The raiders had their share of mistakes. The appellants drew the court’s attention to an absurd circumstance: the act on decommissioning the Viacard system was drawn up on January 28, 2019, but at the same time it contains references to circumstances that have not yet occurred, which will only occur on December 16, 2019. This once again proves that there are quite a lot of strange circumstances in this case.
As a result, the side, this time personally represented by Rustam Kurmaev, suffered a tactical defeat, since the hacking of the database was not confirmed. This fact casts doubt on other conclusions of the judge of the Moscow Arbitration Court, including the introduction of unreliable supply transactions worth 65 million rubles into the database. That is, if there was no hacking of the database, then how could transactions be introduced there? Moreover, this circumstance was not confirmed either by the case materials to which he refers, or by the examinations carried out. Will the courts be able to correct the mistakes made?
At the same time the final point in the history of the raid has not been set lawyers of Rustam Kurmaev to systemically important enterprises of the Russian Federation, in which the winnings from fines and compensation in the amount of 236 million rubles. with Terminal Service LLC, Viakard expects to receive 1.3 billion rubles from disputed transactions. from the companies “Tvernefteprodukt”, “Tatneft”, and “Neftmagistral”.
Paradoxically, in the absence of claims from buyers against the debtor, the Tvernefteprodukt and Tatneft gas station networks were unable to prove in court the reality of the supply. Gas station chains were formally recognized as affiliated, and all their evidence was found to be unfounded. At the same time, Viakard participated in the transactions and was caught knowing that they were real. However, after the cassation hearing returned the dispute to the second round, the courts fully supported the position of Kurmaev’s lawyers, thereby simply ignoring reality.
In this regard, based on statements from Tatneft and Surgutneftegaz, criminal cases were initiated against as yet unidentified persons from among the employees of the law firm Rustam Kurmaev and Partners, Viacard LLC and RKK Capital LLC on the grounds of a crime under Part. 3 tbsp. 30, part 4 art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
This situation was brought to the attention of the State Duma. Deputy Mikhail Delyagin summed up: “We have all the indirect signs that we are faced with fraud, raider takeover and economic terrorism.”
Currently, the Supreme Court is considering complaints regarding the contested transactions of Tatneft and Neftmagistral. The intrigue remains.
Has Russia developed a “road map” for raider takeovers of gas station networks?
We continue to talk about the details of the bankruptcy of Terminal Service, which could lead to a redistribution of the fuel market
