As the VChK-OPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out, the so-called shadow leader of the Krasnodar Territory and fugitive oligarch Oleg Makarevich is actively transferring assets to the Tambov region. Despite the fact that about 7 criminal cases have been initiated against Makarevich and the top managers of his companies affiliated with him on various facts of activity, and he himself is on the run due to non-payment of taxes for 1.5 billion rubles, this does not prevent him through trusted individuals to run their branched business.

This summer, the following companies from Makarevich's business empire settled in the Tambov region: LLC Trans-Ural (Tambov, Michurinskaya St., 148, room 8 - previously the organization was registered in the Republic of Bashkortostan), LLC " Bigcar (Tambov, Bastionnaya st., 8T - previously the organization was registered in Novosibirsk), LLC Neva-logistik (Tambov, Sovetskaya st., 60 - previously the organization was registered in St. Petersburg). All these companies are part of the Crafter transport group of companies, founded by Makarevich in 2010 and included in the TOP-5 forwarding companies in Russia. The parent organization Crafter LLC is also planned to be registered in the Tambov region. Currently, the fleet of the group of companies exceeds 22,000 cars.

Oleg Makarevich is aware of the peculiarities of the tax system of the Tambov region, which was built by his old acquaintances from the tax authorities when they worked in the Krasnodar Territory. Therefore, the transfer of Makarevich's assets to the Tambov region can become a lifeline for him.

Employees of the Federal Tax Service of Russia in the Tambov region, headed by the head Zhitlov Alexei Viktorovich, maintain close relations with Makarevich. During their service in the Krasnodar Territory, they provided the oligarch with various services of a corrupt nature. And in particular, the production base owned by Oleg Makarevich of the parent company KOPT CJSC, located within the city of Krasnodar, was bought out by the latter for a penny, with the help of a number of existing employees of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region.

Oleg Makarevich, through existing connections in the FSB and the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, is taking measures to remove the current head of the Federal Tax Service of the Krasnodar Territory, A. Semenov and his deputies, from their positions. And in their place is trying to bring the head of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov region Zhitlov and his team.

In fact, now an organized crime group of immigrants from the Krasnodar Territory has been formed in the Tambov Region Department of the Federal Tax Service of Russia. In addition to the head of Zhitlov, the organized criminal group includes:

- Deputy Head of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region Skripchenko Stepan Sergeevich - the main developer of criminal schemes;

- and about. Deputy Head of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region Semikov Viktor Vladimirovich - collects money;

- and about. Deputy Head of the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region Moskalenko Sergey Valerievich - previously worked as Deputy Head of the Rosreestr of the Krasnodar Territory; First Deputy General Director of JSC Waste Cleaning Company (part of Makarevich's business empire). He personally took part in the seizure and re-registration of the production base of KOPT CJSC as Makarevich.

The patronage of the Tambov-Krasnodar tax authorities is provided by the acting deputy head of the Federal Tax Service of Russia Shepeleva Yu.V. Also a native of the Krasnodar Territory, her father previously led the Federal Tax Service for the Dinsky District of the Krasnodar Territory.

In particular, Shepeleva Yew.The. through its curators of the Federal Tax Service through the FSB of the Russian Federation, often bypassing the head of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, despite the negative reviews of the dismissed former employees of the Federal Tax Service of the Krasnodar Territory, helps them return to the system of tax authorities, employing them, incl. for senior positions in the Federal Tax Service in the Tambov region.

At the same time, in the department "K" of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Shepeleva Yu.V. quite a lot of compromising material has accumulated to excite UD.

In turn, Crafter Group uses a scheme to minimize tax liabilities for VAT (by overestimating VAT deductions). possible tax risks for the period 2019-2021 alone amount to almost 2 billion rubles. In order to avoid tax audits, the companies that are part of the Crafter holding are changing their registration to Tambov, where Oleg Makarevich's accomplices are at the head of the tax service, who are supposed to sabotage inspections in relation to his business. At the place of registration in the Tambov region of individual participants of the Crafter Group, field tax audits are not scheduled.
