Sergey Maslov Development Corporation has been detained. Arrested General Director of the Development Corporation Sergey Maslov decorated his estate with Dali sculptures and Shishkin's canvases

The leaders of the Development Corporation, Sergey Maslov and Vladimir Karamanov, will be under arrest until November 30. This decision was made on October 21 by the Leninsky Court of Rostov-on-Don.

Vladimir Karamanov is the deputy head of Sergey Maslov's company. It is noted that the detainees' offices and homes were searched.

As previously reported, a criminal case was initiated against Sergei Maslov on the fact of embezzlement of more than 1 billion rubles through the Narodny Credit bank. According to the investigation, Maslov, together with his deputy, colluded with the bank's management before revoking the organization's license and placed there funds belonging to the Development Corporation, which were subsequently stolen. Political scientist, head of the Center for the Study of Social Applied Problems Alexander Zhilin comments:

“What we are witnessing now is in my opinion and this is my deep conviction - this is still a struggle of clans, because I don’t see such a strict targeted fight against corruption. I will give an elementary example: a Rostov journalist, Colonel Alexander Mikhailovich Tolmachev, responded to the president's call to fight corruption. With an open visor, he went to the werewolves in Rostov in court, in the police, etc. It ended up that he was thrown into the "Khrushchev" and given 9 years, not a single accusation was proved. Here is the fight against corruption in Russia. Yes, the clans are fighting, because the situation is changing both in Russia and in the world too. The world will be reformatted from the point of view of the interests of the global oligarchy, global finance, so there is a struggle inside Russia, in Ukraine, wherever there are such large structures that make it possible not only to earn, but to be afloat, what is called integration into this global oligarchic world.

Therefore, here, in my opinion, this competition led to the fact that they were arrested so seemingly hastily, although how much before that it was said that there was corruption, etc. And no one reacted to it. Let us recall the examples of corruption of governors who had a billion in cash in their apartments. Everyone knew about it, but for some reason they were not touched. I sometimes get the impression that in Russia corruption is the main bond of the vertical of power in order to maintain its loyalty and manageability. And here we are talking about big money and, of course, fierce competition, and administrative resources are involved as well. But, unfortunately, the administrative resource also has a price, so we observe what we observe. It's all sad. If, in fact, specific people were removed and corruption stopped tomorrow, this could be welcomed, but we know that others will come to replace it, nothing fundamentally will change.”

Who bothers Maslov?

They know in the embassy.

Exactly four years ago, Alexander Beletsky, then head of the Corporation for Development OJSC, took to heart an article by the Uralinformburo entitled "Jump from the Bridge." It was dedicated to the construction of a bridge across the Nadym River.

This important facility in Yamal should become part of the Northern Latitudinal Movement, with which experts associate the strengthening of Russia's position in the Arctic. The Development Corporation is responsible for the construction of the bridge with a length of 1,334 meters. In 2011, Mostostroy-12 LLC, controlled by Alexander Zabarsky, a Tyumen businessman with Russian-Israeli citizenship, received a contract for the automotive segment, estimated at 14 billion rubles, under suspicious circumstances.

In January 2012, Timofey Pavlyuchenko, director of the Department of Construction and Transport of the Development Corporation, wrote a statement addressed to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, in which he announced the discovery of the fact that Mostostroy-12 LLC was registered in the amount of 120 million rubles. At the same time, in his opinion, Alexander Beletsky made efforts to ensure that information about this did not leak anywhere. But it was published by "Uralinformburo".

As it turned out later, Beletsky was nervous for good reason. In the summer of 2013, Sergey Maslov replaced him as CEO. He began his work with an audit of the activities of the previous team on the use of funds from the Corporation's shareholders, which are the subjects of the "Tyumen matryoshka".

The Nadym bridge became the first link in the cleansing of the "Augean stables". After studying the reports of Mostostroy-12 LLC and a large-scale examination, the Corporation refused to pay more than 2 billion rubles to the general contractor due to shortcomings and technological violations. The conflict ended in litigation and the removal of Zabarsky's company from the construction site. The bridge was completed in an accelerated mode by Mostostroy-11, which won an additional competition.

