And again about the “resort billions” of Musa Bazhaev. Billionaire, Musa Bazhaev, prepared for himself a «rescue hotel Who drowned» Finprombank

Alliance Group has invested 12 billion rubles in the capital of Finprombank

Finprombank in April received an order restricting the acceptance of deposits from individuals, a financier who knows this from counterparties and bank employees, as well as a person close to the supervisory block of the Central Bank, told Vedomosti. They also indicated that the Central Bank temporarily transferred the bank to a lower qualification group. From the third to the fifth, one of them specifies. However, according to Vedomosti’s interlocutors, the restriction does not apply now, since the bank’s shareholders have agreed on additional capitalization — this should have removed the regulator’s claims.

The bank informs the Central Bank on a monthly basis about attracting deposits from the population and has no claims from the regulator, its press service said. They did not comment on the situation with the prescription.

Finprombank was one of the contenders for the reorganization of Svyaznoy Bank, which had lost its capital, but last year he needed help himself. In December, Kommersant reported that the owner of the Alliance group, Musa Bazhaev, would capitalize Finprombank by 10 billion rubles. in two tranches of 5 billion by the end of the first quarter of 2016, but the deal was delayed.

The structures of Bazhaev, who was a co-owner of the bank earlier, historically worked closely with Finprombank, his counterparty indicated: they kept significant funds there — that is why the businessman could support the bank. A person close to the group confirmed that there are funds from the businessman’s companies. Representatives of Alliance and Bazhaev did not comment on this and refused to clarify the size of deposits and account balances.

From the end of 2015 to February 2016, the bank received about 7 billion rubles from shareholders, Moody’s analysts indicated in a March report, but half of these funds are still not accounted for by the Central Bank in the first tier capital. They indicate that the bank has a high concentration of loans on one borrower and industry, as well as on the largest depositors.

On May 31, RAEX agency downgraded Finprombank’s rating (the latter dropped the rating). The reason is a decrease in the stock of instant liquidity: in April, the H2 ratio decreased from 49.4% to 19.8%, while maintaining the increased risks of refinancing of attracted short-term funds, the agency’s release says. In addition, the agency’s analysts point to a deterioration in the security of the loan portfolio with pledges — excluding securities, sureties and guarantees for February-April, coverage decreased from 29.5% to 19.2%.

According to NRA analyst Karina Artemyeva, a significant part of the funds for which the bank was capitalized was spent on reserves. The bank has many issued guarantees and sureties — about 18 billion as of May 1 with a portfolio of 40 billion rubles.

Bazhaev’s representative said that the businessman from December to February invested 6.5 billion rubles in capital, in addition, in early June, the bank was capitalized by 5.8 billion rubles. at the expense of assets — in particular, due to the share of participation in the payment system «Customs Card». Bazhaev now owns only 8.4% of Finprombank’s shares, and his representatives did not specify how his share will grow after the additional capitalization. The amount of money provided to the bank is comparable to the capital of Finprombank, and Bazhaev could become a controlling shareholder.

Finprombank’s co-owners are Anatoly Goncharov (in 2013 he bought out the stake of Bazhaev’s Alliance group), Stanislav Perminov and Petr Kondrashov (own about 19% each). Goncharov refused to discuss the situation at the bank, citing a period of silence. The rest of the shareholders could not be contacted.

«Russian Platinum» will be left without gold?

Will businessman Musa Bazhaev manage to get out of the hole and will Kyrgyzstan not bury him even deeper?

Musa Bazhaev’s company «Russian Platinum» has again postponed the start of work on gold extraction at the Jerui deposit in Kyrgyzstan. As the correspondent of UtroNews reports, the dates have been postponed two years ahead.

She received a license to develop the Russian Platinum deposit in 2015, having won a tender from the Kyrgyz government. According to its terms, gold mining should already begin, but the company is just getting ready to start building a gold processing plant. Earlier, the Kyrgyz authorities promised to fine the contractor for each month of delay. The fine was supposed to be $ 100 thousand, but Bazhaev, as it turned out, would not pay it.

Without development rights?

