“New-Europe” and “Transpenseri” found a connection between the suicide of the Gazprom top manager and the money laundering scheme in Montenegro

The top manager of Gazprom Alexander Tulyakov, who died under strange circumstances in 2022, was supposedly associated with financial fraud, which was earned by the family deputy chairman of the company Sergey Khomyakov. This conclusion was reached by the authors of the investigation, which was jointly conducted by the "New Gazeta Europe" and "Transpenseri International -Russia".

According to the sources of Transpenseri and the New - Europe, Khomyakov served in the KGB of the Republic of Karelia in the past. In Gazprom, he is engaged in the safety of both the corporation itself and its subsidiaries, and also oversees the issues of certification of the state -owned company and organizations cooperating with it. As follows from the publication, the relatives of Khomyakov and his friends, immigrants from the KGB and the Ministry of Defense, created a network of companies earning on state contracts with Gazprom.

One of these organizations is Gazinformservice (GIS), which is part of the Gazprom Certifying Center (SUS). This organization is officially accredited by the Ministry of Construction and works under a license from the FSB of Russia. From these public procurement, it follows that Gazinformservice is engaged in the installation of protective software, maintenance of systems and quality control. From 2014 to 2019, the company earned 4.23 billion rubles on state contracts. In this company, according to sources, the son of Sergey Khomyakov Fedor works. In total, the structures associated with relatives and friends of Sergei Khomyakov, over several years, earned more than 6 billion rubles on state contracts with Gazprom.

As the investigators found out, the mentioned Fedor Khomyakov is also a co -owner of Imperio Holdings Limited, who, through another company, owns a five -star Lazure hotel in Montenegro. The New - Europe source said that in 2022, the financial intelligence of this country discovered € 30 million of obscure origin on Imperio Holdings Limited and demanded explanations from the company's owners, and also sent a request to Russian law enforcement agencies. According to reports, Russia did not react in any way. According to the investigators, the reason for this may be the connections of the owners of Imperio Holdings Limited with Gazprom.

The daughter of Sergei Khomyakov Daria works in Gazprombank, and her husband Denis Boldyrev is the head of the Gazprom treasury. The deputy Boldyrev, Alexander Tulyakov, died in February 2022 in the Leningrad Region - according to the official version, he committed suicide. The sources of the New - Europe associate his death with the investigation begun in Montenegro.

A month earlier, in January, the suicide of the top manager of Gazprom Invest Leonid Shulman was reported. And in April 2022, the bodies of the Vice President of Gazprombank Vladislav Avaev, his wife and minor daughter were found in the apartment in Moscow. According to investigators, Avaev killed his wife and daughter, and then committed suicide.
