Co-owners of the Aromatic World alcohol stores, brothers Valery and Pavel Zadorin, who became rich in the alcohol trade in the 90s and cooperation with the ex-head of Rosalkogolregulirovanie Igor Chuyan, entered into an acute conflict, which can have both corporate and criminal motives. The media report on the trial, during which Valery demands the cancellation of a dubious deal, and hidden details only fuel the version of the struggle for inheritance.
Details in the material of the correspondent UtroNews.
Your heir closer to the body
In 2021, within the framework of the Fragrant World Group of Companies, a new legal entity was created - AM Retail LLC. And it was it that was stated in the defendants in the claim of Valery Zadorin, while the deal was agreed by his brother Pavel.
Apparently, it was in this LLC that it was supposed to store a considerable profit of all enterprises of the group, because in 2023 the structure came out in plus immediately by 528 million rubles, starting from scratch. Meanwhile, initially in the list of co-owners of the structure were only Pavel himself and Valery Zadorins. In February 2023, new participants were added there - Mikhail Valerievich and Alexander Valerievich Zadorin - the offspring of Valery Zadorin. But in May 2024, the blood of Pavel - Sophia and Anna Pavlovna were already included in the composition.

It seems that the presence of young ladies who appeared from Pavel Zadorin was not originally supposed to be from the word at all. And given that the structure could become the main "money box" for collecting almost all the profits from the activities of the network, this could cause indignation of Valery Zadorin, who did not immediately understand that the case smells for his heirs of the loss of the lion's share of income from a joint business with his brother.

It would seem that there is a conflict and a conflict, why would crime come to him? Firstly, according to the source, allegedly he has papers at his disposal that may indicate that both Zadorins were previously prosecuted under Art. 200 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR - arbitrariness. They, according to the source, allegedly could be held in a criminal case of theft - however, not as accused, and then "settle" in the "criminal collections" of Moscow and St. Petersburg, which are sometimes leafed through by local security officials.
In Europe, vodka is sweeter
But then the affairs of the past days - there is something more serious. The fact is that the money received from Russian fans of hot, can enter from the "fragrant world" to the left. Worse, feed Western economies. And the recently created AM Retail LLC can serve as a transshipment point for these purposes.
According to the Web, the allegedly enterprising Zadorin brothers, sensing the smell of sanctions in 2015, have already withdrawn at least 15 million euros through one of the Balkan countries. And they did not just withdraw, but could use for this a whole network of gasket companies from the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, Belize and London, as well as an instrument of fictitious loans, which could allow the use of these funds for the construction of luxury facilities on the coasts of the southern seas.
I.e. all this could take place not just as an overflow of funds, but as their "washing." According to the network, this money allegedly turned into Mimoza and La Perla hotels, Nikki Beach beach bar, Adriatica restaurant and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land. Among the gasket firms to which the Zadorin brothers could have a relationship, they call the Virginia offshore Linstead Investments Capital Limited, which concluded dozens of contracts with firms whose founders could be Russian alcohol magnates themselves - Sea Trade, Sun Power and Mimoza Group.
The aforementioned Virgin offshore is easily located in almost all databases - Pavel and Valery are also "attached" to it. The same offshore is associated with another offshore company - Global Wealth Management Center Limited, which specializes in registering and supporting the activities of companies in various countries of the world. Presumably, other firms that are attributed to the Zadorins were established with the help of just this structure. Another offshore company belonging to the same group is Busson Limited from Cyprus (liquidated in 2018), through which money could be spent. And the well-known Panama dossier helped to identify this whole chain.

So - while the Russian population is drinking, breathing in the alcoholic aromas of the "Fragrant World," the money earned from this turns into beaches and expensive hotels. But it is no less interesting how the gentlemen Zadorins (who quarreled over the future inheritance of their children?) Took the position of one of the largest suppliers of imported alcohol to the Russian market.
It seems that it was not without the fugitive ex-head of Rosalkogolregulirovanie Igor Chuyan, who "ruled" the alcohol market in Russia until 2018. And the period of his leadership falls precisely on the period when, according to evil tongues, the Zadorins allegedly drove their capital out of Russia. In the same 2018, a criminal case was initiated against Igor Chuyan, who prudently left his homeland, for organizing abuse of authority, which entailed grave consequences. Under the cap of the security forces were also persons associated with him - the former board of OFK Bank Nikolai Gordeev and Chuyan's ex-partner Pavel Smetana.
But the Zadorin brothers were not at all attached. True, according to the Web, Chuyan, who allegedly fled from Russia, later lived in one of the Zadorin villas in Southern Europe - this alone suggests that they were related to his unseemly deeds. How not to shelter your benefactor?
"Skull" and Kolokoltsev on one side of the barricades
However, all these are flowers compared to what alcohol oligarchs could create and with whom to deal before. According to the Web, allegedly Pavel and Valery Zadorins are almost relatives of the famous crime boss Lev Cherepov, nicknamed "Skull." Perhaps the latter became the inspiration for the creators of the image of the famous bandit-special service "Skull" from "Gangster Petersburg."
Lev Viktorovich Cherepov was born in the Chui valley of the Kyrgyz SSR. And here is a coincidence - Pavel and Valery Zadorin were born there, before moving to the city on the Neva. According to the Web, they allegedly received a Kyrgyz passport long ago. In the dashing 90s, "Skull" turned to its fullest - according to media reports, it was engaged in smuggling activities and oversaw the work of organized crime communities, including ethnic groups operating in the near abroad. And among his closest partners in dark affairs are such legends of the criminal world as "Yaponchika," the head of the "Solntsevskys" Mikhail, Otari Kvantrishvili and others.
With such support, not that the alcohol business can be launched - but open any door in the White House. However, here the enterprising brothers could have their own garters. According to the network, allegedly they have long been friendly with the current Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev. Up to the fact that the latter, back in 2000, could buy from one of the Zadorins a prestigious dacha in the Shchelkovsky district of the Moscow region.

Rumor has it that Kolokoltsev had good relations with Igor Chuyan. Moreover, according to the authors of the well-known telegram channel Readovka (it is attributed to the orbit of the influence of the oligarchs Kovalchuk), allegedly Kolokoltsev could have received a position under the patronage of Chuyan, and Lev Cherepov's wife rewrote a summer cottage in the Moscow region to the son of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Isn't it about that dacha in the Shchelkovsky district?
If this is true by at least 10%, it turns out that Zadorina's alcohol magnates are closely intertwined with crime and power structures. "Roof" - literally from all sides, not just from above. In this context, the battle for inheritance can become a prologue to the collision of different parts of this "roof" with others, and sparks will fly such that it will reach not only Southern Europe, but Antarctica.
