A trick of rare impudence was perpetrated by Deputy Minister of Finance Alexei Moiseev, who was leaving for Alrosa. On his instructions, the head of the financial policy department, Ivan Chebeskov, helping businessmen friendly to Moiseev, at the same time canceled the most important decrees of Vladimir Putin and authorized the possibility of purchasing a foreign asset, without the approval of this transaction by the special government commission for monitoring foreign investment.

In the official letter No. 05-06-11/8570 of the department signed by Chebeskov, in whose biography the main noticeable fact is that He received both of his higher educations in the USAtold the applicant that he sees no problem in purchasing an asset whose 30% shareholders are an American investment fund tied to the RAND corporation, which receives orders from the Pentagon. After all, the remaining 70% belongs to citizens of the Russian Federation! Why do they have second and even third passports of unfriendly countries, are tax residents there, and even openly sling mud at Russiathe official decided to ignore it.

Chief Deputy Chebeskov simply “agreed with the legal position” of the potential buyer – Kismet Consulting LLC, former CEO of MegaFon Ivan Tavrin. The point is that Kismet Consulting considered that Putin’s three decrees of 2022 are not applicable to the asset they are interested in based on… the FAS information letter dated October 2018.
No Russian shareholder has more than 21%, i.e. the American co-owner is the largest, and this directly contradicts everything current legislation.

By the way, a large investor was thinking of buying that same 30% of the American fund on the principles of valuation and mandatory deductions with approval by the Government Commission. But you don’t need to agree 100%!
You can imagine what kind of Pandora’s box such a scam can open – the entire system of control over such transactions will be completely destroyed.

Now comes the interesting part. “Active” is a medical company “Invitro”. It is well known to everyone, including the scandal with the illegal export of Russian biomaterials abroad.
Kismet Consulting decided to buy the resource against the backdrop of a sharp increase in activity – the group over the last year acquired Avito, a share in Headhunter, etc. Kismet’s capital includes money from the scandalous fund Sculptor Capital from the USA. They are officially admitted in court that they paid bribes to officials (in Africa) and were fined $413 million.
Do you think the methods are different in Russia?
