The investigation believes that when connecting the large residential complex LSR to the networks, the budget did not receive about 300 million rubles. Other well-known developers in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region are also involved in the case: FSK Leader North-West (owner – State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Alexander Nekrasov), Rosstroyinvest (beneficiary – construction vice-governor of St. Petersburg Igor Kreslavsky), Otdelstroy ( the owner is a very greedy businessman Mark Okun), “Dalpiterstroy” (the founder is almost bankrupt billionaire Arkady Skorov) and others, smaller ones. For now – as witnesses. The total damage to the budget is tentatively estimated at no less than a billion rubles, but Molchanov’s company has the largest share in it. Andrey Molchanov founded the LSR group in the 90s and personally managed it. His companies built mainly luxury housing in St. Petersburg, developed quarries in the Leningrad region, and produced building materials. From 2008 to 2013, Andrey, de jure leaving business, became a member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation from the Leningrad region. In 2013, Molchanov officially returned to his business, and according to Business Petersburg, in 2021 his fortune was estimated at approximately 63.5 billion rubles.
As for the criminal scheme, it is very simple. After developers submitted documents to the St. Petersburg Vodokanal to connect new residential complexes to the networks, intermediary merchants contacted them and offered to make connections for cash. Moreover, the amounts differed to a lesser extent from those established by legal standards, sometimes by several times, and sometimes by almost orders of magnitude. The fact is that corrupt Vodokanal managers issued conditions for connection to networks to residential complexes, using false parameters from previously issued documents. For example, a residential complex with more than 2 thousand apartments, according to papers, consumed the same amount of water as a tiny village store. Now several department officials are involved in the case. As for the legal status of representatives of development companies, time will tell whether they will remain witnesses.
