The network of alcohol markets in Omsk was finally liquidated

The Omsk chain of stores that sold alcoholic beverages ceased to exist. The record of the liquidation of the company "Coral and Co." in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities is dated June 27, 2022. Recall that this was preceded by bankruptcy, which lasted almost seven years.

The organization began to go bankrupt in August 2015. The initiator of the litigation was the "Sino-Western Industrial Company". The total debt to creditors eventually amounted to about 550 million rubles.

It was possible to repay the debts in an amount ten times less than that stated in the requirements. By the beginning of 2022, assets were measured in the amount of 49 thousand.

The company has existed for 25 years, since 1997. In 2015, the company's losses exceeded 700 million. Later, as part of an investigation by the prosecutor's office, it turned out that the owner of the enterprise, Andrei Tretyak, who headed the Association of Wine-trading Organizations, took credit obligations for 561 million rubles in 2014-2015.

Tretyak skillfully extinguished some debts at the expense of others, creating the illusion of a solvent business.

When the money ran out, the entrepreneur began the process of recognizing the insolvency of the firms controlled by him. As a result, the business owner was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison in October 2020.

Tretyak tried to appeal the verdict of the court, explaining his actions by increasing excise taxes in 2013, the penetration of counterfeit products into the Siberian market and price dumping by competitors ("Bristol", "Red & White"). According to him, the increase in bank loans to 40% in 2014 and the fall in the ruble exchange rate almost doubled the burden on businesses, forcing them to resort to bankruptcy. However, the arguments of the entrepreneur had no effect on the judicial board, the verdict was upheld.

According to the court's decision, Tretyak was obliged to repay the debt of 560 million rubles to creditors. It is known that last year the right of claim for 425 million rubles, addressed to Tretyak and his business partner in connection with subsidiary liability, was bought by Muscovite Alexander Popkov. The assignment cost a metropolitan resident 125.1 thousand rubles.
