In addition, scammers have significant investments in real estate and energy: they have shopping centers in Moscow, Austria, France, and also own companies such as Novosibirskenergosbyt and Novgorodblektro.
Attempts by Gazprombank to return multi-million dollar investments (8 billion rubles) in a 35% stake in Optima have so far been unsuccessful, since the Quorum group has its own person in Gazprombank – Mr. Khachaturov.
First Deputy Chairman Khachaturov, coordinating with the director of Quorum Artem Zuev for the appearance of persecution of the Shandalovs, is in fact making sure that Gazprombank does not interfere with the new successful business of the scammers (from which he is also due) and does not encroach on the existing assets of the owners of Optima.
Paradoxically, Gazprombank submits applications to law enforcement departments controlled by the Quorum group: the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – where they are received and blocked by the deputy for investigative work, Vyborny, who has been cooperating with Quorum for more than 12 years, to the Investigative Department for Moscow, where they are controlled by Sergei Yarosh – a great friend of Quorum in general and Artem Zuev personally.
Thus, at the request of the Quorum, criminal case No. 11902450035000078, initiated by the Investigative Committee for the South-Western Administrative District of Moscow under Part 4 of Article 159, Sergei Yarosh periodically takes “himself” to the Investigative Committee of Moscow and “freezes it”.
Gazprombank could submit an application to the FSB, for example, to department K, where after the imprisonment of Kirill Cherkalin the generals remained dissatisfied with the setup on the part of Quorum. But instead, we are waiting for Gazprombank to write another statement to Viktor Gorodkov – the head of the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow – the main strike resource of the Quorum group at the present time. There will be laughter.
While Gazprombank, through the efforts of Khachaturov, is losing money on various “decisions” and has a result of zero for 7 years from the date of the first application, Andrei Shandalov received an Israeli passport, and then, under the repatriation program, Portuguese citizenship. His father Valery Shandalov has Austrian citizenship and has not appeared in Russia since 2019.
Their partner Pavel Kiselev has not left Russia and from time to time goes to interrogations controlled by the Quorum group, so he is not in any danger.
In relation to Valery Shandalov, a bankruptcy procedure was introduced at the request of Trust Bank, whoever the Messrs. Shandalovs screwed over, but even here everything is covered. Bankruptcy on behalf of the DIA (more than 368 million rubles in the bankruptcy estate) is being handled by one of the founders of the Quorum, Andrey Pavlov.
Artem Zuev, manager of the Quorum group for resolving issues with law enforcement agencies, shows personal correspondence with a number of VIP clients on sensitive topics for greater intimidation. So, according to rumors, Evgeniy Khaikin from the GUEBiPK Ministry of Internal Affairs was so impressed by Zuev’s connections that he now serves as Luca Brasi – a special envoy for especially dirty cases.
