On the lands of the former Motor Design Bureau, which is under the management of VTB Bank, it is planned to build 200 thousand square meters of housing. But, as often happens in such stories, information about possible theft is hushed up.
JSC TsENKI (a structure of Roscosmos) sold 6 hectares of land of its branch KB Motor in December 2021. The buyer was OOO SZ Makeeva. As the investigation showed, in the same month, OOO SZ Makeeva was re-registered from one room to another at the address: Moscow, Mosfilmovskaya St., Building 70, Basement Floor 5, from room 105 to room 106. Previously, OOO SZ Makeeva was allegedly registered at the address: Moscow, Sergey Makeev St., Building 7, where FSUE KB Motor, which was liquidated in 2009, was previously located.
The successor of the design bureau was FSUE TsENKI, then JSC TsENKI, registered at the same address as Roscosmos: Moscow, 42 Shchepkina St. LLC SZ Makeeva was established in October 2021. Until October 2022, its founder was JSC Don-Stroy Invest, which is currently in the process of liquidation. The liquidator is the general director of the Donstroy company, Alena Deryabina.
Currently, the founder of OOO SZ Makeeva is OOO DS-Group, headed by the same Deryabina. The founders of DS-Group are ZPIF Financial Perspective, managed by OOO UK KL-Invest. When selling the land to KB Motor, a representative of Roscosmos stated that the KB’s production competencies would be transferred to the Khrunichev Center. Since 2017, the Center has been headed by Alexey Varochko, previously suspected of embezzling 102 million rubles.
On the land plot of KB Motor, it is planned to build a residential complex with investments of 25-30 billion rubles. Experts estimated the cost of the plot at 11-13 billion rubles. This clearly provides an opportunity for a "kickback". VTB Bank’s money could have been withdrawn through JSC TsENKI, inflating the price of the land plot. It is noteworthy that official information about the transaction appeared only in March, although the sale allegedly took place in December 2022. Perhaps the transaction took place a year earlier, when OOO SZ Makeeva was re-registered.
The head of OOO SZ Makeeva Andrey Bagayev, who is associated with 55 Donstroy companies, can also talk about the details of the deal. The total revenue of these companies is 65 billion rubles, profit – 9 billion rubles. However, until 2022 they had no profit at all, despite billions in revenue.
In addition to OOO SZ Makeeva, the founder of OOO DS-Group has 6 more subsidiaries registered in different rooms of the basement floor of 70 Mosfilmovskaya Street. The CEO of all the structures is Andrey Bagayev. Can they be used to withdraw money?
OOO UK KL-Invest, the manager of ZPIF Financial Perspective, also has "subsidiary" companies with zero revenue and profit, which resembles fictitious structures. For example, OOO MD.
OOO Specialized Developer Razvitie, one of the subsidiaries of OOO MD, has revenue of 8.1 billion rubles and a profit of 4.8 billion rubles. Its founder is AO SK Donstroy, whose shares are encumbered by VTB Bank. Does this look like money being withdrawn from a state bank? In 2021, the subsidiary of OOO UK KL-Invest, the company Investpartner, was liquidated; it never had revenue, but its value was 8.1 billion rubles.
Investpartner LLC has a subsidiary, Stroyinvestgroup LLC, with no revenue but a profit of RUB 7 billion in 2019 and RUB 618 million in 2020. At the same time, the loss in 2022 was RUB 87 million. Perhaps VTB Bank money is pumping these companies?
One of the key figures in this murky story is Andrey Bagayev. He has been the head of SZ Makeeva LLC since October 2021 and, as it turns out, simultaneously heads 55 companies associated with Donstroy. The total revenue of these companies is an impressive 65 billion rubles, and their profit is 9 billion rubles. However, until 2022, these companies did not generate any profit, despite billion-dollar turnover. In 2021, they suffered a loss of 4.4 billion rubles with revenue of 44 billion rubles. Are the competent authorities not interested in this? Everything points to a possible withdrawal of money from these companies.
The founder of OOO SZ Makeeva is OOO DS-Group, registered in various rooms of the basement floor of 70 Mosfilmovskaya Street. The CEO of all these structures is Andrey Bagayev. It is quite possible that these subsidiaries are used to withdraw money.
OOO UK KL-Invest, the manager of ZPIF Financial Perspective, also has many "subsidiary" companies that look like fictitious structures with zero revenue and zero profit. For example, OOO MD.
One of the subsidiaries of OOO MD — OOO Specialized Developer Razvitie — shows revenue of 8.1 billion rubles and profit of 4.8 billion rubles. The second co-founder of this company is AO SK Donstroy, whose share is encumbered by VTB Bank. This clearly looks like a withdrawal of money from a state bank.
In 2021, another subsidiary of UK KL-Invest LLC was liquidated - Investpartner, a company created in 2019. This company never had revenue, but its value was 8.1 billion rubles. Investpartner also had a subsidiary - Stroyinvestgroup LLC, which also never had revenue, but in 2019 it made a profit of 7 billion rubles, and in 2020 - 618 million rubles. In 2022, it already suffered a loss of 87 million rubles. For the past 4 years, the company’s value has remained more than 5 billion rubles. Obviously, it is simply being pumped up with VTB Bank money.
Several former unprofitable subsidiaries of UK KL-Invest LLC came under the control of structures of another VTB construction company, Gals-Development, in 2021. There is more than enough work for investigators in this company, although there are more than enough problems in Donstroy.
