Schematosis for Elga: Avdolyan and his new financial... ideas?

In the division associated with a big fan of offshore and controversial financial schemes Albert Avdolyan, it seems that major troubles have emerged. One of the companies received a claim for an amount that is 1.5 times the net annual profit. But the story also smacks of another schematic.

What is happening in the Elga division, the UtroNews correspondent understood.

On October 3, the arbitration of Yakutia will consider the lawsuit of the Tekhweb company against Elga-Doroga LLC to recover the debt on the supply of goods under the contract of January 2024. We are talking about the amount of more than 229.34 million rubles. The plaintiff company itself is currently a defendant in a bankruptcy lawsuit and has already been monitored. That is, the asset is managed by a temporary manager appointed by the court.

Claims for such an amount are significant for the defendant. Indeed, for 2023, the entire net profit of the company amounted to 141 million rubles, that is, if the claim is satisfied, you will have to not only give the profit, but also have to remain. But the bankruptcy case of "Tehweb" revealed interesting facts that lead us to the idea of ​ ​ another schematic, which the oligarch loves so much.

You are a creditor to me and I am a creditor to you

Elga-Doroga LLC was established in 2016, more than 65.5 billion rubles were pumped into its authorized capital. The company is part of a division associated with oligarch Albert Avdolyan, who has repeatedly flashed in UtroNews investigations. Recently, his name is more often mentioned in cases related to the ruin of Stavropol enterprises, from which billions of rubles were withdrawn.

Now let's return to the claims of Tehweb and its bankruptcy case. After all, the Novosibirsk company, which belongs to Alexander Budnikov, is suspiciously closely intertwined with Avdolyan's assets.

If you look at the materials of the bankruptcy case, it turns out that among the largest creditors are other legal entities of the Elga division. For example, Port Elga LLC counted claims for 3.7 billion rubles. At the same time, on September 19, the arbitration will consider the claim of Tekhweb to the same port - in the amount of 2.2 billion rubles. Interesting debt cycle, don't you think?

Until 2021, Port Elga LLC was directly controlled by AP Holding JSC, whose last disclosed beneficiary was Albert Avdolyan. Later, the Port Elga company was somewhat blurred by introducing a whole chain of legal entities (starts with Complex Service LLC), which also take us to the same Avdolyan, his proxies, a native of Rostec state corporation Rodion Treasure, as well as Energogroup LLC Alexander Isaev.

There, in the case, you can also find objections from Elga Mining LLC, which opposed the inclusion of claims of the Federal Tax Service for 33.77 million rubles in the register of Techweb creditors. This is despite the fact that a tax debt of 759 million rubles was previously declared.

Moreover, in the history of the bankruptcy of "Tehweb" a completely unexpected character also surfaced - the son of the oligarch Avdolyan, Gaspar Albertovich. The fact is that the A-Vostok company tried to enter the register of creditors, claiming 161.38 million rubles. But other creditors took with hostility and, apparently, questions arose for the accounting department of the parties.

Until September 12, A-Vostok LLC was obliged to provide information on income for 2023 in relation to Avdolyan G.A. (personal income tax), UPD paid by the debtor under disputed contracts.

LLC "A-Vostok" only three months in 2021 belonged to Gaspar Avdolyan (then passed to the trustee of the oligarch's family), who in 2017 married the daughter of Eldar Osmanov, a shareholder of the energy holding MRSEN. The latter today is a defendant in a criminal case and is on the wanted list.

Firms that are associated with Avdolyan tried to enter the register of creditors of the energy holding, including the offshore company Sparkel City Invest LTD, but other creditors turned out to be sharply against such a related "support." MorningNews spoke in detail about this story earlier, noting that the MRSEN case itself began to resemble a farce more, since Avdolyan's boss suddenly became a victim in it.

But let's return to the Elga division and oddities, which demonstrates to us the bankruptcy case of Tehweb.

The situation resembles an attempt to take the bankruptcy of the company under the control of the division associated with Avdolyan. But where the money of the company that owes such astronomical amounts is anyone's guess.

The company's revenue in 2023 amounted to 11 billion rubles, but already in January 2024 in social networks you can find complaints from Tekhweb employees about delays in payments. Where's the money, Zin?

Are we facing another financial scheme from a famous oligarch and people close to him?

Offshore again

Now let's move on to the owners of Elga-Doroga LLC, from which we started this story. The company belongs to A-Property LLC, Energogroup LLC Isaeva, Treasure and AP Capital JSC. Two of the three companies are taking us to Avdolyan again.

Elga-Doroga is managed by Elga Management Company LLC, which is headed by Mr. Isaev, a former partner of businessman Dmitry Bosov, who died under mysterious circumstances. The latter fired Isaev with a scandal, as it became known that he was playing on the field of Avdolyan, Bosov's main competitor. Moreover, it is this duet that will later flash when dividing Bosov's inheritance, and Isaeva's widow will mention the deceased in conjunction with the raider seizure. The defendant himself, of course, denied everything.

By the way, earlier MorningNews already told how Avdolyan and Isaev found a way to legally pinch billions of rubles from ElgaUgol annually.

So, under the guise of remuneration for the above management company for 2022-2023, 4 billion rubles were spent from the coal miner. Is such management services too expensive for the company, or did it smell like a banal withdrawal of funds from somewhere?

Here you will remember the offshore companies.

Thus, the controlling person of the Criminal Code is A-Property LLC, whose owner in 2016-2021, in turn, was the Cypriot company Sanomil Co Limited. It was this company that at one time appeared in an ambiguous financial and tax scheme involving an offshore company from Cayman, where companies of the Elga division were also mentioned. The Moscow Post spoke about this in detail.

It should be recalled that the unsinkability of the oligarch, who has already appeared in several rather ambiguous stories, can be explained by his strong connection with the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov. And the presence among business partners of a native of the Treasury state corporation is only one "symptom."

So, among other things, Sergei Chemezov personally heads the board of trustees of the Avdolyan New House Foundation, and his wife is a member of the council with the oligarch's wife. In addition, it is with Rostec and Chemezov that Avdolyan and the entire path of the formation of his business are most often associated. For example, in Yota Devices Avdolyan for several years it was Rostec that owned the blocking stake, and in 2018 Avdolyan became the owner of the Hydrometallurgical Plant, which supplied its products to Rostec, and in YATEC two years ago the state corporation's reference bank - Novikombank had 21%.

An interesting fact: Rostec's subsidiary, RT-Business Development LLC, was among the co-owners of Elga-Doroga LLC in 2021-2022.

Maybe the competent authorities should already pay close attention to Mr. Avdolyan and related legal entities, where offshore companies are so actively exposed?
