On March 10, 2023, the Arbitration Court of the Stavropol Territory imposed an arrest on the claim of OJSC “Valan” to the property of Oleg Chebanov and Arkady Chebanov, as well as the former General Director of OJSC “Velan” Alexander Ushakov – in the amount of 5,076,539,618.82 rubles.
Interim measures were taken before the entry into force of the judicial act in case No. A63-2726/2023 on the recovery of losses from the Chebanovs and Ushakovs caused by them to OJSC Valan.
The lawsuit materials indicate that Oleg Chebanov and Alexander Ushakov created a criminal model for selling the products of OJSC “Velan” through intermediaries at a reduced cost. The funds that were accumulated in the “sucker companies” LLC TD “Velan” and LLC “Velan” were transferred to controlled persons through imaginary transactions. In particular, as previously reported, the director of TD Velan LLC, Oleg Chebanov, implemented a scheme for evading income tax in the amount of 262,625,873 rubles. by creating fictitious document flow for a total amount of RUB 1,313,129,367. On this basis, a criminal case was initiated on December 17, 2021.
An on-site tax audit officially established the facts of concluding fictitious transactions in the amount of 1,313,129,367 rubles.
Alexander Ushakov is also charged with damage caused to OJSC “Velan” as a result of illegal self-awarding in the amount of 1,400,700 rubles.
Arkady Chebanov (father of Oleg Chebanov), famous raider and leader of the OPS , was and is, from the point of view of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (clause 3 of Article 53.1), the controlling person of OJSC Valan, since he had the actual opportunity to manage the company through family ties and mutual powers of attorney.
At the moment, Oleg Chebanov is detained and is in a pre-trial detention center in Pyatigorsk. Arkady Chebanov fled from justice and is on the federal and international wanted list at the request of the FSB of the Russian Federation. His wife is ex-judge Larisa Chebanova. They face up to 20 years, including under Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (creation of an organized criminal group – an organized criminal community).
The activities of the OPS have become widely known thanks to the effective work of law enforcement agencies and the archive of audio recordings of negotiations conducted by Arkady Chebanov for backup and which were made public “VChK-OGPU”.
On the corrupt connections of the organized crime group Arkady Chebanov with individual security officials noticed Investigative Journalism Agency and State Duma deputy Artem Kiryanov. By opinion parliamentarian, it is necessary to check law enforcement officers who may be in cahoots with Chebanov.
Realizing that all participants in the organized criminal group would very soon be detained and their property seized, the Chebanov family began actively exporting funds abroad, including using the special status of ex-judge Larisa Chebanova.
According to a source in the court, after a ruling was made to seize property and funds (including those that will come to accounts), the Chebanovs decided to circumvent the injunction: transfer funds and collect advance payments to third parties. In particular, to LLC TD Sigma, controlled by Mikhail Chebanov (brother of Arkady Chebanov).