The passage of vehicles across the bridge was opened in September 2015, essentially removing the transport blockade of Nadym. Up to this point, the movement went through the ferry or along the winter road.

The paradox is that the bridge has been built, but the shareholders are in no hurry to pay for it. This is one of the important features of the Development Corporation. There are no federal or private funds in it. Only the money contributed to the share capital by the founders - the Tyumen region, Yamal, Yugra. Through their representatives on the Supervisory Board, the regions of the "Tyumen Matryoshka" control the activities of the Corporation and its management.

An interesting detail. Prior to Maslov's arrival, money literally flowed into the Corporation. Alexander Beletsky "signed" the governors for billions of rubles through an additional issue of shares. At the same time, he created an intricate network of "daughters" of the Corporation, which made it possible to bypass the procedure for coordinating serious expenses with the Supervisory Board, which is traditionally headed by a high-ranking employee of the presidential envoy's office in the Ural Federal District.

Maslov's team has been unraveling the money transfer system for more than a year. By the way, "Uralinformburo" long before that told about how, under Beletsky, previously used turbines were purchased for 1.6 billion rubles for the Polyarnaya TPP being built in Yamal. Pure water scam on which the group individuals millions of dollars were made, and the 330 million euro loan scandal at a Czech bank that sources say was the subject of high-level government-to-government talk that the Kremlin was not comfortable with.

The construction of this power plant was approved by the Supervisory Board of the Corporation, and the government of Yamal gave guarantees. But only under Maslov it became clear that no one needed the Polyarnaya TPP in Salekhard! On wholesale market electricity 1 kW / h to supply the Yamal capital can be bought for 1 ruble. And the cost of electricity at Polyarnaya, which has not been built for four years, will exceed 3 rubles. More precisely, they knew about this even under Beletsky, but for some reason they preferred to remain silent and throw money into the wind, which blew in the right direction.

In general, the long-term observation of the "Corporation for Development" (since its inception under the name "Ural Industrial - Ural Polar Corporation") gives reason to say that this pro-state idea of ​​the first plenipotentiary of the President of Russia in the Ural Federal District Petr Latyshev at a certain stage of implementation turned into a generator the well-being of those who successfully "leaned" against it. The late police general, who sincerely advocated for economic development federal district, I could not imagine what budget expenditures Beletsky's team would manage. If not for the arrival of Sergey Maslov to the Corporation, then, most likely, where these billion-dollar streams flowed, it would have remained a mystery.

If you believe insider information, Alexander Zabarsky was angered not even by the removal of his "Mostostroy-12" from the Nadymsky bridge, but by Maslov's reasonable demand to return to the Corporation 4 billion rubles transferred during the time of Beletsky for the construction of a railway siding, which in fact had already been built long before that . The businessman had to return the money - and Maslov made a serious enemy in his face, behind which high-ranking officials are visible.

And then I remember how three years ago, when Maslov was appointed head of the Corporation for Development, "messengers" with wads of dollars came to the Yekaterinburg media, offering to publish articles about the new general director. Judging by what was published, Maslov was a very wealthy man. And there was only one conclusion - the case of the sybarite Beletsky, who flew exclusively on a private business jet, to develop budget billions from the treasury of the "Tyumen matryoshka" will be continued. But reality has belied the predictions.

Now the "messengers" have reappeared.

Those who sent them again have a desire to "merge" Maslov. Because he not only returned the billions of withdrawn rubles to the Corporation, but also did not give his ill-wishers even the slightest reason to be suspected of emptying the state treasury. It was on Alexander Beletsky during his directorship that the journalists had compromising evidence, which only multiplied many times during the revision of the Corporation. At the end of last year, according to insiders, Alexander Samvelovich was even detained by the security forces when flying from Russia abroad. And they asked questions about the Polyarnaya thermal power plant and the Nadymsky bridge.

A what is on Maslova? Raise the Internet - empty.

In fact, it is not surprising that Sergey Maslov did not pocket anything while heading the Corporation. He is akin to Pyotr Latyshev, who is still remembered in the Urals with great respect. The general put things in order in the Ural Federal District for eight years and worked tirelessly for one salary. After him, in the embassy, ​​alas, no one works like that.

