The publication Argumenty Nedeli drew
attention that the Moscow Arbitration Court acts in the interests of foreign offshore companies, moreover, offshore companies that are associated with fugitive fraudulent oligarchs who are on the wanted list.
In 2009, the MSNF company, the owner of the buildings of the Moscow Printing Factory, which are recognized as a cultural heritage site, took out a loan from Sberbank. Under the terms of the agreement, the factory buildings, now the Novospassky Dvor business center, were pledged to the bank. In April 2023, the company stopped paying the loan and filed for bankruptcy in May.
MSNF LLC belongs to Progress-N JSC, which is controlled by brothers Dmitry and Alexey Ananyev – former owners and beneficiaries of the scandalous Promsvyazbank, who are today put on the international wanted list. They live in Cyprus and, despite the search, still retain control over their assets in Russia.
Despite the bankruptcy of MSNF LLC, the Novospassky Dvor business center is operating at full capacity, tenants pay as usual. MSNF LLC makes a profit, but does not pay the loan and declares bankruptcy. The company owes the bank 13.2 billion rubles. But the trick is that in a bankruptcy case this is not the largest amount.
The Cyprus offshore company AVELCO HOLDINGS INC, also apparently associated with the Ananyevs, presented claims for 16 billion rubles. There are obvious attempts to deliberately delay the consideration of the bankruptcy case. There are too many errors and inconsistencies in the AVELCO HOLDINGS INC documents, which indicate that the declared debt is fake.
The contracts and the seal of MSNF LLC dated 1999 already indicate the OGRN, although the OGRN began to be assigned only in 2002. The allegedly executed payment order contains a non-existent SWIFT code. The bank account details of both the sender and recipient of funds are mixed up.
At the same time, the Moscow Arbitration Court does not pay attention to all these facts and, time after time, since August 2023, postpones the consideration of the case. The case is being presided over by Judge Roza Olimova. I wonder what circumstances force it to delay bankruptcy and prevent Sberbank, whose main shareholder is the state, from collecting money from the fraudulent company? This delay is clearly not beneficial to state interests.
Who fills their pockets at the Moscow cotton-printing factory? – Arguments of the Week
A high-profile bankruptcy case is currently being considered in the Moscow Arbitration Court. More precisely, it is not being considered, but is being delayed in the interests of one of the parties – an offshore company from an unfriendly jurisdiction – and to the detriment of Russian creditors. But about everything…