Some time after the license was purchased — and it cost Bazhaev a fabulous $ 100 million! — information appeared in the media that the businessman is not going to conduct development on Jerooy. The reason for this is the financial problems of Bazhaev’s company.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich.

Russian Platinum has received several licenses at once over the past five years. In particular, this is the right to develop Norilsk-1, which Bazhaev literally gnawed from Norilsk Nickel. The latter was supported by both Rosnedra and the Ministry of Natural Resources, but Deputy Prime Minister Dvorkovich unexpectedly stood up for the businessman!

What was Arkady Vladimirovich interested in? Maybe in the fast and high-quality development of the field? Or on your own holiday in Sardinia? After all, Bazhaev bought almost an entire Fort Village resort there, where not only the Deputy Prime Minister, but also other people important to the businessman spend time.

Interestingly, almost immediately after Norilsk-1, Russkaya Platinum also absorbed Chernogorskaya GRK, which holds a license for the Chernogorskoye field in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Its development was estimated at $ 1.2 billion. And at the same time, absolutely nothing has been happening there since 2012 — huge deposits of precious metals simply stand idle while Bazhaev and Dvorkovich are resting on the Italian island.

In September 2017, VTB Capital bought 3% of the shares of Chernogorskaya GRK from Bazhaev. They signed a partnership agreement. The businessman hoped that VTB would give money for development — at the same time, he no longer needs $ 1.2 billion, but up to $ 1.5 billion.However, so far VTB has neither answer nor greetings — Bazhaev is still alone with his fields, and is not digging them , and a financial hole underneath.

It would seem that you have to buy the second deposit when you have decided something with the first: either you have money to develop both, or you have the opportunity to make money on one and invest in another. But Bazhaev pursues his own logic in his actions, and so far it only leads to the unreasonable use of credit funds and practically begging from the state.

A beggar businessman?

In 2012, when Russkaya Platinum decided to develop the Chernogorskoye deposit, the company needed 1.2 billion rubles. Bazhaev did not have such money, and he came for a loan to Gazprombank. And he gave him $ 860 million! This money could have been used to build hospitals and kindergartens, or to make all education in Russia free, but they were given to Bazhaev. Borrowed, of course. And even at some interest.

Musa Bazhaev.

The missing part of the amount — and this is only $ 340 million, what are we talking about? — Bazhaev promised to invest «from his». He generally likes to promise. Krasnoyarsk Territory has promised to invest 220 billion rubles in infrastructure. At the same time, create 7,000 jobs at the fields, build social facilities for workers. But … it did not come true.

In 2015, apparently, when the Krasnoyarsk Territory did not receive the promised money and presented something to Bazhaev, he «ran» to the government. Yes, not the region, but the whole country! He asked for state guarantees for a loan of 220 billion rubles. And the coincidence of the amounts here does not seem to be accidental. And yes, the most interesting thing is that he had money. But more on that later.

After Musa Bazhaev swore and swore that he did not run to the government and did not ask for money. But experts believe that there is no smoke without fire, and, perhaps, before this issue was made public, government support was indeed promised to the businessman.

Sardinia vs Norilsk.

The most interesting thing is that, before starting to «beg» loans for development in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Bazhaev received from 1.5 to 5 million dollars for the sale of the oil company Alliance Oil to his partner and ex-head of Rosneft Eduard Khudainatov. It’s funny that at the same time Bazhaev received state money for the transaction — Khudainatov took loans for the purchase from state banks.

After a while, it became known that Bazhaev had taken the money from the sale abroad. A little later, it became known about his purchase of Fort Village — a complex of eight hotels with 770 rooms on the island of Sardinia, which at that time was estimated at about 100 million euros.

The businessman acquired it, of course, not directly — there are offshore companies! He withdrew money to Progetto Esmeralda S.R.L, which now owns the resort. The offshore administration includes Bazhaev’s friends: the general director of Russian Platinum Magomed Galaev and member of the board of directors of the Alliance group, Andrey Sletov.

