The history of the noble “budget masters” of the Russian Railways Alexei Taikher is approaching a logical end.
In Moscow, a former top manager of Russian Railways Alexei Tacher was detained. He is suspected of fraud in the sale of leasing companies. A few more people were detained with him. According to some reports, among them his long -standing associates Alexander Goland and Ivan Blacky. They were called among the buyers of the Transfin-M leasing company after the exit of Alexei Taicher from its capital.
It is obvious that with the detention of a saucer of the era of his scandalous business active, he is coming to an end.
Details – in the material of the correspondent The Moscow Post.
The fact that Alexei Taher is leaving the capital of Transfin -M, one of the country’s largest leasing companies, became known at the end of February 2024.
The buyer of 70% of the Tiece of the share of the investmentervice belonging to the Taurus under the control of the Aurum Investment Criminal Code, 30% – ZPIF Thaler under the direction of ATTIS Capital LLC. According to sources, they are associated with the top management of the group-Maxim Anishchenkov, and already mentioned by Alexander Goland and Ivan Blazitsky.
Until 2023, Taicher had shares in another large leasing company – SG -Trans. All 100% of the last shares belong to the Vector Rail JSC, 63% of which could belong to the Tieter and his companion Sergei Smyslov. Subsequently, businessmen Timur and Ruslan Babaev, as well as the management of the SG-Trans and closed funds, bought the share of entrepreneurs and closed funds.
It is possible that in this way the timer, as in the case of Transfin-M, could try to hide his alleged ownership of the asset.
Timur and Ruslan Babaevs can be close relatives of Salman Babaev, also a former vice president of Russian Railways.
There are rumors that it was from the submission of Babaeva that Taher received high posts in the Russian Railways – including the adviser to the head of the state monopoly. Taher entered the Babaev team at the time when he headed the “first cargo company.”
The role of Zotov
It is known that in “SG-Trans” the day before Searches. Details of the criminal case against the Taiir and his associates are still unknown. But it may be associated with another loud criminal case – the former transfin -m transfinter Dmitry Zotov.
In April 2024, Dmitry Zotov received a court verdict – his Recognized The guilty of the withdrawal from Transfin-M shortly before its sale is about 1.2 billion rubles through a series of transactions and a chain of companies affiliated with it. Earlier, in 2021, he already received a sentence for a similar crime – then it was a question of the embezzlement of 2.8 billion rubles. By the aggregate of Zota, he received 7 years of a general regime colony.
In the summer of 2024 in relation to Zotov excited Another criminal case is at the request of Transfin -M. The reason was the transaction with the sale of railway wagons through “laying companies”. Thanks to the alleged “schemes” of Zota could steal more than a billion rubles from the company.

However, Mr. Zotov could hardly have made such serious decisions about the company without regard to the owners. And the main beneficiary was Alexei Taher. And precisely after the news about the new criminal case of Zotov, when he began to shine a new long term, less than two weeks later they detained Alexei Taiir and his associates.
It is easy to assume that Alexei Tycher could participate in the alleged fraud, and Dmitry Zotov turned out to be only a “scapegoat.” Under the threat of a new term, his tongue could thoroughly unleash him. Could he testify to the Taiir and Co.?
“Scheme” for the redemption “transfin-m”
Alexei Tycher and his partners, including Anishchenkov, Goland and Bigitsky, bought out Transfin-M from the Russian Railways Pension Fund in 2019. Then the fund belonged to 70%, another 30% were behind management. A possible conflict of the interests of the Taichera, who was long in the Russian Railways for a long time, did not embarrass anyone – sensing tremendous income, Taher allegedly broke all the ties with the State Monopolia.
But this is a real gold resident, like the company “SG -Trans” (transportation of liquefied gas), which Tycher and partners at one time bought from the AFK “system” Vladimir Yevtushenkov. Now the sum of the Transfin-M State contracts exceeds 1.6 billion rubles, the SG-Trans-758 million rubles.
At the same time, as of 2021, the share of SG-Trans in the transportation of LSG on the network of Russian Railways was 64%. And no one was embarrassed that the taier had previously been working in the Russian Railways for a long time, was the director of JSC Federal Cargo Company as well as the deputy leader of the entire state monopoly?
In fact, these companies were literally pumped up by the budget money of Russian Railways, and then suddenly they were owned by the former top manager of AO. And no corruption?
However, the money earned in state contracts must still be withdrawn. This is where Dmitry Zotov could be useful, who, as the investigation and the court established, was related to a number of affiliated organizations through which funds could flow.
The most interesting thing is that the acquisition of Transfin -M, which was pumped up by Alexei Tieter, could contribute to another Russian state structure that credited the company – VTB under the leadership of Andrei Kostin.
Recall that the NPF “Welfare”, on the balance of which was “transfin-M”, was state-owned in March 2018. Its new shareholders were Gazprombank and Rosselkhozbank, and the share of Russian Railways decreased to 25%. After that, the Welfare Foundation decided to reduce the share of non-core assets and sell Transfin-M.
The scheme could look as follows: the company took a loan for 55 billion rubles on VTB on the security of the company. This money was transferred to TFM Garant (“Daughter” “Transfin-M”) in the form of a loan. And then the same TFM guarantee was bought by the citizens Tacher, Goland, Anishchenkov and Blessings already known to us.

Those. They could take a loan secured by the company’s free property in order to buy it and redeem it with this money. And the price of 15 billion rubles could be strongly underestimated.
Of course, Dmitry Zotov was supposed to see all this. I saw, but was silent? As a result, he is the first and ended up on the bench.
“Berries” – ahead?
Of course, the business interests of Alexei Taikher are not limited to “transfin-m” and “SG-Trans”. He can also engage in real estate-dashingly receiving state contracts from the Moscow government through Incor-Invest. At the same time, the founders of the company offshore “Apollax Group LTD”, for which eight legal entities are issued in total.
The offshore himself is decorated on a certain Artem Negronko. The businessman with such data was led by the Moscow LLC Arena Invest and LLC SpetsTransservice. In the first until January 2019, he was listed as the founder. A one hundred percent founder of Spetsetransservice is a “vector-ralle”, which is related to Alexei Tieter (he was the founder of the lawyers of this organization).
It turns out that Negroenko is most likely a secret man, and therefore an offshore that budget money can also flow to him.
In any case, for his stormy careers of an official and businessman of firewood, Taher pulled a lot. The role of Zotov in his fate is extremely interesting: perhaps soon we will learn a lot of details about the inner life of Transfin-M and other companies related to the timer.