The question is - who gave him the authority to decriminalize the Development Corporation? Probably not its shareholders. They only voted for the candidacy proposed by the presidential envoy's office. It can be said with certainty that the viceroy of the head of state, Igor Kholmanskikh, was unfamiliar with Maslov until "X hour". And then there is only one answer - it was delegated by the Kremlin.

In this case, the question of the further task for Maslov will now be decided there. If the state budget can invest billions in the Northern Latitudinal Railway, then the best curator of this project, in which Russian Railways and Gazprom will try to lobby their corporate interests, is hard to find. Leaving Maslov simply to "steer" with the governors about how much budget funds and for what they will invest in the Corporation, there is no reason. The heads of the constituent entities of the Federation included in the "Tyumen matryoshka" have lost so much mutual language with each other, that Vladimir Putin had to accept that the governors of the budget-supporting Yamal and Yugra became "younger" than the head of the Tyumen region, as was already the case under Yeltsin.

So the question is not in Maslov, as, in particular, the Yekaterinburg icteric tabloid is trying to present, in the fate of which Beletsky and his friend, the governor, took part. The entire "Corporation of Development" is at stake, as a backbone business structure of the Urals Federal District.

I personally know Sergei Vladimirovich Maslov.

Therefore, it is very important for me to convey the information in a truthful aspect, against the backdrop of the persecution that has begun against the General Director of the Development Corporation. I have been monitoring the topic of the Northern Latitudinal Movement with interest for a long time. "Matryoshka" Komarov - Yakushev - Kobylkin threw too much budgetary funds during the reign of Beletsky. Now they bounce. Industrial Urals Polar Urals did not live up to expectations. The saw began to float. And with regard to wealth ... Sergei Vladimirovich also invested in this project. Please note that he is a businessman, not a civil servant. He always had money, a sufficient amount. He is an effective crisis manager. Rigid and incorruptible. The persecution that has begun in the media has a basis. There are too many skeletons in the wardrobes of Siberian state employees. Residents of the district openly accuse Komarov of failing seven social projects, started by the ex-governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug A.V. Filippenko. Organized a collection of signatures for a petition sent to the President of the Russian Federation. There just isn't enough money in the budget! In Surgut, Karl! The richest district in Russia. Because the budget is withdrawn to the industrial Urals Polar Urals.

Well, don't plant governors, really!

General Director of the Development Corporation Sergey Maslov and his first deputy Vladimir Karamanov, who were detained the day before in the Arkhangelskoye cottage village near Moscow, will remain under arrest until November 30. As well as the chairman of the board of directors of RITC-bank Dmitry Khasanov and an employee of the bank Elmira Miloserdova. The investigation suspects the leaders of the Development Corporation of embezzling more than 1 billion rubles. The criminal case was initiated under Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - “appropriation Money».

All four defendants have already been transferred to Rostov-on-Don, since the case was initiated by the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Rostov region.

In addition to the detention in "Arkhangelsk" (an elite village, which is decorated, in particular, with a sculpture by Salvador Dali himself - the author's copy of the famous "Rhinoceros"), searches took place at 30 addresses, including the office of JSC "Development Corporation" in Bolshoy Savvinsky Lane in Moscow, apartments and country houses of the suspects.

Bankruptcy will write it all off

The investigation has already outlined a preliminary scheme, according to which, apparently, the money of the Development Corporation and the People's Credit Bank was withdrawn to the side. In 2013 Sergey Maslov And Vladimir Karamanov, having enlisted the support of the management of OJSC Bank Narodny Kredit, placed in the bank a billion-odd rubles belonging to the corporation. At the same time, all participants in the transaction knew that the bank was on the verge of revoking its license - and they counted on this, withdrawing money to the accounts of fictitious organizations on fictitious grounds. The missing money belonged to the Russian regions - the shareholders of the Development Corporation and were allocated for the implementation of the investment project "Ural Industrial - Ural Polar".

At the same time, the investigation suspects that the million stolen from the Development Corporation is not the only one. Top management could, acting on the same patterns, place money in other problem banks- which means that in the course of the investigation the amount of damage can increase significantly.

