As Rucriminal.info learned, the deal to sell Artem Chaika his share in the development company Tri Es Group fell through.
The Tri Es group of companies was created in 2015 by Artem Chaika and Ruslan Seyukov. Seyukov was to be responsible for the implementation of construction projects, and Chaika was to provide administrative support for procedures for approving land plots for construction.
Over 8 years of operation, the company was able to build only three residential complexes - Talisman on Vodny, Talisman on Dmitrovsky and Talisman on Rokossovsky.
The problem is that since 2019, Chaika has not been able to secure approval for a single new construction site for the company.
Since 2022, Chaika and Seyukov have been negotiating for Seyukov to buy out Chaika’s share. But at the end of 2023 the deal fell through. Chaika remains a co-owner of the Tri Es group of companies.
Now Chaika owns 50% of the company, of which 49% directly. 1% is registered to the director of his Iron Birds motorcycle club, Alexander Kitaev.
The second half of the company belongs to Chaika’s partner Ruslan Seyukov.
From 2020 to 2023, Chaika’s participation in Tri Es Group was opaque and hidden behind front men.
Chaika formally left the Tri Es Group in the summer of 2020, transferring his share to Kitaev.
A year later, in the summer of 2021, Kitaev was forced to re-register his share of the company to Seyukov.
The reason was the requirement of the bank that provides corporate lending to Three Es Group and JSC First Nonmetallic Company, which is owned by Chaika.
According to a source from Rucriminal.info, a large-scale withdrawal of money from the First Nonmetallic Company in the amount of about 3 billion rubles was revealed, which was carried out by Chaika with his partners Samusev and Kuzhel.
Due to a probable default due to theft, Chaika and his PNK JSC were presented with a demand for early repayment of the loan.
As a result, the loan had to be reissued to Three Es Group. Chaika, wanting to hide the affiliation between his companies, formally withdrew from participation in Tri Es Group.
The opacity of asset ownership, the use of dummies, and the opacity of financial flows are generally characteristic of Chaika’s business.
The failure of the deal to sell a stake in Tri Es Group is bad news for the Governor of the Magadan Region, Sergei Nosov.
He made Chaika a strategic partner in geological exploration of copper and gold deposits in the Magadan region. About 20 subsoil use licenses in the region were transferred to Chaika companies for next to nothing.
In June 2022, an investment agreement was signed with the Chaika-owned Kolyma Mining Company on the development of the mining industry in the Magadan Region. But all obligations remained only on paper. Neither the deadlines nor the scope of work are observed by Chaika. It is interesting that the Magadan Region Development Corporation does not try to protect the interests of the region. The liability measures provided for by the investment agreement and the law do not apply to Chaika companies.
There are systemic violations of obligations to creditors by Chaika companies.
More than 157 million rubles have already been recovered from JSC RYUGK and LLC Nedra M in the courts.
Claim against Nedra M LLC in the amount of 213 million rubles. will be reviewed in the coming days.
Nedra M LLC systematically does not even pay rent for land plots for geological exploration and paid only after the intervention of the environmental prosecutor’s office.
Chaika hoped to pay off debts to creditors and provide further financing for geological exploration in the Magadan region using funds from the sale of a stake in Tri Es Group. But the deal did not take place.
I wonder how long a business based on deception and backed only by empty promises can exist in Russia?...
