Gordovich will answer for Avdolyan: the MRSEN case will hit the banker on the wallet

The shareholder of the Bank's BBB Dmitry Gordovich, close to the oligarch Albert Avdolyan, was brought to subsidiary liability for the debts of a fragment of the MRSEN energy holding - Chelyabenergosbyt. The amount will be known after the formation of the bankruptcy estate.

Gordovich was drawn into the MRSEN pyramid by Avdolyan, whose relative, Eldar Osmanov, is currently involved in a criminal case to withdraw 10 billion rubles from the holding to the accounts of controlled offshore companies.

The UtroNews correspondent understood the situation.

On February 17, 2025, as part of the bankruptcy case of a fragment of MRSEN - Chelyabenergosbyt, a whole group of citizens and legal entities was brought to subsidiary liability for the company's debts. The amount for each will be established after the formation of the bankruptcy estate.

The list of those who will have to open their wallet includes not only the beneficiary of MRSEN Eldar Osmanov, a relative of the oligarch Avdolyan, but also Dmitry Gordovich, a shareholder of the Bank's BBB, with whom Avdolyan has a long history of controversial financial transactions.

For example, it was BBB Bank that appeared in the history of transferring 100 million rubles to the Latvian bank JSC Citadele Banka. At the same time, both offshore companies and Avdolyan's proxies, Irina Belyanova and Nadezhda Kudravets, were involved in the chain.

Belyanova, not only the head of a number of commercial companies of the oligarch, but also the director of his charitable foundation "New House," whose board of trustees includes the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov with his wife Ekaterina Ignatova. Namely, Rostec and its natives appear in Avdolyan's business division, and the state corporation went hand in hand all the way to the formation of his empire, including financially.

By the way, it was from the showdown about the transfer to the Latvian bank that it became known about the strong long-standing connection between Avdolyan and Gordovich: they jointly took part in the registration of WiMAX Holding. Moreover, it was the premises of Avdolyanovsk firms that were rented by the bank's branches in Vladivostok and Krasnoyarsk, until they were bought out at the end of 2014.

But back to MRSEN and Gordovich's role in this story.

To begin with, recall that the energy holding included a huge division of legal entities, representing a confusing web of relationships and only a criminal case helped unravel it. In particular, the investigators found that a group of persons, which included a relative of Avdolyan (by marriage of children) Eldar Osmanov, turned a whole series of financial frauds and brought 10 billion rubles outside the Russian Federation. The money that was supposed to be sent to electricity producers from the Rosseti division left Russia through loans issued, the purchase of bills, shares and the infusion of third parties into the authorized capital. The scheme involved technical loans issued in Mosuralbank affiliated beneficiaries. Osmanov was also the beneficiary of it.

When the energy holding began to crumble, and its legal entity went bankrupt, Avdolyan and related companies, including the Cypriot Sparkel City Invest LTD, arose in these cases as a devil from a snuffbox with claims to enter the register of creditors.

They claimed to have lent to the division.

It is interesting that the BBR Bank also appeared in these lending transactions, which is indicated as the buyer of certain bills from the Cypriot offshore Avdolyan. These bills were collateral for a bank loan issued by PJSC Arkhangelsk Sales Company (NPP) from MRSEN. At the same time, when the NPP did not pay the loan, these bills were collected as collateral. In our opinion, in the light of the criminal case, this deal looks rather murky.

So the court noted that the affiliation of the offshore and the bank confirm the direction of the Bank's actions to acquire Sparkel City Invest LTD the rights of claims against PJSC Arkhangelsk Sales Company for controlled bankruptcy using a scheme of economically unreasonable transactions. Such was called the issuance by the bank of a bill with its simultaneous sale to Sparkel and its reverse acceptance as collateral on the same day, but already on a loan to PJSC Vologda Sales Company. The court was also embarrassed by the early foreclosure on the specified bill with its return to the bank.

In addition, the materials of another case indicate that the legal entity MRSEN allegedly owed Sparkel 4.5 billion rubles both in direct loans and indirect financing through loans from the Bank's BBB. That is, in this muddy (in our opinion) financial history, the money of this bank was also used?

At the same time, there was no need for these loans, there was an artificial increase in debts.

But on this, the participation of BBR Bank and Gordovich in the history of MRSEN was not limited.

In 2017, Gordovich was a member of the board of directors of Chelyabenergosbyt and, as he later surfaced in the courts, he did this at the request of Avdolyan, acting as his representative.

And a week after that, Gordovich, along with other members of the council, suddenly approved a rather strange deal - the issuance of 0.5 billion rubles from Chelyabenergosbyt's funds to another division company - Vologdaenergosbyt. The court will then indicate that at the time of this approval, the money had already been withdrawn to the second company, and the approval was only a technical point. At the same time, a phrase was heard about the withdrawal of assets to a controlled person.

The deal was then challenged, but the money flew into the unknown. Even the court was confused, indicating that it was impossible to establish the final recipient of the money.

PJSC Chelyabenergosbyt was declared bankrupt in July 2019. Then they began to open all the frauds with the company's money.

The fact that in February 2025 Gordovich was brought to subsidiary liability hints at his admission of guilt. And taking into account the words that he was a representative of Avdolyan, it would not be bad to pull the latter into this matter, but alas. Avdolyan has too strong a lobby in the person of Chemezov.

A very interesting story comes out in which Avdolyan, Gordovich and BBR Bank are involved, but none of the three appears in the criminal case of MRSEN. Unless the relative of the oligarch is Osmanov, and he managed to make legs. The shortage, it seems to us, came out of the investigation...