In Rostov, the arrested four will join the company of persons already accused of embezzlement from the same bank. This is a friend of Sergei Maslov, ex-Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation and the owner of Narodny Kredit Stanislav Svetlitsky, deputy chairman Irina Pereverzeva, Director of security Nikolai Molotilkin, accountant Maya Nyushkova. All of them are accused of embezzlement of more than 10 billion rubles (despite the fact that as of July 1, according to the Deposit Insurance Agency, Narodny Kredit's debt to its clients exceeded 20 billion rubles).

I am not me, and the yacht is not mine

In principle, the CEO of the Development Corporation could have stayed out of the sight of law enforcement agencies for a long time if it were not for the story of the 70-meter motor yacht Victoria (project A1331), which was built for more than 10 years on special order at the Italian shipyard International Shipyards Ancona. The co-owner of the shipyard, according to some reports, is a friend of Sergei Maslov, and, after 2013, the general director of the Corporation, such as Znak.com, visited the shipyard several times (alone and with his wife), meeting with designers and contractors. Maslov himself claims that he has nothing to do with the construction of the Victoria - the official customer for the construction of the yacht is Julesburg Corp., which is registered in an offshore zone in the British Virgin Islands. However, when there were difficulties with payment (Julesburg Corp. did not pay off with the Baltic Sevmash, where the yacht's hull was built), and a little later, when the yacht was damaged during transportation to Turkey and claims about this were sent to the Kaliningrad branch of the Ingosstrakh company, which insured risks, name CEO"Corporations of development" began to be mentioned more and more often. As Znak.com writes, “in November last year, a request was sent to Ingosstrakh signed by him, in which he, as a representative of the customer, asked to familiarize him with the insurer’s report on the discovery of deformation of the yacht’s hull.” The amount of damage is not named, but the approximate scale can be estimated: the vessel of this class itself costs 40-50 million euros.

On this topic

There was not enough money not only to pay the Baltic contractor, but also for insurance premiums: the insurance premium was 92.5 thousand euros with a quarterly payment, Ingosstrakh received only one tranche of this money and unilaterally terminated the contract.

Villa with Rhino view

The Rhinoceros, mentioned at the beginning of the story, is not the only remarkable detail of the estate in Arkhangelskoye. The walls of the residence of the CEO of the Development Corporation are reportedly decorated with paintings Ivan Shishkin and other famous Russian painters, a separate room is reserved for a collection of exclusive watches (there are, in particular, Piaget watches encrusted with diamonds worth 100 thousand dollars); in the safes that were found behind the racks with shoes - about the same amount in cash. In the garage - "Bentley", "Maybach" and two rare "Mercedes".

Arrested together with Sergey Maslov, his first deputy, Vladimir Karamanov, was also detained in a cottage settlement - in the Petrovo-Dalny area on Novorizhskoye highway. He also has dual citizenship (Russia and Austria) and real estate abroad, and law enforcement officers also found a large amount of cash and a collection of jewelry in the mansion.

At the same time, as the special services specify, Arkhangelskoye is not the only property owned by the Corporation's general director. He also has several apartments in Moscow and real estate abroad (Maslov has two citizenships, Russian and Swiss).

Both collecting picturesque masterpieces and building a yacht are beautiful, but expensive pleasure. Perhaps Sergey Maslov chose a hobby beyond his means. More precisely, he did not correlate his career changes and financial opportunities. In the early 2000s, he was president of the Transnefteprodukt company, and in 2008 he headed the St. Petersburg International Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange. His salary, already at the post of general director of the Development Corporation, in 2014 was, as Maslov himself said at a meeting with Tyumen deputies, 1 million rubles. Despite the fact that the annual income of the corporation was 114 million, it took 140 million for management expenses. In 2013, management expenses amounted to 291 million on revenue of 193 million. This complex arithmetic, apparently, will now also be rechecked by the competent authorities.

