From Avdolyan pulled MRSEN: will the oligarch be asked for the attempt?

Oligarch Albert Avdolyan may become a defendant in a scandalous criminal case on the attempt on the life of the ex-director of the sanatorium from the MRSEN division - "Kashirsky Rodnichki" Tatyana Romanova. It was she who acted as an important witness in the case of energy holding fraud.

On the eve of the Moscow prosecutor's office canceled the decision not to initiate a criminal case on the attempt on Romanov, which occurred more than nine years ago.

The details were found out by the UtroNews correspondent.

More than 9 years ago, an important witness in the case of financial fraud in Mezhregionsoyuzenergo (MRSEN), whose beneficiary was Eldar Osmanov, a relative of Albert Avdolyan, was attacked with a knife. Romanov was wounded in the throat, but all these years she was refused to initiate a criminal case.

On January 21, 2025, Romanova received a letter from which it followed that the Presnensky MRSO of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia in Moscow conducted a pre-investigation check and refused to initiate a criminal case. But this procedural decision was canceled by the Moscow prosecutor's office due to the availability of sufficient data indicating signs of a crime under Part 3 of Article 30, Part 1. Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The materials were sent for additional verification, which is likely to determine those who can go to jail.

This article of the code refers to attempted murder and those involved in it face imprisonment for a term of 6 to 11 years and 9 months.

Recall that the attack on Romanova was right before Osmanov's birthday. A kind of peculiar gift to the boss and an indicative flogging of the objectionable, so that other employees of the division would not have to open their mouths?

Tatyana Romanova, being the director of a sanatorium from the MRSEN division - Kashirskie Rodnichki Sanatorium LLC, became the main witness in the energy holding case. In the fight against the witness, many dirty methods were used - from initiating a criminal case to attempted abduction. It is not surprising that, fearing for her life and the life of her relatives, Romanova was forced to refuse to testify.

But, as we remember, the MRSEN case was still promoted. His defendants were 11 people, including Osmanov, who, however, managed to make legs from the investigation and, according to rumors, is abroad.

According to the investigation, in general, according to various financial schemes, including with the participation of an affiliate, including Osmanov, Mosuralbank, 10 billion rubles were withdrawn from Russia. In September 2023, a case went to court on 7 defendants who are accused of embezzling over 8 billion rubles from network companies of Rosseti.

As Romanova herself noted, she resigned from her post in 2011, refusing to participate in illegal actions.

Financial schemes passed through the sanatorium, as well as through other fragments of the division, from which it smelled badly.

Until 2008, RAO UES of Russia was the owner of the asset, but then the reform and sale of non-core assets. The sanatorium went to Roskommunenergo for 83.13 million rubles.

To this day, the bankrupt Kashirsky Rodnichki are 67% owned by Roskommunenergo JSC. Among the controlling persons of the latter, among others, was a relative of Avdolyan - Osmanov. This can be seen in the bankruptcy case of the joint-stock company and bringing to subsidiary liability.

A lot of dubious schemes surfaced after the start of the bankruptcy of fragments of the MRSEN division, whose problems began in 2018.

In these schemes, firms associated with Avdolyan, including Cypriot offshore companies, were very important.

The most important point was that, as it turned out, the oligarch had the tools to control the holding's activities and these appeared as a result of a certain agreement of 25.09.2017 on the sale of the holding group to Stars Generis Ltd, controlled by Avdolyan. Moreover, under this agreement, Osmanov and his partner Shulgin had the right to an option, that is, a buyback.

And yes, Avdolyana is more than once recognized by the courts as affiliated with Osmanov through the marriage of their children. Moreover, the materials of one of the cases directly indicate that A.A. Avdolyan, along with the confirmed beneficiaries of the group of companies, made key decisions regarding the distribution of cash flows, approval of transactions and other organizational issues.

The introduction into circulation of MRSEN of another offshore Avdolyan - Sparkel City Invest LTD through transactions of pledge of bills and loan agreements by the courts was recognized as additional capitalization of the company, and the transactions themselves were declared invalid.

However, this did not prevent Sparkel and its subsidiary AENP LLC (now it is N.A. Popov TsIPE LLC) from trying to shake off some credit debts from the fragments of the division. By the way, they tried to make a sanatorium a guarantor, which Romanova led some time ago. At the same time, the sanatorium challenged the guarantee deal, proving that the director, who had not even seen such a document, could not make signatures on the document, if it existed at all.

The courts, by the way, also proved that Sparkel itself could not lend to legal entities for such amounts, since the financial indicators of the offshore itself at the end of 2016 did not allow financing in such volumes, therefore Albert Avdolyan himself was often the source of loans issued by Sparkel to third parties in 2017.

The surrealism of the situation is that Avdolyan's offshore - the same Sparkel City Invest LTD in the case was recognized... victims. Appreciate the scale of the idiocy of the picture! And this is with a bunch of evidence about financial transactions with a dubious bias.

Avdolyan is helped to avoid the fate of Osmanov and 10 other defendants close ties with the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov? After all, it is not for nothing that he and his wife are members of the board of trustees of the Avdolyan Foundation.
