Vladimir Markin, an official representative of the Investigative Committee, explained that after the appearance of information about the case against the Corporation’s managers, “witnesses who declared the commission of other crimes also turned to investigators”.

So, the Investigative Committee, together with Rosfinmonitoring and Interpol, check the information “On the withdrawal of funds abroad, stolen by the former top managers of the state corporation”. However, no specific information is disclosed in the official message of the Investigative Committee.

Judging by the information of the sources of RBC in the Rusnano leadership, we are talking about the Moscow businessman Dmitry Lerner, who appealed to the Investigative Committee with an official statement addressed to Alexander Bastrykin.

Lerner himself, in a conversation with reporters, confirmed the fact of contacting the TFR. According to him, according to the statement, a preliminary check has already begun. In a letter, he asked to initiate a criminal case against the current head of Rusnano Anatoly Chubais and the former deputy head of the state corporation Andrei Malyshev, who, according to his lawyer, is on treatment outside Russia.

Dmitry Lerner has claims to the RUSNANO management in connection with one of the company's projects called UNIMM (the release of an innovative asphalt coating with the addition of car tires).

In 2010, Rusnano invested about 300 million rubles developed by the UNIMM project, developed by the New rubber, as a result of the state corporation, 35% of the Uniremas shares began to belong. It was assumed that the new coating would be produced at the Podolsk plant “Unicom”, the head of “Unicom” was the brother of Dmitry Lerner Mikhail.

Mikhail Lerner

Dmitry Lerner said that in 2009, Mikhail took 252 million rubles from him and did not return the money. In 2013, the New rubber company was liquidated, and a year later Mikhail Lerner received six years for fraud. Dmitry Lerner claims that the New rubber company had all the signs of one-day company and Rusnano was obliged to check it accordingly.

In the Rusnano itself, by the time of the speech of Vladimir Markin, Dmitry Lerner had already managed to comment on the claims that he turned to the UK became known after the publication in the newspaper Izvestia. “This person has been trying to resolve financial relations with his brother Mikhail Lerner for several years, who presented Rusnano in 2009 to produce a modifier to improve the strength of roads. On "our happiness" he was approved for financing, ”the State Corporation said in a statement .

The press service of Rusnano reported that back in 2010, a collection agency appealed to the state corporation with a proposal to pay off a family debt at the expense of public funds. Only after the refusal was received, Dmitry Lerner and began the persecution of his own brother for fraud.

“At the same time, Rusnano did not leave attempts at blackmail. The techniques of Mr. Lerner are very original and some examples of his epistolary creativity are attached to this statement. Such letters only from May to July 2015 received 11 pieces! ” - The message says.

The letters sent to Rusnano Dmitry Lerner really look rather unusual. In one of them, he actually accuses Anatoly Chubais of entering into a criminal conspiracy with Vladimir Putin "in order to evade criminal liability." “You, the defendant, stole 300 million euros and hid them. You are sentenced by 15 years of strict regime. Your last word. " In another letter, Lerner reports on the received messages to the phone that Anaoli Chubais agreed his murder with Vladimir Putin.

The statement of the official representative of the TFR Vladimir Markin was commented by the lawyer Anatoly Chubais Alexander Asin. He assured that Rusnano actively cooperates with the investigation and provides law enforcement officers with all the requested information and documents.

“As for the information about some new witnesses claiming other crimes to the accused, the company associate this with the statements of entrepreneur Dmitry Lerner, whose letters to the Rusnano leadership illustrate his“ reputation ”,” the Rosnano press service said.

Recall that the predecessor of Anatoly Chubais as chairman of Rusnano Leonid Melamed is now under house arrest. He is accused of embezzlement of especially large scale. The investigation claims that Melamed for the preparation of thefts hired by Rusnano Corporation “Rusnano” by Andrei Malyshev and Svyatoslav Ponurov, who, in the collusion with Melamed, “ensured a victory in the competition for the selection of an adviser to Alemar”. The dissatisfaction of the TFR causes two facts: firstly, the services that Alemar was supposed to be carried out under the contract were supposedly not, secondly, the Alemar company belongs to Leonid Melamed, thus they see a conflict of interest.

“In the future, all acts of acceptance of the services provided by this company were agreed by Ponurov and approved by Malyshev. After that, Ponurov signed the presented accounts for payment. Thus, in the period from February to July 2009, the corporation funds for a total of more than 220 million rubles were unreasonably spent, ”the investigators insist. Ponurov is currently in the pre -trial detention center.

Rusnano, in turn, property that the contract with Alemar was fulfilled completely, and its results were “used in the work of the corporation and in the interests of the state”. Chubais’s lawyer emphasized that the company has no doubt about the innocence of Leonid Melamed and Svyatoslav Ponurov. There was no conflict of interests, they are sure of Rusnano: the contract with Alemar was concluded after Leonid Melamed left Rusnano, and all such transactions were controlled by the highest authorities.

RBC sources associate a new attack on Anatoly Chubais and his employees with the fact that he participated in television debates with Alexei Navalny. The latter , as a number of media reported, acquired the status of someone who cannot be called - in any case, large officials.
