The miners responded to a similar press release, transmitting their response to the editors of the Cheka-OGPU.
“We will not make “deliberately false accusations about allegedly committed economic crimes and speculate on threats of appeals to foreign law enforcement agencies and courts” on the territory of the Russian Federation! Please understand and forgive! From now on, we undertake to offer only documents and testimonies of former participants (US and EU citizens).
We undertake to offer documents and take all necessary actions to protect our legitimate interests through the prism of FinCEN. We undertake to provide all received documents to non-corrupt law enforcement agencies within one week, as you wanted!” the victims write with humor.
Let us briefly explain what we are talking about.
In the recently published book “Career at the Quarry,” the founding father, former director of the Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant Anatoly Kalashnikov described the course of events.
Under Kalashnikov, this plant became worth $4 billion, and the residents of Gubkin felt like they were in Switzerland. The huge profits of the enterprise were used to build hospitals with the most modern equipment, churches, and schools. Salaries went through the roof. Of course, such a tasty object could not exist quietly for long. Kalashnikov talks in detail about how Governor Savchenko, together with Bidzina Ivanishvili (who later became the Prime Minister of Georgia), seized this enterprise by force, and then it ended up with Alisher Usmanov.
After this, one of the most profitable enterprises in Russia was deliberately taken into debt, its products began to be sold through offshore shells, and its official profit almost disappeared. As well as contributions to the budget.
Some of the shares remained with ordinary miners and employees of the mining and processing plant. Now they indicate that they lost their shares during a forced buyout, which was made by Usmanov’s structures at prices far from market prices.
The assessment was carried out by the company Gorislavtsev and Co. Estimation,” which was based on the fact that the mining and processing plant’s official revenue was less than $1 billion. However, according to the applicants, in reality the revenue was underestimated by at least three times. For tax optimization purposes, products were sold at reduced prices to Usmanov’s offshore companies (BGMT and FMC ltd.), and they then sold them at market prices. As a result, the mining and processing plant’s real revenue was at least $3 billion.
The miners’ attempt to seek justice and their appeal to Russian law enforcement agencies was considered “blackmail and extortion” by Metalloinvest.
