On Monday, the funerals were held oligarch Alexander Mineeva, who was shot killers last week. As we found out, "Rosbalt", until recently, he was the owner of real estate in prime locations in Moscow worth more than $ 700 million. In the autumn of 2013 the Ministry of Interior of Dagestan staff suddenly raided the offices of the capital Mineeva in the investigation of the financing of militants. Shortly thereafter, more than twenty, owned by businessman buildings were rewritten to some natives of the Caucasus. When oligarch turned to law enforcement agencies, he was killed.
Funeral Alexander Mineeva held on January 27 at Khovanskoye cemetery in Moscow. They came close friends and members of his oligarch firms. Mineeva ex-wife and children who live in England, to fly to Russia did not dare because they fear for their safety. The correspondent of "Rosbalt" talked with several business partners oligarch, who has recently entered into his inner circle. They told his version of events leading up to the crime.
interlocutor of the agency noted that Alexanetc. Mineev was secretive man, with a very difficult character. Therefore, during the years of his life he did not appear so many friends. The most famous of them - businessman Oleg Boiko and rock singer Boris Grebenshchikov (Mineev was an admirer of "Aquarium" group leader).
Alexander Mineev business started in the late 1980s and early 1990s, in the heyday of cooperation. Sam Mineev told friends that while he often had contact with representatives of "Solntsevo" criminal gang, and some of its leaders, he knew personally. Then the entrepreneur's social circle has changed. He could often be met with senior officials of the Federal Security Service and Customs Committee. This was due to the fact that Mineev engaged in the supply of Russian large shipments of household appliances. A similar business without the help of the security forces supervising imports was simply not possible. After a while Mineev created the country's first chain of stores trading technique, known as "Party", which has brought huge profits. In the late 1990s, "The Party" merged with another network - "Domino & quot ;. Primacy in this alliance was for Mineev. However, due to the complex nature of relations with new partners from the businessman did not exist. In the early 2000s, an entrepreneur suddenly turned the whole business of selling household appliances, and then went to live in London with his family. The reasons for such an act, he never told anyone.
However, as we found out, "Rosbalt" Mineev could afford to calmly and comfortably remain in England. By the time of his departure, he was the owner of 21 real estate in Moscow. So, he owned a retail and office center on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, 88, "Taganskaya" shopping center near the metro, a shopping center in the Kaluga area, building on the Lubyanka and the Old Square, etc. All these properties were written down by 18 companies: LLC "Lubyanka", LLC "on Bolshaya Polyanka", LLC "We Taganka", etc. The founders were listed offshore structures, in turn, owned by another offshore companies. All this long chain eventually led to Mineev. Formally, 18 companies passed the premises of the management company (in the last years she was Ltd. "Eurasia", also through offshoreMineev owned), and she has passed them to the sublease. Buildings bringing monthly income of 350 million rubles.
According to interlocutors "Rosbalt" in England Mineev actually I lived as rentiers, received money from their premises, and to the work of top managers did not intervene. But then he had a row with his wife. During the divorce High Court in London has left most of the foreign immobility of his ex-wife and children are also required of a businessman to pay them 30 million pounds sterling.
Frustrated oligarch summer of 2012 he returned to Russia, where he decided to take operational control of its business related to real estate. But, again, due to the heavy nature once quarreled with all senior managers, which are then fired. According to agency sources, to replace them began to come people are often random. Many important personnel decisions in general taken during feasts. "Sometimes a belief that Alexander every day trying to beat the Guinness Book record for the number and diversity of the use of intoxicating beverages per day. With this in many ways and has been associated complexity of his character"- Complained the interlocutors "Rosbalt".
Check for new top management was not carried out as a real security service in Mineeva virtually absent: for all these questions answered by one person. His attention and attracted a native of Dagestan, won the "Eurasia" responsible position. It turned out that the new top manager at different times used the passports of three different surnames, and was involved in various dubious stories. This Mineev reported that in September 2013, also fired his protégé. With a native of Dagestan lost a few minor constituent documents. Then it great value not given.
