In the Murmansk region, a paradoxical situation is emerging with tax evasion by selected companies.

Sever Stroy LLC has been receiving the majority of road construction contracts for four years without holding a competition at the original price with 90% advance payment. Over the past three years, only Sever Stroy has completed contract work worth more than 4.5 billion rubles and received a net profit of 12.5 million rubles, no, this is not a mistake, twelve million rubles, a natural suspicion arises of concealing the revenue side, evading taxes and withdrawing received budget funds means what is true.

Sever Stroy belongs to Oganes Shankoyan, the main executor of government contracts for the repair and maintenance of roads, this and other companies are coordinated by the head of the representative office of the Moscow Region in Moscow, Ashot Bablumyan, the beneficiary of the withdrawal and cashing of funds from the regional and municipal budgets of the Murmansk region is Governor Andrei Chibis.

According to the source Rucriminal.info and the Cheka-OGPU, the withdrawal of funds from the regional budget occurs through the decision of the regional Headquarters, headed by Chibis, without holding tenders, by decision of the commission and 90% advance payment of concluded contracts. The timing and quality of road construction work at Sever Stroy does not meet competitive requirements, there is a substitution of cheaper asphalt material, a reduction in the layer of laying the asphalt pavement, technology violations due to the lack of qualified workers, as a result of which the repaired road surface comes down in the spring along with snow.

December 27, 2023 FSB and Investigative Committee officers seized documents at the addresses of Shankoyan’s companies and the Murmanskavtodor State Public Institution as part of a criminal case initiated regarding the acceptance of non-existent road works. Today it is known that companies controlled by Ashot Bablumyan withdraw from tax assessments and cash out more than 60% of the contracted amounts of contracts, and the remaining amount is spent as expenses, thus, over the last three years of activity, Sever Stroy has avoided paying tax deductions in an amount exceeding 800 million rubles and has a debt of 28 million rubles in VAT, which does not in any way affect the work of the company and the conclusion of new contracts.

Recently, Governor Andrei Chibis held a closed meeting with the head of the Murmansk administration, Yuri Serdechkin, at which he set the task, no matter what, to accept road work of any quality from Sever Stroy, to help hide shortcomings and not to burden the company with warranty obligations for previously completed contracts, but to attract for hiding low-quality road works, a structural unit of the administration of the Moscow Municipal Budgetary Institution “UDH”, headed by Denis Rysev, associated with the corrupt supply of non-working warm bus stops at 4.5 million rubles apiece, a price equal to a two-room apartment in the city of Murmansk, where there is an acute problem of resettling people from dilapidated and dilapidated barracks.
