The court may attract ex-Senator Savelyev to subsidiary liability
As it became known to Kommersant, who was under investigation on charges of organizing an attempt on the murder of his business partner, former senator Dmitry Saveliev appealed to the ninth arbitration appeal court a decision of the capital’s arbitration to bring him to subsidiary liability. If the decision remains valid, Dmitry Savelyev can not only sit down for a long time, but also pay more than 2.5 billion rubles on the debts of the Uralstroyneft construction company.
In December last year, the Moscow Arbitration Court granted the requirement of the bankruptcy trustee of Uralstroyneft LLC to bring Dmitry Savelyev to subsidiary liability for the obligations of this bankrupt company.
The amount of Uralstroyneft debts to the creditors, including PJSC Ak Bars Bank, exceeds 2.5 billion rubles.
In 2021, the company was declared bankrupt, but could not pay off on debts on its own, in connection with which the Moscow Arbitration Court assigned the corresponding obligation to Dmitry Savelyev and the persons associated with it.
The court indicated that Dmitry Savelyev, being the final beneficiary of Uralstroyneft, took an active part in transactions to withdraw its assets, and therefore there is a direct connection between his unscrupulous actions and the impossibility of complete repayment of the requirements.
Together with Dmitry Savelyev, by decision of the court, his assistant Irina Kudryashova will be responding to the creditors of the company. The arbitration determined that it is subject to bringing to subsidiary liability, as she performed the functions of the asset manager Dmitry Savelyev, in fact, being the nominal leader of the company controlled by him.
The grounds for bringing to subsidiary liability of another former owner of Uralstroyneft – Sirina Badrutdinova – the Moscow Arbitration Court did not see, indicating that he was not a person who controls Uralstroyneft, did not make decisions on the conclusion of transactions to withdraw the company’s assets and was not the beneficiary for them. The transactions concluded by Mr. Badrutdinov for the sale of his property Lyudmila Goroshkova and Rimma Sakhapova, mentioned in the application for bringing to subsidiary liability as a businessman’s co -consumer liability, were the subject of consideration in the case of his personal bankruptcy, decided to arbitrate. There were no grounds for recognizing transactions illegal, which was confirmed by all courts.
The position of the ninth arbitration court will become known on May 13, when, according to the arbitration case, the complaint of Dmitry Savelyev will be considered.
If the decision comes into force, the Prosecutor General’s Office will have an occasion to file an ex-Senator of the anti-corruption claim, as it will be established that he was engaged in business while in the civil service.
Recall that, as previously reported by Kommersant, at the end of 2024 the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation I gave it The criminal case on the charges of Sirin Badrutdinov on a waste of 74 million rubles, belonging to another joint with Dmitry Savelyev of the construction company, SpetsstroyService, to the Prosecutor General to approve the indictment and sending it to the court. Having studied the materials received, the prosecutor’s office did not agree with the interpretation of events related to withdrawal from LLC SpetsstroyService, with this investigators, and returned the case for an additional investigation. The supervisory authority indicated that the accusation of Mr. Badrutdinov and other defendants in embezzlement of the company’s funds illegally and contradicts the collected evidence, and the case file indicates the illegal activities of the former Senator Dmitry Savelyev. It was in his interests that in 2018-2019, 74 million rubles were withdrawn, belonging to them with Dmitry Savelyev, SpetsstroyService.
As for the criminal case against Dmitry Savelyev, we recall that, according to investigators, in the spring of 2024, the Afghan veteran Yuri Nefedov received $ 100 thousand from his assistant at that time. He was supposed to liquidate the ex-partner Dmitry Savelyev for business, who served his term in colony. For half the amount, the Tula « Authority » connected to the order Sergey Dyukov.
All of them were detained after an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service, to whom the attackers turned for help, transmitted information to the FSB.
Now the case has already been completed, Yuri Nefedov, who pleaded guilty, will go on trial in a special manner, and other defendants who deny her, in the usual.
It should be noted that Dmitry Savelyev also participated in the fighting and for the courage and heroism manifested in the fulfillment of international duty in Afghanistan, was marked by two medals “for courage”. Gosnarts can become a circumstance mitigating the guilt in the criminal case, but not in arbitration.
