The Investigative Committee announced the international search of the owner of the construction company, the contractor for the Roskosmos facilities, OOO Engineering Systems, Sergey Slastikhin, who is charged with a large amount of fraud (Article 159, part 4 of the Criminal Code). This was stated by the representative of the TFR at a meeting of the Moscow Basmanny Court, which on Thursday, September 20, arrested Slastikhin in absentia.

"It is established that the accused is hiding outside the Russian Federation, currently in the United States," the investigator said at the meeting.

The interlocutor of RBC, who was familiar with the investigation, told that Slastikhin appears in several criminal cases related to the construction of Roskosmos, the damage that could amount to "hundreds of millions of rubles."

Now "Engineering systems" are in a state of bankruptcy. The official website of the company specified in the SPARK database is accessible only through the web.archive service. In its saved version, more than a dozen objects of the operator of Russian cosmodromes are listed among the projects of FSUE "Center for the Operation of Ground-Based Space Infrastructure Facilities" (CENSCI). In addition, a copy of the FSB license was retained for the admission of OOO "Engineering systems" to work with information containing state secrets and licenses of Roskosmos for work in the space industry.

Among the contracts of the "Engineering Systems" are the reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the facilities of the Krainyi aerodrome (Baikonur Cosmodrome), the reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the mechanical shop of the TsENKI branch - the Design Bureau of Transport and Chemical Engineering (CB TKhM), which, inter alia, provides warranty supervision of the systems and units operated on the serial objects of the Strategic Missile Forces, as well as the reconstruction of the administrative buildings of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Center" Zvezdny "" Roskosm wasp".

"Work with the companies Slastikhin was discontinued about three years ago. Before that, as a contractor, he participated in the work on the headquarters of Roskosmos on the Berezhkovskaya Embankment in Moscow and built administrative buildings on Baikonur, "said a source close to the state corporation RBC.

Missing accounts department

In the materials of the Arbitration Court of Moscow on the bankruptcy of the "Engineering Systems" with reference to the conclusions of the FTS audit, it is asserted that the businessman who was wanted was also in fact controlling the companies "GlobalStroy" and "Construction Strategy" who "performed the same type of construction work within the state contract on the facilities of FSUE TsENKI. They have the same legal address, the employees of OOO "Engineering systems" held executive positions in OOO GlobalStroy and OOO Strategy for Construction. The last two firms, as the court points out, "did not function as independent legal entities, but were controlled by the" Engineering Systems ". According to SPARK, all three companies have branches in the city of Baikonur at the address: Barmina Street, 8B.

Among the customers of GlobalStroy and the Construction Strategy are also the structures of Roskosmos, mainly CENKI, including the Center for the Elimination of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, which is part of it.

According to the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court of July 23, 2018 in the case of the bankruptcy of LLC "Engineering Systems", Slastikhin was brought to subsidiary liability for his company's obligations amounting to 908 million rubles. Among these requirements, more than 200 million rubles are included, which they tried to collect from the "Engineering Systems" of CENSCI.

In the ruling of the arbitration court of July 23, it is stressed that the management of the company did not transfer accounting documentation to the bankruptcy administrator, as required by the procedure, because of which it was not possible to identify the debtor's assets, to check and challenge the transactions.

From the materials that Judge Yuliya Safina read at the meeting as Delistikhin was punished, it follows that the absentee accusation against the businessman was filed on August 7. The very next day he was declared a federal wanted list, and on September 11 - on an international one.

The lawyer of the accused Nail Andronikov objected to Slastikhin's arrest in absentia, because, according to the defense, his guilt is not sufficiently confirmed by the case materials. At the same time, he added that he can not now contact Slastikhin to find out his position on the case.

The lawyer refused to discuss the matter with RBC. In the press service of the Center for Strategic Research, RBC, they stated that they do not comment on the investigative actions at the enterprise.
