Law enforcement officers came close to the "dairy business" of the largest shareholder of Rostelecom Konstantin Malofeev : the court arrested the head of "Rusagroprom" - a company that did not give VTB credit $ 225 million, which were intended to purchase real estate from Malofeev. Stories with a multimillion -dollar loan for more than five years, but only this week it has developed.
In 2007, Rusagroprom, led by Evgenia Kremenva, received money from VTB to buy six farms from Nutratek, which was controlled by the Malofeev Foundation Marshall Capital. Almost immediately after the issuance of money, VTB announced that he had been misleading, and decided to regain $ 225 million, applying to the high court of London on this occasion.
The story with a lost loan would have continued to develop sluggishly abroad, if on Tuesday, November 20, law enforcement officers did not visit the searches for Malofeev, Killene, the head of Rostelecom, Alexander Podorov and the son of the former Prosecutor General Dmitry Skuratov. They were promptly interrogated, and today, November 22, the court issued the arrest of Evgenia Kremenva, RIA Novosti reports. It is possible that today the investigation will make a decision on the fate of Malofeev and Streetorov, notes Business FM .
Meanwhile, Forbes decided to figure out why law enforcement officers were activated about such a long -standing story that the Fund for the fight against the corruption of Alexei Navalny had long been investigating and described in detail . Journalists came to the conclusion that the redistribution of property in Rostelecom had matured, Malofeev simply “nightmare” for his share in the company, and the team was given at the very top.
Malofeev - "The Ministry of Defense from God"
Konstantin Malofeev is a very successful investment banker. His Foundation Marshall Capital for envy for many over seven years of existence increased the amount of assets by 10 times, to $ 2 billion.
All his acquaintances say that Malofeev is an orthodox, and Vera was an element of his success. It is known that the confessor of Malofeev is Archimandrite of the Sretensky Monastery Tikhon (Shevkunov). The priest helps the investor on many issues, including business affairs. And not alone - Tikhon also instructs the ex -head of the Ministry of Communications Igor Schegolev. He, in the past of a high -ranking official, calls the circle of Malofeev the patron saint of the head of Marshall Capital. During the time that Schegolev was at the head of the Ministry of Communications, the affairs of Malofeev went uphill.
According to the religious part, the "Minority from God" also met with the head of the Federation "Federation" Vladimir Kiselev. At that time, Kiselev was looking for sponsors and found the Foundation of St. Vasily, which, according to Izvestia , was established by Malofeev.
It turned out that the head of Marshall Capital was present at the reception of the Federation, where Vladimir Putin sang and played Blueberry Hill . There was a suspicion that Malofeev could be personally familiar with the current president - Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov could neither confirm or refute this information. He only recalled that the investor was sitting "two tables from Putin."
Malofeev had a relationship with the head of the Kremlin administration Sergei Ivanov. The official recently defended the interests of Malofeev when they wanted to do without a criminal case in Rostelecom. Then the government wanted to resign the head of Rostelecom’s head of Rosetorov, but the document signed by Ivanov rejected this proposal.
Dalhofeev managed to get certain bonuses in the eyes of the authorities due to participation in the "struggle for the purity of the Internet." He was a developer and lobby for a scandalous initiative to create "black lists" sites, organizing a safe Internet league .
With Alexander Strotorov and Dmitry Skuratov, the "minority of God" also had spiritual ties - Tikhon was their mentor. Skuratov, the son of a former prosecutor general, was not a simple lawyer, as his father claims, but was responsible for security in Marshall Capital. The connection with the security forces, according to some sources, was not superfluous to Malofeev, making his business “unsinkable”.
Against Malofeev - two ministers at once
The disgraced investor has repeatedly been offered to sell his share in Rostelecom. But, according to sources, Malofeev agreed only with a “too big bonus to the market price” of his shares. In addition, the head of Marshall Capital is unhappy in the government - his patron saint Igor Schegolev in the office is no more, and the new head of the Ministry of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov criticizes Rostelecom for inefficiency and a drop in capitalization. And the sanction for the "development" of Malofeev was given by none other than the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev, Forbes is sure.
Malofeev himself felt that the clouds were gathering over him. Therefore, probably, he urgently tried to become a deputy in local elections in the Smolensk region, which would give him a chance to occupy the senator’s chair and get immunity. But from the elections he was removed a day before the vote. For observers, this was a signal that the metropolitan resource included against the candidate, Forbes notes. However, in the elections, Malofeev nevertheless participated (due to the delay in the court decision) and even won them. His hopes for a place in the Council was destroyed by the governor of the Smolensk region, who recommended another candidate, although before that he personally campaigned for Malofeev.
Now, according to Forbes, this is the case: VTB "Nightmarit" Malofeev, and the potential buyer of his share is waiting for when a heeratively believer investor becomes more accommodating.
