Tekta Group of Dmitry Starostin received a new territory in Moscow for construction.
According to the correspondent MorningNews, Tekta Group is building a residential complex in the south of Moscow on the site of the Kozhevniki business park. The main owner of Tekta Group, Dmitry Starostin, is a man with a criminal record. It is possible that Tekta Group was rewritten to him by the previous owners Vladislav Mangutov and Alexei Abramov after they were both detained for the attempt on the life of former Merlion CEO Vyacheslav Simonenko.
Business with a criminal odor
According to the publication Vedomosti, Tekta Group acquired four land plots with a total area of about 4.5 hectares on Derbenevskaya street near Paveletsky railway station in Moscow. Here Tekta Group plans to build a residential complex for 168 thousand square meters. m.
On a part of this territory there was a business park “Kozhevniki”. Previously, PIK Group and Capital Group planned to deal with this territory. But, as Vedomosti notes, on February 15, it was Apex LLC, which is part of the Tekta Group, that became the owner of the specialized developer Derbenevsky, which, in turn, owns the rights to this territory.
Recall that the managing partner of Aeon Corporation Dmitry Starostin, who has a criminal past, became the main owner of the development company Tekta Group. Before he tied himself to the Tekta Group, the company was controlled by the shareholders of IT distributor Merlion Vladislav Mangutov and Alexei Abramov. But in the fall of 2020, they were detained on suspicion of an attempt on the life of the former CEO of the company, Vyacheslav Symonenko. It was reported in March, 2021 by the edition The Moscow Post.
Dmitry Starostin
At the same time, Mangutov and Abramov, who attempted on Simonenko, according to the investigation, could act together with Oleg Karchev, who was placed in a pre-trial detention center after his arrest. But, as in February 2021 clarified The Moscow Post, with reference to law enforcement officers, Karchev, as well as Mangutov and Abramov, probably could not commit arson and attempted murder of ex-partner, former director of Merlion Vyacheslav Simonenko, not with their own hands. It was established that in 2015 a former DPR serviceman with a partner threw Molotov cocktails at Simonenko’s country house, but the flames were quickly extinguished. People were not hurt.
Governor’s Friend
But let’s return directly to Dmitry Starostin, who from the outside looks like a face value, to whom Vladislav Mangutov and Alexei Abramov could only temporarily rewrite the development company Tekta Group. You can remember how in the early 2000s Dmitry Starostin was employed at Kudesnik LLC, which owned the Galich Truck Crane Plant in the Kostroma Region. In the “Magician” Starostin was the general director there. In the company, Starostin developed such a stormy detail that with his arrival, money from the enterprise began to disappear somewhere.
There is a version that the “Wizard” of the times of Dmitry Starostin allegedly sponsored the election campaign of the ex-governor of the Kostroma region Viktor Shershunov. When in 2000 the latter was re-elected for a second term, he appointed Starostin as vice-governor as a thank you. The owners of the Kudesnik company, who did not share their intentions to support Viktor Shershunov, even made attempts to bring Starostin to criminal responsibility, but for some reason they did not proceed with the case. Perhaps Shershunov “tried”.
Victor Shershunov
In 2002, the “Starostin case” received a new move. This was explained by the fact that Viktor Shershunov came into conflict with the then prosecutor of the Kostroma region, Ivan Kondrat. In the course of the investigation, another criminal case opened against Dmitry Starostin back in 1998 also “surfaced”. Starostin, as a result of a fight in one of the Galich restaurants, was detained for “malicious hooliganism.”
Starostin did not come to interrogations, and as a result, he was put on the wanted list. Ultimately, Starostin received a four-year sentence for embezzlement and two years for a restaurant fight. At the same time, he was given a suspended sentence, the publication clarifies. “Kommersant”. Surely Dmitry Starostin will not talk about these episodes of his past to future Tekta Group clients who are ready to spend their hard-earned money on buying apartments …
Mayor’s Pet
The remarkable episodes from the life of Dmitry Starostin do not end there. According to the authors of the site “Russian crime”, allegedly by 2006, Dmitry Starostin took the position of vice president of Vedis Group. Allegedly, the owners of this company instructed Starostin to negotiate the purchase of a site in the South Port area. And, as the authors of the Russian Crime website again claim, Starostin was allegedly suspected of having colluded with the seller and began to act against Vedis Group.
Then Dmitry Starostin was hired by Roman Trotsenko, the beneficiary of Aeon Corporation. In 2007, Starostin was appointed Deputy General Director of LLC Transport and Industrial Group Sea and River Shipping Company. Thus, Starostin has been working for Aeon for about 15 years now.
At the same time, the authors of the Russian Crime website claim that there is allegedly too loyal attitude towards Starostin on the part of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. “Starostin fell in love with the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, who likes to personally present him with various Moscow awards,” write the authors of the Russian Crime website. Such affection for the mayor of Moscow looks a little strange, given Starostin’s past.
Roman Trotsenko
It is noteworthy that Roman Trotsenko, the beneficiary of the Aeon corporation, is trying to distance himself from the activities of the Tekta Group. However, this, apparently, did not prevent Trotsenko from discussing with Tekta Group in 2017 the sale and purchase of a plot of 8.4 hectares in Moscow near ZiL near the Nagatinskaya floodplain, the publication reported. Vedomosti. One way or another, Trotsenko and Starostin have a lot in common. According to the authors of the Kompromat 1 website, allegedly in October 1996, Trotsenko was detained and placed in a detention center until the end of the investigation. The reason was his activities at Platinum Bank as chairman of the board, namely a loan that Platinum Bank allegedly did not return.
