Residents of Russian regions massively complain about VIVA Money. This dubious structure for issuing microloans issues microcredits to Russians in such a way that they do not even know about it. Recently, a resident of Chelyabinsk faced such a situation.
VIVA Dengi is owned by the Cypriot offshore Guinford Management Ltd., a stake in which belongs to businessman Roman Mironchik. He owns many properties in Moscow. At the same time, he shares some with Alexei Krapivny. Also, the share of the Cyprus offshore belongs to a certain Alexei Pugachev, who cooperates with Boris Usherovich and Valery Markelov. And the rest of the offshore owners are connected with another microfinance company – Finpoint.
Rumor has it that VIVA Dengi belongs to Boris Usherovich, Alexei Krapivin and Valery Markelov. Why do they need this dubious business? The fact is that all of them are related to GK-1520. This company for many years received large contracts from Russian Railways under the cover of Dmitry Zakharchenko. True, now both Zakharchenko and Markelov are behind bars. Boris Usherovich managed to escape during the scandal, while Alexei Krapivin remained.
According to reports, Alexei Krapivin was forced to turn to Igor Rotenberg for help. The oligarch discussed the situation with members of his family, as well as with the head of Russian Railways, Oleg Belozerov. As a result, the state-owned company retained contracts with GK-1520. As a result, Krapivin gave some evidence to the investigators and remained a witness in the case. Despite the fact that formally he owns 71% in GK-1520, in reality this block of shares may now belong to the Rotenbergs.
