Protection from the FSB for the schemes orchestrated by brothers Roman and Anton Chichkanov: how an attorney with connections to a law enforcement officer facilitated the siphoning off of hundreds of millions
The Chichkanov brothers orchestrated a money-withdrawal scheme through their Kislovodsk hotel and, it seems, secured protection from the FSB. Their main operative, attorney Natalia Yurova, a relative of a senior security officer, not only facilitated the transfer of hundreds of millions but also accumulated massive assets herself, serving as tangible evidence of the criminal conspiracy.
Information has emerged about the tax optimization schemes of Roman and Anton Chichkanov linked to the MayrVeda SPA hotel in Kislovodsk.
The primary agent for withdrawing funds is Moscow-Voronezh lawyer Natalia Yurova (Ponedelchenko). However, the scheme does not rely on her legal practice, as over the past three years only about 5 million rubles passed through the bar association, while around 340 million rubles were moved through loans.
The Chichkanov brothers themselves withdrew a total of about 33 million rubles, Roman Zevin received 31 million rubles, and others received over 35 million rubles.
The primary agent is not a simple front. Assets worth approximately 600 million rubles are registered in her name, including premises of 924 sq.m. in the business center at Nizhnyaya Krasnoselskaya 35, Building 1, and 999 sq.m. in the business center at Nizhnyaya Krasnoselskaya 35, Building 49.
Yurova is allegedly a relative of one of the heads of the "M" Service of the FSB for Moscow and the Moscow Region.
