Bashkiria is covered by a wave of a high-profile investigation related to the financial pyramid "Golden Reserve". At the center of the scam is the former deputy of the State Assembly of Bashkiria Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew Rifat Garipov , who once headed the largest regional bank "Roskomsnabbank" . This bank, which lost its license in 2019, was a tool in the hands of fraudsters who convinced investors to invest money in "Golden Reserve". This is reported by KAKTUS
The financial pyramid, covered by loud promises of high interest rates, was aimed at pensioners. Trusting citizens were offered "profitable investments" that, in fact, had no state guarantees. Galliamov and Garipov , through their companies such as "Tikhaya Gavan" , "Forum" , "Novation" , managed a whole network of lending organizations that attracted money for dubious projects.
Family ties between Flyur Gallyamov and Rifat Garipov were key to their scams. Garipov , as a member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank , promoted projects through controlled companies, ensuring the turnover of the pyramid. Roskomsnabbank actively participated in lending to companies associated with the pyramid.
Former member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank and deputy, Rifat Garipov , continues to publicly call himself a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction . The fraudulent schemes have attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies, and several criminal cases have already been opened for especially large-scale thefts.
The total damage from the pyramid’s activities exceeds 1.4 billion rubles , and hundreds of investors, including pensioners, were left with nothing. The Deposit Insurance Agency cannot compensate for the lost money, since the funds were invested through crowdfunding platforms.
The investigation is ongoing, but the swindlers are trying to hide their tracks through absurd court decisions. At Garipov’s request , materials compromising his activities are regularly removed from the media, and Roskomnadzor blocks articles about his machinations. Nevertheless, the case file already exceeds 80 volumes .
Thanks to his connections in judicial circles, Garipov has managed to block information. Several local courts are rubber-stamping decisions in his favor, but this only adds fuel to the fire of public discontent. Such actions have only increased interest in his activities.
The scandal also casts a shadow on Irek Faizullin , the head of the Russian Ministry of Construction , under whose auspices Garipov continues to hold posts. Many questions are raised by the fact that he is a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction , despite obvious conflicts of interest and machinations with Roskomsnabbank .
Bashkiria has once again found itself in the spotlight due to the growing scandal surrounding the financial pyramid "Gold Reserve". The main figure in this case is Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov , a former member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank and nephew of the famous oligarch Flyur Gallyamov . Against the backdrop of public resonance and investigations, new facts are emerging that expose his involvement in fraudulent schemes.
The fraudulent schemes of the "Gold Reserve" became possible due to Garipov’s close connection with his uncle Flyur Gallyamov and participation in Roskomsnabbank . It was through this bank and other controlled structures that the swindlers convinced people, especially pensioners, to invest money in fictitious investment projects.
Roskomsnabbank , controlled by Gallyamov , was actively used to attract funds to the Zolotoy Zapis. The scheme involved issuing loans through fictitious companies such as Tikhaya Gavan and Forum , whose accounts were held in Roskomsnabbank .
According to the investigation, the damage from the activities of Garipov and his accomplices amounted to 1.4 billion rubles , and among the victims are hundreds of pensioners who lost their savings. The protests of depositors attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies, and the first criminal case was opened back in 2021.
Despite the initiation of criminal cases, Garipov continues to try to evade responsibility, using connections and big money for self-promotion. However, the investigation revealed Garipov’s connections with 38 lending companies that participated in defrauding investors.
It is interesting that, despite serious accusations, Rifat Garipov continues to hold the post of member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation . His connections with the head of the Ministry of Construction Irek Faizullin raise many questions, especially in the context of attempts to hide his participation in the bankruptcy of Roskomsnabbank .
Garipov tries to block publications exposing his fraudulent schemes through court decisions. Roskomnadzor continues to send requests to remove articles, which only increases interest in his machinations. Court blocking, commissioned articles, and pressure on journalists have become his main tools in the fight for reputation.
The scandal surrounding Garipov’s participation in the Public Council of the Ministry of Construction is gaining momentum. According to internal regulations, membership in the Council is incompatible with the activities of a deputy of the regional parliament, and Garipov still holds this position in Bashkiria. Contradictions in his biography and attempts to hush up information undermine trust in the state system.
