"The coward does not play hockey"
The famous Soviet hockey player Vladislav Tretyak is a long -standing and faithful member of the United Russia party. In 2005, he put his signature under the “letter in support of the sentence of the former leaders of the“ Yukos ”. In 2011, he signed the notorious“ appeal of public representatives against the information undermining of confidence in the judicial system of the Russian Federation. ”Finally, in December 2012, Vladislav Tretyak voted for the law prohibiting the Americans to adopt children from Russia and to assist Russian human rights activists.
At the same time, part of Vladislav Tretyak’s income and real estate is located in the States and getting into the “Magnitsky list” for him would mean not only the end of his international reputation, but also a significant blow to the affected.
Tretyak became a deputy of the State Duma for a long time, back in 2003 (and since 2000 he met in the Kremlin as part of the Presidential Council for Physical Culture and Sports). However, in parallel in the United States, he headed Vladislav Tretiak North American Hockey Academy, which was the declared purpose of amateur sports in the United States, the organization of sports tournaments, competitions and summer sports training for children (the registration number of the company in Illinois - 60688141, organized on September 22, 1999, stopped her activities of her activities. May 2, 2011). The company regularly submitted income declarations to the tax service (there are declarations for 2001 , 2003 , 2008, 2009 in the public domain). The financial declarations not only indicate that Tretyak leads this company, but also reports that the average number of hours dedicated to their work in it is 5 hours a week.
Deputy duties in Russia did not prevent him from devoting to working with American children quite a lot of time. Parents were enthusiastic about his coaching work: “They were pierced at the goalkeepers of Vladislav Tretyak for the past 5 years, and in this school we saw the greatest progress. Unlike most other sections with the“ loud name of the goalkeeper ”, Tretyak himself is engaged in the goalkeepers on ice and outside the ice ... goalkeepers from all over the country and from abroad ..." " In six hours of training sessions ..." " Russian deputy Tretyak took 199 dollars for each child (here's an announcement about this ).
It was apparently so good that in 2009 the Unitedient Tretyak purchased an apartment in Miami for $ 1 million at 4775 Collins AV, Unit 3601, Miami Beach, Florida 33140.
Here are photos of this apartment from one of the real estate sites in Miami. This is a luxury condominium with a beautiful view of the ocean:
But the official registration of the transaction for the purchase of the Tretyak apartment in Miami, registered on April 7, 2009 in the corresponding municipality:
Did the deputy Tretyak indicate in the Duma a declaration of property and income for 2009, his American apartment? Of course not: here . Anything is indicated: an apartment in Russia, an apartment in Latvia and two Russian cottages. But there is no American. Nothing is said about that million bucks that are paid for the apartment. According to the declaration, the Tretyak himself earned 2 million 85 thousand 462 rubles in 2009, and his wife - 204 thousand 727 rubles.
To clean the conscience, we will look into the latest declaration (for 2011), laid out on the State Duma website. There the picture is this: an apartment in Moscow, an apartment in Latvia and two country houses. The income is this: 6 million 532 thousand 541 rubles. About the apartment in Miami - silent.
Studying American documents, we see that, as his address, when concluding a purchase and sale transaction, the unicorn, the unicorn, was not indicated by the Moscow address at all, but the address in Illinois: 1925 Birch RD, Northbrook, IL 60062.
Here is the house that is located at the specified address:
The fact that Tretyak really lived there (and not only when he coached the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team, but also later) is confirmed from numerous sources. The address breaks through, for example, in fan forums. It was there that the fans were sent to get an autograph of the photograph of the Tretyak - soon the pictures with the autograph came back. It lasted several years. For example, a fan Dave sent a card to this address on June 16, 2010, and received it back from the Tretyak on August 28 (similar cases: here and here ).
However, according to the real estate register of the local municipality, this house has not been owned by Tretyaku since 1986, but to a certain Isak Berger.
Tretyak and Berger are long -standing business partners. First, together in 2004 (I remind you that the Tretyak since 2003 State Duma deputy) organized the Flagship International USA LLC (from the documents it follows that the Tretyak is actually Berger's neighbor).
