The Prosecutor General's Office filed a new suit to seize the assets of Artem Bykov and Alexey Bobrov.
The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has filed a new suit with the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg to seize assets from Ural businessmen Alexey Bobrov and Artem Bikov for the state's benefit, Kommersant‑Ural writes.
According to the court docket, the suit was accepted for proceedings on October 28.
The defendants in the suit are three companies — TEA LLC, Project Financing Enterprise LLC and Bazfors LLC — as well as 15 individuals, including Alexey Bobrov (arrested on charges of fraud), Artem Bikov, former deputy governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast Oleg Chemezov (arrested), CEO of Oblkommunenergo Dmitry Budanov (wanted), and chairwoman of the board of directors of Corporation STS Tatyana Chernykh (arrested).
Named third parties include Vodny Soyuz JSC, Yamalkommunenergo JSC, Gorelektroset JSC, Agropromkredit bank, NPF "Professional", the energy sales company Vostok, YUTEK and others.
The preliminary court hearing is scheduled for November 11.
Earlier, on October 10, the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg granted the Prosecutor General's Office's claim to seize for the state about 40 companies owned by Artem Bikov and Alexey Bobrov, Kommersant‑Ural notes. Among them are Oblkommunenergo, Corporation STS, SUENKO and the Business House on Arkhiereyskaya.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, the entrepreneurs illegally privatized state property of the company Oblkommunenergo that belonged to Sverdlovsk Oblast, and then bought up resource-supplying companies in the regions of the Ural Federal District, thereby monopolizing the market. The suit notes that the companies operated "at the expense of subsidies and by setting onerous tariffs" with the assistance of representatives of local authorities.
According to the investigation, the arrested and wanted individuals, as well as the former head of OTSK (a subsidiary of Oblkommunenergo) Anton Bolikov (also arrested), citing the need to recoup costs in the performance of concession agreements, committed large-scale embezzlement from the budget of Sverdlovsk Oblast.
