At the first stage, documents on the powers of the previous director Tarasov A.E. were falsified, after which he embezzled OJSC Melor and OJSC Promtseolite, transferring them for 1.8 million rubles to fake individuals acquaintances of Aram Gabrelyanov – Valery Bagdasarov and his daughter Sabine Danielyan.
These individuals immediately transferred the shares of Melor OJSC and Promtseolite OJSC, but for $2 million, to the Cyprus company TIG, the beneficiary of which, as the court established, is Gabrelyanov A.A. Gabrelyanov’s attempt to resell the seized enterprises at their real market value, for $35 million, was stopped by the court, which prohibited the resale of shares.
After the seizure of Melor OJSC and Promtseolite OJSC and the appointment of new management, the TIG company removed equipment, transport from them and re-registered all assets as Tseotreidresurs LLC, 76% of whose shares belong to Aram Gabrelyanov.
LLC “Tseotreidresurs” was appointed as the monopoly buyer of all products produced by OJSC “Promtseolite”, and at a price below cost. And then Tseotreyresurs LLC resold the resulting products at two to three times the price. As a result, Promtseolite OJSC received hundreds of millions of rubles in losses, and Tseotreyresurs LLC received huge profits, which Aram Gabrelyanov accrued to himself as dividends.
Further, Zeotreyresurs LLC entered into an agency agreement with Promzeolite OJSC, according to which marketing services were allegedly provided to Promzeolite OJSC to find new buyers for its products. For the provision of these “services”, OJSC “Promtseolite” was forced to pay 25% of the total gross revenue of OJSC “Promtseolite” to LLC “Tseotreydresurs”, which further increased the latter’s losses.
Subsequently, Melor OJSC and Promtseolite OJSC, on the basis of a court decision that entered into force, were returned to their rightful owner – Zeomax LLC. The revealed criminal acts of TIG became the basis for new court cases to recover damages from Gabrelyanov.
However, Aram Gabrelyanov, through his Tseotreidresurs LLC, filed a lawsuit to recover 90 million rubles from Promtseolite OJSC for allegedly unpaid marketing services. During the investigation, forensic examination revealed that the signatures on the documents on the services provided were forged. Thus, representatives of Tseotreyresurs LLC, using forged documents, attempted to steal funds on an especially large scale, that is, they committed a criminal offense.
However, no criminal case was initiated. The following information contained in the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court in case No. A40-132272/2021 is indicative: “It should be noted that Bagdasarov V.R., Tarasov A.E. and the TIG company do not recognize any judicial acts that have entered into legal force, do not consider the circumstances established by the courts to be proven, distort judicial conclusions, attempt to mislead the courts and investigative authorities, and continue their illegal activities.”
Tseotreyresurs LLC replaced the lawyers in court with the EPAM law office, after which the position of the courts changed radically. Thus, despite the fact of forgery of documents on which the claims of Tseotreyresurs LLC were based, judge of the Moscow Arbitration Court Anushkina Yu.M. satisfied the claims in full.
As a result, this court decision opened up a new path for Tseotreidresurs LLC, represented by Aram Gabrelyanov, to seize Promtseolite OJSC through the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings. That is, the raiders judged correctly in their own way – since they failed to seize the enterprise through direct theft, they can get to it through the drawn debts.
