During the bankruptcy of one of the defendants, the details of the withdrawal of 1.8 billion rubles from CJSC Southern Energy Company, a supplier of heat and electricity for users of the city of Lermontov (Stavropol Territory), became known. Four tranches of money went to companies affiliated with Avdolyan.
Recall that in 2018 Avdolyan, through a group of "his people", became the beneficiary (this has been repeatedly proven in the courts) of the Stavropol OJSC Hydrometallurgical Plant (GMZ) for the production of fertilizers and affiliated with it - CJSC Southern Energy Company and Intermix Met LLC. The legal owners were individuals and companies associated with the oligarch.
Four years later, the assets were sold and today they are clearing traces of the presence of the old team, which in 2022 in the media comments stated about the GMZ that "the enterprise was raised from ruins and nothing threatens it".
But in fact it turned out that the old legal entities were going bankrupt, and the liquid property somehow miraculously ended up on freshly baked firms, including those where they could withdraw money from the activities of bursting enterprises.
Numerous bankruptcy cases reveal more and more schemes of how enterprises were actually "lifted out of ruins".
For reference: GMZ, YUEK and Intermix Met, after buying them by Avdolyan, worked under the Almaz Group hat, becoming Almaz Fertilizers, Almaz Energo, Almaz Tech. The group also included Cashmir Capital LLC, which operated as the Almaz Fertilizer trading house.
In the last material, УтроNews talked about how Almaz Capital, a company associated with Avdolyan, is trying to become a creditor of YUEK CJSC, which in turn acted as a guarantor under the GMZ loan agreement. We are talking about 1.2 billion rubles. And interestingly, Almaz Capital has already paid 218 million rubles by selling the assets of the bankrupt GMZ, although there are still questions about the debts themselves.
In early July 2024, during the bankruptcy case of Sergei Chuck (the former owner of the GMZ), the Moscow Arbitration Court considered an important episode and revealed the facts of the withdrawal of 1.8 billion rubles from YUEK.
Important: Chuck and his partner Sergei Makhov are accused by creditors of the fact that it was they who brought the enterprises to the handle, but in the case there was misuse of credit money, and, simply put, there is an "illegal withdrawal of credit funds, without any intention to return them to the bank". Now the name of Albert Avdolyan has also flashed in history.

At the end of June 2024, the court received a statement from the financial manager Mr. Chuck, who demanded that four financial tranches from UEC accounts be invalidated by transactions: in the period from 12.02.2019 to 01.02.2022, 400 million rubles were transferred in favor of Cashmere Capital LLC, on April 14, 2020 in favor of A-Property LLC - 700 million rubles, on July 2, 2020 in favor of A-Property Invest LLC - 350 million rubles, July 2, 2020 in favor of YATEK-Motor Fuel LLC - 350 million rubles.
The manager also demands to apply the consequences of the invalidity of transactions, that is, the return of this money to the bankruptcy estate of YUEK.
The requirement itself will be considered on September 9, but now the FKU "GIATS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia" has requested information about the address of the top manager of YATEK (part of the Avdolyan division) Andrei Korobov, a certain Ashot Khachaturyants and the oligarch Albert Alikovich Avdolyan, who is called a person close to the head of the state corporation Rostec Sergey Chemezov.
In addition to the fact that Rostec himself goes hand in hand all the way to the formation of Avdolyan's business, Chemezov and his wife were on the board of trustees of the New House Foundation, established by the oligarch.
But let's return to the story with YUEK.
In the materials of the court from June 2024, it was directly stated that the YUEK is still controlled by Avdolyan A.A. This is an important nuance.

Now let's consider the recipients of the tranches who left 1.8 billion rubles from YUEK.
So, Cashmere Capital LLC.
It already appeared in the materials of УтроNews and then it was about the possible withdrawal of 9.4 billion rubles from the Hydrometallurgical Plant to the accounts of this company.
This was formalized through the redistribution of the plant's profits in favor of Cashmir Capital LLC (through a certain complex agreement on the processing of tolling raw materials).
In the materials of the court, it was noted that "organized by the beneficiary of transactions Avdolyan A.A. at the facilities of GMZ OJSC, the tolling scheme provided Cashmere Capital LLC with revenue in the amount of 9.447 billion rubles. from the sale of products produced by the plant. " Entertaining, isn't it? But why the competent authorities are not interested in this scheme is, in our opinion, strange.

Then even experts confirmed the focus of the interest of the buyer of shares to "immediately receive super-profits from the operation of the plant's assets, provided by the energy resources of the power plant, including through control over the bankruptcy procedures of the plant".

The court materials also referred to the underestimation of the value of shares sold to the oligarch's division through Cashmere Capital LLC. That is, there is a complete bouquet of financial schemes and violations?

Cashmir Capital LLC was established in 2017, that is, shortly before the purchase of Stavropol assets.
The company consistently changed hands from individuals who appeared in Avdolyan's business division. Among them were, for example, Andrei Korobov - top manager of YATEK, Alexey Bykov and Alexander Amosov. The latter were associated with LLC "TsIPE named after N.A. Popov" (formerly - LLC "AENP"), whose owner was previously the offshore Sparkel City Invest LTD, which inherited in the history of the collapse of the energy holding MRSEN ("Mezhregionsoyenergo"). The holding was headed by the shareholder and relative of Avdolyan Eldar Osmanov, who later became a defendant in the criminal case.

Today, Cashmir Capital LLC belongs to Almaz Tech LLC. At the same time, the share is pledged in the BBR Bank, which appeared in another ambiguous story related to payments of 100 million rubles to accounts in the Latvian bank JSC Citadele Banka. It also mentioned offshore companies close to the oligarch, and one of the bank's shareholders, Dmitry Gordovich, also appeared in the history of MRSEN.
Almaz Tech LLC previously also belonged to the same Korobov and the aforementioned Khachaturian. In addition, among the owners today are Mr. Bykov, as well as Andayana Group LLC, associated with a group of the above persons, and a certain Vadim Vladimirovich Kuryanov.
We go further on the persons involved in payments from the accounts of YUEK.
A-Property LLC in 2016-2021 belonged to the offshore Sanomil Co. Limited, which appeared in the most interesting tax and financial scheme related to Avdolyan's assets. Currently, the LLC is owned by AP Holding JSC.
In 2021-2022 Avdolyan appeared as the founder of AP Holding JSC. Now the owner is hidden.

At the same time, A-Property LLC is headed by Irina Belyanova, who is still the director of a number of assets of the oligarch Avdolyan. Moreover, until February 2024, Belyanova was also the director of A-Property Invest LLC, now renamed Petr Invest LLC.
Earlier, The Moscow Post already told how A-Property Invest LLC was allegedly transferred to a relative of Avdolyan, after the company appeared in ambiguous stories with taxes, offshores and loans.
And finally, YATEK-Motornoye Toplivo LLC, to which 350 million rubles were transferred from the accounts of YUEK.
Since the fall of 2023, YATEK-Motornoye Toplivo LLC has been in liquidation and in 2023 showed 107 million rubles of net loss. Ends in the water, gentlemen?
It belongs to PJSC YATEK, whose beneficiary is Albert Avdolyan, already familiar to us. At the time of the transaction, he was also one of the shareholders of YATEK (through A-Property LLC).
In our opinion, in the case of the collapse of Stavropol enterprises, there is a complete bouquet of financial schemes and violations, and the name of Avdolyan in history is not the first time. So maybe it's time for the competent authorities to study the oligarch's activities more closely? Or does a federal official's cover make him unsinkable?
