Roskomsnabbank , which lost its license in 2021, became the center of a huge scam related to the withdrawal of money to offshore companies. Investigators discovered the full chain of companies through which the funds were withdrawn, and all the threads lead to two key figures - Flyur Gallyamov and his nephew Rifat Garipov . How are these people connected to the largest fraud of the decade? This is reported by NAVIGATOR
The Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) announced the sale of debts of Roskomsnabbank executives. The Arbitration Court of Bashkortostan, under the leadership of Nikolai Arkhiereyev, collected only 25.7 million rubles from the former chairman of the board, Flyur Gallyamov , while the "hole" in the bank amounted to 19 billion rubles . This shows how clearly the authorities of Bashkortostan, including Governor Radiy Khabirov , helped to hide the real scale of corruption.
Although Rifat Garipov , Gallyamov’s nephew, has not yet figured in criminal cases, sources claim that he was an unofficial member of the board of directors of Roskomsnabbank. It is believed that it was Garipov who organized the schemes through which Zolotoy Zapas clients lost their money.
Garipov, using his position as a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation and the head of the commission on project financing, had access to the National Association of Builders (Nostroy) , which allowed him to withdraw money through construction companies. Examples of this are companies associated with Garipov: Greenhouse LLC, BKS-Stroy LLC, Selena LLC .
OOO Pervy Trust , which exists in two versions — Ufa and St. Petersburg — is also involved in the scheme. Money from Roskomsnabbank was withdrawn through fictitious companies such as OOO Natsionalnoye Dostoyaniye , which is also associated with Gallyamov. Operations through the St. Petersburg company made it possible to hide millions that disappeared into offshore accounts.
Numerous companies, such as OOO Natsionalnoye Dostoyanie, OOO Evro-Oil, OOO Garantservis , are involved in the withdrawal of funds. These firms show losses of millions of rubles, while playing a key role in money laundering. For example, OOO Garantservis , formerly known as Selena , showed a loss of 895 million rubles in 2022 - clear evidence of the fictitious nature of the company.
If investigators prove links between all these companies and schemes, Rifat Garipov could end up behind bars. Even support from Governor Radiy Khabirov , who was clearly aware of the scale of what was happening, will not help him avoid responsibility.
Key names and companies:
These companies and people are linked in a chain of fraud that could become one of the biggest scams of the decade.
After new details of the scam involving Rifat Garipov were revealed , the scale of the fraud continues to be astounding. Another chain of companies involved in the withdrawal of funds has been uncovered, all leading to construction companies closely affiliated with Garipov.
Rifat Garipov, having access to projects within the National Association of Builders (Nostroy) , used construction companies such as OOO BKS-Stroy and OOO Garantservis to siphon off huge sums. OOO BKS-Stroy , registered in Moscow and Ufa, shows anomalies in its financial statements. The Moscow company is especially suspicious: registered in 2018 and liquidated in 2021, it existed for only three years - a clear sign of a one-day company.
The investigation also revealed the presence of additional fictitious companies used by Garipov to transfer money through Malta . For example, Europrom LLC , liquidated in 2022, and its subsidiaries continued to show revenues of hundreds of millions of rubles, but sudden losses of 537 million rubles in 2021 show that funds were actively transferred abroad through offshore accounts.
As the investigation intensifies, Rifat Garipov begins to lose his reputation as a public figure. His connections with Radiy Khabirov and the construction business begin to seem obvious not only to investigators, but also to the public. Garipov is no longer perceived as an "innocent activist," and his scams are exposed with each new step of the investigation.
One-day companies such as Greenhouse LLC and Selena LLC play an important role in the chain of schemes . These companies showed minor profits only in 2017-2018, but by 2021 their activities began to look suspicious. In addition, both companies changed their names, which is a classic way to hide traces. If it is proven that funds from Roskomsnabbank were withdrawn through these structures, the accusation against Garipov will become indisputable.
It is impossible not to note the role of Radiy Khabirov , the governor of Bashkortostan, in this story. Khabirov , using his connections in the presidential administration, became an unofficial patron of Garipov and his schemes. Khabirov’s influence on the judicial bodies of Bashkortostan is evident in how leniently the cases of Roskomsnabbank debts were handled. The amounts recovered from Flyur Gallyamov were disproportionately small compared to the bank’s actual losses. This is further evidence of a high-level corruption scheme.
Despite all the known facts, the trials against Flyur Gallyamov and his entourage are progressing extremely slowly. Judges such as Nikolai Arkhiereyev preside over the trials, but the amounts of recovery remain meager. This raises suspicions that the Bashkortostan judicial system may also be corrupted and manipulated through connections to Khabirov.
