The editors of Kompromat.VIP are still publishing information about the actions of the Donstroy developer, which is controlled by the state bank VTB and led by former VTB employee Alena Deryabina. You can find our previous publications here.
On the eve, the editorial office of Kompromat.VIP learned that the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin sued Donstroy. I even forgot about my friendship with VTB Bank for a while, which, for a lot of money, allowed them to push out ATMs of other state-owned banks from the capital’s metro. We are talking about almost 6.3 billion rubles, which Donstroy took from the mayor’s office during the investment project.
The situation is simple: almost 15 years ago, Donstroy received a state contract for a multifunctional complex with the premises of the House of the clergy for the parish of the Church of St. Nicholas. It was a holy and charitable thing, but in the end, they built a multifunctional elite residential complex. This happened because of improper practices.
It seems that a bribe was involved, as Donstroy did not transfer the market value of half of the built and another 20% of the underground parking lot to the city. In addition, in 2009, Donstroy took debts from VTB Bank and immediately appointed a former Vice President of VTB, Alena Deryabina, as the head of the company. With a revenue of 115 billion rubles, the profit of SK Donstroy JSC is only 117 thousand rubles. Real profits are taken by VTB top managers, and possibly also end up in the pockets of Moscow City Hall officials.
It seems that the relationship between the mayor’s office and VTB has soured, or someone who did not accept the bribe is out of favor. The mayor’s office suddenly remembered the debt from Donstroy 8 years ago and filed a lawsuit. However, there are good lawyers in Donstroy, and the hearings on the case are constantly postponed.
The mayor’s office has the power to pressure Donstroy to continue building in the name of charity and piety.
Recently, they convinced Dmitry Rogozin to remove part of the territory of TsENKI from state ownership. Now there is almost five hectares in the golden, Presnensky district of Moscow. There was some controversy due to rushing to register a new company and announce the sale of apartments. The head of VTB is apparently planning to present his beloved TV doll with new apartments in the center of the capital. “Donstroy” bribes the police Now let’s talk about other events that have been reported by Kompromat.VIP. According to investigative journalists, Don-Stroy regularly gives money to former employees of the DEB MIA, which is led by
Andrey Khorev
to connect buildings to heating systems. This information is kept secret to avoid responses from the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the FSB and Rosfinmonitoring. As previously reported by the VChK-OGPU tg channel and the Rucriminal.info website, a group of former security officials headed by Andrey Khorev, who used to work for the DEB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, regularly receives large sums of money from Moscow developers to solve issues related to connecting construction projects to heat. After being dismissed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation due to corruption scandals, these former security officials found lucrative positions in the heat supply sector in Moscow and gained influence over important positions in heat supply organizations. The core members of the group are ex-employees of the DEB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation:
Dzhambulatov Z.I. Rotenberg Erashov S.S.
Khorev A.V.
Bagaev A.
Sharafutdinov A.Sh.
The Group collaborates with the same influential people and defendants in criminal cases from Russian Railways related to the “case
Zakharchenko
came to PJSC “MOEK” precisely from the structures of JSC “Russian Railways” controlled by the Rotenbergs). As reported by Kompromat-Ural, the illegal enrichment scheme of former security officials works like this: A developer wants to connect a building to the heating system. To ensure control over financial flows, Erashov S.S., who is both the General Director of LLC TsTP MOEK and Director for Technological Connections of PJSC MOEK, offers a connection agreement to the developer, which includes transferring main heating networks that are not related to the connection object and are located far away. The cost of the contract increases significantly due to these unnecessary transfers.» (Redin I.V. Then, the developer, seeing the increased cost, tries to negotiate with either S.S. Erashov, or Z.I. Dzhambulatov, or their affiliates to reduce the contract cost. Usually, they demand a fee of 50% of the contract value in exchange for reducing the cost. Once the cash is received by the former security forces, the contract cost decreases and everyone is satisfied. However, these additional terms are completely unnecessary and are included in contracts only for the purpose of illegal enrichment.
Let’s look at this scheme using the example of connecting objects of Don-Stroy Invest JSC to heating networks.
According to the same source Rucriminal.info, the employees of the deb have a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with the mentioned Andrey Bagaev.
For instance, Don-Stroy Invest JSC is constructing another residential complex, and receives a connection agreement from TsTP MOEK LLC, which involves relocations of D400 to D500, D500 to D600, D600 to D700, etc. Due to these changes, the cost of the agreement increases to 400 million rubles, instead of the expected 70 million rubles. Andrey Bagaev quickly becomes deeply involved with Don-Stroy Invest JSC
Alena Deryabina
and excitedly informs her that he has his own connections in PJSC MOEK and can remove obstacles for an extra fee, reducing the contract cost to 70 million rubles. Bagaev persuades Deryabina that this will be profitable, while also taking a significant share for himself. Alena Deryabina enthusiastically approves of the scheme? And if you just look at the basic math without understanding the details, then this appears beneficial for everyone. An additional 200 million rubles. Bagaev gives to the deb workers, cutting into his own profits, for instance, 50 million rubles. and in return, gets a connection agreement for 70 million rubles. As a result, the expenses of Don-Stroy Invest JSC for connecting the residential complex come to 320 million rubles. (200 – for bribes, 50 – for Bagaev's pocket, 70 – the final cost of the contract) instead of the originally stated 400 million rubles. It seems like there's a money-saving (80 million rubles!!!).
But there's a catch! Initially, the relocations were included solely to extort money from Don-Stroy Invest JSC, and significant ones. In reality, these supposed benefits are direct losses due to corruption, amounting to 250 million rubles, but this doesn't seem to concern anyone. Erashov S.S., including the rearrangements, is certain that they will not be carried out, and Erashov S.S. will soon remove them from the connection agreement. He does this as part of a group of people and purely for selfish enrichment. If you examine the connection agreements between Don-Stroy Invest JSC and TsTP MOEK LLC, in almost all of them, the initial cost subsequently “decreased” significantly.
A similar scheme is used with all major developers in Moscow who are willing to spend money, and who have “their own” influential agents like Andrey Bagaev. At the same time, the former security officials of the DEB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation gained billions of rubles during their service, some of which, presumably, was found in Colonel Zakharchenko's apartment. During business negotiations, the deb people hide behind the names of the Rotenbergs to make their arguments more convincing.