Then, in 2006, the company of Berger himself was registered at the same address:
Nutra Source Inc specializes in the production and supply of biological additives to Russia. In the register of dietary supplements issued by the Ministry of Health, we find the drugs that this company produced and which were allowed for sale in the Russian Federation.
We find these drugs in the register of products that have passed state registration . These are four dietary supplements. It is stated that the products of the American company Nutra Source Inc are packaged in the Reutovo company OOO "CMIRNOV and partners" by order of the Moscow OOO "Natural Source".
According to the information portal of interregional business cooperation, OOO "Natural Source" provides services "to the implementation of biologically active food additives (nutricatics) manufactured by Nutra Source, Inc, USA". The following coordinates of OOO "Natural Source" are indicated - Moscow, Nashchekinsky per. 12, tel. 203-69-32, fax 939-00-50. They are advertised at different events ( here, for example).
(“Natural Source” is apparently a bad translation of the words Nutra Source. “Source” is a source, and Nutra is usually from the word “nutrition”, food, but translated as “natural”, from “Natural”.)
But what is interesting: OOO "Natural Source" was in Moscow at the same address as the "Hockey Academy" Tretyaka:
That is, in the USA the address of Mr. Berger and his company Nutra Source Inc. coincide in the United States. (Moreover, Tretyak announces this address as his own), and in Moscow the address of the Tretyak Foundation and LLC "Natural Source" coincide. Immediately the idea arises that we are dealing with the poorly disguised business of the deputy.
On the website of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights and Human Welfare, we find three products allegedly produced by Nutra Source Inc. In Illinois, packaged in Reutov by order of the company in Moscow.
"Superman Power Yohimbe Plus"
Chewing tablets "Protein"
Food additive "omega-3"
All three dietary supplements are widely represented in pharmacies (for example, here and here ).
The regulatory documentation indicates the "Free Sales Certificate issued by the New York (USA) Ministry of Health." I'm afraid to make a mistake, but it seems to be a bullshit. My American friends rummaged through everything that you can in the New York Department of Public Health. They could not find any information about any permits for the sale of dietary supplements. The States does not require federal registration of dietary supplements, and most likely, individual states also do not require this either. There are requirements for Labeling, but that's all. And why on earth did a small company from Illinois suddenly decided to register something in New York, and not at home? Moreover: no one can find any traces of sales of this company in the United States, and no traces of production in the United States.
Isak Berger is an elderly person, judging by Public Records. Where and how can it make and export (!) Products of the "manufacturing company" with a number of one person who has nothing in the United States at all, except for addresses in a private residential building? At the same time, someone clearly faces something in Reutovo and, using the hardware weight of the Tretyak, receives licenses and successfully sells in Russia.
It is worth looking at the "International Sports Academy of Vladislav Tretyak". In 2000, this "Academy" received from the mayor of Luzhkov for a rental of 49 years more than eight hectares of land for the construction of the "sports and leisure center". Moreover, for the sake of the Tretyak, the authorities had to revise the boundaries of the Mitino Landscape Park natural complex . The host deputy received the land under preferential conditions-without paying for the value of the right to conclude a lease agreement. The Academy is going to erect on the lands of the former natural complex with a building with an area of 118.24 thousand square meters. m, of which the ground part will be 77 thousand square meters. m. Underground will be parking for 1770 cars. Wonderful! But who are the owners of all this splendor? Two individuals (one of them is the deputy Tretyak, who is forbidden to engage in entrepreneurial activity) plus a certain non -profit partnership "assistance to law enforcement officials and members of their families."
I see nothing wrong with the fact that the world -famous hockey player is engaged in a successful business. But the work of the deputy imposes some restrictions and requires a certain transparency. For example, you can not hide from the public neither this business, nor your property, nor your income. Especially if all this is in the country that Vladislav Tretyak, judging by the laws he voted, sincerely hates.
I mean the United States.
