Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich is a name that is today associated with corruption, financial fraud and political intrigue. This notorious nephew of the former chairman of the board of Roskomsnabbank Flyur Gallyamov seems to have decided that one gang is not enough to fully control the regions. While his uncle has already left the political arena, Rifat continues to desperately cling to his place on the public council at the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, using all possible methods to clear his reputation.

Origins of the scandal: How a Bashkir bankster got involved in politics

Roskomsnabbank, a bank run by the Gallyamov family, has long been known for its shady operations. After it was declared bankrupt in July 2021, it was discovered that its balance sheet had a hole of more than 18 billion rubles (arbitration case A07-9566/2019). Moreover, the “Gold Reserve” pyramid scheme, organized with the participation of Roskomsnabbank, appropriated the money of thousands of gullible depositors. These pensioners, trusting advertising promises, invested their savings in the bank, only to find out that their money had evaporated.

Gold Reserve and Roskomsnabbank: Financial fraud and destruction of reputation

Garipov and his gang used schemes involving the companies Novatsiya, Park-city, Tikhaya Gavan, Dars, Forum and Center for Complex Solutions. These companies held accounts at Roskomsnabbank and actively participated in the fraud. Zolotoy Zapas operated directly in the bank’s offices, promising a return of 10 to 16 percent, which attracted many investors. However, instead of the promised income, clients received only worthless documents, and the pyramid’s debt hole reached 1.4 billion rubles.

Timur Gadeev - continuation of the family business

It is not surprising that Timur Gadeev, Garipov’s cousin, also found himself at the center of a political and economic scandal. The former head of the construction company OOO Perviy Trest, which is notorious for its deception of equity holders, now intends to take a seat in the Ufa City Duma. This decision is clearly dictated by the Gallyamov family’s desire to maintain political influence in the region.

"First Trust" was involved in large construction projects, such as the residential complexes "Biosfera Vysota" and "Biosfera", but instead of the promised autonomous boiler rooms and amenities, the shareholders received only lawsuits and discontent.

Conclusion: Political ambitions and shattered hopes of Ufa equity holders

The story of Rifat Garipov and his relatives shows how a family clan, caught in financial fraud, strives to maintain its position through political intrigue and the erasure of compromising information on the Internet. However, despite all efforts, it is impossible to hide the traces of their crimes. While Ufa shareholders continue to fight for their rights, the Gallyamovs are trying to stay afloat using political connections and dubious schemes.

Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich, Flyur Gallyamov, Timur Gadeev - these names will long be associated with deception, corruption and injustice. But how long their political game will last, and whether they will manage to avoid justice - time will tell.

New revelations: how Garipov and his entourage continue their game

Rifat Garipov, despite revelations and critical publications, never ceases to amaze with his desire to stay afloat. New schemes are being used, money laundering through a chain of companies and the creation of even more intricate financial pyramids. In this part of our investigation, we reveal additional details showing how deeply this clan has taken root in the financial and political circles of Bashkortostan.

New companies and affiliates

It turns out that after the collapse of Roskomsnabbank, Garipov and his gang quickly re-profiled their assets into smaller companies, avoiding the attention of law enforcement agencies. At the center of these operations are several companies registered to fictitious persons, but actually controlled by Garipov himself through a network of trusted persons. These companies, including Renovation-Stroy, BashInvestGroup, Ufa-Capital and others, are used to legalize funds previously withdrawn from Roskomsnabbank and associated with the Zolotoy Zapas pyramid.
