Return of the Prodigal Oligarch

Makarevich shelled out 5 billion rubles for a “ticket” home



As it became known to the Cheka-OGPU, the Sokol office in Sochi was recently registered under the structure of the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich, the company Kubrenta LLC. Obviously, the prodigal oligarch who fled to Austria was so happy in this country of victorious capitalism that he uncontrollably wanted to return home and is trying to do this with all his might. “Falcon” went to Makarevich as a settlement from his fixer Armenak Tozlyan, whom the oligarch generously lent with money.

As we wrote earlier, Oleg Makarevich, through pocket judges, is trying to do everything to evade responsibility in numerous criminal cases and thus get a return ticket to his homeland. And so far he's doing well.



The “return ticket home” is not cheap: as payment for stopping the persecution by law enforcement and tax authorities, Makarevich paid five billion rubles and “borrowed” several more. Rumor has it that Tozlyan explained such a high price for resolving the issue by involving his close contact from the AP - Stanislav. Whether this is true or not, the fact remains: the security forces and the courts began to show total loyalty to Makarevich. We will tell you why Makarevich pays fixers so generously.

So, what did the tax authorities know? The essence of the fraud is simple: Oleg Makarevich issued fictitious multimillion-dollar loans to his own Krasnodar company Provisions LLC, which withdrew real money to the settlement accounts of individual entrepreneur O.A. Makarevich. at UMC Bank with the purpose of payment “loan repayment”. After which Makarevich urgently bought currency and transferred it to European banks to the accounts of his company Landkraft - Technik GMBH. Using this and a number of similar schemes, Makarevich withdrew tens of billions of rubles from the country. At this time, the Supreme Court overturned earlier arbitration decisions declaring illegal the decision of the Central Bank to revoke the license of YUMK-Bank. So all of Makarevich’s financial transactions through bank accounts can be challenged.

Makarevich is trying to get out by buying the solutions he needs. And so, first, the Federal Tax Service check stalled, and then the law enforcement officials who were conducting 7 criminal cases against Makarevich were denied access to Makarevich’s tax base. How is this possible, you ask? It’s very simple: this is done if a person involved in a criminal investigation “suddenly” finds himself under state protection.

It is noteworthy that recently the scandalous oligarch has been persistently moving his business assets to Tambov. In the summer of 2023, the following of his companies moved there:

1. Trans-Ural LLC. At first this company was based in Bashkortostan, now it is located on Michurinskaya Street in Tambov. The company's authorized capital is 20.1 million rubles. However, until 2020 it was only 100 thousand rubles. Until 02/09/2018, the founder was Crafter LLC. Revenue for last year amounted to 235 million rubles, which is 3.5 times more than the year before. Profit in 2021 is equal to 4.7 million rubles, which is 3.2 times higher than in 2020. Total assets also increased last year by 3.1 times and at the end of the year amounted to 174 million rubles.

2. Bigcar LLC. Previously, the company was located in Novosibirsk, but has now moved to Tambov. The company’s status fund now amounts to 20.2 million rubles, although even before September 15, 2020 it was only 100 thousand rubles. Until January 31, 2018, the founder was the same Crafter LLC. Revenue for 2021 increased by 56.4% and amounted to 1.1 billion rubles. Profit increased by almost 62% and equaled 30.5 million rubles. Total assets also increased over the year by almost 19% and amounted to 326 million rubles.

3. LLC "Neva-logistic". At first this company was registered in St. Petersburg, now the organization has also moved to Tambov. At the moment, the company has a status fund of 25.1 million rubles, while even before September 23, 2020 it was 100 thousand rubles. Until January 30, 2018, the founder of this organization was also Crafter LLC. Revenue last year increased by 30.5% and amounted to 566 million rubles. Profit also increased by 30% and amounted to 15.3 million rubles.



Total assets for 2021 also increased by almost 62.4% and amounted to 397 million rubles.



