Representatives of the Soltanov family, which our channel previously covered, were involved in another criminal story in the Krasnodar region.
The investigative department of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Tuapse region is investigating criminal case No. 123010300410001221, initiated on October 20, 2023 against unidentified persons on the grounds of a crime under Part 3 of Art. 30, part 1 art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, regarding the abuse of power contrary to the interests of the organization during the illegal sale of land plots owned by TMKP LLC.
According to the statement of crime on the basis of which this criminal case was initiated, Vovk A.A., being the general director of TMKP LLC, acting contrary to the legitimate interests of the Company and its participants, at the direction and in the interests of two beneficiaries in this crime, Novruzov Sh. BUT. and Soltanova R.S. (are respectively the founder and beneficiary of Tuapse Sea Commercial Port Enterprise LLC), in order to extract benefits and advantages for themselves and third parties, in September 2022, tried to transfer Sh.N.O. to structures controlled by Novruzov for a long-term lease on obviously unprofitable terms and conditions of the property of TMKP LLC.
The only participant of the Company, Vonixel Limited, who filed the application on which the criminal case was initiated, claimed that Sh.N. Navruzov gave consent to the transaction on his behalf. Subsequently, registration was suspended. The State Registrar of the Tuapse Department of the Rosreestr Office for the Krasnodar Territory refused registration, and the transaction did not take place.
The criminal case is being processed by the investigative group consisting of Chebanov K.A., Khalimova V.A. (which aroused him) and Tarasenko E. – investigators of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Tuapse.
Meanwhile, investigators are clearly in no hurry to investigate this case. The preliminary investigation has already lasted more than seven months. At the same time, in the opinion of the injured party, during the entire investigation of the case, the preliminary investigation body did not take sufficient and effective measures aimed at quickly and completely solving the crime and identifying all persons involved in its commission. The decision to recognize Vonixel Limited as a victim in the criminal case was not made, although the representative of the company asked the head of the investigation team – Deputy Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Tuapse District L.S. Budrik. do it.
In this regard, the applicant filed a complaint with the Tuapse district prosecutor’s office about the inaction of the investigators. And on April 17, 2024, I received a response that the complaint had been satisfied. The prosecutor’s resolution states that the applicant’s arguments were confirmed, and “in connection with the red tape in the case, on April 15, 2024, the interdistrict prosecutor’s office made a request to the head of the investigative agency to eliminate violations of federal legislation, which was considered and satisfied.”
However, despite the intervention of the prosecutor’s office, the preliminary investigation of the criminal case continues. According to observers, such a delay in the investigation, despite a fairly simple and clear legal picture, may indicate an illegal interest of the employees of the Special Investigation Department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Tuapse region on the part of those involved in the case. As noted in the previous post, the Soltanov family’s well-established connections with high-ranking officials and security forces are no secret in the region. In addition, not so long ago the head of the investigative team Budrik L.S. received a promotion, becoming the head of the Tuapse SO of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, clearly no one is stopping her from completing the investigation of this case.
According to the applicant, a possible reason for such delay is the risk of reclassification of the case under a more “severe” article – Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
