2023: Assets seized in England
In November 2023, the High Court of London arrested the property of former top managers of Inteko developer Oleg Soloshchansky and Konstantin Edel, as well as Svetlana Strelina for £24.8 million in England and Wales. The case is related to the claim of the Trust over the cancellation of the sale of the developer at auction in 2021.
According to Vedomosti, Trust bought out the developer Inteko in 2018, after which it sold it on its second attempt in 2022. At the first attempt to sell in 2021, Morden Finance Ltd, an offshore company from the British Virgin Islands, disrupted the auction, banning it from being held through the Nicosia District Court (Cyprus). Trust believes that Oleg Soloshchansky, Konstantin Edel and Svetlana Strelina were behind this company.
The newspaper's publication notes that England is not the main jurisdiction in the case surrounding the thwarted sale of Inteko. It is Cyprus, to whose court Trust appealed in January 2023 with a request to recover losses caused by the forced cancellation of the auction, a bank representative told the publication. The amount of claims is 2.85 billion rubles. The defendants are Morden Finance Ltd., a related Cypriot company and eight individuals, including Soloshchansky, Edel and Strelina. The Trust filed a statement about the arrest of their assets in the High Court of London due to fears that the decision would be impossible to execute and former top managers would withdraw all funds through controlled companies.
Oleg Soloshchansky was the president of Inteko, Konstantin Edel - vice president of strategy. According to the SPARK-Interfax system, by mid-November 2023 they are co-owners of the Uniservis real estate management company. Oleg Soloshchansky is a co-owner of nine more companies.[1]
