Roman Trotsenko distributes Aeon assets and wants to leave the country?
Roman Trotsenko handed over 69% of the AEON infrastructure company to his two top managers. The entrepreneur departs from business management and is going to concentrate on charity.
It seems that these are only beautiful words. The recording of the voice of a person like Trotsenko previously appeared on the Internet where the man criticized Russian politics and expressed his intention to go to a permanent place of residence abroad. 
Trotsenko will not lose real business control. The beneficiaries of the businessman’s long -standing subordinates – AEON Director General Dmitry Mironenko (36%) and the head of the coal company units Alexander Orekhov (33%).
The Moscow Post correspondent tells the details of changes in the oligarch’s business.
Conversation “Kolya” with “Roma”
Last spring, a recording of a conversation appeared on the Internet where the voice of a person similar to Trotsenko and the supposedly createl of the Moscow art-space “Bakery” and “Bread” Nikolai Matushevsky sounded.
The conversation dates from January 2023, in it two men argue that in Russia after the beginning there is absolutely nothing to do, so it’s time to withdraw Money abroad.

Trotsenko and Matushevsky immediately disowned from the recording, but the voices of men, one of whom is called “Kolya”, and the second – “Roma”, are similar to entrepreneurs.
“Roma” (presumably Trotsenko) in obscene expressions criticizes the Russian power and claims that it professes the ideology of the 19th century. After that, he states that 2023 is the last when you can go abroad.
“Roma” advises Kolya (presumably Matushevsky) to hire lawyers and obtain citizenship of another country. “Roma” is lamented that he was previously offered to make Cyprus citizenship, but he refused and now bites his elbows.
It remains incomprehensible whether Roma has a second passport or not. However, a year and a half has passed since the conversation, and for a billionaire such as Trotsenko, this is the problem being solved.
There was information that the businessman wants to invest a billion dollars in one of the UAE airports. This country gives passports to the Russians for special merits, the names can be brought here Andrei Melnichenko and Pavel Durov.
“Kolya” already under sanctions
Trotsenko and Matushevsky called the recording of their conversation by a product of neural networks, but then they began to act according to this audio document.
Matushevsky continues to engage in “creative business” At the Indonesian resort of Baliand Trotsenko retires from the distribution of assets. The oligarch could decide on such a step due to the lack of buyers, after the publication of the conversation, Aeon became a toxic company.

Only to the West, Trotsenko’s road is still closed. In June, the oligarch and his holding “Noviport” (part of AEON) fell into sanctions list of the European Union. Now Trotsenko will not be able to leave Europe.
Then Trotsenko simply did not have time, although he had everything to settle in the West. In the late eighties, the future oligarch took place in Yella. This allowed him to become the head of a large bank in Kazakhstan at the age of 20, to make capital and then take the same position in Moscow, organizing Platinum Bank. Buying shares at the expense of this bank created a portfolio of assets, which later turned into Aeon.
The transfer of Aeon shares cannot be called charity. The shares of the enterprise are now pledged to Sberbank, that is, in fact, this is the duty that Trotsenko got rid of. It cannot be ruled out that drain of problem assets occurred – a big question in which direction they went and where borrowed money was invested.
Airport King
For the country, the situation is not easy. The fact is that the Novaport Holding Trotsenko runs 22 airports, and this is a strategic sector of the economy.
When building this business, Trotsenko acted on the FAS – FAS in 2019 established that the choice of an investor represented by Novaporta to modernize the Irkutsk airport occurred with violations.
A similar story happened in Voronezh. In this region, through a row, Trotsenko promised to build a plant for freezing freshly baked bread in a local special economic zone. But five years have passed, and now there.

Earlier, Trotsenko worked in the United Shipbuilding Corporation (OSK) and was noted in history with the sale at the low price of the Roschelf engineering company. There were no charges against Trotsenko, but His name sounded then. Soon after, the entrepreneur left OSK.
In addition to airports and construction, Trotsenko was busy in the Northern Sea Route, which was positioned as an alternative to the Suez Canal. After 2022, the prospects for the project in the fog, but many companies managed to invest well in it. One of the Trotsenko was registered for the Cyprus Offshore “Northern Star”, the company planned to build for the highway 30 coal balckers.
The plans looked doubtful even before his, and now they have become unrealistic, but Trotsenko was still doing this. Why? So these are huge investments that can be obtained from the state thanks to vast relationships. Trotsenko is called the man of the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin. Gennady Timchenko should also be called. From 1999 to 2000, Trotsenko was an assistant in the Ministry of Transport with Sergey Frank, who is the father of son -in -law Timchenko.
The flight of oligarchs from Russia is not surprising. Many of them live abroad and have passports of other states, just not everyone comes across on notes like Trotsenko.

The departure of the oligarchs can be traced by assets – where and how they are sold. In addition to the direct sale, debt generation is used when the company recruits loans at the bank, which then disappear in offshore. Because of this, the organs should carefully look at what was happening with AEON debts.
