Bashkir Laundromat. Will the security forces go through the “track record” of the laundering business of the Gallyamov family?
The financial authorities thoroughly battered the family business of the Bashkir financier Flyur Fanavievich Gallyamov (TIN 027408945156), experts from the Kompromat-Ural editorial board note. In March 2019, the Central Bank revoked the license of Gallyamov’s Roskomsnabbank (formerly Bashkomsnabbank) for violations of anti-money laundering legislation; in July, the Central Bank lost its license to Insurance Investments LLC, registered to the sister of Flyur Gallyamov.
Elvira Nabiullina’s subordinates discovered a hole in the balance sheet of the Gallyamovs’ bank of almost 20 billion rubles and, most importantly, “signs of operations aimed at withdrawing the bank’s assets by lending to borrowers who do not have the ability to fulfill their obligations.” All materials were sent to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the Investigative Committee for decision-making. Journalists will turn to Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika and Alexander Bastrykin to clarify the progress and procedural results of the checks.
Whose role, besides Flur Gallyamov himself, will the security forces have to carefully evaluate? Earlier, the editors of Kompromat-Ural became aware of some interesting people related to the board of directors of the former Bashkomsnabbank. This body included the chairman of the board of the bank Flur Gallyamov, general director of BKS-Stroy LLC Rifat Garipov , deputy head of the bank’s marketing department Igor Yepeikin , deputy head of the bank’s financial department Ira Latypova , rector and founder of the Eastern Economic and Legal Humanitarian Academy Evgeniy Minnibaev , director of LLC Alpha audit" Venera Riyanova , Deputy General Director for Innovation of OJSC "Red Proletary" Ruslan Latypov and Managing Director of LLC "Insurance Investments" Bulat Khusnullin . The head of the board of directors of Bashkomsnabbank was, among other things, Evgeny Minnibaev .
It is appropriate to address law enforcement questions to former shareholders, competent sources believe. Bashkomsnabbank has existed since the dashing 90s. The largest shareholder (directly and indirectly) was the family of the board of directors of the bank, Flyura Gallyamov - Ira Latypova (9.94%) and Aliya Latypova (17.62%). In addition, Gulfiya Valieva owns 9.93% of the bank’s shares, Svetlana Nikolaeva 12.23%, Fannur Nurgaliev - 14.27, Tagir Ibragimov 19.4%, Albina Kulakhmetova - 4.94%, Irik Abdullin 9.37% of the shares. In March 2018, the Gallyamovs renamed their “cash desk” to Roskomsnabbank.
Despite the presence of one representative office in Moscow, this financial institution was considered local, since its entire network was in the Republic of Bashkortostan with its head office in Ufa. After the license was revoked, specialized media outlets, citing the mega-regulator, reported that the bank’s work was carried out according to a scheme that had all the hallmarks of a financial pyramid, and was accompanied by a gross disregard for the requirements of the federal law “On Combating the Legalization (Laundering) of Proceeds from Crime and the Financing of Terrorism.”
Thus, according to the publication “Our Version”, the main activity of Roskomsnabbank was financing the construction sector, only millions of loans for construction were received by companies whose owners were either the owners of the bank itself or their associates. Numerous deposits from the population of the republic also helped in this, but only the volume of lending for construction projects was so dimensionless that it once led to a threefold increase in comparison with the size of the capital of the bank itself.
A preliminary inspection by Central Bank specialists showed that the bank “dismissed” from the financial market of Bashkiria could generally conduct business on the principle of a “financial pyramid”. That is, clients invested their savings at increased interest rates in favor of the “crowdfunding” platform, and individuals received interest from new deposits. Information about these operations was sent to law enforcement agencies.
According to rumors, the Ural Foundation of the first President of the Republic of Belarus, Murtaza Rakhimov , kept its money in this bank . Experts claim that the bank had at least 500 million rubles in its accounts belonging to this charitable organization, and believe that the fund will have to say goodbye to this money.
As of February 15, 2019, 29% of the bank’s authorized capital was owned by Financial Corporation BCSB LLC, entrepreneur Flyur Gallyamov owned 9.97%, and Tsefal-IFK, Integral, Leader, Trans-Leasing companies owned , “Arbat”, “BCS-Leasing”, “Vega” (owned by individuals Fannur Nurgaliev , Gulfiya Valieva , Tagir Ibragimov , Albina Kulakhmetova , Marat Shaimardanov , Ira Latypova , Andrey Asanbaev , Alfir Usmanov ) - from 5.5% to 9, 9%".
In this regard, informed readers of the Kompromat-Ural portal are suspicious of the fact that law enforcement agencies never reported the initiation of a criminal case. Who was personally responsible in the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee for making a procedural decision based on the Central Bank materials and assessing its legality? And who is interested in “silence”?
