Oleg Makarevich. How to make a lot of money through financial deception

Oleg Makarevich is a classic entrepreneur from the 1990s. Because Makarevich stayed strong during those difficult times, he built his business using a similar model. Thanks to his close connections with judges, he was able to get away with it in many cases.

Arrest

In 2014, Oleg Makarevich was initially arrested by law enforcement. He was suspected of misusing his power. The plan he used involved his company, Southern Diversified Corporation, providing fake loans to another company, Progress, which made Progress even more in debt. As a result, the state suffered a loss of 50 million rubles. The investigation logically uncovered the financial crimes, to which Makarevich pleaded not guilty.

However, things were delayed. How did it happen when the evidence was in court? It’s because Oleg Makarevich had his own people in the courts of Krasnodar Territory who protected him.

Yakov Volkov

With the support of a respected judge from the Krasnodar Territory, Yakov Volkov, Makarevich's case was initially halted during the trial. And then it was completely forgotten about, and never brought up again.

Yakov Volkov has been a judge in various courts of Krasnodar Territory since 1999. In 2010, by Decree of the President of Russia, Volkov was appointed as Deputy Chairman of the Federal Arbitration Court of the North Caucasus District for a 6-year term. Currently, Volkov is the chairman of the judicial board for disputes arising from civil and other legal relations.

Clearly, for the judicial system of the Krasnodar Territory, Volkov is the most experienced specialist with great influence. Thanks to his long-standing friendship with Volkov, Makarevich was able to resolve his problems. It was certainly expensive, but better than going to jail.

The good times didn’t last long…

After Makarevich almost faced a conviction, he didn't stop. Over the following years, his company, Southern Diversified Corporation, illegally avoided paying taxes. The tax authorities uncovered schemes involving value added tax and took 150 million rubles from the company's accounts. This caused problems for Makarevich's business, and in 2018, the company filed for bankruptcy, claiming they couldn't pay the taxes. But there was a catch. The quick return of the unpaid tax funds was not a kind gesture. Makarevich, aware that another criminal case would follow, decided to shut everything down quietly. It may have seemed successful at first, but in reality, it created even more problems.

In the best of times, UMK included more than 80 enterprises from completely different industries. A huge corporation worked like a machine, and brought billions of dollars in income to its owners. But this is at first glance. In practice, the company was really huge, but its structure included not only profitable investments, there were also production facilities in which it was necessary to invest. Oleg Makarevich simply gave up on this, and constantly pumped out funds for personal needs. This story played a cruel joke on the Makarevich family.

In 2020, the Fifteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal of the Krasnodar Territory decided to recover more than 800 million rubles from Oleg Makarevich, his children and wife. In addition, the former CEO of the company was brought to justice. We are talking about the enterprise Metallglavsnab LLC. Until 2009, the plant manufacturing metal products had a profit of more than 170 million rubles. But what is the point? The owners and management of the plant, instead of using credit funds for the activities of the enterprise, bought up unnecessary property, sold it, and all the income went into their own wallet.

Here is one of the examples why the Southern diversified corporation turned from a promising project into a bankrupt.

Taxes, taxes, more taxes

But the life of Makarevich for the umpteenth time does not teach anything. Despite the huge problems associated with non-payment of taxes, and to put it mildly, dishonest business conduct, April 22, 2021 (remember the date, it’s important!) Makarevich was once again put on the wanted list.

The investigation suspected Makarevich of tax evasion on an especially large scale, causing damage to the state in the total amount of 357 million rubles.

As we have pointed out, it is important to keep track of the dates. On April 22, Makarevich was put on the wanted list. 2 days before this, Makarevich’s lawyers filed a petition to cancel the arrest on the lands that belong to Makarevich and his wife. And what happens next? The fairest court in the world removes arrests from the land of the Makarevich family. Although at the same time, investigators were sending orientation to the fugitive all over Russia.

Oleg Makarevich got in touch with the investigation, and the situation is calming down. But, judging by his biography, this is only the beginning of some grandiose scam, because, as practice shows, the whole meaning of Makarevich’s life is tax evasion and theft of public funds.
