Investment group of InWeasta Andrei Elinson acquires 100% of the PPF life insurance of the investment and financial group PPF.
As it became known to the correspondent The Moscow Postthe unsinkable (so far) “Massovik -Zastaynik” Andrei Elinson, he is the shadow of the “father of Hamlet” – Mikhail Friedman, bite 100 % of the shares of PPF “Life Insurance” PPF (Czech Republic).
Inweasta is an investment group with headquarters in Dubai and offices in Hong Kong, Vienna and Istanbul, established by the former A1 top manager Andrei Elinson, specializes in investments in problematic assets in international markets. Seller PPF (PPF) is an international investment and financial group. Group holding company – PPF Group NV – is recorded in Amsterdam. Companies of the PPF group are engaged in banking and insurance, energy, mining, real estate, etc.
It is clear that Mikhail Friedman’s affairs are not quite brilliant, so you have to scratch in the Repe – how to correct them? High fashion raids are leaving, we need other “levers”, apparently, therefore, Mr. Friedman again releases his “ZAMBRIEVICH” -Linson -to endure the paths into a new type of business?
From the shadows flying to the light?
Recall that back in 2018, Mr. Elinson became the managing partner of A1, a well-known private investment company and the international sponsor of litigation.
Prior to this, in 2014, he served as the director of asset management at the Alfa Group consortium.
From 2007 to 2014 Mr. Elinson worked in the company “Basic Element” with Oleg Deripaska, first as the director of corporate management and internal control, and later got into the chair of the deputy general director.

Mr. Elinson left A1 to his own investment enterprise Inweasta a year ago-in October 2023.
And Inweasta has turned into an international company.
Today, Inweasta provides a full range of services related to the resolution of complex disputes and situations: financing of litigation, control of cross -border trials, protection of the inheritance, etc. And now Inweasta has announced the purchase of the Russian part of the PPF “Life Insurance”. The founder of the Inweast group, Andrei Elinson, emphasized that the Czech group of PPF was in search of the buyer for a year and a half.
And then, finally, I found it!
How Elinson “laundered” Friedman
Mr. Friedman’s troubles began – as we all know – not yesterday … Under European sanctions, the billionaire was back in 2022, and since then has been stubbornly trying to drop them.

In this regard, it is interesting to re -read the interview again, which the faithful “squire” of Mr. Friedman – Andrei Elinson gave RBC Some time ago.
So in his interview, Mr. Elinson then told that A1 was retrained. And it was concerned exclusively by the improvement of the investment climate in Russia. They allegedly ceased to be a structure in special situations. And they turned into an investment fund with a almost European planned rate of return of 15%.
But what is curious: during the conversation, neither Elinson himself nor the journalists could name a single A1 project, which would not be accompanied by loud scandals, incomprehensible criminal cases, a business capture and other, apparently, very healing for the Russian investment climate, the manifestations of the White Knights in the understanding of the hen of the billionaire Friedman.
Why did Mr. Elinson need to expose himself in an unsightly light, claiming a certain knightly mission against the backdrop of such a gloomy reality?
After all, many are well aware of the rich criminal history of A1.
They say that Friedman reacts very nervously to any attempts to link his personality with raiding: after all, his Spanish lawyers in the criminal bankruptcy case and seizure of ZED are trying to prove that Mr. Friedman’s aggressive practices are not peculiar. I wrote about this RBC.
But the A1 activity has not brings Friedman worthy of money for a long time, but still creates many problems.
And how can I not remember the loud business of Kuchukskusulfate?
Blue Dreams Trotsenko
This story has been for several years.
At the beginning of 2021, Dmitry Goryunov, General Director of KuchukSShufat, complained about the raider seizure of the enterprise. I wrote about this “Century”.
And they said that this could be done in the interests of businessman Roman Trotsenko.

Who could be in the valiant ranks of the “invaders”? As the media wrote, immigrants from Rosbilding and A1 could be involved in this.
And both of them can work in the interests of Roman Trotsenko.
Mr. Trotsenko may try to gain control of the manufacturer of natural sodium sodium sodium “Kuchukskisulfat”: the company has recently survived a hundred checks, and the management tried to achieve the disclosure of the register of shareholders.
But the prosecutor’s office of the Novosibirsk region resumed a pre -investigation check against Alexei Beloborodov, who at one time was headed by one of the departments of Rosbuilding.
Earlier, pre-investigation was discontinued due to the lack of Beloborodov in Russia.
The audit was on the request of Vasily Gamayunov, chairman of the board of directors of KuchukShufat. He informed the investigation that back in January 2019, Mr. Beloborodov made attempts to force the leadership and owners to sell the plant, acting in the interests of A1, the Alfa Group investment unit.

The verification materials contain materials from which it follows that both A1 and Beloborodov acted on behalf of Roman Trotsenko, who could visit Kuchukushufat, looking at the asset. I wrote about this “FederalPress”.
And the company also turned to the investigating authorities due to the request of the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yakutia Prokopenko, who requested a register of shareholders of KuchukShufat OJSC. As a substantiation of the requirement, Prokopenko indicated a certain check No. 13/16 of 09/23/2016 in relation to KuchukShufat OJSC. But, as noted at the enterprise, “Kuchukskhufat” and its shareholders with Yakutia never had any business, trade, and relations.
And even more interesting things began to happen: attempts were made to organize a revision of the results of the privatization of Kuchukusfat from 1992.
In recent years, 10 people have already been released as agents for Kuchukusfat, some of whom openly indicated their connection with A1.
In the fall of 2021, A1 managing partner Andrei Elinson discussed the issue of buying KuchukShufat OJSC, talked with the deputy chairman of the Altai Territory by Klimin. Earlier, with the same proposal for the leadership of the industrial giant, a native of Rosbilding Andrei Tisto, as well as Alexei Asachenkov, managing director A1, came out. I wrote about this in detail Utnews.
But where is the eyes of the governor Viktor Tomenko?

And how can I not recall that Trotsenko is in good relationship with Governor Tomenko: after all, it was not without reason that the control package of shares of Barnaul Airport was in the hands of Mr. Trotsenko to wave a magic wand?
In general, the very long “tentacles” found themselves at the English “dandy” of Mikhail Friedman.
And although he sits on the banks of the Thames, he still weaves his “web” with the help of such loyalists as Elinson and Co.