And in early November in the office of LLC "Eurasia" on Kutuzov Avenue came with the sanction of a search group of Interior Ministry of Dagestan. From the submitted documents indicated that investigated the case on the financing of illegal armed groups in the country. Allegedly, during a search of the document printing company "Eurasia" was found in one of the mountain villages, which gave reason to conduct investigations in the office on Kutuzovth Avenue. According to the interlocutors, "Rosbalt", for some reason, the visitors showed particular interest to the constituent documents of the 18 most firms recorded with the building. But it was not in the room. The next day, the Dagestani security forces reappeared in the company "Eurasia" and questioned top executives of the company, presenting them goodbye summons for questioning in Dagestan.
Three days later, when the financial director of "Eurasia" out of the office on Kutuzov, ran up to him unknown Caucasian appearance. The attacker struck financier truncheon on the head and tried to take away a large portfolio - apparently the attacker believed that there may be in the founding documents. However, treasurer appeared well developed physically. He managed not only to defend from the offender, but also rushed in pursuit of him. At this point, due to the angle of the car jumped out, hit by a staff member of "Eurasia", the attacker jumped into the car and fled.
In December 2013 the Central Bank revoked the license of the bank where the accounts were 18 firms controlled Mineev. To open a new account at another bank trebovalis extracts from EGYURL. After receiving them, subordinates the oligarch was surprised to see that the founders of all 18 firms appear offshore structures that have no relationship to one Mineev and CEOs appointed by some natives of the North Caucasus. All the changes were made with forged documents. Realizing that in an instant lost almost all mine and his lawyers a matter of urgency through the arbitration courts have imposed interim measures on the building and filed an application to UEBiPK Research Affairs in Moscow. While they were doing this, business Mineeva was dealt another blow: an unknown offshore company was re-registered management company "Eurasia", and its CEO in EGYURL has come to mean a resident of Dagestan Omar Suleimanovich Suleymanov.
All events occurred shortly after the New Year. Mineev realized that their forces to resist the seizure of assets, he simply can not. "Only then did he really" come to his senses, "little changed lifestyle and began to develop a response plan, in particular - started to create a powerful security service, attracted to work a few behindGOVERNMENTAL siloviki - new applications in law enforcement, investigation verification started, "said the source," Rosbalt "Quickly were served in all buildings put up a strong guard, waiting for their possible power capture new security leaders also proposed to put to himself Mineev personal security,... but he flatly refused.
Since returning to the Russian oligarch living in a cottage in the village Zagoryanka, not far from the Moscow Region Queen (in this town, he opened his own office). It gave a lot of inconvenience for everybody to top-managers of "Eurasia", which is almost every day had to go to the chief of the city (he flatly refused to appear Mineev in Moscow). He also believed that the Queen he is not threatened. As it turned out - he was wrong.
January 22, 2014 Range Rover with the oligarch and his driver went to the office of Zagoryanka Korolev. Mineev was sitting in the front passenger seat. When the car stopped at a traffic light, the driver's side and a little behind her slowed Mitsubishi Lancer, out of the window which seemed automatic. Pestupnik was shooting diagonally, across the interior Range Rover. Issued 27 bullets hit the Mineeva from his injuries he died on the spot. The driver was not injured. a criminal case under Art was initiated on the fact of murder. 105 (murder) and Article. 222 (illegal arms) of the Criminal Code.
Source of "Rosbalt" in law enforcement, said that there are certain "clues" to suggest that the murder of the performers were current or former militants in connection with an investigation of the financing of that strange forces searched the Interior Ministry of Dagestan was held in Mineeva office. But who exactly is behind the seizure of all assets of the oligarch worth more than $ 700 million is not yet known. Perhaps it will be found in the course of a murder investigation.
interlocutor of the agency noted that part of the real estate Mineeva located in places that can be considered as strategically important in terms of security from the terrorist threat. Shopping and Office Center is just off Kutuzovsky Prospekt and Rublevskoe highway, which almost daily pass tuples the first persons gov'trstva. The building in the Old Square is adjacent to the presidential administration. A building on Lubyanka Square is located next to the headquarters of the FSB.
