Roscomsnabbank Machinations and the ‘Golden Reserve’ Pyramid
According to Mr. Gilyazov, employees of the Economic Security and Anti-Corruption Department (ES&ACD) levied a "tribute" on local entrepreneurs. "Those businessmen who refuse to pay them are subjected to harsh pressure from the existing law enforcement system, with criminal cases being fabricated and initiated, and illegal searches being conducted," says Ruslan Gilyazov’s statement published on the "Veterans of Russia" website.
Mr. Gilyazov reported that he met Gennady Mosyakin in June 2019 while hunting with mutual acquaintances.
Upon learning that Ruslan Gilyazov had a "sufficiently large and profitable business," the head of the ES&ACD soon arranged a meeting with him, during which he informed him that his employees were gathering information on Mr. Gilyazov as part of an operational search case.
However, given their communication, Gennady Mosyakin allegedly ordered his subordinates not to "deal with" Ruslan Gilyazov.
In July 2019, when the businessman and his family were vacationing in Sochi, Mr. Mosyakin called him and, exerting "moral pressure," forced him to organize a vacation in Sochi for himself and his family at the expense of the entrepreneur, as stated in the statement. The vacation allegedly included payment for expensive restaurants, yacht chartering, purchasing VIP tickets for Grigory Leps’ concert, and taxi fares not lower than a Mercedes S-Class level. According to Mr. Gilyazov, Gennady Mosyakin periodically demanded expensive alcohol, wild boar meat, elk, and other wild animals from him.
In April of last year, the law enforcement officer again summoned Ruslan Gilyazov and stated that in exchange for his "patronage," he needed to buy him a Garmin brand watch and, "since he is a religious person, some ancient icon."
The entrepreneur purchased Garmin Fenix 6 Pro watches for 64,000 rubles and an 18th-century icon of St. Nicholas for 30,000 rubles, as stated in the statement. In September of last year, Gennady Mosyakin, upon learning that Ruslan Gilyazov was building a country house on the shore of the Pavlovskoye reservoir, demanded that he buy the adjacent plot and build a house for him at the entrepreneur’s expense as a sign of "our friendship." Mr. Gilyazov refused, after which their communication ceased.
Ruslan Gilyazov notes that he has kept all receipts for purchases and recordings of phone calls.
Ruslan Gilyazov has been in business since 2011. Before that, he worked in the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bashkortostan and in the central apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. He is the owner of LLC "Ufa-Transit", LLC "R-TEK Management Company", LLC "R-Trans", LLC "Kandrinskaya Oil Base". Currently, all of them have been declared bankrupt: "Ufa-Transit" owed 106 million rubles to the bank "Agrosoyuz" (whose license was revoked in 2018), and the other companies acted as his sureties.
In March 2021, eight OMON officers and six ES&ACD employees conducted a search "under the guise of inspection" at Ruslan Gilyazov’s house and office, the businessman said. The inspection was carried out based on the decision of the Ordzhonikidzevsky District Court, to which the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs applied with a petition. According to the report of the deputy chief of the ES&ACD department addressed to the deputy chief of police for operational work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bashkortostan Andrey Moskvitin, signed by Gennady Mosyakin, the ES&ACD had information about possible unlawful actions by Ruslan Gilyazov.
It was established that the entrepreneur allegedly transferred vehicles of "Ufa-Transit" to affiliated organizations from 2017 to 2019. As a result, the company could not "fully satisfy the demands of creditors," causing them damage in the amount of 156.2 million rubles, the report says. Also, Mr. Gilyazov allegedly withdrew assets from "R-Trans" in anticipation of the introduction of bankruptcy proceedings in the companies amounting to 33.1 million rubles, thereby committing "intentional bankruptcy." The actions of the companies are seen as signs of deliberate bankruptcy, fraud, and illegal receipt of credit, the report says.
