Entrepreneur Mikhail Yevloyev, having fraudulently appropriated the accounts payable of JSC Klyuchevsky Ferroalloy Plant (KZF), is now trying to establish full control over this enterprise - an important executor of state defense orders, a strategic supplier for the defense and space industries, as well as a number of "civilian" industries. This is reported by the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel.
There is a clear feeling that the state defense order may not end up in the cleanest hands. Ostap Bender himself could envy the scheme of the clever Yevloyev. But first things first.
The MidUral Group of Companies, which includes KZF, decided to sell one of its non-core enterprises in 2023 - Khrompik (aka Russian Chrome 1915). The buyer was the Polyplast Group. To support the transaction, the parties engaged two agents - and one of them, unfortunately for the seller, was Mikhail Evloev.
Under the terms of the deal, the buyer of Khrompik shares had to pay off the accounts payable not only of Russian Chrome, but also of the aforementioned KZF. That's why intermediaries were needed: MidUral, as the owner of the shares, could not directly participate in the transaction, since the buyout of its own company's credit debt was prohibited by creditor rules. Which is quite logical.
As a result, Khrompik was successfully transferred to the buyers from Polyplast, but there was a discrepancy with the accounts payable. As it soon turned out, when transferring payments for "Khrompik", the intermediary Evloev built a chain of transit transactions, as a result of which the KZF accounts payable not only did not decrease, but on the contrary increased. And at the same time, the creditors' claims were transferred... to the schemer Evloev himself! Without spending a penny, the clever Mikhail appropriated a very pleasant sum, equivalent to 32.75 million US dollars, under loan agreements with UniCredit Bank.
What happened next is not hard to guess. Evloev and his structures (in particular, the company "EMA Invest"), through the appropriated "accounts payable", are now laying claim to the assets of JSC "KZF" as the most tasty morsel of the MidUral group. In particular, he bombards banks with letters, trying to disrupt credit lines for KZF.
The situation is not ordinary, and it clearly requires the intervention of some law enforcement agencies - either the Prosecutor General's Office or the Ministry of Defense as a major customer of KZF. Or maybe both.
Due to the actions of an unscrupulous intermediary, MidUral can neither continue the KZF investment program nor guarantee its continuous stable operation (especially in the context of external sanctions).
Rucriminal.info notes that the sale of Russian Chrome was successful only for the Polyplast Group. The buyer paid for the purchase and the plant was transferred to new owners.
But agent Mikhail Evloev began to play his own game.
According to our sources, when transferring payments for Khromik shares, Evloev, using a chain of transit transactions, did not pay off the debt of the MidUral group, but on the contrary, created it, only this time to himself.
As we have learned, the purchased credit debt of the Klyuchevsky Ferroalloy Plant in the amount of $27.5 million under loan agreements with UniCredit Bank and $5.250 million were appropriated by them. And this is despite the fact that all the proceeds from the sale of shares, at the expense of which the rights of claim from banks were acquired, are not due to Yevloyev or the company "EMA Invest", where he is the founder, but to the actual owner of the sold shares of the company MidUral.
But the story, of course, does not stop at the stolen credit debt.
According to our information, over the past year, Mikhail Alekseevich Yevloyev, together with other persons, including those previously convicted of fraud under Art. 159 Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (the editorial board has a list of these persons), has developed a vigorous activity. Yevloyev personally and through controlled companies, including his LLC "EMA Invest", using the rights of claim received but not returned to the owner as a result of the sale of shares, purposefully tries to seize the assets of JSC "KZF" and establish control over the enterprise, creating obstacles to its normal production activities. Yevloyev presents JSC "KZF" with accounts payable, which he bought out at someone else's expense. He sends letters to banks, trying to limit access to receiving financing for replenishing working capital, and in fact creates a threat to the performance of JSC Klyuchevsky Ferroalloy Plant. And this, for obvious reasons, harms not only the interests of business, but also state interests, since it creates risks to the reliable supply of Russian enterprises with ferroalloys, including enterprises of the military-industrial complex. At the same time, Evloev is not actually a shareholder of the Klyuchevsky Plant, as he writes in his letters. In fact, the fact that Mikhail Evloev appropriated the rights to claim against KZF, which he acquired through a targeted loan from MidUral, and is now doing everything possible to avoid returning the money received, looks like an abuse of trust and cannot be called anything other than fraud.
sh. Moreover, fraud on an especially large scale.
And here the security forces and the courts must have their say, and journalists, in turn, will continue to closely and impartially monitor what is happening, study the history and adventures of Yevloyev.
As sources in MidUral told us, the funds from the sale of shares of "Russian Chrome 1915" were intended for investment in the development of KZF, for its continuous stable operation in the conditions of sanctions pressure, allowing to ensure the fulfillment of social obligations and guarantees to employees, the receipt of taxes in budgets of all levels, compliance with the norms and requirements of environmental safety.
