The Kakhidze brothers and corrupt ex-security officials in a mega-embezzlement
In 2017, Gazprom created, according to sources from the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info, a completely meaningless company from the point of view of business profitability, Gazprom SPG Technologies LLC, declaring it the operator of liquefied motor fuel LNG in Russia. But perhaps the idea was not bad, but it turned out to be a rather illustrative story.
Gazprom puts the younger brother of Mr. Alexander Kakhidze, Alexei, at the head of the operator. The elder Kakhidze is currently surprising the country with presentations of multi-billion dollar projects for the construction of a network of transport and logistics container centers (TLC) across the country, with the support of, among others, Messrs. Sobyanin and Kozhemyako. In reality, we have a fantastic bluff with the sole purpose of attracting credit funds, but without implementing the projects. In Russian, the theft of budget and bank funds in huge amounts, allocated for the construction of the TLC. This is not news, readers can type in the search phrase Alexander Kakhidze TLC. The result will be impressive.
But let's return to the younger Kakhidze, Alexey.
Having received 12 billion rubles from Gazprom in 2017 (an interesting fact in itself) for the development of the small-tonnage LNG market, the younger Kakhidze began to master the finances. Companies operating LNG fuel for transport in large quantities are being created, numerous mini LNG plants are being presented throughout the country (with joyful handshakes of regional heads with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom LNG Technologies LLC Alexey Kakhidze). Well, and on this, in fact, the construction of LNG plants ended (two were built with difficulty). The director of Gazprom SPG Technologies LLC, remarkably, is currently Ivan Kozhevnikov, famous for having worked in the Moscow Interregional Investigative Department for Transport of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation as the head of the department and was accused by the Moscow City Court of receiving a bribe with extortion in the amount of $4 million, and falsifying documents in the case of Colonel Zakharchenko. By the way, Kakhidze's structures include a large number of narrow-minded former law enforcement officers who vigilantly monitor the absence of betrayal among the structure's employees.
At the same time, Mr. Kakhidze has been creating a huge number of legal entities over several years that have no relation to Gazprom. And according to the documents, they have no relation to Kakhidze. The number of affiliated legal entities is currently difficult to calculate, we are tired of the figure 100.
These are mainly companies with 1 person, a director, on staff. But there are also relatively large companies, such as OOO AK MT CFO, OOO AK MOSTRANS, OOO NIIPGAZA, OOO CENTER STROY, OOO STROY INVEST, OOO GAZKHOLODTEKHNOLOGIYA, OOO SPG and others. The main types of business of Alexey Kakhidze are the "construction" of cryogenic LNG plants, participation in deliveries as an intermediary with a multiple overestimation of the cost, transport logistics with the participation of automobile companies OOO AK MT CFO, OOO AK MOSTRANS and others. For them, in China, under leasing schemes through OOO Gefest, OOO MORSKIE TEKHNOLOGII, large quantities of tractors equipped with equipment for working on LNG are purchased. The created companies of the interlayer OOO GEFEST, OOO MORSKIE TEKHNOLOGII, OOO ARKHANGELSKAYA SERVISNAYA KOMPANIYA, OOO STROY SERVIS, OOO CENTER STROY and others, thanks to Kakhidze's connections, begin to appear in the Rosneft mega-project - Vostok Oil, in Crimea under the federal project of supplying drinking water to residents of the peninsula. In both places, Alexey Kakhidze showed his true colors, having stolen at least 10 billion rubles from Rosneft in the Vostok Oil project, and more than 4 billion in Crimea (the investigation of the well-known scam in Crimea was quietly shelved, given the officials interested in this). The principle of the theft is simple - an overstatement by three or four times of the materials supplied to projects through the companies OOO GEFEST, OOO MORSKIE TEKHNOLOGII, OOO ARKHANGELSKAYA SERVISNAYA KOMPANIYA. Mr. Khusnullin and Mr. Sechin are aware of these fraudulent actions, but their reaction is zero.
Quite an interesting structure of the companies of the LNG operator OOO Gazprom LNG Technologies - subsidiaries of PAO Gazprom, isn't it? It is interesting, but it is not surprising if you take a closer look at the Kakhidze brothers. The elder Kakhidze was considered a man of Kanokov, a senator, worked in Russian Railways in management positions, acquired for 1 euro with an option to return to the business from one of the world's largest transport and logistics companies, the French CMA CGM logistics operator "Logoper". The younger Alexey for some reason almost ends up in Gazprom. But, in our opinion, Mr. Kanokov has nothing to do with it, and has no relation to them.
The connections of the companies of the Kakhidze brothers point to the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Babakov A.M. He is their real beneficiary. Mr. Babakov had previously been involved with the banks CentroCredit and Tempbank, which were de facto his property (and still are), and in the 2000s he took an active part in the largest withdrawal of budget and other funds abroad in the history of the country in the amount of (exactly but unknown) more than 20 billion dollars, the so-called Laundromat group. The company 1520 Russian Railways also took part in the withdrawal (let's remember the work of the elder Kakhidze in Russian Railways). The story of Mr. Babakov A.M. is extremely interesting, it is worth remembering not only the Laundromat, but also his close connection with the energy system of the country 404, in which he is the beneficiary of the lion's share of energy enterprises. And also the beginning of his activities as the leader of the Luzhniki organized crime group (with Ukrainian roots) in the 90s ... ... but this is a different story.
Currently, the Kakhidze brothers are officially assistants to Babakov, as a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Let's return to the projects of Alexey Kakhidze. The acquisition of equipment for mini LNG plants (and their "construction", let us recall, only two of more than 60 announced for 12 billion rubles in 2017 were built), truck tractors, cryogenic gas stations and other things, was carried out only on lease. At the same time, the amounts of acquisition of these fixed assets through the companies OOO GEFEST, OOO MORSKIE TEKHNOLOGII and others, increased three to five times. Accordingly, the turnover of the received credit funds for the acquisition of this on lease - the real cost was quickly returned by accelerated depreciation of the equipment acquired on lease, and the return of VAT from the budget for a cost inflated by three to five times. And the difference between the real cost and the inflated balance was simply taken out of the country. According to our estimates, without producing anything, Mr. Kakhidze withdrew from the budget of the Russian Federation at least 100 million dollars of VAT only on inflated leasing. These funds were transferred abroad with the help of Latvian enterprises, as well as mutual funds organized by the Kakhidze group (COMBINED MUTUAL FUND "UNITED ASSETS OF THE FUTURE" and others).
