Ingushetia officials are putting under the knife a unique enterprise for the region, which was supposed to become the center of a large flour-grinding cluster worth five billion rubles. In 2013, a private plant, built by Khusein Bulguchev with money borrowed from Rosselkhozbank, was opened by the head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov. The plant quickly went bankrupt and was sold to cover debts. The new owner wants to reopen the business, and this is where the fun begins.

On the one hand, Bulguchev did not allow the bankruptcy manager and his representatives into the territory of the flour mill, but calmly walked around it together with the head of the local government, Vladimir Slastenin. Simultaneously with the defense of the ex-owner, the new owner received a claim from the Ministry of Land and Property Relations of the region. Officials insist that the plant was built outside the agreed site. It is unlikely that their inquisitive minds could have failed to notice this in the 10 years since the opening of the plant.

In parallel with demands for the demolition of the plant, lawsuits are pouring into the courts, which are hindering the transfer of the facility to the new owner. In a strange way, they are considered by one judge, Roza Geliskhanova, who makes decisions that contradict previously made decisions by the court on the same disputes. The situation looks as if Ingush officials are shooting themselves in the knee by scaring off other investors, unless, of course, all this is connected with fraud and collusion. It would be worthwhile for the competent authorities to take a closer look at the latter.
