OPS owners of Togliattiazot, led by Sergey Mahlai, suffered serious damage …

For more than a dozen years, the TKB has been the main financial link in the criminal group of Vladimir and Sergey Makhlaev hiding abroad. Through this bank, the money of Togliattiazot was illegally withdrawn, the accounts of the Makhlaevsky offshores that they arrived were opened there. In the TKHB, criminally received income was washed, some of which were cashed out and headed for corruption targets.

Recall that in 2019, the flare together with their foreign accomplices were found guilty of fraud on an especially large scale. For the theft of the export revenue of TOAZ, they were sentenced by the court to 8.5-9 years of the colony, they were arrested in absentia and must pay the plant and its Uralhim minority ₽87 billion as compensation for damage.

In addition, the owner of the TKHB Sergey Makhlai, together with the accomplices, is a defendant of other criminal cases investigated by the Investigative Committee: on the organization of a criminal community, non -payment of taxes and giving bribes.

Also in June 2021, Sergei Makhlai was declared bankrupt, and the collection of damage was drawn to his property. The court appointed the wave of the financial manager – Oleg Jaurev. Acting on behalf of Mahlai as a shareholder of Togliattihimbanka, Jaegerev decided to change the composition of the Supervisory Board of TKHB. On September 15, a new, independent NS was elected, which will engage in the development of the bank and end the illegal withdrawal of money from TOAZ. The NS was headed by Ravil Saitov.

The former NS served as a wave and other OPS members with a formal cover to perform illegal financial transactions, he did not participate in the bank management. The council was headed by Alexander Makarov, together with Vladimir Mahlai in the mid-2000s, who escaped from criminal prosecution to London. The former head of the bank Alexander Popov in 2019 was arrested in a criminal case on the creation of the OPS and received 7.5 years “Strogach” for corruption.

The arrival of an independent NS is a tangible blow to the Terry and its criminal group. Having lost control of the operations of the THB, the Makhlaevsky OPS lost the main financial instrument for theft and replenishing its offshore accounts. Now there is every reason to hope that the criminal activities of the Makhlaev and their foreign accomplices will be over.