Development Corporation, main office which is located in Yekaterinburg, acts as the legal successor of the corporation "Ural Industrial - Ural Polar". The project, which began back in the 2000s, was originally supposed to deal with a large-scale infrastructure that captures the north of the Urals and the southern industrial territories. However, after the death of the initiator, the presidential plenipotentiary in the Urals Federal District Petra Latysheva, the structure was reorganized and began to be used as an investment tool. The shareholders of the Development Corporation, according to the Spark database, are the administrations of the Tyumen region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and YNAO; The "Corporation" also owns several companies registered in KhMAO, YaNAO, Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg. The Board of Directors of the Development Corporation includes the Deputy Plenipotentiaries of the President in the Ural Federal District Boris Kirillov And Alexander Moiseev.

Why was the CEO of the Development Corporation arrested and who is next?

This year the Development Corporation (formerly Industrial Urals - Polar Urals) turns 10 years old. The anniversary date is marked by the spent 30 billion rubles, the lack of implemented projects and the arrest of CEO Sergei Maslov.

On October 20, 2016, Sergey Maslov, General Director of the Development Corporation (Industrial Urals - Polar Urals), was detained and taken under arrest. The same fate befell his deputy Vladimir Karmanov. Top managers are charged under Part 4 of Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (misappropriation or embezzlement on an especially large scale). According to investigators, the accused withdrew at least 1 billion rubles offshore. It's about on the funds placed by the Corporation with Narodny Kredit Bank in the summer of 2013. In November 2014, People's Credit lost its license from the Central Bank and the money was lost. But the law enforcement agencies seemed otherwise. According to investigators, 1 billion rubles was withdrawn offshore. The amount of damage caused to the state, as well as the list of defendants in the case, will obviously increase.

CEO of the Development Corporation Sergey Maslov

"Stole Industrial - Stole Polar"

The leading role here obviously belongs to Maslov. The current CEO of the Corporation for Development is widely known for "failed" investments and management decisions. These “failures” have yet to be dealt with by the investigating authorities. In fairness, we note that Maslov only continued the established tradition. It is no coincidence that the inhabitants of the Urals have long given the Kyrgyz Republic a different name - "Stole Industrial - Stole Polar".

The decision to create the Ural Industrial - Ural Polar project was made by President Vladimir Putin on May 16, 2005. The main task was to ensure economic accessibility and expediency of involving the mineral resources of the Subpolar and Polar Urals into the Urals. industrial production. On August 30, 2006, OJSC "Corporation Ural Industrial - Ural Polar" was established to manage the project and synchronize all its processes. By 2012, the project was renamed the Development Corporation, in July 2015 a decision was made to change the form of ownership. The company was renamed into Development Corporation JSC.

Thus, the construction of the bridge across the Nadym was started during the time of the previous head of the corporation, Alexander Beletsky. Initially, the project contractor was Mostostroy-12. Construction has been underway since 2011, but only in 2014, when the facility was 75% ready, did the corporation become interested in the quality of the work being done. It immediately became clear that the bridge was built from low-quality building materials according to an unapproved project. Nadymsky bridge was an excellent opportunity for Maslov to create an impeccable reputation against the backdrop of Beletsky's dubious decisions. As a result, the contract with Mostostroy-12 was terminated. The tender for the completion of the long-suffering construction was won by Mostostroy-11, controlled by the Rotenbergs, which completed the construction in 2015.

The corporation hastened to announce the first major completed project, forgetting about the never built railway part of the bridge. However, the automobile part did not please the residents of Yamal for long: this summer the bridge was heavily washed away by heavy rains, part of the fences were destroyed. So was it worth it to "change horses at the crossing"? In addition, the first tender for the completion of the bridge, won by Mostostroy-11, was declared illegal by the court, which only delayed the construction. Let's add to this the legally incompetently terminated contract with Mostostroy-12, thanks to which the former contractor has a real chance to recover 1.8 billion rubles from the Development Corporation for completed, but not accepted works. Given the gigantic cost of the bridge (14 billion rubles), the “Pyrrhic victory” of Sergei Maslov cost the budget too much.

Although under Maslov, the Ural regions faced the threat of much greater losses. The most bitter loss threatens to be the Polyarnaya TPP, which may come under the control of the Czech Republic. The construction of the thermal power plant began in 2011, and it was planned to launch it in two years. Now the investment project is frozen. Only a few driven piles at the construction site remind of the future TPP. Together with the promises of a brighter future, 10.7 billion rubles, issued by the Czech Export Bank under the guarantees of the YNAO government, were dissolved in the corporation.

