The former president of Transneft PJSC, and now a member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Savelyev, is facing personal bankruptcy in the near future. The Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region initiated proceedings in the case of declaring Dmitry Savelyev bankrupt (case No. A41-1950/22). Savelyev’s large debts were the result of the gradual ruin of almost all of his businesses, and therefore many lawsuits and financial failures accumulated around him.

Thus, the Leninogorsk City Court of the Republic of Tatarstan is considering 3 cases at once on claims of PJSC Ak Bars Bank for the collection of debt from Senator Dmitry Savelyev totaling over 1 billion rubles (cases No. 2-988/2021; No. 2-1029/2021; No. 2-976/2021).

As it became known to the Cheka-OGPU, guarantee agreements were concluded between Ak Bars Bank PJSC and Savelyev, under which he acts as a guarantor in the corresponding loan and guarantee agreements between Ak Bars Bank PJSC and Uralstroyneft LLC, which belonged to him. Savelyev became a participant in the latter at the end of 2017, when Realty Center LLC, which belonged to him, acquired for next to nothing a 70% stake in Uralstroyneft LLC and Spetsstroyservis LLC from their former owner, entrepreneur from Tatarstan Sirin Badrutdinov, as reported by the federal media. The companies were major contractors of Transneft PJSC.

Having become the actual owner of the companies, Savelyev removed Badrutdinov from management, forming a Board of Directors from among Moscow managers loyal to him, who began withdrawing assets and funds from the companies. Realizing that the immediate prospect of both enterprises was their bankruptcy, Savelyev decided to appoint Badrutdinov as the leader in the ruin of the companies, at the same time pinning on him all the newly formed debts of Spetsstroyservis LLC and Uralstroyneft LLC. To do this, his subordinates filed a statement about the theft of the assets of Spetsstroyservis LLC, allegedly by Sirin Badrutdinov himself. The application was submitted to the Investigation Department of the Southern Administrative District of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia in Moscow, which at that time was headed by Boris Lavrenev – the hero of a major corruption scandal about giving a bribe to the deputy head of the Directorate of M of the FSB of the Russian Federation Oleg Menzhinsky, who was recently dismissed by the Chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin, about which VChK-OGPU reported.

Based on this statement, on March 19, 2020, a criminal case was opened, the investigation of which was entrusted to the investigator of the Investigation Department of the Southern Administrative District of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia in Moscow, Kirill Arkharov. At the same time, neither Moscow nor its Southern Administrative District naturally has anything to do with the circumstances of the theft of the assets of a company located in Leninogorsk, Republic of Tatarstan.

In the criminal case, Sirin Badrutdinov has been under house arrest for over a year, and the investigation of the criminal case itself is accompanied by unprecedented administrative pressure, the undisguised bias of the investigator and the satisfaction of Savelyev’s interests. In particular, investigator Kirill Arkharov categorically refuses to accept evidence that is inconvenient for the investigation about the involvement of Savelyev himself and his subordinates in the withdrawal of company assets, which we will discuss in more detail later.
