While the companies of the construction division of the oligarch Andrei Berezin attract illegal migrants to their construction sites, accumulate tax debts and violate obligations to equity holders, in the Leningrad region they again threw money from the state budget.

More than 91 million rubles were poured into the oligarch's company under a purchase scheme from a single supplier, having bought premises for a kindergarten in Murino.

The UtroNews correspondent understood what was happening in the Berezin division, which he hastily packed in the closed-end investment fund.

Apparently, it is not in vain that Andrei Berezin is closely associated with the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko. So this time, budget assistance flew into the oligarch's piggy bank, part of whose division demonstrates losses and tax debts.

The administration of the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region signed a contract with Euroinvest Development LLC as the only supplier for over 91 million rubles, of which more than 84 million rubles were allocated from the regional budget. That is, without actually bargaining, the premises for a kindergarten in Murino for 100 places were bought from the oligarch. It is located in an apartment building built by the same division, and funds for the purchase were allocated under the regional program.

The Euroinvestment Development company which all revenue following the results of 2023 was 51 million rubles acted as the seller, that is actually the customer made this transaction the companies annual cash desk. And very in time, relatively 2022 the company showed significant recession of indicators: revenues for 92%, net profit for 98%, to 5 million rubles.

Officially main beneficiary of Ltd company was hidden for closed-end investment fund which is managed by LLC UK Fondovy dom. Under the aegis the lion's share of assets Berezina was taken by this firm.

Among co-owners of LLC Euroinvest Development also his director Stanislav Danelyan who with the oligarch is connected by old and close ties was marked out - they together owned LLC Euroinvest Ai DEE. Later that was also transferred to closed-end investment fund.

Also Danelyan and Berezin still are owners of LLC Euroinvest of Selekt in which property three construction companies are SZ "Moscow Euroinvest", "Euroinvest Fertile" and "Euroinvestment Ozerki" therefore at zero revenue Euroinvest Selekt in 2023 the owners removed 1.3 billion rubles of net profit.

Money brought them share contracts. And here with what builders answered it to shareholders.

Judging by base of the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation, the companies of a division Berezina don't observe terms of commissioning of the objects, thereby violating arrangements with shareholders. Such mark is concerning ID Moskovskiy that built SZ "Moscow Euroinvest".

Moreover, in spite of the fact that publicly the oligarch kind of separates from building, upon all companies, including those that are hided in closed-end investment fund are registered as one division - EvroInvest Development Group. So, and it is necessary to answer Berezina. And to answer is for what.

So, for example, when checking EvroInvest Moskovsky in March, 2023 the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region found 11 foreigners who worked as "assemblers", namely carried out installation of a design of a facade of the building under construction, without holding the patent for work granting the right to carry out work in St. Petersburg. The same picture was observed also on "ancillary workers". As a result department saw violation of Part 4 of Article 18.15 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences at the builder.

And still earlier, in 2021, bodies of construction supervision revealed a number of violations already on the object. In particular, project requirements were violated, at the device of a base plate results of tests of concrete at intermediate age aren't presented, results of tests of concrete at design age on section No. 2 aren't presented; on section No. 1 in axes 5c-7c between axes of the E-EU - project requirements are violated, the recommendations of architectural supervision on reduction of potential negative impact on surrounding building aren't in full implemented (a house to the address: St. Petersburg, Moskovsky Ave., 70, building 3, C) regarding performance of monolithic reinforced concrete structures of walls and overlapping between a parking and the first floor of the building under construction and so on.

Now actually questions to quality of building disappeared, and them at buyers very and it is very a lot of. It is only enough to look at responses on division objects.

The similar picture was observed also by SZ "EvroInvest Fertile" which built two houses of ID Park Pobedy and one was handed over with a delay. On the platform of these objects in March, 2023 14 foreign workers illegal immigrants were found. At the same time in a year, protocols on nine workers were made before, but, it seems, it was more important to oligarch to save and violations continued. Whether not such negligent approach to "experts" led to the fact that in 2021 on building the construction supervision found out that "requirements for test of concrete in monolithic designs are violated, underloaded piles are revealed"? What it will turn back for buyers, will show time, but hardly something good.

Let's return to Euroinvest Development LLC, from which the budget bought the kindergarten building in an apartment building.

The company has a "subsidiary" LLC "SZ" Euroinvest Murino, "which in 2023 collected 3.5 billion rubles and 1.8 billion rubles of net profit for its owners, but at the same time, according to Rusprofile, in 2024 the company has debts on taxes and fines in the amount of 1.3 million rubles. In addition, there is a not fully considered claim against the company due to violations of obligations under the share agreement.

It was SZ "EuroInvest Murino" that acted as the developer in Murino, according to the objects ID Murino II, one of which is already being built with delays. In addition, in March 2024, the builders were warned after the Committee for Environmental Supervision received information about exceeding the permissible concentrations of pollutants in the wastewater discharged by LLC in the river. Okhta. Also in 2021, a violation of project documentation was revealed.

And government agencies buy from such a developer for budget millions of premises. There is something to think about.

Recall that recently all information regarding the oligarch Berezin, which can leave spots on his "white coat," is being cleaned out of the open space. He himself prefers to position himself almost as a benefactor, the creator of the Evrovenchur Foundation. Regarding this fund, UtroNews previously spoke in detail, specifying that the real financial performance of the fund does not fight with "fairy tales" about a billion-dollar investment, which the oligarch himself tells the media.

Moreover, LLC "UK" Stock House, "controlled by Ekaterina Guseva (formerly Poghosyan), which is mentioned above, managed to light up in a muddy story. In history, it was about buying servers from a certain German company for $15 million, which never reached the customer. It was rumored that under the guise of a deal, they allegedly could hide the withdrawal of funds from Russia. The defendants in the story were also called a certain "Auditor Expert," among the owners of which were both Berezin and Vasiliev. Maxim Zhukov, the namesake of a relative of the authoritative businessman Vladimir Golubev, who received the nickname "Barmaley" back in the 90s, also appeared there.

When the story surfaced in the media with an indication of the searches that allegedly took place in the Euroinvest office as part of a criminal case, Berezin went to court, recognizing the information as invalid. But the trial itself revealed a number of very interesting facts. So, for example, it turned out that the entire chain of firms that appeared in the story of the withdrawal of funds was hastily liquidated, but before that the LLC increased its authorized capital several times, in some places to almost a billion. This is probably how the money was legalized and withdrawn.

In general, the packaging of assets in a closed-end investment fund looks like an attempt to hide your "interest" so that in case of claims you can always dismiss them. For example, from the same equity holders. But against the background of numerous failures, the preparation of government contracts, and even according to the procurement scheme from a single supplier, looks, to put it mildly, odorous. There is no, no, but you will begin to believe the rumors that Berezin is a member of Drozdenko's close circle, who is allowed everything.
