The MKS engineering company, which specializes in building energy facilities, is demanding tens of millions of rubles from Chelyabinsk oligarch deputy Konstantin Strukov from Yuzhuralzoloto.
What used to be a long-term partnership between organizations has turned into a series of legal cases. Despite citing unfair conditions, major losses from equipment failure, and high prices, the gold mining company has lost a significant portion of these legal battles. Currently, YuGK is attempting to challenge another equipment supply contract with the MKS group, while also battling large claims from the Federal Tax Service, facing billions in losses as part of a bankruptcy case, and dealing with labor disputes and legal proceedings with the MKS. At the same time, the company's counterparts are considering filing lawsuits for the bankruptcy of Yuzhuralzoloto.
JSC “Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies” (SGC) of the Vice-Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region Konstantin Strukov plans to appeal the recovery of more than 92 million against the company in favor of LLC “MKS Group of Companies”. Information about the appeal is in the arbitration cases file.
Earlier, the court approved the decision to recover 74 million in debts and more than 18 million rubles in penalties from YuGK, and recently enforcement proceedings for the corresponding amount appeared in the databases.

To clarify, a conflict has arisen over a general contractor agreement for 160 million rubles. Under the agreement, the MKS group of companies took on the responsibility to carry out a set of works at the facility “Energy complex based on the MWM TCG 2032V V16 CGU of block-modular design in the amount of 4 pieces of equipment located at the production site <…> Plastovsky municipal district, GOK “Svetlinsky” JSC “UGK”.
After completing work under the contract, the MKS did not receive full payment from the deputy’s company, leading the organization to take legal action. Yuzhuralzoloto also attempted to invalidate the general contract agreement, citing unfair conditions, but lost in court twice.
Konstantin Strukov’s company is now attempting to challenge another previous supply agreement with the same MKS Group LLC. An examination was appointed in the case, and the term was requested to be extended in December.
Meanwhile, under a supply agreement, SGC demanded more than 85 million rubles from Zagornov’s assets, due to losses associated with the failure of two K-250 compressors, resulting in lengthy production downtime and subsequent unstable operation due to lack of air in the mine.
“The plaintiff points out that in connection with the breakdown of the equipment, he suffered losses <…>, which are formed on the basis of: the cost of the K-250 compressor drive electric motor – 2.5 million; repair work performed by a contractor – 4.43 million; wages of workers “Central” (downtime due to lack of air) – 4.46 million, wages of employees of the Plastovskaya Mill (downtime) – 929.2 thousand; insurance premiums – 1.85 million; technological metal <…> – 14.77 million; technological metal, gr: ZIF Plastovskaya (not processed) – 41.9 million, ”followed from the explanations of the YuGK.
However, the courts did not agree with Yuzhuralzoloto’s position that MKS Group of Companies should bear responsibility for the incident, pointing, in particular, to decisions to recover money from the gold mining company itself under the contract.

We add that in addition to the writ of execution for 92 million, another noteworthy negative marker was recorded against the company – enforcement proceedings, the subject of which is the remuneration of employees.
In addition, Fedresurs published a message about the intention of the Moscow company Avtorsky Kamen LLC to file a lawsuit to declare bankrupt JSC Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies. As can be seen in the file of arbitration cases, earlier the organization managed to achieve a decision to recover 11 million rubles from the assets of the Chelyabinsk deputy.
However, in the near future the lawyers of the SGC will have to fight off much more significant demands. So, next week, a regular meeting should be held on the requirements of the Federal Tax Service to recover losses in the amount of 1.58 billion rubles from YuGK Management Company LLC, YuGK, as well as Strukov and other persons.
Recall that earlier Yuzhuralzoloto has already faced major claims from the Federal Tax Service. After a detailed study of the operations of the asset of Konstantin Strukov with the involvement of the FAS, the competent authorities of several countries and the Interpol branch, the fiscals came to the conclusion that a scheme had been created with the inclusion of nominal, controlled companies from Cyprus in the cash flow chain in order to obtain the right to preferential taxation. YuGK tried to challenge the claims in the courts, but could not defend its position.
