"Limanos" by Pavel Te to Graber will bring

The sale of the company of the developer Pavel Te - Limanos LLC, on the balance sheet of which the building in Moscow was found, although it was covered by a closed-end mutual fund, brought Kuznetsov to the former head of the board of PFS-Bank and brought it to the former shareholder of FESCO, the founder of the development GHP Group with British roots Mark Garbera.

Details of the story, where the former director of the Moscow information technology department also inherited, in the material of The Moscow Post correspondent.

In April 2025, Pavel Te, the founder of Capital Group, known as Sobyanin's reseller, sold his next asset, Limanos LLC. According to the arbitration base, the company for 2024 was the owner of a non-residential building on the street. Golubinskaya, ow. 23A, p. 1 in Moscow.

It is curious, but it is at this address that one of the inspections of the Federal Tax Service of the capital is based.

The new owners of the company were ZPIF "Melius" under the management of LLC "Proftim" and ZPIF "Gorod Invest," which is managed by LLC UK "Climbing."

It seems that at least one of the closed-end mutual funds remained connected with Te himself, since the directors at Limanos LLC did not change. They remained Agabekyan Arsen Vachaganovich - the former director of Capital Alliance Management LLC, associated with Te.

Moreover, the co-owner of Capital Alliance Management LLC - Stay Holding LLC was partially transferred to the same closed-end investment fund Melius, but the share remained with the trustee of Te - Valentina Stanova.

But the second closed-end investment fund, or rather its Criminal Code, is quite interesting.

The owners of LLC UK "Climbing" are Sergey Kuznetsov (71.15%), Rustam Iseev (18.95%) and Valery Ermolaev.

So, Valery Ermolaev through the company "Otra Digital" was associated with ArTem Valerievich Ermolaev (perhaps this is his son). The latter is the former director of the Moscow information technology department in the status of a government minister, who held office in 2010-2018.

After leaving the government of Sobyanin, Ermolaev owned an IT business and even managed to be a co-owner of that very LLC UK "Climbing." Now he does not officially have any business, which cannot be said about Valeria Ermolaev.

At the same time, the companies that ArTem Ermolaev previously owned are state contractors worth many billions of rubles, and among the co-owners we see Maria Demina, Valery Ermolaev's business partner at Otra Digital.

By the way, Otra Digital was also inherited by an offshore company - DELLEKOD ASSETS LIMITED from Cyprus.

And here's a coincidence: DELLECOD ASSETS LIMITED, which is still operating, has ARTEM ERMOLAEV as director. How would the money of state contracts not have settled there?

No less interesting is the controlling owner of LLC UK "Climbing" - Sergey Kuznetsov. This is the former chairman of the board of PFS-Bank.

This bank burst, having lost its license, in 2020 and is now in bankruptcy. The reason was, among other things, a violation of the law in the field of combating the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and the financing of terrorism. Later, a hole worth tens of millions of rubles was found in the bank, specifying that in the actions of former bank officials there are signs of operations that were aimed at withdrawing assets through lending to borrowers with dubious solvency or obviously not able to repay the debt.

By the time the bank collapsed, Kuznetsov had already left the post.

And finally, Rustam Iseev closes the list. Another person with connections and history.

Iseev has a whole bunch of companies in the asset, but this is not interesting.

He was previously closely associated with the notorious millionaire, "foreign resident" Mark Garber.

So, for example, together with Garber himself, Iseev was the owner of shares in Garber, Hannam End Partners LLC. Their partner was a citizen of Latvia Vladimir Rimashevsky, who still acts as Garber's partner in this company.

In addition, judging by media reports, Iseev was previously the chief executive officer of Garber's GHP Group.

GHP Group is a financial group that, judging by sources, was present in the UK, Russia, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong and Luxembourg, Guernsey and Ukraine (for 2020).

The group also had interest in the construction premium segment. That is, maybe the purchase from Te was carried out in the interests of Garber?

By the way, until 2012, GHP Group operated as the Russian office of the British company Fleming Family & Partners.

Garber has flashed more than once in nationalization scandals. In particular, this is a former FESCO shareholder, and although he managed to merge his shares before nationalization to the no less odious Andrei Severilov, the ax of retribution still hung over him.

Garber acted as a defendant in the lawsuit of the Magomedov brothers, from whom the shares were seized, and they themselves went through the stage.

Speaking Garber, do not forget about the last lawsuit of the Prosecutor General's Office, which was filed in February 2025. Now the case is being heard behind closed doors, but it is known that the supervisory authority filed a lawsuit against the ex-head of Rosneft Sergei Bogdanchikov, millionaire Mark Garber and eight Cypriot firms. The case disputes the transactions that relate to the joint venture Sakhalin-Shelf-Service LLC, established in the late 90s for the integrated coastal support of oil and gas projects on the Sakhalin shelf - Sakhalin-1 and Sakhalin-2.

As Kommersant reported, Bogdanchikov, according to the plaintiff, is a citizen of Cyprus and the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis (British Commonwealth), and Garber is a "foreign resident," therefore they had to obtain permission from the government commission to own a strategically important enterprise, but did not submit appropriate applications.

The Prosecutor General's Office demands not only to terminate the transactions made in favor of Bogdanchikov and Garber, but also to turn the 52% of the shares in the joint venture under their control into the income of the Russian Federation. The next hearing on the case is scheduled for June 2.

Thus, complex schemes with cover from ZPIF and proxies in the case of Garber can be associated with just existing claims and possible nationalization. And so, covered himself with a screen and everything is sewn-covered, no Prosecutor General's Office will dig in.