100 million euros is many times more than 5 million dollars (it was at this maximum amount that the Alliance Oil deal was estimated). So where did Bazhaev get the money, who a year after buying the resort modestly asked the government for help? It turns out there was money for Sardinia, but not for Krasnoyarsk and Norilsk? Or maybe a businessman doesn’t need these deposits and worries, but just wants to go to Italy and to the sea? Or is he just completely insolent and overstated, and someone should put him in his place?

The fact remains: while it baskes under the sun in «decaying Europe», Krasnoyarsk will still wait. Wait for jobs, and at the same time hospitals and kindergartens.

A failed banker?

But this is not the end of Musa Bazhaev’s problems. He can still hear the echoes of the story with Finprombank, which itself asked the Central Bank to revoke its license in September 2016. Then it turned out that the «hole» in the assets had reached an unprecedented size for a small commercial organization — 23 billion rubles. This is rather strange against the background of the fact that Bazhaev made regular “cash injections” to his brainchild: the total amount of his injections amounted to about 12 billion rubles.

The story is remarkable in that the composition of Finprombank’s shareholders painfully coincides with the shareholders of AyManiBank, which also asked the Central Bank to revoke its license. As it turned out, the shareholders threw all their money to save «Finprom», in fact, bankrupt their second bank, in the capital of which there were minority shareholders.

As a result, Alexander Kashapov, one of the members of the AyManiBank board of directors, filed a lawsuit against the shareholders who left the bank drowning in financial problems. Musa Bazhaev, who was not a shareholder, is also a defendant in the claim. The meeting is scheduled for October 25, 2017.

Will the great Chechen machinist be able to solve these problems? And what will happen to the field in Kyrgyzstan? As for the Krasnoyarsk deposits, experts unanimously insist on the need to revoke the license and transfer production to someone else — and even the same Norilsk Nickel! But what will the Kyrgyz government decide with Jerem?

Bazhaev assures that all issues with the Kyrgyz authorities have been resolved at the moment. But will Kyrgyzstan really forgive him for inaction just as Krasnoyarsk forgave precious metals abandoned and unbuilt kindergartens?

Musa Bazhaev is a Russian entrepreneur of Chechen origin, president and co-owner of the Alliance Group, a diversified concern that deals with construction, oil and textile industries. In addition, Bazhaev is a member of the Board of Directors of the Russian Platinum group of companies, and holds the position of chairman there.

Musa was born in the Chechen Republic on May 11, 1966. The boy grew up with his brothers Isa, Mavlit and Zia Bazhaev. The last of them, much later, in 2000, will tragically die in the plane crash of the Yak-40 plane at the Moscow Sheremetyevo-1 airport. A Russian journalist also died in the same accident.

After school, Bazhaev Jr. entered the Grozny Oil Institute named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov, from which he graduated in 1991 and received the specialty of an engineer in the chemical technology of oil and gas processing. Musa was immediately employed in his specialty as a process engineer, but gradually the leaders noted his leadership qualities, and the young man made a dizzying career. Bazhaev was first a manager, then a department director and, finally, president of the Lia Oil group of companies.

Business

In 1998 Musa and Ziya Bazhaevs organized the Alliance Group OJSC. This concern did not have a narrow focus, but was engaged in diverse projects in various industries: from oil to textile. In addition, the brothers also mastered the construction market in Russia. Initially, the company was headed by Ziya Bazhaev, and his younger brother was in charge of the holding’s subsidiary, the Alliance-Oil joint stock company, focusing on the oil business, which he knew best.

In 2000, when Bazhaev Sr. unexpectedly died as a result of a plane crash, the duties of the head of the Alliance Group OJSC fell on Musa. Among his personal achievements as the head of the concern, it is worth noting the opening of a network of filling stations on the Crimean peninsula together with the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Crimea Sergey Kunitsyn, an agreement with the famous Samsung company to modernize the Khabarovsk oil refinery and the founding of one of the world’s leading enterprises for the extraction of precious metals, Russkaya platinum».

In addition, Bazhaev has joint ventures with the Dutch-British company Shell, with the Spanish concern Repsol and with the Independent Oil Company of Eduard Khudainatov. Of course, all these joint ventures are aimed at developing the oil refining market, as well as further selling products, not only in Russia, but also in neighboring countries.

