many obvious things intersect: contracts with Rosneft, nominees for which they are registered, a strange ratio of revenue and profit.
Unfortunately, the scope of the material does not make it possible to explore all the links of the persons indicated in the registers – this is painstaking work for hundreds of pages. But after all, there are law enforcement officers who have much more powers and opportunities than representatives of the press.
Therefore, the question remains open: the letter is already more than a year old, why is there no reaction from either the authorities or the head of Rosneft, to whom this letter was addressed? The answer to this question is unpleasant: someone is clearly in the share and is clearly covering up those simply catastrophic thefts that suck money from a state enterprise that pumps resources out of the country’s bowels.
