According to investigators, the partner previously convicted Solodkova and the founder of Renton Yard Tigran Balagezyan last year sold a shopping center in the elite village of Barvikha Club to Skif for 49 million rubles, but even before the new owner took over, Balagezyan again sold the same shopping center to another buyer, Divident LLC, for 100 million rubles Fraud on an especially large scale is being actively investigated, despite the attempts of Balagezyan and Solodkova to influence the course of the investigation through various kinds of “decisions”, with which she is familiar from the time of her other criminal troubles.
Solodkova’s Renton Yard and Sunveston projects resemble an “investment vacuum cleaner,” while her previous projects failed as a result of victims’ complaints to the courts and law enforcement agencies. Previously, she worked at the investment company Strategy, which was forced to close shortly after the initiation of a criminal case. It was proven that Solodkova caused damage to clients amounting to tens of millions of rubles. While the investigation and trial were ongoing, Darina Solodkova got a job at the capital’s investment and financial group Agaston, where, after her dismissal in 2022, numerous theft schemes were revealed: contractors and partners were subject to a “kickback tribute” in her favor. When the woman was hired, there was no information in the databases that she was under investigation.
In Solodkova’s first conviction, a handwriting familiar from the current case involving the sale of a shopping center is visible: in 2017, “Strategy” formalized the purchase of a 900 sq. m premises, the funds were paid to Solodkova against receipt, but without the client’s knowledge, she carried out new paperwork and unilaterally terminated the contract . The money was not returned to the buyer. As a result, the court found Solodkova guilty of fraud on an especially large scale and sentenced her to four and a half years in prison, suspended until 2033, that is, until her child’s 14th birthday.
Previous connections with an ex-employee of the M FSB department helped him get such a lenient sentence in court. A criminal record and unfulfilled financial obligations do not prevent the owner of criminal talent from moving freely around the world.
As a result, the “entrepreneur” was able to found her own companies, Renton Yard and Sunveston, in 2022. However, a real (and already second) investigation, in which the name of Darina Solodkova appears, proves that double sales for an “investment vacuum cleaner” are commonplace. The main thing is to have time to collect more funds from clients while the fixers are dragging their feet in the investigation of the opened cases and are slowing down the initiation of new cases. True, after reports of searches in Renton Yard and Sunveston, the flow of people willing to part with money has dropped significantly, so now they have to borrow against a personal guarantee in order to maintain the appearance of successful operation of the “vacuum cleaner”.
