2023: Withdrawal of Uralbiopharm shares in favor of the state
In mid-August 2023, the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg satisfied the claim of the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Igor Tkachev and seized from the former State Duma deputy Malika Gaysin the shares of the Uralbiopharm company worth 3 billion rubles in favor of the state.
The Prosecutor General's Office believes that in the period from 1995 to 1999. Gaysin, being a deputy of the State Duma, at the same time - in violation of anti-corruption bans - was engaged in entrepreneurial activities. In particular, he personally and through proxies bought up shares in Uralbiopharm OJSC, as a result of which he became the monopoly owner of the organization with a beneficial interest of 99.995%.
To avoid problems with the law, Malik Gaysin established two companies: Vagran LLC and Aktay-M LLC, for which he issued shares in Uralbiofarm (each has a 24.9% stake in Uralbiofarm), Igor Tkachev is sure. Shares in the authorized capital of these firms are also subject to withdrawal.
According to Gaysin himself, in 30 years of open ownership of assets by regulators, there were no claims against him. He claims to have bought shares during privatisation at check auctions and from individuals. He suspects that the lawsuit against him is filed "in the interests of individuals."
In the spring of 2023, the chief technologist of Uralbiofarm Marina Chizhova appealed to the authorities with a proposal to index prices for drugs from the VED list once a year - to the inflation rate. She explained that the cost of most of the drugs is higher than the maximum prices set by the state, in connection with which the company is sometimes forced to refuse to produce some products.
There is nothing surprising in the Gaysin case - the process of illegal enrichment took place in the 90s almost everywhere, Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, told Izvestia. Public property often passed into private hands illegally. This probably happened with the Sverdlovsk pharmaceutical plant, which in 1996 was privatized and renamed Uralbiopharm OJSC, he suggested.[1]
2025: Seizure of property
The court arrested the property of the ex-owner of Uralbiopharm Malika Gaysin in the amount of more than ₽22,7 million. The decision was made by the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region on March 6, 2025. The movable and immovable assets of Malika Gaysin and the ex-leaders of the pharmaceutical enterprise were arrested. Measures were taken as part of the company's claim to recover losses from former members of the board of directors.
According to Kommersant, interim measures are also imposed on the property of the son of Malika Gaysin - Aydan Gaysin, as well as Gulsina Mullakhmetova, Stanislav Grishelev and Igor Moroz, who were previously members of the board of directors of Uralbiofarm.
In justifying its decision, the court pointed out the presence of a large-scale corporate conflict between Uralbiopharm JSC and persons who were previously management bodies of the company. Representatives of the pharmaceutical enterprise in their statement of claim stressed that the amount of losses in the amount of about ₽23 million is significant for the company.
The plaintiff also noted that these funds could be used to fulfill state contracts and the production of medicines, which is especially important in the context of a special military operation. The court found the presented arguments justified and satisfied the requirement to impose interim measures.
Gaysin is at the center of a series of legal challenges. In August 2023, the court satisfied the claim for Prosecutor General's Office Russia recovery in favor of states the Uralbiopharm enterprise, the commercial bank "," Resident of Vyatka as well as shares in the authorized capital of Vagran LLC, Aktai-M LLC and Corona Tekhet LLC, which belonged to the businessman.
In February 2024, at the suit of the Prosecutor General's Office, ₽690 million were seized from the former deputy as compensation for losses, which, according to the position of the supervisory authority, the state suffered because of his activities as general director of the Iset electrical connection plant.
In September 2024, the court made a second decision on the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office on the withdrawal of the Iset plant into state revenue. According to the supervisory authority, Malik Gaysin, being a State Duma deputy in 1995-1999, used the enterprise for personal enrichment, which is a violation of anti-corruption legislation.[2]
2026: Seizure of assets for 1 billion rubles
The Kirovsky District Court of Yekaterinburg, at the suit of the prosecutor's office, turned the assets of the former State Duma deputy Malika Gaysin into state revenue for a total amount of over 1 billion rubles. We are talking about the seizure of two companies (Corona Takhet and Indra-M), which own more than 300 land plots. This was reported by the press service of the prosecutor's office of the Sverdlovsk region on February 3, 2026.
According to the supervisory authority, the formation of the assets of Corona Takhet and Indra-M took place at the expense of the property of legal entities that had previously been turned into state revenue on corruption grounds under the claims of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation. It was established that between 1996 and 2000, Malik Gaysin, as a deputy, participated in the management of commercial structures and secretly owned them, making a profit and developing a business, which is prohibited for a parliamentarian.
According to Kommersant, this is not the first confiscation of the ex-deputy's assets. On August 15, 2023, the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg satisfied the claim of the Prosecutor General's Office to appeal to the state shares of Uralbiofarm, the commercial bank Vyatich and shares in the authorized capital of Vagran and Aktay-M enterprises in the amount of more than 3 billion rubles.
In 2024, the same court seized the Iset electrical connection plant. According to investigators, Gaysin, being a member of the Duma Committee on Budget and Finance, used official information to buy assets in the supervised industry. He used the Iset plant in his personal interests, withdrawing funds to controlled companies, which damaged the fulfillment of the state defense order.
According to Kommersant, in parallel, the Leninsky District Court of Yekaterinburg is considering two criminal cases against Malika Gaysin. According to one of them, he is accused of abuse of authority (part 1 of article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and embezzlement on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) 333 million rubles of the Iset plant in the period from 2016 to 2018. In the second case, he is charged with embezzlement (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) another 256 million rubles of the same enterprise. The consideration of cases is repeatedly postponed due to the poor health of the accused.[3]