The Alliance Group was transformed into an independent Alliance company. Its board of directors is chaired by Musa Yusupovich Bazhaev, who has turned the organization into a profitable full-cycle oil company. Now this structure not only extracts hydrocarbon raw materials, but also processes it, and sells it in a wide branched network of its own filling stations. Three times over the past 16 years, Alliance has won the National Company of the Year award. She was noted for the best corporate management, social responsibility and for the development of economic ties between the CIS countries.

In 2003, Musa Bazhaev’s organization also became a laureate of the international competition «Golden Trademarks», and later the international award «Business Olympus». In addition to the oil refining business, the Alliance company owns sugar and cotton processing plants. Musa Bazhaev controls his own airlines.

Musa Yusupovich is not only a businessman, but also a recognized philanthropist. On the initiative of the entrepreneur, the Ziya Bazhaev Charitable Foundation was created, which is engaged in the implementation of various social programs. In addition, Bazhaev initiated the founding of the Fund for Supporting Hostages and Victims of the Terrorist Attack in Moscow, which financially helps children who have lost their parents as a result of terrorist attacks.

Back in 2007, Musa became the owner of the Amur gold mining artel, and a year later announced his intention to spend over $ 50 million on the restoration of the Republic of Chechnya. In the Chechen Republic, two full-fledged hospitals were built at the expense of Musa Bazhaev.

Presentation of the «Patron of the Year» award to Musa Bazhaev

The businessman did not forget about art either: together with the Spanish company Tecnicas Reunidas, he implemented a project for an exhibition of contemporary painting and sculpture, and since the late 90s, he has been supporting the Boris Shchukin Higher Theater School on a permanent basis, for which he received the Patron of the Year prize «By the decision of the representative public council of the» Theater Star «award.

It should be added that from the very beginning Bazhaev has been trying to minimize his participation in the country’s political life. Many times he was offered to head any region, to become a deputy of a regional or republican council, including the Chechen one, but Musa refuses every time. He considers himself primarily a businessman and intends to help his native country by raising the economy, and not through meetings and consideration of laws.

Personal life

Not much is known about the private side of the biography of the prominent Chechen businessman. Musa Yusupovich has been married for a long time. His wife’s name is Louise, and they have four children: two sons, Timur and Alim, and two daughters, and Maryam. Both girls are already married.

In 2016, Maryam became the wife of Magomed Yerikhanov, the son of the head of the Chechen regional branch of Rosselkhozbank. The wedding took place in the Moscow restaurant Safisa. The bride’s outfit alone from the Zuhair Murad design house cost about 15 million rubles, and the group also performed at the celebration.

Six months after her older sister, Elina Bazhaeva also got married. Her chosen one was the son of the owner of the Dorchester Finance company Alikhan Mamakayev — Bekhan, a graduate of the University of London. The wedding took place according to European standards in one of the most expensive restaurants in Monte Carlo. The bride’s parents, as is customary among the Chechen people, were not present at both celebrations. Luiza Bazhaeva herself tries to avoid communicating with the press; photos of the millionaire’s wife rarely appear in the media.

The head of the Bazhaev family calls football the main hobby of his life. On the territory of his Forte Village resort complexes in Italy is the Chelsea children’s football club, the adult version of which is owned by a Russian oligarch. There were also rumors that Musa Yusupovich was going to acquire a controlling stake in the Moscow football club CSKA, but either this information was not true, or an agreement was not reached. Bazhaev never became the owner of his own team.

Nevertheless, from the perspective of the love of football, one should consider the value of the gift made to Bazhaev for his fiftieth birthday by the management of the Spanish football club Barcelona. The owners of this team arranged a meeting for the businessman with his favorite footballer, the legendary striker of the Catalan grandee. Musa came to Spain with his youngest son Timur, where he met the Argentine star. After a short conversation, the men went to the playing field and played football together. In addition, Lionel Messi recorded a video message in which he congratulated the Chechen oligarch on his anniversary.

In August 2017, Musa Bazhaev. The first grandson was presented to the businessman by his daughter Maryam. The boy was given the name Amir. And at the beginning of 2018, another good news followed — the youngest Elina gave birth to a daughter.