What unites these “moved” companies of Oleg Makarevich?



- all the companies were “moved” by the fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich to Tambov;



- all organizations initially had a status capital of only 100 thousand rubles, but in 2020 it sharply increased to many millions of rubles;



- last year, all financial indicators went up sharply: revenue, profit and total assets increased.



That is, as we see, such a “move” had an extremely positive impact on the financial results of the companies of the fugitive criminal entrepreneur.



But that's not all. All these enterprises are part of the Crafter group of companies, which Makarevich founded 12 years ago. This group is one of the top five freight forwarding enterprises in the Russian Federation. Crafter LLC has an authorized capital of 27 5 million rubles, but we note that almost 98% of the status fund currently belongs to the society itself. In addition, there is only one person on the staff itself. Also, as of October 1, 2021, the company had tax arrears in the amount of 16.7 million rubles.

Is it really possible that oligarch Oleg Makarevich will be able to trample on the law again?

Pawn Promotion

“Not without the assistance of the mayor of Krasnodar, Naumov became a queen”



The beneficiary and a kind of organizer of Krasnodar's garbage problems, Oleg Makarevich, a well-known oligarch in the region, whose controlled companies are already receiving billions of budget money, is apparently preparing to open the faucet to the fullest.

Krasnodar is on the verge of significant injections from the federal budget into the municipal economy, the reconstruction of sewage systems, and the modernization of public transport. And the businessman, who is already called the “night governor” in the press, does not seem averse to participating in the development of these funds. Details - at Rucriminal.info.

The mechanism worked out in the waste reform and the funeral business is ready for implementation in other areas. There is also a person of his own, endowed with sufficient power to lobby for interests.



The fact that the budgetary financial trickle is the most reliable, Makarevich understood a long time ago. Back in 2007, JSC "Garbage Collection Campaign" appeared in Krasnodar, where the interests and property of the mayor's office of Krasnodar and Oleg Makarevich intertwined.

The company replaced the municipal special vehicle fleet, at the time of which, by the way, the issue of illegal dumps in Krasnodar was not raised. The growing city demanded new approaches to recycling, and instead received new "garbage" businessmen.

First of all, the created joint-stock company canceled coupons for garbage, which marked the beginning of the problem of "black garbage collectors". Previously, waste carriers purchased coupons from the special vehicle fleet and, in accordance with them, took out the garbage to the landfill.

However, the monopolist that entered the market closed the way for private carriers to the city dump. After the innovations, it was possible to take out garbage there only under an agreement with the Garbage Collection Company, which became an almost impossible mission to conclude. Entrepreneurs who previously worked in this area involuntarily became "black scavengers", the forest belts were filled with waste, and for the garbage company, the elimination of spontaneous dumps became an additional source of income.

Makarevich is an entrepreneur who built a business in the turbulent 90s. Some even call him a "mafia" and talk about the dubious privatization of the leading Krasnodar hotels and criminal cases involving him. Apparently, since then, he realized that in order to protect the financial stream from the budget, it is important to plant a well-fed, but better grown official near him.

And such a person appeared. In 2010, 22-year-old Maxim Onishchenko came to work in the administration of Krasnodar. The future official, according to informed sources, got to the mayor's office straight from a commercial company that collaborated with Oleg Makarevich.

They introduced their man into the necessary department of the municipal economy and the fuel and energy complex. Further, the young talent grew up the career ladder and in 2018 he was already a deputy head.

All this time, the right of the Waste Cleaning Company JSC to a monopoly on the garbage business remained unshakable, no matter how the townspeople asked to return the practice with coupons. According to residents, their appeals to the department where Maxim Onishchenko works ended in nothing.