The fact that the curator of the quartz project " Energy company UP-UP" ​​is 75% owned by Galileo Investments SA (Luxembourg), leaves no chance of returning money to the treasury. It is possible that in the current economic situation the region will not be able to repay the loan, and the promising project will be completed by Czech investors, who will control the entire energy sector of Yamal.

A similar fate is with the Polar Quartz plant, designed to become an advanced production of quartz concentrates based on nanotechnology. The construction of the plant began in 2003. Six years later, the Industrial Urals - Polar Urals became interested in capital-intensive production. Already at that time, almost all the property of the State Unitary Enterprise "Polar Quartz" was pledged. UP-UP, which entered the project in 2011, only exacerbated the situation. Five years later, Polar Quartz was never completed and again needed investment. It is up to the investigating authorities to estimate the total amount of funds “disbursed” under the project.

Father's daughters"

Imitation of vigorous activity in the Kyrgyz Republic was carried out due to the huge number of subsidiaries. The number of "daughters" significantly exceeds the number of corporation projects. Formally, the companies were engaged in financing and current management of the projects assigned to them. The real role of subsidiaries is clearly seen in the example of the purchase of the Chelyabinsk Poultry Farm in 2014.

Such an unexpected choice for investment immediately caused a lot of controversy. Among projects in the field of energy and manganese processing, the poultry farm looks at least curious. Meanwhile, the Development Corporation paid for it not at all funny money - 1.4 billion rubles. A year later, the company was sold with a profit of 300 million rubles, which they hastened to declare a successful deal. The key role in this was played by the “daughters” of the Kyrgyz Republic. To whom exactly luck smiled, in the Kyrgyz Republic they did not specify then.

So, in 2014, the Chelyabinsk Poultry Farm was bought by a subsidiary of the corporation, the Ovomir company. A year later, Ovomir sells the agricultural asset of the Yugorskaya Industrial Corporation (YIPK) for 1.7 billion rubles. However, under the terms of the transaction, the proceeds from the sale were to be transferred to the accounts of another “daughter” of the Kyrgyz Republic - “ construction company Development". The closing of the transaction surprisingly coincided with the enforcement proceedings against the Razvitie Construction Company. The parties deferred payments. Enforcement proceedings ended successfully, and the company's account was not replenished. After investigators requested financial documents"Ovomira", the press service of the corporation hastily announced that it received funds from the SPC in full. In this regard, the fate of the poultry farm itself is also interesting. The enterprise was resold several times, eventually becoming the property of the Orion company. The owner of Orion turned out to be the first deputy general director of the Development Corporation for Economics and Finance Pavel Kadushin.

Self-development corporation

Where did all these billions flow from unbuilt factories, roads and bridges? The best answer is the hobbies of the CEOs of the Development Corporation. Sergey Maslov combined the position of the corporation's CEO with the work of a representative of KPM INVEST LIMITED (British Virgin Islands). Thus, he violated Art. 17 federal law"On the State Civil Service", which prohibits civil servants from engaging in entrepreneurial activities.

Maslov treats the laws of other countries with the same disdain. Getting into the taste beautiful life, he ordered a luxury yacht "1331 Victoria (ex Baltika)". Initially, the Estonian company Vegamarine Ltd was engaged in finalizing the yacht project. Julesburg Corp. formally acted as the customer of the work. (British Virgin Islands), which issued Maslov a power of attorney to represent KPM Invest ltd. But according to the publication Kompromat-Ural, which refers to a representative of Julesburg Corp. Vyacheslav Rybalchenko, the name of the true owner of the yacht was no secret to anyone. Forget that name at Julesburg Corp. also not soon, since the structures affiliated with Maslov did not pay for the work performed. The ship is currently moored in Turkey.

It should be noted that, according to some reports, the former head of the corporation Alexander Beletsky also owns the offshore Redcloud Traders Limited (Cyprus), through which transactions with subsidiaries of the Kyrgyz Republic and real estate in Hungary were controlled.

