The ex-relative of Albert Avdolyan, the fugitive beneficiary of the MRSEN holding, Eldar Osmanov, almost brought the oligarch under the monastery, claiming falsification ...
Osmanov, in order not to return almost 200 million rubles withdrawn to personal accounts from the energy holding under the guise of bonuses, tried to disown the role of the beneficiary.
The court rejected Osmanov's arguments, but this story forced a fresh look at the role of Avdolyan in the MRSEN case.
The UtroNews correspondent understood the situation.
At the end of November 2024, the appellate instance rejected the complaint of the person involved in the criminal case, Eldar Osmanov. In it, the beneficiary of MRSEN tried to prove that he was not the beneficiary at all, and thereby challenge the invalidation of transfers to his accounts of 191.373 million rubles from MRSEN accounts in 2016-2017 by invalid transactions.
The amount appeared as bonuses, reimbursement of costs and calculation upon dismissal.
The bankruptcy trustee of MRSEN JSC considered that Osmanov not only showed unfair behavior, but also thus withdrew part of the assets from the sinking holding.
As it turned out, in June 2016, Osmanov left Russia, and a bonus of 89.191 million rubles was paid when he was absent from the country.
Moreover, Osmanov is currently on the wanted list, as he is a defendant in a criminal case on the withdrawal of 10 billion rubles from the division, which, according to the investigation, were stolen from the companies of the Rosseti division through a complex chain of transactions. The money was taken away through an affiliated bank and controlled companies. Both technical loans and the purchase of bills, deposits in the authorized capital were used.

And in general, Osmanov was the beneficiary of the holding, albeit through a long, complex chain of connections, and could not know about the problems.
It was his status as a beneficiary that the Ottomans tried to challenge at one time, while claiming falsification of evidence. These included the Basic Legal Terms of the transaction for the acquisition of key companies of the MRSEN group and the granting of an option to beneficiaries dated 25.09.2017, concluded between Stars Generys Ltd, which is part of a group of companies directly or indirectly controlled by Avdolyan, and Osmanov with his partner Shulgin.

For a minute: Avdolyan is a relative of Osmanov through the marriage of children (dissolved later) and during the litigation of fragments of MRSEN this relationship has been proven more than once. Thus, the statements about the falsification of the document, where the second party was a company associated with Avdolyan, looks like a setup from Osmanov.
Although, however, it may be nothing more than a cover-up performance. After all, another offshore Avdolyan - Sparkel City Invest LTD will later emerge in the bankruptcy cases of the MRSEN division as a creditor and it will look like an attempt to withdraw part of the assets. At the same time, it was reported in court more than once that Avdolyan himself was often the source of money for these loans.
The court terminated a number of contracts, taking into account the legal and actual affiliation of the borrowers and the lender through the marriage of the children of the ultimate beneficiaries - Osmanov and Avdolyan. The court took into account, for example, in the case of PJSC VSK and Sparkel City Invest LTD and evasion of disclosure of a reasonable economic purpose and motives for obtaining debt financing from an affiliated foreign company.
Moreover, later documents confirmed that the financial performance of Sparkel City Invest LTD at the end of 2016 did not allow financing in these volumes. That is, Avdolyan himself could give money, although it was carried out with an allegedly unrelated offshore. The connection was proved later, when the creditors were able to obtain the necessary documents.

The court ultimately concluded that Sparkel City Invest LTD did not pursue the achievement of reasonable business goals, and by its unscrupulous actions contributed to the increase in accounts payable of both the borrower and his guarantors in anticipation of bankruptcy. Moreover, the court did not see evidence that the money was actually transferred to the borrower. That is, the loan could exist only on paper.

Do you think the court statements stopped Avdolyan's co-company? Far from it.
So, in terms of debts, the right of claim was transferred to AENP LLC (now it is N.A. Popov CIPE LLC), an offshore subsidiary.
The offshore itself seemed to come out of the number of owners, but individuals associated with the oligarch remained the owners. Now it is Alexei Bykov, who was the director of the LLC when offshore, and a certain Latum LLC, connected with the same Bykov. The latter is the owner of a stake in Andayana Group LLC, where his partner is YATEK CEO Andrei Korobov, Avdolyan's confidant for dubious asset transactions in the Stavropol Territory. Avdolyan also has a stake in YATEK.

Watch your hands: Avdolyan, through a controlled legal entity, allegedly credits the legal entity MRSEN, the ultimate beneficiary of which is, among other things, his relative Osmanov. Then Osmanov, as bonuses and other payments from the accounts of MRSEN, takes away almost 200 million rubles, that is, the company loses these millions, but Avdolyan still owes a large amount of loans. At the same time, at least one of these loans could not even prove that the money was actually transferred. Do you feel how someone pulled schematosis with a dubious bottom?
At the same time, the same Sparkel City Invest LTD will repeatedly emerge in controversial transactions related to lending, other offshore companies and Avdolyan.
The Cypriot company, judging by the open data, still operating through the secretary - CYMANCO SERVICES LIMITED, is also connected with other offshore companies close to the oligarch - Sanomil Co Limited, POLOCOM and Wooden Fish Agency Limited.

Avdolyan's name has repeatedly surfaced in ambiguous stories related, among other things, to financial flows, but it does not appear in any criminal case or even a pre-investigation check. In our opinion, not the last importance in the unsinkability of this gentleman is his close ties with the head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, who even joined the board of trustees of the Avdolyanovsky fund together with his wife.
