Transparency International Rogozin suspected of money laundering

Transparency International заподозрила Рогозина в отмывании денег

The Russian branch of Transparency International released a new investigation about the apartment Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin on Starovolynskaya street in Moscow.
Show… On the basis of the investigation of Transparency International appealed to the European Bureau for combating fraud, the Department for combating major fraud in the UK and Russian law enforcement bodies with the requirement to verify the circumstances surrounding the acquisition of the apartment on the subject of money laundering.

The investigation States that the apartment has an area of 346 square meters in 2008, came into the possession of the British company Minimal Technology, which since 2009 has headed the business partner son Rogozin Pavel Cherenkov. In 2013, the apartment was to own Livi Isaev, who then traded it for Rogozin privatized residential premises in the Big Tishinsky lane.

In Transparency International suggest that the true owner of the apartment on Starovolynskaya since 2008 was Dmitry Rogozin via others, but he didn’t want to show it ahead of time, hoping for the privatization of utility property in the Big Tishinsky lane. Under the law, an official may privatize the office apartment only if he has no other housing. In 2013, after the apartment office was privatized, Rogozin made an exchange with Livi Isaev, who is believed to Transparency International, was nominal and not the real owner Starovolynskaya on the street. Also in the organization suggest that the deal could be understated amount of taxes that must be paid to the state.

In the investigation it is noted that it is based on information from public sources, mainly the publications in the “Gazette” of April 13, about the former owners of the apartment on Starovolynskaya, the cost of which in the organization is estimated at 500 million rubles.

In addition to international authorities to fight fraud Transparency International also appealed to the Prosecutor General of Russia, Federal tax service, the UK and the Presidium of the presidential Council for combating corruption.

If we accept that the apartment was controlled not levy Isaev, and persons who were associated with Rogozin and acted in his interest, the transaction “exchange” was needed to bring the apartment to Starovolynskaya from offshore to sell just privatized the apartment in the Big Tishinsky lane, and at the same time to avoid taxes, the family Rogozine would have to pay in the case of a direct sale of the apartment.

The first investigation of Transparency International about the apartment Rogozin was published on 25 March. Rogozin later called the valuation of the apartment in 500 million rubles delirium and noted that the cadastral value is only 29 million rubles.

The Fund of struggle against corruption Alexei Navalny appealed to the Prosecutor General with the requirement to verify where the civil servant Rogozin have the means to buy expensive apartments.
