Ordinary co-investors of numerous construction projects of "Mirax Group" took the news rather nervously, and began to storm the offices of the holding. In our point of view, " innovations" by Polonsky look quite scary actually. Thus, by the beginning of this year one of the largest developers has frozen virtually all of its construction objects. A number of highly questionable foreign deals of the holding are indicative of massive "evacuation" of borrowed funds and holders’ money.
