Andrei Ryabinskiy is once again offshore: traces lead to the collapsed Aldanzolotobank
Traces from another liquidator linked to Ryabinskiy, a big fan of offshore funds, led to Aldanzolotobank, which failed on the withdrawal of funds from Russia.
The unusual liquidation of Ryabinskiy’s Govorovo SK LLC reflected on the biography of another liquidator linked to the developer. Again – suspicious lending, offshore schemes and connection with Aldanzolotobank, which lost its license due to participation in dubious operations on withdrawal of funds abroad and in large transit operations of dubious nature.
Details of the story, where traces of US and offshore companies and Uralchem’s divisions were discovered.
It should be recalled that Ryabinsky did not leave the construction business after the sale of MIC to the “Airplane” division of Moscow Region Governor Vorobyov’s family. Having stamped clean firms in Mordovia at the address of the freshly bought apartment, he probably set his sights on Kursk budget billions. This is what drew public attention to the owner of the scandalously famous construction division, which had distinguished itself on contracts to supply housing to the Rosguard and orphaned children of Balashikha.
The developer’s rich web of connections leads both to narrow circles, the so-called Solntsevsky and a certain Mihas, and to the powers that be, reaching the family of Rostec head Sergei Chemezov and former relatives of Prime Minister Mishustin.
When analyzing Ryabinsky’s assets, UtroNews found numerous liquidators, and some of them revealed some very interesting oddities. For example, some firms managed to lend millions of rubles to related companies, and then both legal entities were liquidated, with foreign coffers also appearing among the participants in such transactions.
Especially noteworthy in this part is the story of LLC SK Govorovo, the developer of the Tatyanin Park housing estate. Before its liquidation, the firm made 1.7 billion rubles of net profit, but it was still put under the knife, and the money floated away into obscurity.
At the same time, later the same developer popped up in lending deals with other firms associated with Ryabinskiy, including the story of Czech investor Shtrunz.
And here again: the same IC appeared in the story of another one of Ryabinskiy’s assets, which looks even murkier.
So, in 2018, after bankruptcy proceedings, a certain Mits-Geosystems LLC, established in 2011 for the mining of non-ferrous metal ores, was liquidated.
The firm is notable for the fact that it was credited by the same LLC SK Govorovo and the debt the firm allegedly did not repay.
Mits-Geosystems LLC was eventually bankrupted, and the debt amounted to 17 million rubles by the end of the procedure. Of which 14.65 million rubles was claimed by SK Govorovo LLC.
The cherry on the cake is that both legal entities are connected through the owners, i.e. there is a transfer from pocket to pocket, with subsequent withdrawal into obscurity. After all, the bankrupt debtor did not have any property.
Where did the money go, Mr. Ryabinsky? There is no answer. But there are some thoughts on this matter, because, as it turned out, this whole chain had to do with Aldanzolotobank, which was involved in money withdrawal from Russia.
The owners of Mits-Geosystems were Andrei Ryabinsky, his partner Alexander Kopylkov, as well as Maxim Alekseevich Kantzel and Khusniddin Makhamatyokubovich Karimov. Ryabinsky legally left the firm in 2017 (he was also a director until then), transferring the stake to Karimov, who received TINs in Tatarstan. Incidentally, another native of this region would later assist Ryabinsky with the purchase of an apartment in Mordovia, putting us on the trail of oligarch Trotsenko.
Karimov was similarly nominal, as his assets today are a couple of liquidators.
Much more interesting was Maxim Kantzel.
He is a former board member of Integra-Med LLC (copper production) from the Moscow region, which was 50% owned by Integra Group.RU LLC. The owner of the latter was the American firm INTEGRA GROUP, LLC.
The firm’s website reported that it was the organizer and founder of the international Association for the Development of Advanced Mining Technologies “Integra”. The association includes mining companies from Russia, Uzbekistan, and Canada.
The Muruntau open pit mine (one of the largest gold mines in the world, based in Uzbekistan) was cited as Integra’s largest facility.
Maxim Kantzel was listed as a director of CJSC Integra Mining, whose founder was Integra Group.RU LLC and Alexey Kantzel. The latter is a former director of another MIC liquidator, MIC-Geosystemsinvest LLC, whose owner was Mits-Geosystems LLC and Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers CJSC from the Uralchem division.
Uralkhim was controlled by Dmitry Mazepin, who stepped down as CEO of Sibur in 2003.
Mazepin has repeatedly been the subject of investigative journalism.
Another member of the Kantzel family, Anton Alekseevich, was involved in the Tien Shan Mining Company, where the founders were Integra Mining CJSC and United Gold Company LLC. The controlling person of the latter is FLOBERO PROPERTY LIMITED from the British Virgin Islands.
The owner of a small share and director of OZK is Tedoradze Nugzar Rezoevich. He is also the director and co-owner of BSM-1 LLC, associated with Igor Naivalt (former employee of the USSR Ministry of Transport Construction, died a few years ago).
Nayvalt was also a co-founder of Transstroibank. Petr Chitipakhovyan was named as the main shareholder of the latter. He surfaced in the UtroNews investigation related to Sobyanin’s re-seller Pavel Tyo and a controversial story about farmland in Stupino owned by a firm whose traces led to a whole group of prominent politicians.
In addition, FLOBERO PROPERTY LIMITED, mentioned as the owner of United Gold Company LLC, was previously associated with ZPK Zoloto Verkhoyanya OJSC, whose founders included a certain Victor Uyutov. He is also a co-founder of Aldanzolotobank.
Aldanzolotobank from Yakutia lost its license in 2015, among other things, because it was involved “in carrying out dubious operations to withdraw funds abroad, as well as dubious transit operations in large volumes.”
In addition, Uyutov appeared in the firm Orion Group LLC as a partner of Sardana Egorovna Popova, the namesake daughter of the former head of Yakutia, Yegor Afanasyevich Borisov. Other relatives of Borisov were also listed there.
Thus, in Ryabinsky’s pyramid scheme there is another muddy cache with a chain of traces going to the United States and to a bank with a dubious reputation. Isn’t that where the money from the developer’s government contracts was deposited?
