Graneli's rollback maneuvers: did Nazarov's son-in-law take officials for allowance?

The Granel company, whose beneficiary is the family of Bashkirian Prime Minister Andrei Nazarov, allocates apartments and multimillion-dollar sums to "resolve" disputes w...

Ilshat Nigmatullin, president of Graneli and son-in-law of Bashkiria Prime Minister Andrei Nazarov, who is involved in a criminal case on bribery, appeared in a new scandal.

The editorial office of UtroNews received a package of certain documents - memos with the Graneli emblem in the name of Nigmatullin, from which we can conclude that in order to solve problems on a number of construction projects, money was allegedly allocated from the division's budget for individual officials, as well as the fact that the developer could participate in financing election campaigns and gift individual high officials from the team of Governor Andrei Vorobyov. The wording of these "notes" sometimes sounds so ambiguous that they suggest whether bribes are being conducted, especially since Nigmatullin and his deputy Adushev already have a criminal case?

Today we are completing the analysis of the second package of documents.

Apartments for an official

Particular attention in the documents is attracted by a note from 2021 from a certain Maxim Slovyagin that in the Graneli division he holds the post of director for pre-project coordination of the Granel Group of Companies and enters the corridors of power.

The document refers to the sale of three apartments worth 16 million rubles to the deputy head of the administration of the Leninsky urban district. It is proposed to terminate equity contracts and there is a remark that in connection with the opening of a credit line for the residential complex "Picturesque," it is necessary to agree on the payment of 10 million rubles in working order. This is where the questions arise, for whom 10 million rubles were required and how is this connected with apartments for a high rank?

The name of the official is not named, but in general, the head of this municipality has already a dozen deputies. Apparently, a very bread place? At the same time, there is an amusing leapfrog: some of the deputies left for places not so distant.

Among those who got burned on a bribe and just 10 million rubles, Albert Gravin appears.

As REN TV reported, before that Gravin had already got into scandalous stories, including those related to land issues and possible fraud, and he was also seen lobbying and protecting developers. By the way, the bribe-taker in the Gravin case was not named then. So maybe the stall just opens?

By the way, following Gravin in 2023, the head of the Leninsky urban district, Alexei Spassky, was also detained, who was suspected of a large bribe and fraud with land plots.

As we have already reported in the last material, it was in Leninsky G.O. "Granel" could participate financially in conducting a certain election campaign.

One of the memos also raises questions to the leadership of the Moscow Canal FSBI, which is controlled by Rosmorrechflot.

Based on the document, we can conclude that 2 million rubles are required to agree on the placement of a certain park area along the canal. At the same time, the signing of an agreement on the allocation of territory for improvement has risen in price by 0.5 million rubles after the change of leadership in 2021. Didn't it smell like a bribe from somewhere?

It's interesting: indeed, in 2021, Andrei Androsov was replaced by Oleg Shakhmardanov (previously he was the head of the Volga-Don Administration). At the same time, Androsov occupied the chair after the former businessman Boris Lapshin, only a couple of months.

The FSBI was also not without scandals. In 2016, one of the employees of the state institution was involved in the case of embezzlement during the reconstruction of the Moscow Canal. It was about almost 0.5 billion rubles.

In 2020, a criminal case on abuse of office was initiated against an official of the same department on the basis of a decision of the Moscow OFAS Russia. As they say, a fisherman sees a fisherman from afar and you just need to know who to bring?

Hole in the new building will cover 3.5 million bribes?

Another memo concerns the Moskvichka residential complex and the allocation of 3.5 million rubles to resolve the issue of commissioning facilities, and another document speaks of the need to allocate 220 thousand rubles to obtain an adjusted permit for house No. 3. It can be assumed that there were problems with the introduction of LCD.

But here it is not a sin to remember that back in 2020, that is, a year before the note, a loud scandal arose regarding the LCD. The publication "Moscow 24" reported that those residents who have already settled in the residential complex have complaints about the developer: people have to freeze in their apartments, then soar in the corridor, and after the rains, the water floods the balconies.

It should be noted here that this residential complex, which includes several houses, was built by the Land Yug company, which was re-signed in the Ryazan region in 2022, and was liquidated after bankruptcy on June 24, 2024.

True, before that, the LLC was taken out of the Graneli circuit, transferring later to the liquidated Gorod 2 LLC and Ruslan Kuzmich, who was also the director of Gorod 2.

This is not the first time Kuzmich has received Graneli's toxic assets. Prior to that, he appeared as a new co-owner of a stake in the former Granel LLC, which is currently bankrupt, having been renamed Thaler LLC. The Moscow Post spoke in detail about the last asset, which was the developer of the Imperial Mytishchi residential complex.

Recall that Nigmatullin and Adushev, who personally and through a relative has shares in companies common with Graneli's beneficiaries, are involved in a corruption case. The media reported that the basis for the case may be attempts by the defendants to resolve issues with the tax authorities. Later, the editors of UtroNews discovered at least one major attempt to circumvent tax legislation and reduce taxes by a very significant amount. In the story of the deduction for 1.5 billion rubles, firms associated with Granel and proxies of the beneficiaries, with whom they have already completed more than one transaction, participated.

The editors also found out that companies with a toxic plume (for example, were developers of objects commissioned with violations of deadlines), very quickly take the division beyond the contour. They are merged with proxies, and later in court some loan and contract agreements may surface, according to which the company owes "its" large sums.

In general, the situation around Graneli has long, in our opinion, requires a full-fledged tax and pre-investigation check. And after the publication of the memos to the competent authorities, it is not superfluous to shake the connection of Nazarov's son-in-law in Vorobyov's team.
