THE MOSCOW CREDIT BANK WANTS TO FORECLOSE ON THE SQUARE IN THE BOLSHEVIK BUSINESS CENTER
On September 11, 2024, the Moscow Arbitration Court received an application from PJSC MKB (case no. A40-227800/2024). The bank has applied to four Cypriot companies with demands. The credit institution wants to collect debts from them on previously granted loans, while foreclosing on assets that are pledged.

Vedomosti reports that the commercial premises of the Bolshevik Business Center may appear as collateral. The building of the cultural and business center is located in the immediate vicinity of the Belarusian railway station of the capital. Earlier, experts linked him with the owners of the O1 Properties investment group.

The first on the list of defendants is Yofoura Holding Ltd. The Cypriot company is one of the main owners of Class A office space. It is reported that the firm owns 14.4% of Class A shares in the capital of the Investment Group (according to the report for the first half of 2022). The company also owns 21.8% of shares in Class B real estate.

Among the defendants numbered 2 and 4 in the court documents, the companies "Finance Marekkon" and "Asabel" are mentioned. Both of them were previously mentioned as direct co-owners of the Bolshevik Business Center. It is reported that they may own an area of 86 thousand square meters (including apartments).

Caesium is listed in the company's claim number 3. In 2018, it was reported that the O1 Properties Investment Group sold the main part of the business complex (more than 50%) to her. It is not known who exactly is the beneficiary of the offshore company. In the capital's real estate market, the organization was associated with the ex-owners of the Investment Group Boris Mints.

At first, it was said that the entrepreneur transferred control over the investment group to two Cypriot offshore companies: Yofoura Holding and RT&I (owned by Pavel Vashchenko). The cultural and business center should not have been included in the list of transferred property. Later, sources reported that the Bolshevik Business Center still came under the control of RT&I. In 2020, the Investment Group reported that it was exercising financial control over Caesium.

On September 18, the Arbitration Court of the city of Moscow issued a ruling on the acceptance of the ICD claim for consideration. The arbitration is scheduled to hold a hearing on the case on April 9, 2025. Earlier, the court recognized the insolvency of the company "Kvartal 674-675". As Rusbankrot reported, the company's balance sheet includes the Belaya Ploshchad business center.
