THE PROPERTY OF THE BANKRUPT ALLIANCE-AGRO WAS PUT UP FOR SALE
The assets of the bankrupt firm Alliance-Agro were put up for auction on November 20, 2024. Information about their conduct is posted on the Sberbank-AST Internet platform. Several lots included an elevator, an office, two KAMAZ vehicles and a front loader.

The most expensive object of them was an elevator, the initial cost of which amounted to 158.7 million rubles. The initial price of each truck is 284.7 thousand. Dmitry Zhikharenko, who was approved for the role of bankruptcy trustee, is organizing the auction.

Alliance-Agro conducted wholesale grain trade. In 2018, the company faced financial difficulties. According to the "Commercial News", the reason for the problems that began were the claims of the tax authorities. Later, other companies joined the process. Claims against the trading structure were made by "Zyvaevsky elevator", SEC "Tavolzhan" and "Shchelkovo-Agrochem". As a result, the company was declared insolvent in the spring of 2022.

Along with financial problems, the company found itself at the center of criminal proceedings. In 2020, law enforcement agencies had grounds to bring Alexander Kovalev, who headed the company, to justice. The investigation found that the head did not repay the debts on tax obligations, resorting to a fraudulent operation and hiding the money from the fiscal.

According to the information available to investigators, in 2008 Kovalev signed a deal with Shchelkovo-Agrochem. The company was given the authority of a dealer. As a result, Alliance-Agro received a batch of grain under the contract, which was sold. However, the revenue of 35 million was appropriated by the head.

The investigation found that a similar operation was carried out with other structures. Kovalev was actually the head of the Blagodarovskoye society and organized the theft of funds and grain from other enterprises. The company has to pay taxes, which its head knew very well. But Kovalev was in no hurry to use the company's accounts to pay off his counterparties. As a result, over 3.7 million were hidden from the tax authorities.

Despite the severity of the charges, the case ended ambiguously. The Kirov district court of the Omsk region issued a guilty verdict at the end of 2021. Kovalev, who was found guilty, was ordered to pay 200 thousand as a fine. But he was released from the actual punishment, since the statute of limitations for this had expired. It was not possible to prove a major fraud. The court referred to the absence of corpus delicti in the actions of the head of the company.
