WIND GENERATORS FOR THE MALDIVES BROUGHT THE URALS TO BANKRUPTCY

Businessman Nikolai Sudakov, who lives in Yekaterinburg, began to bankrupt the Development Corporation of the Middle Urals (KRSU). The reason was a debt of 71.3 million rubles, for which a resident of the Ural capital did not pay off a state organization established by regional authorities. For the next four months, the arbitration introduced a restructuring procedure for Sudakov.

According to the EAN, the trial in the Sudakov case may be related to a loan that was previously issued to KRSU for the TD "Lifting and Transport Equipment" (PTO). The amount of 55 million was issued in 2015 in two tranches, and several companies and their beneficiaries, including Sudakov, turned out to be guarantors for the loan.

The purpose of the financing was the project of assembling wind generators with their subsequent sale to the authorities of the Republic of Maldives. Ural entrepreneurs planned to help a foreign state in ensuring its energy independence from fossil fuels.

As the media reported, the developer of the wind turbines was JSC "NPO Automatiki im. academician N.A. Semikhatov". The equipment itself was supposed to be produced at the Pyshminsky PTO plant, using the production facilities of a leading manufacturer of crane equipment in a similar way. In total, KRSU promised to allocate 150 million rubles to finance the project so that the company would purchase the necessary materials and equipment.

The developers promised to start producing the first wind turbines in 2016. In two years, 842 wind turbines worth 720 million were to be delivered to the Maldives, capable of generating 6.5 MW of power.

However, it all ended in a scandal. First, the main recipient stopped financing the loan, and then the guarantors joined the trading house. The inspection of the Federal Tax Service, which initially decided to launch the bankruptcy of a group of VET, including several citizens and four legal entities, soon abandoned this idea. It turned out that the defendant (JSC "Techtorg") does not have any property necessary to finance the process.

The inventory showed that the company has only accounts receivable of 70 million, distributed among other members of the group. It turned out to be impossible to understand who exactly would pay for the loan taken from the KRSU. The 1C computer database, in which information about the accounting department of the enterprise was stored, suffered as a result of a failure. The documents necessary for a clear understanding were burned.
