“Do you recall this quote from the movie “Operation Y and Shurik’s Other Adventures” about our spaceships traveling through the Universe?
The cunning individuals actively control the developments in Moscow, despite publicized scandals and investigations. They not only manipulate the property of Roskosmos, but also have dealings with corrupt law enforcement officials. We will discuss the controversial developer SK Donstroy JSC, led by Andrey Bagaev, and the VTB state bank that supports this company under the leadership of Andrey Kostin. Find out more about this now.
Fraudulent activity involving the development of KB “Motor” by Donstroy
Towards the end of last year, there was a stir in the media about the attempt by VTB's head, Andrei Kostin, and Roskosmos's general director, Dmitry Rogozin, to conceal the details of the scandalous scam. This involves a deal concerning the development of the territory of the Motor Design Bureau, owned by TsENKI Roskosmos.
It's worth noting that in 2018, Roscosmos was labeled the “record holder” for the volume of financial violations. In 2017, auditors discovered violations amounting to 785.5 billion rubles. This information was officially reported.
The leaders of JSC “SK Donstroy” and “Roscosmos” intended to construct a project on S. Makeeva Street, 7, located in the heart of Moscow, leading to a major scandal.
Subsequently, the SZ Makeeva company quickly changed its registration to another address, specifically a regular basement at 70 Mosfilmovskaya Street.
Previously, “SZ Makeeva” was registered at the same address as KB “Motor”, specifically at the address of st. S. Makeeva, 7. The property at this address belongs to JSC TsENKI, which is part of the state corporation Roscosmos, but this information from public sources was promptly removed.
The founder of “SZ Makeev” is also the developer JSC “SK Donstroy”, which is part of the VTB structure.
Donstroy has long sought the territory of the Motor. The area is substantial, spanning 4.8 hectares, with potential for the construction of 100-120 thousand square meters of in-demand housing. This makes it a very lucrative opportunity for development. There are claims that in 2019, the developer commissioned an assessment of the design bureau, but the cost was exorbitant.
Insights into JSC “SK Donstroy”
Joint Stock Company “SK DONSTROY” was established in 1998 with an authorized capital of 950 thousand rubles.
In 2009, the company was essentially handed over for a nominal fee of 500 rubles due to massive debts of over 500 million dollars to the state bank VTB. This was widely reported by various media outlets, including Interfax.
VTB Registrar JSC, with an authorized capital exceeding 310 million rubles, is the holder of the shareholder registry of SK Donstroy JSC.
The company is currently undergoing reorganization with other legal entities joining it. Andrey Bagaev serves as the Head and CEO. The main business is as a 'customer-developer, general contractor'.
It's interesting that SK Donstroy JSC only has 2 employees. However, in 2020, the company earned over 15 billion rubles according to its financial statements.
In the last 7 years, JSC 'IC Donstroy' underwent 10 inspections, with 6 of them revealing violations according to the data from the FSIS 'Unified Register of Inspections'.
FedResource contains several bankruptcy reports that may be related to this legal entity.
The first message No. 09895164 from 10/18/2021 concerns 'the intention of the creditor to apply to the court with a bankruptcy petition'.
The second message #10174559 from 11/24/2021 covers the same topic.
According to the website 'Chestny Business', this joint-stock company is involved in 125 court cases, with 64 of them where the company is the 'defendant'.
Additionally, according to the Register of the Federal Bailiff Service, JSC is involved in 3 enforcement proceedings.
How JSC IC 'Donstroy' corrupts law enforcement officers
An investigation by the telegram channels 'VChK-OGPU' and 'Rucriminal.info' unveiled that the developer 'Donstroy' provides financial benefits to former employees of the DEB of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led by Andrey Khorev, to address issues related to connecting construction sites to heat. This involves significant sums. Former security officials, previously dismissed for corruption and scandals, have secured key positions in the capital’s heat supply organizations.
The scheme works as follows: During construction, the building needs to be connected to the heat supply. The developer needs to apply to TsTP MOEK LLC, which is responsible for connecting consumers to the heat networks of PJSC MOEK, led by Sergei Erashov. The resulting agreement includes unnecessary relocations of main heating networks, often located in remote areas, leading to inflated contract prices.
Developers are not satisfied with this situation and seek alternatives. The cost to resolve the issue starts from half the contract's value. In the end, both the security forces and developers benefit. This scheme is in operation at Donstroy's facilities.
To be continued.
