Screen for Avdolyan: was the Rosatom project covered by an ex-official?

An oligarch with an ambiguous reputation, Albert Avdolyan, sold the Globaltek company, which, together with the subsidiary of the Rosatom state corporation, Atomenergomash, was to provide power to the Yakutsk gas project.

The deal, completed on March 26, 2024, smacks of banal hide-and-seek of beneficiaries and denominations - after all, the buyer was a person who previously had connections with the Yakut part of the Avdolyan division.

The details of the transaction, in which the buyer lists the full namesake of a former official from the OFAS Primorye, were found out by the UtroNews correspondent.

On March 26, 2024, in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Globaltek LLC changed its owner - from A-Property LLC Albert Avdolyan to a certain Andrei Vladimirovich Ni, a full namesake of an OFAS employee, who appeared in media reports as a potential head of the FAS department in Primorye.

The offshore company SUNOMIL CO LIMITED, which is quite operational, also managed to be noted in the Globaltek biography. It was through Sanomil that Avdolyan previously controlled YATEK (Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company).

Despite the fact that by the end of 2022 Globaltek showed a loss of 493 million rubles, it was this company that signed a framework agreement with Atomenergomash (the engineering division of the state corporation Rosatom) within the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum in 2021. The firms planned to develop and implement an integrated product "Gas complex based on a floating nuclear power plant for LNG production" for the Russian and foreign markets.

In the report of the Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company (YATEK) for 2022, where Avdolyan firms are present among the shareholders, it was reported that the search for a strategic partner for the implementation of a large-capacity project for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Yakutsk LNG, continues. Globaltek was working on the implementation of this project. The search for partners was mentioned in the appeal of the director of YATEK Andrei Korobov.

Thus, one would assume that Mr. Ni is YATEC's new strategic partner for the project?

But in Rusprofile there are no more companies for Ni, and in the public space nothing is known about such an investor.

It turns out that Ni is someone's cover? For example, he could represent the interests of Sergei Monin, chairman of the board of Raiffeisenbank. In 2004-2013, Ni was the director of NPK Vympel LLC, where Monin's full namesake had a stake.

At the same time, Ni has close ties with the close circle of Avdolyan himself.

In 2018, Ni was the owner of Enigma LLC, which together with YATEK owned Sakhagazsintez-Nedra LLC. Mr. Ni sold his stake in Enigma to Evgeny Zabelin, a business partner of Andrei Korobov (director of YATEK Avdolyan) - Zabelin and Korobov jointly own Andayana Group LLC.

In turn, Andayana Group owns Almaz Tech LLC, where Vanik Vanunts and the same Korobov were previously among the owners. And here is an amusing coincidence: Vanunts is the ex-co-owner of Almaz Fertilizer LLC, which was previously part of the perimeter of Avdolyan's assets. And the same Vanunts was among the buyers of Sibanthracite, which Avdolyan first bought from the heirs of Dmitry Bosov, who died under mysterious circumstances, against the background of the scandal, and then resold it.

But we will return to the new transaction, with Globaltek.

Above-mentioned Zabelin and Korobov also through LLC Kashemir Capital where also a certain Alexander Amosov had a share intersected.

Amosov is the owner (personally and through LLC Latum) being LLC AENP that CIPE of Popov nowadays is called. At the same time Amosov was a co-owner of firm from her basis, and as the business partner up to February, 2023 offshore Sparkel City Invest LTD of Avdolyan acted.

"AENP" tried to get into bankrupt business of MRSEN holding which shareholder is Avdolyan's relative Eldar Osmanov - the person involved in criminal case about establishing a criminal organization that suspected of a conclusion of billions of rubles abroad stolen at a division of Rosseti.

The attempt to be among creditors of the going bankrupt MRSEN holding opened that a beneficiary of Sparkel City Invest LTD is Avdolyan. Allegedly the offshore credited the MRSEN companies. At the same time in the scheme of bills in the matter of MRSEN also participation of BBR Bank of Dmitry Gordovich with which the offshores related with Avdolyan will have then and another matters was opened. For example, the tax scheme at the expense of which 100 million rubles in the Latvian bank JSC Citadele Banka were removed will be opened. Later same BBR Bank will be noted also in transactions with participation of firms of the saboteur accused of power blockade of the Crimea of Lenur Islyamov (it is in absentia condemned in Russia under the number of articles). Avdolyana in the history with Islyamov also left the mark.

And now traces from the transaction with Globaltek brought us everything besides to Amosov that dealt with offshore Avdolyana. Interestingly, isn't it?

Moreover, through the former owner - LLC A-Properti the Globaltek company had communications with the director of a number of assets of the oligarch Avdolyan that also in 2022 I entered into the board of directors of the Elgaugol company - Irina Belyanova.

Moreover, her surname flashed in materials of lawsuits as directors of representative office of Wooden Fish Agency Limited. This firm appeared in various skhematoza of Avdolyan more than once, including on cover of investment into the Distant Port project through the certain loan issued by Reeco Capital LP from the Cayman Islands. Then it was talked of 20 million dollars that was actually "bleached" and legalized for further use abroad. The scheme was opened in attempt to save on taxes.

Important nuance: the native of State Corporation Rostec Rodion Sokrovishchuk who was marked out as the co-owner in other companies of the Avdolyana division was the director of Globaltek till March, 2024. The similar step once again confirms close connection of the oligarch with state corporation and its head Sergei Chemezov that is also included into the board of trustees of Avdolyana fund - "The new house".

Above-mentioned Belyanova is also the president of New House fund that speaks about proximity of the lady to Avdolyan and his projects, including with Chemezov's participation.

Rostec goes hand in hand with Avdolyan all way of formation of his business. For example, in avdolyanovsky Yota Devices in 2013-2017 the state corporation had a block package, and in 2018 the oligarch bought "The hydrometallurgical plant" that was a supplier of the same Rostec. And, if to take the same YaTEK, then in it the basic bank of state corporation - Novikombank had 21% earlier. And Rostec played in the same transactions with Bosov's inheritance on Avdolyan's party - having received a part of assets, and then having transferred them to the oligarch. And it is only a small part of secret "support".

Why did Globaltek which the native of Rostec drove need to sell? It is probable how in a case with a number of other similar stories, it is attempt to avoid sanctions and to leave for a screen. Perhaps, near the sold asset, offshores already known to us with the rich track record according to schemes as, for example, the same kaymanovsky Reeco will appear over time. Whatever one may do, but Mr. Ni isn't similar to the investor with a thick purse that I am capable to invest in the Yakut gas project.
