After the Central Bank introduced a temporary administration to Promsvyazbank, I considered that it would be right if each of us began to deal with our assets - those that historically managed. Now I have 100% in Technoserv, and my brother - 100% in Promsvyaz Capital.

There has not yet been a meeting in London. We'll get to the end anyway. The same applies to Messrs. Ananyev. The fact that people left the country and, in fact, fled with money does not mean that the topic is over. In any case, we will follow all debtors to the end, if this is not Russian jurisdiction, then it will be the jurisdiction where either there are assets or people are. Either money, or responsibility, there is no other, "RBC quoted Alexander Sokolov as saying.

On October 5, 2020, it became known about the case initiated by the Investigative Committee of Russia against Alexei Ananyev. He is suspected of giving bribes to the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) in exchange for patronage when concluding state contracts.

According to RBC, citing a source familiar with the case file, in 2015, unidentified persons from among the top management of the FIU appealed to the beneficiaries of the RedSis group of companies, namely, Sergei Gordeev and several other of his companions, whose identities have not yet been established, offering to provide information on upcoming public procurement for a monetary reward, which would help companies included in RedSys win trades and sell state contracts. According to the case file, Gordeev and his associates agreed.

According to the source, employees of the Pension Fund of Russia monthly received money from entrepreneurs from 2016 to 2019. Officials and businessmen agreed on joint preparation for participation in tenders: they compiled technical tasks and formed the initial maximum price. For bribes, they supplied IT companies with data from state contracts planned for conclusion by the fund: for the development of software, for the purchase of computer equipment and telecommunications equipment, for the purchase of rights to software, local computer networks and information and computing services. Also, FIU employees handed over to merchants the Pension Fund's informatization plan for 2016.

By the beginning of October 2020, RedSis is undergoing bankruptcy proceedings.  100% of the authorized capital of the company is  pledged  to Promsvyazbank, whose ex-co-owner was Alexei Ananyev.

The interests of the beneficiaries of the RedSis group of companies were represented by Vasily Vasin, who, according to investigators, involved his employees in the corruption scheme: technical director Alexander Lanin, director of the department for working with state social customers Dmitry Radchenko, financial director Konstantin Mogilnikov, deputy financial director Anastasia Telegina and head of the financial control department Alexandra Abramova. All of them knew about the relationship between the fund and their organizations, a source told RBC.

In 2016, RedSis was absorbed by Technoserv (at that time Alexey Ananyev owned the IT company). According to investigators, after the consolidation of RedSis, the businessman "continued to bribe civil servants and headed an organized group." The investigation established that from 2016 to 2019, the companies of Gordeev, and then Ananyev, paid 210 million rubles to PFR officials.

According to the UK, Redsis actively carried out state contracts of the FIU, as well as the Interregional Information Center of this Fund, from 2017 to 2019. The total amount of contracts amounted to 5.33 billion rubles.

Alexei Ananyev is accused of giving bribes to PFR employees in exchange for patronage when concluding state contracts

Ivanov "was responsible to Ananyev for the work of the entire scheme with state contracts," a RBC source said. Ivanov's episode was combined with other components of the Ananyev case.

According to investigators, in 2017-2019, Ivanov received from representatives of Technoserv a bribe of at least 4.4 million rubles. The representative of the Prosecutor General's Office said then that immediately after the arrest, Mr. Ivanov filed a confession, revealed the mechanism of the crimes committed, exposing both himself and other persons who participated in the corruption scheme.

According to investigators, the same people from the FIU leadership brought "to fulfill their criminal obligations" Dmitry Kuznetsov, head of the FIU information technology department, Head of the FIU Information Security Department Yevgeny Nikitin, Head of the FIU Automated Information System Infrastructure Management Department Ruben Enfiadzhyan, Head of the Procurement Department of the FIU Alexander Rudnev, as well as employees of the Public Services Department of the FIU and the State Institution Interregional Information Center of the FIU (including its leader Konstantin Yankin), a source in the UK told RBC.

Kuznetsov Dmitry, Nikitin Evgeny, Enfiadzhyan Ruben, Rudnev Alexander appear in the case of giving bribes to PFR employees

According to the interlocutor of RBC, Andrei Bogomolov, vice president of the Technoserv group of companies and Alexei Kopeikin, director of the department for working with government agencies, were involved in the corruption scheme.

The Pension Fund said that they are aware of the situation and provide assistance to law enforcement agencies. Rudnev and Yankin continue to work in the FIU by the beginning of October 2020, unlike the other mentioned employees.

I did not see a single evidence of involvement in the initiated criminal case of Ananyev, although I read the decision very carefully. Not a single evidence that Ananyev himself gave someone bribes, gave someone money to pay bribes or instructed to do this. Nothing like this is even close there. It gives only the opinion of the investigation, - said TAdviser Alexey Kirsanov
