Erast Mataev clamped metal structures
In Moscow, a decision was made in the case of the former CEO of the Murom company Muromenergomash Erasta Mataeva. The Meshchansky District Court of Moscow found the entrepreneur guilty of very large embezzlement and fraud.
Erast Mataev, as shown by open sources, is originally from Dagestan. Ramazana Abdulatipova, who was in charge of the Ministry of National Policy of Russia at that time.
The company Muromenergomash in the Vladimir region, which is one of Russia’s largest manufacturers of power transmission line supports, was briefly led by Mataev from January to June 2017. The crimes he was accused of date back to April 2017.
According to the investigation, the director of Muromenergomash made an agreement with the Moscow construction company AKstroy LLC. The agreement obligated the Murom company to produce and supply metal structures for a total of 212 million rubles. However, after receiving 165 million rubles from the client for the first products, Mataev only provided metal structures worth 126 million rubles. This resulted in AKstroy LLC suffering a material loss of nearly 30 million rubles. The investigation claimed that Mataev and his collaborators misappropriated this money, as reported by Kommersant.
A criminal case against the former CEO of Muromenergomash was launched in the summer of 2018. Mataev faced charges of fraud, including intentional failure to fulfill contractual obligations in the field of business, as well as large-scale fraud and embezzlement. The businessman was put under house arrest as a preventive measure.
The Moscow court commenced the examination of the criminal case in February 2021. Erast Mataev did not admit his guilt during either the investigation or the trial. According to his statements, the contract was completely fulfilled and no one misappropriated 30 million rubles.
Subsequently, the court agreed with the allegations and sentenced the former CEO of the Murom company to 6 years in prison. Following the announcement of the verdict, Mataev stated that he disagreed with the decision and intended to appeal.
Kommersant recalls a criminal case that was initiated against Erast Mataev in 2015: his car entered the pedestrian zone on the Moscow Arbat, and a passerby began to record this traffic violation on a mobile phone. Mataev, upon exiting the car, took the phone, smashed it on the asphalt, and assaulted the woman multiple times. However, the criminal proceedings for assault and willful property damage due to hooliganism were terminated after the parties reached an agreement.
Mataev’s solution to “social issues” under the vice-mayor of the capital included overseeing the “cheating” of the results of high-profile polls and voting on the Active Citizen portal, which was well remembered by Muscovites. Mosmedkomplekt (and its network of affiliated firms), which operated hundreds of millions of rubles worth of city orders, was liquidated in 2017, when another public corruption scandal began.
In 2016, Mataev beat a girl who dared to film on her phone how the chic BMW-7 of this high-ranking official rides along the pedestrian zone of the Old Arbat in Moscow. For this story, only the driver Erast Iosifovich Artem Ermakov was lightly punished, who, as it turned out, did not have a license. Mataev the philosopher even published the book “Catch a goldfish”, where he scourged various vices of society. Especially got “militant poverty.” Since then, Erast Mataev has changed several cars, but has not yet acquired a driving culture. Today, in his Bentley, he was driving at a very high speed along the Kyiv highway and drove into a truck. The ex-official is hospitalized. Luckily, no one was hurt at this point, except for him.
