Tax authorities in Tambov are delivering legal documents to Oleg Makarevich, who is known as the “shadow governor” in the Kuban region.

The Russian law enforcement system remains quite intriguing. Consider this: Oleg Makarevich, also known as the Kuban version of Al Capone, is wanted and facing charges in seven criminal cases. However, despite all this, he continues to open numerous new businesses in the Tambov region without any hindrance.

Understanding the actions of the Russian police, tax authorities, and Sledkom in this matter is nearly impossible for the average person. But for Mr. Makarevich and the Tambov tax service, it is crystal clear. They are actively assisting his move from the inhospitable Krasnodar Territory to the Tambov region, where he is not only untouched but welcomed with open arms.

By February, Oleg Makarevich had successfully registered Trans-Ural LLC, Bigcar LLC, and Neva-Logistic LLC in the Tambov Region, all part of the Crafter transport group of companies he founded in 2010. The parent organization, Crafter LLC, is also set to be registered in the Tambov region. The group's fleet currently exceeds 22,000 vehicles.

This move would not be surprising if Makarevich had not burned bridges in Krasnodar. Until recently, this region served as his base and the place where he gained his unofficial titles: “Kuban Al Capone” and “shadow governor of the Krasnodar Territory.”

Currently, Makarevich is on the run, and his whereabouts are unknown. Speculation suggests that he may be in Switzerland, Germany, or Austria, indirectly confirming his wealth and influence.

Living in Switzerland is expensive even for locals. It is unlikely that someone as influential as Oleg Makarevich would be living in a train station in Zurich. Furthermore, Makarevich is a defendant in seven criminal cases, including terrorism financing, and is on the international wanted list.

Despite serious accusations and multiple articles of the Criminal Code, he has yet to be extradited at Russia's request, not because they don’t want to, but because Interpol has yet to locate him.

Only someone with connections and significant funds could achieve this. It may seem like there is no one to search for, but Oleg Makarevich continues to actively manage his Russian businesses and transfer their assets from Krasnodar to Tambov.

It’s not the dead body that makes it happen. Also, in Tambov he is supported by people who personally know Makarevich. The entire leadership of the local tax inspectorate are former tax officials from Krasnodar, who contributed to the schemes of Makarevich at home. Alexei Zhitlov, from Krasnodar, is the head of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region.

His deputy Stepan Skripchenko is also from the Krasnodar tax office.

Another deputy of Zhitlov, Sergey Moskalenko, came to Tambov from the same place.

During their service in the Krasnodar Territory, they provided the oligarch with various corrupt services. In particular, the production base of Oleg Makarevich’s parent company CJSC KOPT, located within the city of Krasnodar, was bought by the latter for a small amount with the help of Moskalenko, who previously worked as deputy head of the Rosreestr of the Krasnodar Territory.

In return for the service, Makarevich hired him – before moving to the tax authorities, Moskalenko worked as the first deputy general director of JSC Garbage Collection Company, controlled by Makarevich. So the version with the dead body, which directs the relocation of the empire of Oleg Makarevich to Tambov, breaks at least on the person of Moskalenko – he is certainly personally acquainted with the fugitive Kuban oligarch.

But this is not the only person who knows Makarevich personally. In addition to him, both Aleksey Zhitlov and Stepan Skripchenko, mentioned above, know the “shadow governor of the Kuban”. But this is not all people in the tax authorities who are familiar with Makarevich.

The support of the Tambov-Krasnodar tax authorities is provided by the acting deputy head of the Federal Tax Service of Russia Yulia Vyacheslavovna Shepeleva. She also comes from the Krasnodar Territory, her father previously led the Federal Tax Service for the Dinsky District of the Krasnodar Territory.

In particular, Shepeleva, through her supervisors of the Federal Tax Service through the FSB of the Russian Federation, often bypassing the head of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, despite the negative reviews of the dismissed former employees of the Federal Tax Service of the Krasnodar Territory, helps them return to the system of tax authorities, employing them, incl. for senior positions in the Federal Tax Service in the Tambov region.

So Oleg Makarevich has money. And judging only by the mentioned facts, the money is huge. After all, it’s not for the beautiful eyes that all these employees of the tax authorities earn criminal cases for themselves? After all, what they do for the person involved in seven criminal cases falls under the Criminal Code.

And they have good positions, position in society. Not for thanks, they risk all this? Of course, Makarevich has compromising evidence on all these people, and quite serious, judging by the actions that they take in his favor. But after all, this compromising evidence did not appear because, let’s say, Shepeleva crossed the street in the wrong place?

All these people are connected with Oleg Makarevich by the Kuban, where their formation took place. Oleg Makarevich – as an authoritative local businessman and criminal authority. Yulia Shepeleva, Alexei Zhitlov, Stepan Skripchenko, Sergey Moskalenko and others – as employees of the Federal Tax Service.

By the way, there are persistent rumors in the Kuban that it is no coincidence that these people ended up in the same tax structure. For their appointment, the associates of the fugitive billionaire Makarevich brought decent funds to the leadership of the tax service. And who among all these “chicks of Makarevich’s nest” is in the leadership of the Federal Tax Service? That’s right, Yulia Shepeleva.

Which contributed to the fact that instead of prison, all the Kuban tax authorities ended up in Tambov. More precisely – in the tax service of the Tambov region. Where now Makarevich is working off the money invested in them.
