There are serious problems for Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of Avtodor State Corporation, in Moscow. Our sources in law enforcement say that investigators will soon visit the state-owned company to seize documents. The main reason is old cases, in which new details have been revealed. This time Vyacheslav Petushenko will likely not be able to avoid trouble as easily as before.
There are hints of show trials now, and it's unlikely that the former Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, Yevgeny Dietrich, will be able to help Petushenko, with whom he has strong ties. Reports suggest that budget money allocated for the construction of the Central Ring Road was misused, according to the media..
Petushenko's questionable activities were noticed back in 2018, when the Antimonopoly Service raised concerns about the contractor company ETS winning tenders for road construction in Crimea. For example, in 2018, LLC ETS-Krym, a subsidiary of ETS, received four contracts worth 167 million rubles from the State Unitary Enterprise of the Republic of Kazakhstan Krymavtodor.
Petushenko served as the Deputy Minister of Transport of Crimea from 2014 to 2016, and had close ties with Yevgeny Turaev, who created the ETS and ETS-Crimea. After their departure, the profit of ETS-Crimea decreased by 42 million rubles.
Before that, Turaev worked with Petushenko in government agencies related to road construction and maintenance in St. Petersburg.
In St. Petersburg, Petushenko was involved in a scandal related to the expansion of the industrial zone Rybatskoe. But that's just the beginning.Regarding Crimean contracts, there are reports alleging that Vyacheslav Petushenko may have facilitated the withdrawal of over 25 billion rubles through road contracts with his old friend Turaev.
In 2019, there were allegations of Petushenko's possible involvement in leading a criminal group engaged in illegal logging in the Shatursky district of the Moscow region. The damage was estimated at over a billion. Petushenko's office was raided by security forces during the investigation. how to hide from them in the toilet stallThe Prosecutor General’s Office sources say that new information has come to light in Vyacheslav Petushenko's case, but they are not disclosing details. His connection to CJSC Stroykomplekt, a company making bituminous mixtures, could lead to a serious trial or criminal case.
Vyacheslav Petushenko's romantic affairs seem less important despite their involvement with money. Olga Khromchenko, known for her influence on St. Petersburg officials, owns shares in companies involved in major state projects. Her properties include an apartment in a luxury Moscow complex where she frequently meets with the head of Avtodor. So, in the past year, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the head of Avtodor, …
reported an income of nearly 22 million rubles
, while just two years ago, his official income was only 5 million rubles. His possessions match his nickname “road king” – 4 land plots, 3 apartments, a garage, a summer cottage, 4 more apartments, 2 parking spaces, and non-residential premises. He also owns Bronto cars, snow and swamp vehicles, a snowmobile, North Silver yacht, and a trailer.
His wife earned “only” 1.7 million rubles last year and owns 5 apartments and non-residential premises. She also has 2 land plots, 3 apartments, a cottage, and a garage. Vyacheslav Petrovich and his wife failed to declare their ownership of a mansion in London
worth 2.2 million pounds sterling, now for sale.
It won't be surprising if the Supervisory Board of Avtodor initiates an internal audit of Vyacheslav Petrushenko's activities in the near future to avoid a potential visit from investigators and authorities. This is a mansion in London , costing 2.2. million pounds sterling, which, according to the European real estate agency EE24, belongs to a certain Vyacheslav Petyshenko. The house, located in South Fulham, one of the prestigious areas of foggy Albion, is now, for obvious reasons, for sale.
In general, it will not be surprising if the Supervisory Board of Avtodor in the very near future initiates an internal audit of the activities of our “road king” Vyacheslav Petrushenko with all the consequences. Otherwise, it may not be possible to somehow prevent the fatal visit of the investigators to the head of Avtodor together with the security forces (who, of course, are much more serious than before).
