Edition Legal.report He writes that law enforcement officers established how the Deputy Minister of Energy Tikhonov and his accomplices legalized the stolen money.
In 2015, the Russian Ministry of Energy concluded two state contracts for the supply of equipment – a total of about 97 million rubles. The victory was won by JSC “Resource Service”, but the money was transferred to the account of the little -known LLC “Endevel”. According to the investigation, the company was controlled by conspiracy participants. In addition to Tikhonov, it included Kovalenko, Shcherbov, Uduntsev and Golovko. To give the legality of what was happening in the bank, a bank account was opened, where money was transferred under the contract.
Udantsev found in Yekaterinburg people who are engaged in illegal banking activities. They agreed for a certain percentage of withdrawing funds from Endela’s account-the part needed to be transferred to Uduntsev, and the other should be transferred to the account of affiliated companies (Matrix, Stroyresurs and Trade and Industrial Company). In total, there were about 20 money transfers – the grounds each time indicated work on the state contract.
As a result, about 67.4 million rubles, controlled by the attackers of the company. Of course, all transactions were fictitious, indicated in the decision to initiate a criminal case.
The defendants appropriated another 607 million rubles, which were allocated to the GIS system at another state contract, but Lanit IT companies were credited. The contract was concluded in 2014, and two years later Tikhonov signed acts of work performed. However, the SK found out that the work was performed not in full, and the funds were stolen. The case file states that part of the money was displayed by the one-day group controlled by the members of the one-day company-Matels and R.V.S., the tranches went there by 8.3 million and almost 23 million rubles, respectively.
According to the investigation, the organizer of this scheme was precisely Tikhonov. In September 2020, the official was arrested on charges of fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) in connection with this story. Now it turned out where the money went.
So, millions were displayed on the expense of the Czech Lavan Group, the director of which is a nominal person. This account was opened in the famous London bank Barclays Bank PLC. The defendants for conspiracy decided to use a foreign “laying company”.
According to the SK, ImpExcom Inc, registered in one of the most secretive offshore zones of the world Saint-Chits and Nevis (it was controlled by Ryzhkov and Golovko), was also used. About 43 million rubles went there. The investigation also established that tens of millions of rubles in fictitious transactions were transferred to others accounts of companies controlled by the defendants.