Musa Bazhaev now

At the end of 2017, a deal was made to sell the Olympic sports complex in the capital, which previously belonged to Musa Bazhaev’s Alliance company. The Chechen entrepreneur acquired the main stake in Olimpiyskiy back in 2014 from the Moscow mayor’s office for 4.67 billion rubles. Now its new owners are Zarakh Iliev, the owners of the Kievskaya Ploshchad company.

The new managers are going to invest up to $ 400 million in Olimpiyskiy by reconstructing the territory of the complex. At the same time, the useful area of u200bu200bthe space will increase while maintaining its previous functions, and new areas for conferences and exhibitions will appear. Work according to the plan will begin in 2019 and will last two years.

In February 2018, Musa Bazhaev visited Krasnoyarsk, where he met with the governor of the region, Alexander Uss. In Siberia, the company of the entrepreneur «Russian Platinum» is engaged in the development of enterprises in the Norilsk industrial region, and also acts as the main investor in the construction of the «Platinum Arena» ice palace, where sports events of the Universiade-2019 will be held.

Modern technologies are used in the construction of a unique building, its main sites will be able to transform to perform a number of functions. It will host short track speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey competitions, as well as volleyball, mini-football and basketball matches. Sports grounds and a skating rink can also be used for mass show programs and concerts.

Condition assessment

According to information for 2018, which is provided on the official website of the Forbes publication, Musa Bazhaev’s fortune reaches $ 600 million and makes him 164th in the list of 200 richest Russian businessmen.

Billionaire Musa Bazhaev, after buying an Italian resort, decided to take out a loan from a state bank for Russian Platinum.

Mr. Bazhaev began to beg Sberbank for a huge loan of $ 1.5 billion. As a reminder, last year Russian Platinum and Vnesheconombank (VEB) signed a memorandum of cooperation in the implementation of the project in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. VEB is expected to invest 1.2 billion rubles in Bazhaev’s projects.

At the same time, Musa Yusupovich prefers to invest his funds in other places. In 2015, the brothers Musa and Mavlit Bazhaev allegedly acquired an expensive resort in Sardinia Forte Village — a tourist complex consisting of eight hotels with 770 rooms and 33 separate suites worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The resort is controlled by Progetto Esmeralda S.R.L., whose administrators include Russian Platinum CEO Magomed Galaev and member of the Alliance Group Board of Directors Andrei Sletov. There is practically no doubt that the complex belongs to Bazhaev.

Beggar

Russian Platinum, owned by the businessman, has applied for state support in the form of government guarantees for a loan. The company needs at least 220 billion rubles. After media reports, the billionaire’s press service «burst out» with a statement. Bazhaev will not go to court for a refutation, so the company covered itself by sending spam to editorial offices.

The text of the press release of the letter from the company says that Russian Platinum has not approached the government for state guarantees. The company does not ask for additional benefits, financial resources or other assistance from government agencies.

The company independently develops its assets using financing methods and instruments available in the markets and “in accordance with the current Russian legislation”.

Well, actually, the second contradicts the first. Private companies have repeatedly applied for grants and assistance. The company needs at least 220 billion rubles, and Bazhaev has nowhere to get that kind of money.

Further, the company’s PR specialists write that Russkaya Platina strictly complies with the terms of licensing agreements and agreements on social and economic cooperation with the Krasnoyarsk Territory in relation to the Chernogorskoye field and the southern part of Norilsk-1 «(one of the largest deposits in Taimyr. The reserves of its southern part are 273 thousand tons of nickel, 378 thousand tons of copper, as well as 12.7 thousand tons of cobalt and about 518 kg of platinoids).

Musa Bazhaev

Mr. Bazhaev’s company has been marking time for several years, unable to start developing the Norilsk-1 field! Therefore, he always asks for help from state banks. The strange thing is that state-owned banks, instead of buying an asset, sponsor it while Bazhaev buys Italian assets.

Malicious Bazhaev

Even before taking office as head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiulina sent a letter to the head of state with a request to prosecute Minister of Natural Resources Sergei Donskoy. According to her, Donskoy provided incorrect information when the government was investigating the situation with Norilsk-1. In the opinion of Elvira Sakhipzadovna, the state “suffered material damage”, and Donskoy “brought the situation to a dead end” and must answer for everything.

