The criminal case of the Aquamir water park in Novosibirsk is overgrown with curious details: there are more and more bright defendants in a muddy business!
As it became known to the correspondent of The Moscow Post in the Novosibirsk Region, it seems that the scandalous businessman, the head of the Ratm Holding, Eduard Taran, a native of Novosibirsk, now for a long time thundered to fanfares: Mr. Taran was arrested in Moscow on October 11, 48 hours after the arrest of the former deputy prosecutor of the Novosibirsk region, he was later later – Deputy Head of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) – Alexander Popelukha.
Investigators are already “glue” all puzzles into one. And, according to the investigation, the ram and a poplukh entered the same OPS. And a great “torn out” chicken that carried the golden eggs was about the Aquamarian Novosibirsk water park, which was problematic and for a long time, but, having opened, began to enrich not only former prosecutors, but also criminal businessmen.
Sberbank structures also surfaced in this multi -volume business. And, it seems, there are still many arrests and landings ahead.
Magnet for financial transactions
The water park “Aquamy”, due to muddy affairs in which the head of the Ratm Holding Eduard Taran was arrested, forces to attract close attention. And today 5 defendants have already been arrested in the case of fraud on an especially large scale.
The investigation was already excavated that the Kvarsis Group of Companies may be involved in the water park, the owner is Peter Ovchinnikov. The group of companies was one of the leaders of the construction industry, as a subsidiary of Sberbank. But the shareholders of the Kvarsis company (apartments of the Sberbank system) later separated from the financial giant.
But soon the Kvarsis company began to experience problems with the delivery of housing. And then Ovchinnikov proposed a water park project to the Novosibirsk authorities: the implementation was estimated at 2 billion rubles.
Construction began in 2013.

The customer was the company “VDT Stroy”. But Kvarsis had his own funds only at the beginning of construction. The credit line was eventually provided by Interotopenergobank.
In 2016, the opening of the Aquamy took place.
But after 5 months, the customer company, which ruled the water park, “VDT Stroy” stopped paying for renting land. For VDT Stroy, the amount of debts amounted to about 2.2 billion rubles: most of which the company owed Interotopenergobank. The bank received the property complex of the water park.
This was reported “Favorite city”.
But the bank soon went bankrupt, so the water park passed into the ASV.
On January 25, 2021, police officers blocked the entrances to the water park. And it became known that the bankruptcy trustee of the VDT Stroy Dmitry Voronin transferred the Office of the White Sphere-Konstrakshn company.
The founders are Arkady Tarabrin and Maxim Zubachev.
Tarabrin is an affiliated person with the business structure of Eduard Taran: he previously held the post of general director of Ratm-Development.

The new tenant earned a lot of money in the water park, transferred smaller amounts to the competitive mass.
From the part of the DIA, the scheme was provided by the former deputy prosecutor of the Novosibirsk Region Alexander Poplyukh: millions left left …
So for a long time the water park “Akvamir” was robbed. And, as the investigation believes, the handwriting is very recognizable: Eduard Taran always acted so brazenly.
A bribe of 1 million rubles
Mr. Taran has a rich and bright biography. And he, as it turns out, was repeatedly detained by the investigating authorities. So, in 2010, Taran was detained at Sheremetyevo Airport when he flew from Nice.
This was reported “Kommersant”.
Then he was accused of transferring a bribe of 1 million rubles to the police officer for the termination of the audit in the holding structures.
Later, the main witness of the prosecution admitted that he slandered Taran. Or was this recognition bought?
As a result, the case fell apart.

Recall what exactly Mr. Taran was doing all these years.
More recently, Mr. Taran focused on the trade materials trade: RATM became the shareholder of Iskitim-chamber company, later a shareholder of Angarsk Cement, then Tarana acquired the screen of the RECROUS: in previous times, the plant produced TVs and military products. But soon the production area was redesigned to the manufacture of glass bottles.
The structure of the Ratm Holding includes industrial enterprises in the field of optical-electronic instrumentation, pumping, glass industry and development.
Scandals go on the heels
Scandals, intrigues, exposure – so – nevertheless – it is possible to characterize the activities of the ram, the beneficiary of the “Ratm Holding”.
It is said that traffic of prohibited substances may include the sphere of interests of Taran.
It wrote about this Utnews.
It also turns out that Mr. Taran intended to capture another building before his arrest. We are talking about the architectural monument – the house of officers in Novosibirsk.

This building was built in the 30s. In 2017, Taran was already trying to crank the scam to get this building.
This was reported “Tsargrad”.
Taran had a direct connection with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, part of which is now in jail. And before, they in every possible way contributed to the commercial interests of Taran, including in the transmission of historical buildings.
Several times, “Ratm Holding” appeared in the affairs of the deliberate bankruptcy of enterprises, in the capital of which the ram entered with the security forces.
Glass redistribution
In 2020, Mr. Taran “drew” in the Vladimir region. And he invited the local authorities to invest 2.5 billion rubles in the glass industry of the Gus-Khrustalny district.
Mr. Taran was very interested in the glass factory in Anopino, because in 2018 the management company Rasko LLC accumulated debts and lost the Anopinsky glass factory: he went as a deposit of the BBR BBR Dmitry Gordovich.

Then the plant went on use of tenants – the company “Expo Glass”.
The former owner of the plant Vitaly Mironov tried to regain control of the plant, for which he prepared documents on the termination of the lease agreement with EXPO Glass. Mironov began to cooperate with the structures of Taran holding. In July 2020, it was reported that the administration of the Vladimir region was ready to conclude an agreement with the Taran holding.
But Mr. Taran twice (before his new arrest on October 11) was on the dock. Recall that Mr. Taran was taken for a bribe and for tax frauds when selling the Rostec Group of Companies of the Lytkarinsky Optical Glass Plant. This was reported RBC.
“Ratm Holding” was accused of attempt by the raider seizure of the Angarskchant plant.
And such situations are the sea.
But it seems that the activities of the night “governor” of Novosibirsk (what often the media call the scandalous businessman) came the well -deserved ending?
