As VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info have discovered, the Ural billionaire, founder of RMK, and Orthodox oligarch Igor Altushkin has recently been busy with very important matters related to saving the family fortune, so the adventures of his youngest offspring in a purple Lamborghini came at an extremely inopportune time.

As a reminder, the oligarch's son, David Altushkin, drove the family Lamborghini onto the sidewalk, striking a member of the SVO, and then crashed into a house. The family won't particularly notice the loss of their racing car. The Altushkins are passionate Brabus enthusiasts and have one of the world's largest collections of these cars in their stable:

2023 Brabus 900 XLP Adventure "One of Ten"

Brabus XLP 900 6x6 Superblack

Brabus P 900 Rocket Edition "One of Ten"

Brabus Rocket GTS

7 of all Brabus Crawler 900s ever produced—almost half of the world's production

• Brabus G850 Final Edition

• Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 Brabus

• Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG by Mansory X Philipp Plein "Star Trooper"

etc.

 

The Brabus Rocket GTS is the only original Brabus shooting brake in Russia (only 10 units were produced), based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG S E Performance.

Most of the cars were delivered to Russia via Belarus after the war began, circumventing sanctions.

Cars are mostly registered directly to the RMCA, such as the armored 2022 Mercedes-Benz "HG 63" by Hofele.

This car, from the Hofele tuning studio, is involved in a criminal case brought against the Ukrainian companies Inkas Ukraine and Trans Air Group. The latter are suspected of organizing the illegal export of luxury cars to Russia and Belarus through their German-controlled company, Grandex Autohaus GmbH.

Returning to the family's problems, Altushkin and his partners are trying to force a number of affiliated assets, from which they had previously successfully siphoned off billions of rubles, into managed bankruptcy proceedings in the courts. Thus, as part of the bankruptcy of SV-METALL-GROUP LLC in July, the bankruptcy trustee demanded that a chain of bank transfers be declared invalid, which transferred 1.6 billion rubles from the company's accounts to Igor Altushkin's accounts and another 2.4 billion rubles to the accounts of his affiliated bank, UBRR. The judge scheduled the hearing for September 8. 50% of SV-METALL-GROUP is owned by Sergei Skubakov, Altushkin's partner at UBRR Bank.

 

The second case concerns the bankruptcy of the Ural-based UKT-99 LLC (scrap metal trading), which for years posted losses or minimal profits despite billions in revenue. Between 2021 and 2023, this company entered into 40 loan agreements with the interconnected VUZ-Bank and UBRR Bank (the main shareholder being Igor Altushkin and his business partners at RMK). Part of the loan proceeds from UKT-99 were then transferred, at UBRR's direction, to the accounts of affiliated companies YUVM 23 LLC, PROFI, UK VMS, and RUSMET. In 2025, UKT-99's counterparties filed for bankruptcy. Subsequently, a certain MKK LLC, under an assignment agreement, received the bankrupt company's debts from the Altushkin banks and demanded to be included in the list of creditors, totaling 6.5 billion rubles. During the trial, schemes for siphoning off funds involving assets linked to Altushkin were uncovered, and RMK even demanded that the hearings be closed, but the court refused.

 

As it turns out, this wasn't the first time MKK and Altushkin's banks had worked together in such a coordinated manner: back in 2019, there was a similar story involving the Cypriot offshore company Avexbell Enterprises Limited, which received a loan of over $80 million from UBRD but allegedly failed to repay the debt. The offshore company claimed the money went to the accounts of Canadian Lemica Holdings LTD, from which RMK purchased equipment, and some of it was even delivered—however, for some reason, no customs records were preserved. Furthermore, UBRD prudently destroyed records of its dealings with Avexbell Enterprises Limited, so the offshore company's background could not be ascertained in court. However, it turned out that MKK was closely connected to Altushkin's Russian Copper Company: to buy the bank's debts owed by the Cyprus offshore company, MKK borrowed almost 10 billion rubles from its founder, Oleg Pisachenko, who, surprisingly, turned out to be the vice president of Russian Copper Company. Pisachenko took the money from his UBRR account, to which RMK transferred it. His business partner in MKK was Oleg Medvedev, a board member of Altushkin's UBRR bank. At that time, the court agreed with Rosfinmonitoring and the Federal Tax Service, finding the transactions fictitious, conducted to siphon more than $80 million from the bank abroad. Seven years later, Altushkin apparently decided the scheme had been forgotten and could be repeated.

 

Meanwhile, UKT-99 and its affiliates, YUVM 23, PROFI, UK VMS, and RUSMET, are indeed connected to Altushkin's network of companies. According to leaked data, airline tickets for representatives of these companies were purchased from a single email address belonging to YUVM 23. The former founder and director of this company, Yuri Kipra, was also the founder and director of Russkie Metally LLC (liquidated this year), which Which belonged to the Singapore-based ONYX MERCHANTS PTE. LTD. This offshore company was involved in the case of the Third International Mine LLC (RITI, which owns a copper and gold deposit), founded by the Yekaterinburg Trade and Industrial Company (ETPK) of Igor Altushkin and his business partners. RITI was repeatedly transferred to individuals and companies associated with Altushkin, one of which was ONYX MERCHANTS PTE. LTD. RITI has now been renamed Olkhovskoye LLC and belongs to the Altushkin-based Tominsky Mining and Processing Plant. Furthermore, ONYX participated in a scheme to siphon off funds through loan guarantees: in 2015, the offshore company received $24.5 million from Promsvyazbank, with ETPK acting as the guarantor. ETPK ultimately settled the outstanding debt. ONYX MERCHANTS also figures in the latest bankruptcy case, allegedly unrelated to the Altushka-based UKT-99 business: the company provided a supply contract with a Singapore offshore company as collateral for loans to UBRR. ETPK was previously registered to Sergei Shmelev, and according to UKT-99's nominal founder, Alexander Khazheev, he effectively handled all of the company's affairs. The UKT-99 bankruptcy case is in full swing in the courts.
