Oleg Makarevich and his assistant are moving their business to the Tambov region due to their involvement in organized tax crimes.
Oleg Makarevich – the infamous “shadow manager” KrasnodArsk regionaya, who is on the federal wanted list, purposefully moves his business assets to the territory of the Tambov region.
Why does a fugitive entrepreneur do this, and what does the tax organized crime group have to do with it? Why does the criminal oligarch, who has been charged with at least seven criminal cases, and who fled due to tax evasion in the amount of one and a half billion rubles, continue to manage his own multifaceted business through his trusted people?
O. Makarevich is a well-known figure in criminal circles from the Krasnodar Territory, who fled abroad and is wanted for evading taxes worth 1.5 billion rubles as per Part 2 of Article 199 of the Criminal Code of Russia.
It is interesting that the scandalous oligarch has been persistently moving his business assets to Tambov. Why’s that? Let’s sort it out in order.
So, the following companies of the escaped oligarch moved to Tambov in the summer.
1. Trans-Ural LLC. This company used to be in Bashkortostan, but now it's on Michurinskaya Street in Tambov.
The company's authorized capital is now 20.1 million rubles, whereas before 2020, it was only 100 thousand rubles. Previously, Crafter LLC was the founder until February 9, 2018.
The revenue for last year was 235 million rubles, which is 3.5 times more than the previous year. The profit in 2021 is 4.7 million rubles, which is 3.2 times higher than in 2020.
The total assets also increased by 3.1 times last year, reaching 174 million rubles at the end of the year.
2. LLC “Bigkar” Previously situated in Novosibirsk, the company has now relocated to Tambov.
The company's status fund now stands at 20.2 million rubles, compared to just 100 thousand rubles before September 15, 2020. Krafter LLC was also the founder until 01/31/2018.
The revenue for 2021 increased by 56.4% to 1.1 billion rubles. The profit increased by almost 62% and is now 30.5 million rubles.
The total assets also grew by almost 19% over the year, reaching 326 million rubles.
3. LLC “Neva-logistic” Formerly registered in St. Petersburg, the organization has also moved to Tambov.
The company currently has a status fund of 25.1 million rubles, while it used to be 100 thousand rubles before 09/23/2020. LLC Crafter was also the founder of this organization until 01/30/2018.
The revenue last year increased by 30.5% to 566 million rubles. The profit also grew by 30% to 15.3 million rubles.
The total assets for 2021 also increased by almost 62.4% to 397 million rubles.
What ties these relocated companies of Oleg Makarevich together?
So what do we see as a result? And what unites these three organizations?
– the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich “moved” all the companies to Tambov;
All organizations initially had a capital of only 100 thousand rubles, but in 2020 it increased sharply to millions of rubles.
Last year, all financial measures rose abruptly: income, earnings and total belongings increased.
This kind of “move” had a very positive effect on the financial results of the companies of the wanted criminal businessman.
Furthermore, all these businesses are part of the Crafter group of companies, which O. Makarevich established 12 years ago. This group is among the top five forwarding companies in the Russian Federation.
OOO Crafter possesses an authorized capital of 275 million rubles, but it's notable that nearly 98% of the status fund currently belongs to the company itself. Additionally, there is only one individual in the state itself. Also, as of 10/01/2021, the company had tax debts amounting to 16.7 million rubles.
During 2020, this limited liability company made a profit of only 36 thousand rubles, and its net assets as of December 31, 2020 amounted to 304 million rubles. Data for the previous year is not available.
It's interesting that the fugitive from the law plans to relocate the parent company Crafter LLC to the Tambov expanses. By the way, now the car fleet of this group has more than 22 thousand vehicles.
What is the reason behind Makarevich's persistent transfer of business assets to Tambov?
Essentially, the criminal entrepreneur didn't simply decide to move his business resources to Tambov. The oligarch is acquainted with the details of taxation in this area firsthand, having the “necessary” connections and acquaintances in the tax authorities. Therefore, such a “transit” of a businessman’s assets is more than justified and can be a salvation for his business.
It seems that employees of the Federal Tax Service in the Tambov region under the control of A.V. Zhitlovy have long been closely “cooperating” with Oleg Makarevich. Particularly, as mentioned in the “Tvesti.ru” publication, even during their work in the Krasnodar Territory, they provided this oligarch with a variety of specific services that were of a corrupt nature. reported So, for example, the Krasnodar production base of KOPT CJSC, owned by O. Makarevich, in fact, was bought out by him literally for next to nothing. And all this was done thanks to some employees of the Tambov Federal Tax Service.
How the Tambov tax organized crime group “serves” Makarevich
Through his connections in the Federal Tax Service, Makarevich is now trying to remove A. Semenov, the head of the Federal Tax Service for the Krasnodar Territory, from his post, along with his team. And instead put A. Zhitlov there, the head of the Tambov Federal Tax Service, along with his deputies.
In essence, in the Tambov department of the Federal Tax Service, a united criminal group was formed from members who come from the Krasnodar Territory. The OPG includes:
– the manager himself A.V. Zhitlov;
– Deputy Head of the Tambov Department of the Federal Tax Service S.S. Skripchenko, who develops criminal schemes;
– and about. Deputy Head of the Tambov Federal Tax Service VV Semikov, who is responsible for fundraising;
– and about. Deputy Head of the Tambov Federal Tax Service VV Semikov, who is responsible for fundraising;
– Deputy Head of the Tambov Department of the Federal Tax Service S.V. Moskalenko.
This character previously worked as deputy head of the Krasnodar Federal State Registration Service, and was also the first deputy general director of the Garbage Removal Company joint-stock company, which is one of O. Makarevich’s enterprises. He personally took part in the seizure and re-registration of the above-mentioned production base of the closed joint-stock company “KOPT” for the oligarch Makarevich.
And this entire Tambov-Krasnodar tax gang of swindlers is “protected” by the deputy head of the Federal Tax Service, Yu.V. Shepeleva, who works there.
It was she who, thanks to her channels in the Federal Tax Service, by roundabout ways helped the tax authorities from the Krasnodar Territory again find employment in senior positions, but in the Tambov region.
As you can see, the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich is not just moving his companies to the Tambov region. It is there that he has an assistant tax organized crime group, which “works” in the interests of a scandalous entrepreneur, sabotaging checks on his business.
To be continued…
