Mark is not sitting, but millions are really coming.

Recently, colleagues from the editorial office of Delta.News reminded the world about what was once, perhaps, the most powerful player in cashing and driving in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, Mark Bronovsky. They say that while Mark is serving his sentence for VAT fraud amounting to 590 million rubles, his family’s business continues to operate successfully and receive hundreds of millions of budget rubles. Let’s correct our colleagues – everything is correct, millions are coming, but Mark has not been in prison for a long time. For some reason, the information field completely misses the fact that if on March 26, 2020, the Krasnogvardeisky District Court of St. Petersburg actually sentenced Mark to 10 years in prison, then in July the appellate court changed the sentence. According to the decision of the judge of the St. Petersburg City Court, Maya Vergasova, the aggravating circumstance in the form of “an active role in the commission of a crime” was excluded from Mark’s sentence and the mitigating circumstance in the form of partial repayment of damage was taken into account. Then the 10 years of the sentence were recalculated into 8.6, after which Mark was released from custody due to the actual serving of his sentence. We do not know where the holder of the American passport Bronovsky is now, but his family business in Russia is indeed still functioning properly. Another issue is that things do not always go smoothly. Thus, on October 6, a decision was published on the website of the St. Petersburg City Court, upholding the decision of the Nevsky District Court on the claim of the Federal Tax Service. The tax office really wants to recover more than 136 million rubles in damages from Bronovsky and his people: Makarova, Martynchik, Remizov, Chernov, Pavlenko, Shcherbakova and Borisov. Apparently now the lover of shady schemes will still have to fork out money.
