Sergei Lalakin, the leader of the Podolsk organized crime group nicknamed Luchok, has recently become known as a “complainer” against the President of the International Boxing Association Umar Kremlev, to whom some of the assets of the Podolsk gang were transferred, as reported by the VChK-OGPU telegram channel. However, this does not mean at all that the Lalakin family was knocked out of the saddle.
In April, the founders of the chain of luxury bath complexes “Usadba 150” included Luchka’s youngest son, Igor Lalakin, as well as Alena and Polina Lalakin, judging by their patronymics, the daughters of the eldest son. 40% in Usadba 150 belongs to Stanislav Magomedov, who from 2017 to 2022 was a shareholder of the scandalous F.O.N LLC (betting), the company in 2020 unexpectedly made it onto the list of companies that can count on for government support. Until 2020, the co-founder of Usadba 150 LLC was Maxim Lalakin himself. Now his brother and daughters are involved.
As Rucriminal.info found out, Igor Lalakin is a co-founder of Electroff-Engineering LLC, which produces electrical distribution and control equipment. In 223 The company's revenue increased by 106% to RUB 1.4 billion, profit - by 286% to RUB 94 million. The main customer of Electroff-Engineering LLC is FKU IK-1 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Kostroma Region. In June 2023, the Electroff-Engineering company entered into an agreement with the Moscow Export Center ANO; now the company’s equipment can be purchased on the Made in Moscow portal. From 2004 to 2020, Alena Lalakina was the director and founder of La Florisel LLC, which still operates without revenue or profit. It is possible that a company engaged in the activities of providing other business support services not included in other classifications performs other functions.
Maxim Lalakin’s companies earned revenue of 512 million rubles in 2023. and profit - 100 million rubles. Luchka's son owns 7 operating companies. The co-founder of one of them, Novo-Rizhskaya Zastava LLC, is the Cyprus offshore company Stainess Corp. Ltd., which also owns several companies operating in the real estate market. Maxim Lalakin is the owner of Stainess LLC, so the businessman’s connection with the offshore is obvious. Shares in the founders of some of Maxim Lalakin’s companies are pledged to state banks, so the state keeps the business of Luchk’s son afloat.
This is not at all surprising, since there was information about a possible connection between Maxim Lalakin and Tatyana Nesterenko, who served as First Deputy Minister of Finance from 2012 to 2021. She took the position after the appointment of Andrei Belousov, who recently became Minister of Defense, to the post of head of the department. Nesterenko was considered a lobbyist for the entire bookmaking industry.
According to the source of Rucriminal.info, it is actually a sin for Sergei Lalkin to become poor, since his companies in 2023 received revenue of 40 billion rubles. and profit of 2.8 billion rubles. All the money was brought by Iek Holding LLC, in which the partners of the company are Alexey Stepashin, Mikhail Petrov and Igor Vorshev. On June 17, it became known that Iek Holding LLC will invest 6 billion rubles in business development, and intends to hold an IPO in 2025. The dashing past of the company’s co-owner Sergei Lalakin is not a hindrance to this. In 2022 and 2023, Iek Holding LLC placed two bond issues of 2 billion rubles each. each, in 2023 acquired the Russian assets of the French Legrand Group. The Russian government does not give away Western assets to just anyone.
Other companies of Sergey Lalakina - PKF Express LLC and Rozhdestvenskoye LLC - are engaged in hunting, trapping and shooting wild animals, including providing services in these areas. It’s very symbolic for the Podolsk organized crime group, but the companies don’t bring in any money. Lalakin’s partner in these companies is Evgeniy Borovchenkov, thanks to whom one can imagine the true size of the Luchka empire. Borovchenkov is a co-founder of Vostok LLC, which is engaged in the rental and management of own or leased non-residential real estate with 0 people on staff. But Vostok LLC has 10 founders, some of whom are the owners of two dozen companies registered mainly in the Kaluga region and operating in different areas of business.
The co-founders of Iek Holding LLC, together with Igor Lalakin, own Electroff-Engineering LLC, which emphasizes the continuity of generations in the Luchka family. His children and grandchildren will no longer have to go to shootouts with bandits; they now resolve all issues in cozy offices. But Sergei Lalakin himself cannot completely disown his criminal past. In March, a new investigation about the activities of the Podolsk organized crime group in Spain appeared online. Its police spent several years tracking the main suspects, Russian entrepreneurs Mikhail Danilov and Anton Pinsky, owners of the largest discotheque in Ibiza, Bora Bora. The Spaniards considered it the headquarters of several criminal clans at once. Among those whose money was laundered through Bora Bora was the former Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation (1999–2000) Boris Ivanyuzhenkov, now a State Duma deputy RF from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and Maxim Lalakin.
The recently released Shakro Molodoy also laundered money in Spain. The Cheka-OGPU wrote that Luchok tried with all his might to show that he was related to the release of thief No. 1, but was not successful in this. Despite the awards he received from the authorities, Sergei Lalakin over the years has not managed to get rid of the criminal trail that will follow both his sons and granddaughters.
