In the Lipetsk region, under the cover of a large -scale reconstruction of energy facilities, a complex scheme was launched to withdraw hundreds of millions of rubles from the state budget. As the Cheka-OGPU found out and Rucriminal.infothe center of events became OJSC Tambovvodtrans – a company that has been cooperating with PJSC “FSK UES” for many years (a subsidiary of Rossetei). From 2019 to 2021, contracts for a total of over 1.3 billion rubles were concluded between them, including the restoration of equipment of the 220 KV Right Bank and the reconstruction of the Lipetsk-Metallurgical high-voltage line. However, a carefully thought -out scam was hidden behind these agreements.

At the head of the scheme stood former leaders and shareholders of Tambovvodtrans OJSC: General Director V. Chulkov, financial director T. Chulkova, Deputy General Director V.S. Tsybizov, who since 2019 began to conclude fictitious subcontracts with one-day companies. Among them stood out LLC Prrab and Bildstim LLC – organizations without personnel, equipment and even offices. Their only task was to receive funds from Tambovvodtrans under the guise of work. Real contractors, such as Siemens Energy LLC and Energoinnovation LLC, were involved only in highly specialized tasks.

It all started with the conclusion of state contracts with PJSC FSK UES. For example, the contract of 17.03.2021 for 98.2 million rubles provided for the restoration of equipment at the third stage of work. In fact, these tasks have already been carried out by the Tambovvodtrans forces, but V. Chulkov In parallel, he signed a subcontract from LLC Prrab for 89.4 million rubles. On May 25, 2021, the funds were transferred, although the Prostrab had neither specialists nor resources. A similar situation was repeated in July 2021 with Bildstim LLC, which received 78.2 million rubles for a duplicate stage of work.

The money quickly went along the chain: Prostra transferred 46.1 million-LLC “Deltatel” and 28.2 million-Alfa-Media LLC. These companies, registered under the guise of advertising agencies and dealers of building materials, became the last link before cashing. Part of the funds even went abroad – for example, to Dimensus Alliance LP (Britain) through the recognition of a fictitious debt for 144.4 million rubles.

Subcontractors, like “foremen” and “Bildstim”, had neither employees nor technical resources.

Acts of acceptance of work did not contain details, there was no list of work and calculation.
Applications to contracts were duplicated by real contracts with PJSC FSK UES, creating the appearance of legality.
The total damage from the scheme exceeded 400 million rubles. Most of the funds did not return to the budget, settling in offshores or pockets of the organizers.
