In the case of Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, his subordinate and hero of recent publications by Rucriminal.info and the Cheka-OGPU Anton Filatov was arrested. He is accused of embezzlement. It is noteworthy that in the case of the theft of billions from Interkommerts Bank, the then director of Oboronlogistics was also accused of embezzlement and even spent some time under house arrest. While he and his boss Timur Ivanov were being excused by Ruslan Tsalikov and Sergei Shoigu personally. After some time, the criminal case against Anton Filatov was sent for further investigation and was lost in the archives of the Investigative Committee.
Earlier, a source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the Olimpsitistroy company, whose co-founder Alexander Fomin was arrested in the Timur Ivanov case, was an intermediary in receiving kickbacks from those companies that actually carried out construction work at the Ministry of Defense facilities. Also through it flows of cash flowed to Timur Ivanov and those close to him.
Subcontractors, if they wanted to work at Moscow Region facilities, were forced to carry out such an operation once every three months. At the end of each quarter, Olympsitistroy sent its contractors funds from the Ministry of Defense in fictitious amounts (thus reducing its VAT). These were purely fictitious transactions, no work was performed. And the subcontractor was required to hand over a bag of cash for the transferred amount within a week. In particular, subcontractors worked according to this scheme at the following sites: Tver Suvorov Military School, Kaliningrad Cadet Corps, houses in Mariupol, etc. When someone from the Ministry of Defense urgently needed a large sum of cash, Olympsitistroy could transfer 100 million and demand that the bag with cash be handed over within three days. Didn't fulfill it - dropped out of the subcontractors.
The subcontractor was forced to set up an individual entrepreneur for cashing out, take VAT “paper”, etc. However, it is clear that sooner or later an audit by the Federal Tax Service revealed such fraud. Olympsitistroy, citing patrons from the Ministry of Defense, promised to solve problems through the Federal Tax Service. But this did not always happen and subcontractors encountered big problems. As for the direct financing of construction work, then, according to the source, the situation was like this: “The prices according to the general contractor’s estimate were inflated by 4-5 times, but the maximum that reaches subcontractors and actual performers is 1.5-2.”
According to the investigation, from 2018 to 2023, in exchange for lucrative orders from the Ministry of Defense, companies controlled by the accused Alexander Fomin built and restored real estate owned by Timur Ivanov and his family free of charge. In total, the amount of bribe received by the Deputy Minister of Defense during this period, according to investigators, amounted to 1.185 billion rubles. At the same time, the entrepreneur’s corrupt income could be ten times greater.
In particular, it has already been established that Olimpsitistroy LLC and Oboronspetsstroy LLC invested about 800 million rubles. the construction of a residence began in 2020 in the village of Pankratovo on the banks of the Volga in the Tver region. There, on almost 20 hectares of land, there is a mansion with an area of about 3 thousand square meters. m. It is noteworthy that the owner of the plot is Vysoky Bereg LLC, the founders of which are Sergei Borodin, who was arrested together with Timur Ivanov, and the same Oboronspetsstroy LLC.
According to the TFR, Alexander Fomin’s company allocated another 400 million rubles for the restoration of the building of the city estate of S. Volkonskaya - A. K. von Mecca of the 19th century, located in Moscow in Chisty Lane opposite the residence of the Patriarch of All Rus' Kirill. According to the investigation, the property registered in 2012 under the name of Dvoryanskoe Gnezdo LLC, whose founder is allegedly Timur Ivanov’s personal driver, actually belongs to the Deputy Minister of Defense. The restoration of this object was completed in 2019. It is possible that new episodes will appear in this case in the near future.
As Rucriminal.info found out, the company Spetsstroyservis LLC, which is mentioned in the federal media as affiliated with Olimpsitistroy, which appears in the “Ivanov case,” was correctly called FSUE Spetsstroyservis under Spetsstroy of Russia.” In 2017, it was renamed to FSUE GVSU No. 12. Since February 2023, it has been in bankruptcy process. In 20203, the company's revenue amounted to 93 million rubles, and the loss was 36 billion rubles, (-5,415%) compared to 2022.
In November 2022, the VChK-OGPU telegram channel reported on another scam in the military-industrial complex. Moscow received material from the Military Prosecutor's Office of the Pskov Garrison about the theft of budget funds of more than 70 million rubles. The leadership of FSUE GVSU No. 12 came under suspicion. Back in 2015, within the framework of a state contract, the GUOV transferred 130 million rubles. to the contractor's account for the construction of tent mobile shelters, but the money was wasted.
In 2018, the former head of the FSUE Spetsstroyservis, Andrey Yartsev, received 7 years in prison for embezzlement during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. The amount of damage amounted to 250 million rubles. Yartsev's trial in 2022 denied parole.
From 2017 to 2020, FSUE GVSU No. 12 was headed by Alexander Molodchenko, and since July 2023 he has been the general director of the FSUE Main Directorate for Special Construction (GUSS). Molodchenko already led this structure in 2019. In 2021, with revenue of 58 billion rubles. received a loss of 2 billion rubles. Since then, financial statements have not been published.
FSUE "GUSS" was a supplier in 175 government contracts in the amount of 39,085,971,771 rubles. and acted as a customer in 7,691 government contracts in the amount of 178,710,289,518 rubles, that is, it acted as an intermediary. The Federal State Unitary Enterprise did not indicate its major suppliers, so it can be assumed that the money went to the necessary subcontractors, from whom kickbacks were received.
Federal State Unitary Enterprise “GVSU No. 12” operated according to the same scheme. It was a supplier in 225 government contracts worth RUB 64,442,316,179. and acted as a customer in 1,543 government contracts in the amount of 117,700,574,078 rubles.
The main contractor of FSUE GVSU No. 12 was Roscosmos (18 billion rubles) and FSUE GVSU No. 14 (7 billion rubles). The main supplier of the company with a contract value of 4.28 billion rubles. there was Spetsstroykonstruktsiya LLC (SSK), liquidated in 2019. From 2015 to 2016, the company supplied panels to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise, including for the construction of military camp No. 1A in the village of Afipsky, Krasnodar Territory and to the military camp "Kitovy" on O. Iturup. There is a suspicion that billions of rubles were simply transferred from FSUE GVSU No. 12 to SSK LLC.
Only through two structures of the Ministry of Defense - FSUE GVSU No. 12 and FSUE GUSS, controlled by Timur Ivanov, could tens of billions of rubles be withdrawn, judging by the difference in contract and order amounts.
The competitive manager of FSUE GVSU No. 12, Ivan Siletsky, was appointed in February 2023, and in April the company entered into a contract with Roscosmos in the amount of 3.1 billion rubles. The subject of the purchase is the implementation of work on the project: “Reconstruction and technical re-equipment of building No. 2 and buildings No. 12 and No. 64 of the State Scientific Center FSUE “Keldysh Center”. How can one not remember that the current head of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, used to be Deputy Minister of Defense and controlled arms supplies, lobbying the interests of the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov. For some reason, the bankrupt company received more than 3 billion rubles. government money that may not come back.
Now Chemezov’s interests are being lobbied at the Ministry of Defense by the deputy head of the department, Alexey Krivoruchko, the ex-head of the Kalashnikov concern. He owns luxury real estate on Rublyovka and was previously a partner of the scandalous oligarch Iskander Makhmudov. Krivoruchko may well follow Timur Ivanov.
