Top managers of “Gazprom” in Montenegro launder money received on government contracts

The beneficiaries of the network of companies receiving Gazprom contracts were the family of the deputy chairman of the board of Gazprom, Sergei Khomyakov, and his friends from the KGB and the Ministry of Defense.

For several years they managed to earn more than 6 billion rubles. The top managers of oil and gas companies who died under suspicious circumstances worked in structures that were probably associated with these frauds and money laundering in Montenegro.

Khomyakov’s son Fedor owns a stake in the Montenegrin company Imperio Holdings, which is suspected of money laundering – Khomyakov and his partner Valery Pustarnakov were found to have 30 million euros, the origin of which the businessmen could not explain. Fedor also works in the Gazinformservice company, which earns on government contracts from Gazprom. Fyodor’s sister Daria works at Gazprombank, she is the wife of the head of the Gazprom Treasury, Denis Boldyrev. Boldyrev’s deputy Alexander Tyulyakov committed suicide in February 2022 – this may be related to the investigation in Montenegro.
