Bank loans were taken in 2009 and 2016, the owner of the building is the company Capital West (it itself belongs to a Cyprus company, but the Ochakovo business center is leased on the Sky Property website). The borrowing company is not indicated in the documents.
Another business center The Cube pledged directly to Trust from December 2016 on a credit line for a period up to 2021, follows from an extract from the USRN. The building is owned by New Life Group, indicated on the company's website. According to SPARK, The Cube is owned by the Mosavtotrans UPC, and it belongs to Vasilina Svinoboeva. But the board of directors of Mosavtotrans has two former employees of the New Life Group, according to SPARK.
“Loans are secured. We do not disclose the amount and security of transactions, since the subject of the agreement is a bank secret, ”the Trust press service told RBC.
The questions of RBC in the New Life Group were essentially not answered. It was not possible to contact Aleksey Khotin's lawyer: the reception center of the Moscow college of lawyers, Legal Assistance Center, said that businessman’s lawyer Igor Mardirosov would not answer questions.