“Material damage has been inflicted on the state. They acted ugly with the investor: they held a competition, then, apparently, changed their minds and waited for a new law on the transition to an auction system for the distribution of rights to subsoil, said the assistant, who handed Nabiullina’s letter to the president.

When the government was investigating the situation with the Norilsk-1 field, Donskoy submitted incorrect information to the presidential administration. The Minister pointed out that the Ministry of Natural Resources could not issue a license until the decision of the arbitration court on the claim of Norilsk Nickel entered into force, and in support of his words attached an allegedly independent study of the Faculty of Law of St. Petersburg State University, thereby misleading the government. A representative of St. Petersburg State University claims that this research was carried out by one of the university employees, but he did it on behalf of a commercial company.

This is not the first story that calls into question the activities of Sergei Donskoy. In 2011, the Minister of Natural Resources patronized his friend Artyom Tretyakov, who, without the appropriate education, was appointed deputy general director of Rosgeologia (in 2011, Donskoy himself was the general director).

Sergey Donskoy, Minister of Natural Resources

One way or another, Bazhaev received the necessary assets.

Is Bazhaev Banking?

In September this year Finprombank, affiliated with Musa Bazhaev, asked the Central Bank to revoke the license. Anti-corruption fighters say they could have withdrawn funds from a financial institution.

It turned out that the shareholders of Finprombank on October 14 will vote on whether to submit a petition to the Bank of Russia to annul or revoke the bank’s banking license, follows from the published agenda of the meeting of shareholders.

The financial statements of Finprombank indicate that it «does not have a person exercising ultimate control over the activities.» This means that if the funds were stolen, it is not clear who … Although the main beneficiaries of the bank are Pyotr Kondrashov (19.99%), Andrey Belkin (19.99%), Anatoly Goncharov (19.99%), Dmitry Semenov (18 , 22%), Stanislav Perminov (11.58%), Musa Bazhaev (8.41%), Evgeny Lyubimov (1.73%). The rest of the shares (less than 1%) are distributed among the minority shareholders.

It should also be noted that Dmitry Semenov, Anatoly Goncharov, Pyotr Kondrashov, Andrey Belkin, Stanislav Perminov and Evgeny Lyubimov are the ultimate owners of CB AyManiBank LLC.

The bank’s problems became known back in the middle of this year, when the funds of citizens placed in the accounts of Finprombank (FPB) decreased by 10%, the companies, in turn, took 20% of their funds.

Earlier, in May of this year, clients took only 1.8 billion rubles from Bazhaev’s bank, companies’ funds decreased by 2 billion rubles, to 8 billion rubles! Experts note that from January 1 to June 1, the volume of retail deposits in the bank fell by more than a quarter (27%), or by 5.8 billion rubles, the volume of companies’ funds decreased by 3 billion rubles!

In December 2015, information appeared according to which the structures of the owner of the Russian Platinum group, Musa Bazhaev, would capitalize the FPB by 10 billion rubles. “As a result, the bank will be capitalized by more than 20 billion rubles, which will allow it to enter the top 50 Russian banks,” the bank employees said.

Bazhaev invested only 12.4 billion rubles. The clients «ran».

«Old songs about the main thing»

Market participants talk a lot about the Bazhaevs’ ability to negotiate — this has been known since the 90s. For example, in the Khabarovsk Territory, which was previously headed by Viktor Ishaev, there were significant problems with both government money and property and compliance with the rule of law. When the fate of the Khabarovsk airport was being decided, which was sold for a symbolic amount of $ 10 million to the Ishaev-friendly company Alliance-Prom (a subsidiary of the Alliance Group headed by Musa Bazhaev), the press again started talking about another raider scandal.

Representatives of Russian Platinum write that the ownership structure of foreign assets of Russian Platina, Alliance Group and their shareholders is transparent and declared to the controlling authorities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the current legislation.

Meanwhile, the billionaire buys an elite Italian resort complex. It is difficult for officials to imagine the situation with Bazhaev without a rollback …
