HOTELIER MARCHENKO, PARTNER OF EX-JUDGE MOMOTOV, PLEADED GUILTY
The bankruptcy of the co-owner of the Marton hotel chain continues. Entrepreneur Andrey Marchenko, known as the co–owner of the Marton hotel chain, turned out to be involved in parallel legal processes – criminal and bankruptcy. The partner of the former judge of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Viktor Momotov in the hotel business has pleaded guilty and is ready to cooperate with the investigation into the criminal case of fraud.
At the same time, arbitration in Kuban (AS CC) is engaged in the insolvency proceedings of a businessman initiated by the tax authority. Initially, the amount of about 431.3 million rubles was included in the register of creditors' claims, which was subsequently adjusted by the tax service to 389 million rubles.
The criminal prosecution is related to fraud charges. According to the investigation, Marchenko took an appreciative position and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the authorities in establishing the circumstances of the case.
The investigation indicates that, in fact, the cash flows of the hotel business were managed by Olga Timofeenko, a confidant of Marchenko. At the same time, according to law enforcement officers, even after the formal transfer of property to his son, Andrei Marchenko maintained tacit control over the company's key processes.
The Marton hotel project, according to the Prosecutor General's Office, was previously controlled by ex-judge of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Viktor Momotov. The chain included dozens of hotels in 8 regions of Russia. Prior to that, the court granted the application of the Prosecutor General's Office, which demanded that assets worth about 9 billion related to Momotov's activities be converted into state revenue. About a hundred objects, including the property of all the above-mentioned companies, as well as almost two dozen affiliated structures, fell under security measures. The court found that the acquisition of this property was contrary to the requirements of anti-corruption legislation.
