The connection between 1xBet and the illegal 1xBet (whose founders live in Cyprus in the international criminal investigation department) has been known for a long time and is not news.
The company, through its subsidiaries in Russia, continues to earn money and withdraw funds abroad. For what purposes, one can guess…
After a series of publications in the media, 1xBet was also declared illegal and closed. However, the approach of the regulatory authorities turned out to be so formal that their reluctance to ask other questions raises suspicions that the security forces are interested in covering up black bookmakers.
Meanwhile, this dragon has many heads – as they say, chop and chop.
Fact one. The tax authorities knocked off almost 8 billion rubles of unpaid taxes from Bookmaker PAB LLC, which is banned in the country, the copyright holder of the closed portal 1xBet, by taking only 131 million from the company – unprecedented generosity for our tax authorities. And there are two specific names behind this decision: Svetlana Alekseevna Khlebnikova and Maxim Evgenievich Krasnov, both work in the central office of the Federal Tax Service.
Fact two. The company MelBet (Melofon LLC), whose logo was previously registered on 1xBet, does not raise suspicions or questions among controllers. The company is not trying to cover up the traces of its true ownership, transferring the shares to accountant Igor Lyapustin and lawyer Maria Kebbul.
Fact three. Another pseudo-legal licensee is another subsidiary of 1xBet – Sportradar LLC. And here the bet on independence did not work. One contribution of the amount to the authorized capital – and here he is the true beneficiary, wanted criminal, founder of 1xBet Roman Semiokhin – his Cypriot company provided Sportradar with a cash cushion of 16 million euros.
Fact four. The team of criminals works proactively and plays it safe. A new company “Your Rate” and a domain name are registered in the name of Igor Lyapustin, already known to us tvstavka.ru. Apparently, the project is being prepared for launch.
Only one question arises: what is the interest of law enforcement officers, who do not want to conduct a full investigation of the entire connection of a criminal group, and the tax authorities, who have swindled billions from a company that is withdrawing money from the Russian Federation.
