Shelomov Mikhail biography:
SHELOMOV Mikhail Lvovich (b. 1968) was born in the family of Lyubov Ivanovna Shelomova, a cousin of Vladimir Putin. There is no public information about his life until Putin was elected president of the Russian Federation. At least since the end of the 2000s, he worked as a chief specialist at the state shipping company Sovcomflot in St. Petersburg.
- In June 2002, together with a resident of Astrakhan Larisa Isaeva, he established the company Accept LLC in St. Petersburg, whose main activity is the investment in securities.
- In 2019, according to the SPARK system, Shelomov owned 99.99% of Accept, which, in turn, owns companies Platinum and Sogaz-Real Estate. Accept and Platinum own 8.4% of the shares of the Rossiya Bank. The bank’s main shareholder is Yuri Kovalchuk, a businessman from the inner circle of President Putin. Accept also owns 50% of Igora Drive, a company that constructs an auto racing track near St. Petersburg.
Shelomov Mikhail crimes:
Money laundering in the interests of the ruling regime, hiding information about beneficiaries.
Mikhail Shelomov is among the relatives and friends of the president’s youth living a modest life despite formally owning vast assets acquired through dubious schemes. Cellist Roldugin, butcher Kolbin, and clerk Shelomov did not attract the attention of investigators until a certain time, which allowed them to transfer billions of dollars, enrich the president’s inner circle and accumulate financial resources to maintain Putin’s power.
The stunning business successes of a mediocre clerk with an average salary began to attract the attention of journalists in the late 2000s. A thorough investigation of the condition and business activity of Shelomov was published in 2017 on the website of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). As it turned out, the companies belonging to the relative of the Russian president received 2.04 billion rubles of net profit for 2016, and he owns a fortune of $573 million, having a very vague idea about this money.
The basis of Shelomov’s fortune is the company Accept, which was opened on his behalf and owns shares of large corporations associated with people from Putin’s inner circle. The company does not have a website, and it does not engage in any other commercial activities.