The detention of Maslov took place within the walls of his estate near Moscow on the territory of the elite village of Arkhangelskoye. Before the eyes of the operatives, a collection of branded luxury watches, a collection of paintings by Russian artists, as well as cash in the amount of 100 thousand euros appeared. Not yet accustomed to measuring money in bags and shoeboxes, Maslov kept them old-fashioned in safes. The ex-director also has real estate in Moscow and abroad, a fleet of executive cars and Swiss citizenship. It means that the Development Corporation still lives up to its name. Who else managed to "develop" here, the investigation will show.

From the website of the Corporation for Development, before Maslov assumed the position of CEO of the corporation, he held leadership positions at LUKOIL. In 2008-2011, he served as President of CJSC St. Petersburg International Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange.​

The corporation itself is implementing the investment project "Ural Industrial - Ural Polar" and some others investment projects. Among them are the Northern Latitudinal Railway, the bridge over the Nadym River, a building materials plant in the city of Nyagan, and a number of others.

According to Kommersant, dozens of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB were involved in the operation to detain Maslov and Karamanov; it was held last Wednesday at almost 30 addresses in Moscow and the Moscow region. In particular, according to the newspaper, counterintelligence officers and employees of the GUEBiPK came to the office of JSC Development Corporation in Bolshoy Savvinsky Lane.

Maslov was detained in the cottage settlement "Arkhangelskoye", where, according to the newspaper, he has an estate located on more than 3 hectares, with an area of ​​​​almost 3 thousand square meters. m. According to the participants in the operation, referred to by the publication, “the residence of the head of JSC Development Corporation was more like a museum” - in particular, there was an author’s copy of the sculpture by Salvador Dali “Rhinoceros”, the walls of the house were decorated with paintings by Russian artists, in a separate room there was a collection of famous brand watches.

About $100,000 was found in safes in Maslov's house, writes Kommersant, and Bentley, Maybach and two rare Mercedes were in the garage. Also, the newspaper notes with reference to the special services, the head of the Development Corporation has several apartments in Moscow, real estate abroad, and at one of the foreign shipyards he built a 70-meter yacht worth more than €50 million.

A similar event, the publication reports, was held in a cottage village in the Petrovo-Dalny area on Novorizhskoye Highway - Karamanov lives there. A large amount of money and a lot of jewelry were also found in his mansion.

Nothing but documents and electronic media was seized from the detainees. In the near future, according to Kommersant, the investigation intends to apply to the court with a motion to seize the property of the defendants in the case to pay off the alleged damage. Maslov's estate, according to some reports, is estimated at more than $100 million, the newspaper notes.

Maslov and Karamanov, as well as the former chairman of the board of directors of RITC-bank Dmitry Khasanov and Elmira Miloserdova, who was previously a member of it (provided financial and legal services) were transported to Rostov-on-Don, the newspaper reports. They were arrested until November 30 as part of a criminal case initiated at the end of September by the local Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the “misappropriation of funds” (Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) of clients of the Narodny Credit bank.

According to the newspaper, in October 2014, shortly before the revocation of the license from Narodny Credit, Maslov and Karamanov invested more than 1 billion rubles in it, received from the shareholders of the Development Corporation - regions of the Ural Federal District for the development of transport, energy and social infrastructures within the framework of the project "Industrial Urals - Polar Urals". The money, with the assistance of the bank's leaders, according to the investigation, was withdrawn to offshore companies in Cyprus and invested in personal projects of the JSC's leaders.

In Rostov-on-Don, Kommersant notes, in custody on charges of embezzling more than 10 billion rubles from this bank. the former deputy head of the Russian Ministry of Energy and the owner of Narodny Kredit, Stanislav Svetlitsky, according to the newspaper, is a friend of Maslov, as well as the bank’s deputy chairman Irina Pereverzeva, the head of the bank’s security service, Nikolai Molotilkin, and accountant Maya Nyushkova.

According to the investigation, the management of the Development Corporation could place funds for their subsequent theft in other troubled banks. The amount of damage incriminated to the defendants in the case could grow at least a dozen times, a law enforcement source told the newspaper.

The corporation itself refrained from commenting for the publication, citing the lack of leadership.