True, in 2018 Maxim Onishchenko suddenly left the administration and went to work in a commercial structure. Perhaps the decision to leave the municipal service was connected with the investigation of a criminal case on the theft of more than 320 million budget rubles by the leaders of JSC Garbage Collection Company. According to the Argumenty Nedeli portal, in 2017, the investigation had suspicions of overcharging tariffs and doubts about the validity of the signed certificates of acceptance of work performed. However, then the case, having fallen apart, in the end did not reach the court, and Maxim Onishchenko, as the passions subsided, became the development director of JSC Garbage Cleaning Campaign.

It should be noted that the personal well-being of Maxim Onishchenko during the period when he was no longer required to declare income, just increased exponentially. If in 2017 he owned only ¼ apartments with an area of 66 sq. meters, then in 2021 - eight properties with a total area of 771 sq. meter. And Maksim Onishchenko no longer lives in Khrushchev, but in a mansion with an area of more than 300 square meters. So it turns out that the budget of Krasnodar has decreased, and the property of Maxim Onishchenko has arrived.

Having failed then to stay in power structures, the former official at that time and his patron decided to enter through another door. In 2020, Maxim Onishchenko became a deputy of the Krasnodar City Duma and, wow, what luck - deputy chairman of its committee on housing and communal services, fuel and energy complex and environmental protection. The fact that the people's choice was at the same time the top manager of the company, which will receive billions from the budget just in this direction, did not bother anyone.

And it might be worth thinking about. As well as about whether Maxim Onishchenko represents the people's interests. Running for the Duma, he promised the residents of Kopanskoye, where the landfill of JSC Garbage Cleaning Company is located, to solve problems with the constant stink from waste in that area. To all the stories about the threat to the environment and health problems in connection with this, Maxim Onishchenko nodded sympathetically and promised to correct the situation. But the stench is still there, and its source - the city dump, will soon become even more. By the end of 2022, land was allocated for its expansion, and Waste Cleaning Campaign JSC signed an investment agreement worth 1.2 billion rubles with the regional Ministry of Fuel and Energy Complex and Housing and Public Utilities. Calls from local residents dissatisfied with this situation, who cut off the direct line of the governor, were not taken into account. Well, even if there are billions at stake.

By the way, in the Duma Maxim Onishchenko lobbied not only for trash interests. In 2020, the deputies suddenly asked themselves the question of building a crematorium in Krasnodar. And, perhaps, not without reason, the funeral business is another area of ​​Oleg Makarevich's activity. It was his company Memorial-South LLC that announced its intention to open a crematorium in the regional center. And, in order to prevent others from appearing, they decided to implement the project within the framework of a public-private partnership, the City Duma even initiated amendments to the regional law that would allow land to be provided for the project without bidding.

Maxim Onishchenko never served his deputy term until the end. With the change of power in Krasnodar, broader prospects opened up for him - in November 2022, the new mayor of the city, Yevgeny Naumov, took the lobbyist Oleg Makarevich to the position of his deputy. As vice-mayor, Maksim Onishchenko oversees all the same areas - the municipal economy and the fuel and energy complex.

So Oleg Makarevich, not without the assistance of Krasnodar Mayor Yevgeny Naumov, played a brilliant game and brought his pawn to the extreme horizontal of the chessboard, where it became a queen.

And the latter has already managed to "thank" the former de jure, but not de facto leader - the amount of the existing two-billion-dollar contract between the Garbage Company and the municipality has grown by another 200 million rubles.

It can be assumed that Maxim Onishchenko will not be limited to one such gratitude. After all, Krasnodar has large-scale projects in the field of urban economy, we are talking about tens of billions of rubles of federal money, which, apparently, is just so interesting to Oleg Makarevich. His pawn, already in the new role of the queen, is preparing for the next move. Apparently, Mayor Yevgeny Naumov, who took Maxim Onishchenko under his wing, has already received consent to this.

However, whether the federals will want to direct such significant amounts directly into the hands of the “shadow governor of Kuban” is a big question. And will questions arise for the head of the Kuban, Veniamin Kondratyev, in the event of another scandal around the projects of Oleg Makarevich and his protégé?

