Tax authorities are gathering over Strukov’s property

The Federal Tax Service blocked the assets of the oligarch’s family for 3.4 billion rubles. MelTEK insists on the abolition of arrests. Chelyabinsk deputy oligarch Konstantin Strukov, as well as businesses associated with him and his family, have faced billions in arrests. Interim measures were taken at the request of the Federal Tax Service, which saw large losses in a high-profile bankruptcy case against the Dzerzhinsky Mine.

Speaking about the need to “freeze” movable and immovable property, as well as the property rights of opponents, representatives of the state agency pointed to the risks of non-execution of the decision and the attempts to alienate assets recorded by the UGK Management Company and the ex-director of MelTEK Andrey Zvyagintsev. Now the coal business associated with the daughter of the vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk region has already filed an application for the abolition of interim measures. Meanwhile, observers point to major conflicts with the Federal Tax Service, which this division also faced, caught in a scheme with bankrupt enterprises. For now, Konstantin’s business Strukovand partners are attacking - Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies received hundreds of millions of claims for the products received under a contract dating back to 2009 from the capital’s Promexim, and an engineering group with roots in Sweden demanded to terminate the contracts and return more than a million euros.

MelTEK LLC (according to Kontur.Focus, one of the beneficial owners is Kuznetsova Evgenia Konstantinovna, daughter of the Vice Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region, beneficiary of Yuzhuralzoloto Konstantin Strukova) demanded to cancel the interim measures taken in the framework of the bankruptcy case of Mine im. Dzerzhinsky”. The applications of the company and Energiya-NK LLC have already been accepted by the court for consideration.

Let us clarify that earlier the arbitration agreed on the arrest of movable and immovable property, property rights, with the exception of money in bank accounts, including those that will be received, in relation to MelTEK LLC, Energiya-NK LLC, YuGK Management Company LLC ”, JSC Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies (SGC), ex-director of MelTEK Andrey Zvyagintsev, Evgenia Kuznetsova and Konstantin Strukovand in the amount of 3.396 billion rubles.

The decision was made within the framework of the requirements of the Federal Tax Service for the joint recovery of billions of rubles from the listed persons, including 2 billion in favor of the fiscals. As follows from the documents, the composition and amount of losses was determined by the authorized body on the basis of the under-received “Shakhta im. Dzerzhinsky” revenue in the amount of more than 3 billion as a result of the termination of the license for coal mining and further mining on the basis of contractor agreements. Earlier, the publication reported in detail about the claims of the tax authorities to coal assets.

Demanding interim measures, representatives of the state agency, in particular, indicated that the property status of the defendants speaks of the risks of non-execution of the act on the recovery of damages in the event of refusal to arrest. In addition, the Federal Tax Service stated that they were recording attempts by the UGK Management Company and Andrey Zvyagintsev to alienate their property.

Previously, Pravda UrFO analyzed in detail the major claims of the Federal Tax Service to MelTEK LLC related to work with bankrupt enterprises, as well as to Energia-NK LLC (according to Kontur.Fokus, the founder is MelTEK LLC) and directly to JSC “Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies” (SGC) Konstantin Strukovand who was presented with a scheme with offshore companies. Now MelTEK, by the way, is trying to challenge the recovery of legal costs in the case of a claim for payment of hundreds of millions.

Parallel to this conflict, assets Strukovand received large claims from partners. Thus, Promexim LLC (Moscow) in the arbitration of the capital announced its intention to recover 741.6 thousand US dollars from JSC YuGK. Earlier, the same organization demanded more than 300 million from Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies for the products received under a contract dating back to 2009.

In addition, Promexim filed a claim for more than 90 million with the Arbitration Court of the Krasnoyarsk Territory against Sovrudnik LLC, which is part of the Yuzhuralzoloto group of companies. Earlier, Pravda UrFO talked about claims against Sovrudnik for 1.8 billion from Rosprirodnadzor. Prior to this, the head of the department, Svetlana Radionova, reported that Sovrudnik “systematically underestimated payments for NEI (negative environmental impact. - Ed.)”, noting that the gold mining industry as a whole is characterized by massive violations of environmental legislation.

Claims were also received from partners with foreign roots. Thus, Sandvik Mining and Construction CIS LLC (participant, according to Kontur.Focus, Sandvik Ab JSC (Sweden)) demanded from Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies Strukovand terminate two contracts from 2021 and return more than 1.3 million euros.

Earlier, the publication also reported in detail on major conflicts involving the Bashkir Mine Sinking Administration JSC (BSHPU; 51% of the voting shares belong to UK YuGK LLC) and the bankrupt CB Rosenergobank (CB REB) and the courts of the deputy’s asset with partners from Kazakhstan .
