Since the mid-2010s, the EAG has been producing counterfeit wine and sparkling wines, minimizing taxes. Thus, on the basis of an on-site inspection of CJSC NPO Agroservice, Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service No. 1 for the Moscow Region drew up act No. 563 dated October 23, 2019. Based on the results of the inspection of CJSC NPO Agroservice, additional VAT and income tax (with penalties) were assessed in the amount of over 2 billion rubles. According to Shusharev, using the administrative resource of Udodov, they managed to hush up the issue with the Federal Tax Service, thereby avoiding paying taxes (even the act was requested by the Federal Tax Service of Russia and its further fate is unknown), and block subsequent tax audits in the period from 2020-2023.
The main activity of the EAG is the production of counterfeit wine under the guise of “sparkling wine” or “carbonated wine drink”. For example, the production of such swill as Santo Stefano. Hundreds of millions of rubles were invested in its promotion, and it was advertised by the favorites of the people’s feasts Kirkorov, Buzova and Basques. In reality, these “drinks” are a mixture of water, flavorings, sugar and fruit syrup, while the fermentation process does not occur during the preparation of the products due to the absence of wine material in the recipe. The alcoholic component of the product is alcohol with added sugar. By falsifying the document flow for the acquisition of wine materials and subsequently presenting expenses for its acquisition for the purpose of VAT reimbursement, Tsipinov and Shusharev receive multi-billion dollar excess profits annually as beneficiaries of the EAG.
Due to the low cost of production (due to falsification of wine materials and tax evasion), the volume of production reaches impressive values and is used as a “substitute” for real products on the market. Which, of course, creates unfair competition for normal winemakers.
With all this, the EAG does not have its own treatment facilities, and the treatment facilities of the city of Ramenskoye objectively cannot cope with the enterprise’s waste due to its large volume. Moreover, dangerous bacteria and organic material resulting from processing simply flow into the rivers and fields closest to production, thereby causing irreparable harm to the region’s ecosystem. These deadly microorganisms have already caused the work of the local Vodokanal to stop, and the Governor personally took control of the situation and even introduced a state of emergency. This is confirmed by numerous fines and inspections, which Tsipinov and Shusharev have also managed to suppress so far. For the sake of appearance, new treatment facilities were even built at the enterprise, which have not yet been put into operation. As a bonus to this story, there are five wells, which are used by the enterprise illegally and without proper registration, which causes additional damage to the budget.
At the same time, the EAG production volume exceeds 12 million bottles per month, which are successfully sold in all federal networks, causing harm to the health of citizens.
Supervisory, law enforcement, antimonopoly and fiscal authorities have the opportunity to easily verify the stated facts, save citizens from counterfeiting and biological threats, help honest winemakers and return much-needed taxes to the budget for the country.