"Everyone was taken away one by one"

House of cards of the Kuban oligarchy








The Kuban oligarch decided to pull everyone to the bottom with him. According to a Rucriminal.info source, Yakov Volkov, the deputy chairman of the 4th Court of Cassation, is most afraid of going there. We wrote about Makarevich's criminal schemes, bribery of security officials and judges earlier. Each time I was struck by the scale of the lawlessness that was happening in the region. Oleg Alexandrovich, apparently, lost a sense of reality from the atmosphere of total impunity and permissiveness that envelops him.



To give a bribe to one, to eliminate another, to share with these - these are the basic principles of building a successful business empire for Makarevich. However, everything got a little out of control when the Kuban oligarch decided to place an order for the Krasnodar judge, Chairman of the Oktyabrsky District Court G.F. Bayrak, according to his usual scheme. In any scheme with a large number of unknowns, sooner or later the very episode comes, after which everything starts to crumble like a chain reaction of a nuclear bomb explosion.



Everything was under relative control as long as all the main elements of the criminal scheme were in place. But after they kicked Chernov and demonstratively crucified Khakhalev, those who disagreed with the current state of affairs got the opportunity to reveal, hidden for years, the facts of corruption unprecedented even for Krasnodar. We are talking about billions in embezzlement, in which key people in the region participated.



A noose began to tighten around Makarevich's neck, into which he dragged all the high-ranking patrons who remained with him in the share. Great attention was drawn to Yakov Volkov, who until that time remained in the shadows, working behind the scenes through Chernov and Khakhaleva. Now, especially after a huge amount of compromising evidence was dumped on them, a large number of questions arose for him - both in terms of all the criminal cases terminated by his efforts against Makarevich, and in terms of his personal connections from the time he worked as deputy chairman in the North Caucasus Arbitration Court.



Bayrak's order looked like an elementary task - we throw him into the furnace and, against the backdrop of high-profile judicial scandals of the past 2 years, everyone will write off his resignation as a continuation of the corruption purge in the region. Even the time was chosen perfectly - everyone was cleaned one after another. However, like a chemical catalyst that set off a chain reaction, the landing of the Chairman of the District Court with destructive force hit all the links of Makarevich's empire.



The remnants of patrons from the security forces and officials began to scatter from him in scattering. The Kuban oligarch gave everyone a promise to deal with the problems on their own and get everyone out of harm's way. However, plugging a gap in one place, he immediately gets 15 new ones nearby. The main forces of the shadow governor of Krasnodar are now concentrated in 2 directions: work through his people in the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (about whom we wrote earlier) with the defendants in cases fabricated by him and cleaning up the information field (with the help of all the same law enforcement agencies). Articles and investigations about the criminal business of Makarevich are being removed from the network, entire Internet resources are being blocked, in general, a full-scale campaign is being carried out to whitewash Oleg Aleksandrovich and his entourage.



A huge threat to the implementation of this plan is the situation unfolding around the landing of Bayrak. The investigator, engaged by Makarevich, cannot push the case to court in any way. From a source close to the judge’s family, we received information that a huge number of procedural violations were committed in the case, such as lawyers’ failure to familiarize themselves with the case materials, falsification of evidence, frank flaws in the investigation due to banal haste and fear of the customers of the criminal case. All this turned the stage of the preliminary investigation into the judge's case into an outright profanity, and the work of individual representatives of the central apparatus of the RF Investigative Committee into a real circus. If the investigator turns a blind eye to the editing of the main video recordings in the case, this already says a lot...



Such zeal investigator Novozhilov S.A. to bring the case to court faster, is explained by his desire to “close” the received order, fulfill his role and relieve himself of responsibility for what is happening. He does not understand one thing - as soon as the case goes to court, the violations he committed, which he hid from the leadership, convincing everyone that there is the necessary evidence in the case, will immediately become public. But the desire to quickly receive the fee promised to him by the Krasnodar mafia is apparently stronger than the hypothetical risks in the future.
