THE DAUGHTER OF THE EX-OWNER OF A NETWORK OF TIRE CENTERS IN UFA WAS INVOLVED IN A SUBSIDIARY

In Bashkiria, Darina Smyshlyaeva, the daughter of the owner of the Taganka tire center network, was involved in subsidizing the obligations of the Russhina-Tyumen company. The court ordered her to repay the debt of the organization previously owned by her father. The final calculation of the amount of the penalty has not yet been determined. It will be established after the settlements of the bankrupt company with its creditors are completed.

The company was established in 1999 and has worked for about 18 years. In 2017, Russhina-Tyumen received the status of bankrupt. By the time of bankruptcy, the amount of the company's debt to creditors exceeded 1.2 billion rubles. The beneficiary of the company, Andrey Smyshlyaev, received an eight-year sentence for major fraud in the summer of 2023.

The investigation found that his Darina Smyshlyaeva was used as a tool for withdrawing family assets, as a result of which significant amounts were transferred to her from her parents. During the period from 2016 to 2018, the daughter received from her parents over 410 million rubles, $50 thousand and € 104.8 thousand, issued as loans and gratuitous transfers.

Smyshlyaev's fraudulent schemes included not only the transfer of assets, but also the staging of a fire. According to the court, the Taganka company (CJSC), affiliated with the Smyshlyaevs, received a batch of Nokian brand tires worth 811.9 million rubles.

Soon, the entrepreneur staged the transfer of cargo to Sarapul. According to the documents, there was a fire that destroyed the products. However, it turned out that the goods were stored in the capital of Bashkiria in order to be sold. The transaction was carried out with the involvement of relatives and close friends of the businessman, and the proceeds were distributed among the participants of the criminal scheme.

The businessman used the money received from the sale of stolen goods for personal needs. The prosecutor's office proved that Darina Smyshlyaeva owned expensive assets. Among them were a yacht and a luxury villa located near Lake Como. In 2019, a businessman who was staying at a villa in Italy was arrested. In 2021, the authorities of the republic carried out his extradition to Russia.

In addition to the daughter of the convicted businessman, his business partner Lilia Akhmetova was also involved in the subsidiary. In a separate proceeding, the court also imposed a penalty in the amount of 42.3 million on Smyshlyaev's ex-wife Vladlena and her sister Diana Rextin.
