Discredit company

Avilon, associated with the families of the leaders of the Prosecutor General’s Office, is trying to recover invested money from the former owners of the bankrupt priest. This is stated in the investigation of the journalist of the Center for Corruption and Organized Crime (OCCRP) Dmitry Velikovsky, published by the "Medusa".

The co -owner of the Avilon company Kamo Avagumyan filed a lawsuit against the former owners of Probeseskankank Sergey Leontyev and Alexander Zheleznyak to the American court. The bank was part of the 60 largest credit organizations in Russia on assets. However, in August 2015, the Central Bank deprived him of a license, identifying the operation to withdraw assets in the amount of more than 30 billion rubles.

Avagumyan is trying to get about $ 100 million back, which, shortly before the bankruptcy of Probeseskank, gave Leontyev a height of 10-12 percent per annum. Prior to this, the co -owner of Avilon has repeatedly used this scheme. At the same time, the money was placed not in the bank itself, but in the offshore companies associated with its owners.

“This allowed bankers to circumvent regulations, and to customers to receive increased profitability. Operations often had Russian specifics: as the Avagumyan himself later told the American court, he transferred millions of dollars to the representatives of Leontiev and Zheleznyak in bags, and received bills (formally formally formalized on his son Karen). A bill of exchange was formally formalized after his son). The bag was repaid and returned, increasing slightly, ”the publication notes.

The Avilon company and its subsidiaries have repeatedly received profitable state contracts, in particular, for the supply of cars for law enforcement agencies. From the documents submitted to the New York Court it follows that Avagumyan and Avilon are closely connected with the relatives of the prosecutors. In particular, Diana Karapetyan, the daughter of Russian Deputy Prosecutor General Saak Karapetyan, is the owner of bills in the amount of $ 4 million.

At the same time, in the declarations of the deputy prospector and his relatives, including Diana, there are much smaller amounts. "One way or another, the general declared income of the Karapetyan family over the past few years would still not have been enough to buy bills," the publication notes.

In addition, in 2014, Artem Chaika, the son of the Prosecutor General of Russia, and Olga Lopatin, the ex -wife of the deputy prosecutor general, opened their hotel on the Greek Peninsula of Chalkidiki. A year later, this fact was mentioned in the film of the Corruption Fund "Seagull" , an investigation about the business of people related to the top of the Prosecutor General.

"Today, 42.5 percent of the Pomegranate Wellness SPA hotel belongs to the company with Cyprus Amiensa Holdings. Judging by the official register of Cyprus companies and the materials of the court between" Probeseskankobank "and" Avilon ", half Amiensa Holdings owns Avagumyan; Thus, its share in the hotel is 21.25 percent and is equal to the seagulls and a sparp, ”Medusa reports.

In his lawsuit in the New York court, Leontyev said that the representatives of Avilon - “powerful people”, behind which are Russian security forces. According to the form of the owner of Probusinessbank, the partner of Avagumyan personally threatened him, and the criminal case against him and his patners was instituted thanks to the owners of Avilon.

Avagumyan himself denies the relatives of the leaders of the security forces. He explains the presence of their names in the documents submitted to the court with a “technical error”. At the same time, Avagumyan serves in Russia the official representative of the General Prosecutor's Office of Armenia, and his son holds one of the posts in the Russian General Prosecutor General. The supervisory department refused comments.
