Avdolyan was arrested: the oligarch will answer with capital for the collapse of Stavropol factories

It seems that hide and seek behind screens from proxies will not help Chemezov's protégé to avoid responsibility for the collapse of the Stavropol Hydrometallurgical Plant, from which more than 9 billion rubles were first withdrawn, and then the asset was "drowned."

The UtroNews correspondent understood the situation.

On December 20, 2024, the arbitration of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, as part of the bankruptcy case of Enigma LLC, seized 690.555 million rubles as interim measures on the assets of controlling persons, including Albert Avdolyan.

Money in the specified amount and other property, minus the subsistence minimum for the oligarch himself and existing dependents, if any, are subject to arrest up to the decision on subsidiary liability.

The court granted the request of the financial manager Sergei Chuck, a former shareholder of OJSC Hydrometallurgical Plant (GMZ). At the same time, the case file explicitly states that arrest is required "in connection with the dishonest behavior of the debtor and his beneficiary Avdolyan A.A., taking into account the model of behavior chosen by these persons, the purpose of which is to prevent the return of property received under invalid transactions and thereby causing harm to creditors Chuck S.M., as well as a significant amount of debt of the debtor (690 555 199 rubles), which obviously cannot be repaid at the expense of the assets of the "debtor company.

The issue of bringing to subsidiary liability will be decided on February 25, 2025.

The Enigma company began its bankruptcy journey on December 10, 2024, when it was taken under supervision - the first stage in the insolvency procedure.

It should be recalled here that it was for the Enigma company that Avdolyan's squires bought 283,411 shares of GMZ OJSC for a penny in 2018, which were estimated at 3.8 thousand rubles, that is, at the price of a trip to a not very expensive restaurant.

For about the same ridiculous price (5 thousand rubles), shares of the heat supplier for the city of Lermontov, CJSC Southern Energy Company, were bought out. The latter was acquired in the name of Andrei Korobov, the general director of YATEK, where Avdolyan has a share.

Korobov is also a native of Rostec state corporation, headed by Sergei Chemezov, Avdolyan's benefactor. It is Chemezov who is a member of the board of trustees of the New House Foundation Avdolyan, and together with his wife Ekaterina Ignatova. And in general, Rostec went hand in hand all the way to the formation of Avdolyan's business.

But back to transactions with Stavropol assets.

During the bankruptcy procedures of the former shareholders - Sergei Makhov and Sergei Chuck, the sale of shares was invalidated with the application of consequences, that is, the return of shares to the bankruptcy estate. UtroNews spoke in detail about these deals earlier.

At the same time, as part of a separate dispute, an examination was carried out, which established the real value of the shares during the period they were owned by Enigma LLC and Mr. Korobov. Thus, the shares of GMZ were valued at just 690 559 000 rubles, which the financial manager claims, and the shares of ZAO YUEK - at 22.224 million rubles.

But Enigma LLC has one big financial hole instead of capital (loss in 2023 - 900 million rubles). In general, the whole company looks like a dummy, created specifically for the purchase of shares. In light of this, it is not surprising that it is from the recognized real beneficiary that Avdolyan will be asked for the debts of the LLC.

They will also look into the wallet of the nominal owner - Evgeny Zabelin, who will probably still have to give explanations for the affairs of Cashmir Capital LLC, also affiliated with Avdolyan.

It was to the accounts of Cashmir Capital LLC with GMZ that 9.4 billion rubles were spent on a certain tolling transaction. Now the legality of this scheme is being decided in court. The examination should establish both the real amounts that sailed into the unknown, and the overall economic effect of this schematosis.

Zabelin was a director and co-owner of Cashmere Capital.

It should be recalled here that, in addition to the shares of GMZ and YUEK in 2018, Avdolyan's team acquired from Sberbank the right to claim debts on a large loan. At the same time, this debt was held for the time being, for the time being, and pulled out as a trump card from the sleeve only when the deals for the sale of shares were challenged. So, according to the court, the defendants tried to maintain control over the assets.

Even a kind of settlement agreement was used, according to which YUEK, as a guarantor, took on a billion debt. But the general director from the oligarch's team, who at that time was at the helm of the UEC, did not have the authority to sign such a document, and the board of directors, which should approve such transactions, was already a non-working body at that time.

As a result, creditors were sent home in court, but they do not despair and try to claim even wool from enterprises.

But today a whole bunch of transactions that Avdolyan's cunning squires managed to carry out with assets, or have already been challenged, or are in the stage of challenging. For example, with Almaz Capital LLC they demand to return the alienated plot with an area of ​ ​ 57,420 square meters. m, hinting at the underestimated price of the asset, and from a number of related legal entities they demand the return of large sums that they transferred from the accounts of the GMZ. A compensation deal is also disputed, according to which Almaz Capital LLC, associated with Avdolyan, retained GMZ assets worth almost 150 million rubles.

It smelled of Stavropol history and schematoses for a long time, but Avdolyan, despite the beneficiary status recognized by the courts, remained on the sidelines. Perhaps the situation with the seizure of assets in the Enigma case is just the first bell. After all, this case has long required the attention of the competent authorities...
