The ex-owner of the bankrupt "Sibmost" annulled the marriage contract

As it turned out in court, Koshkin made out credit relations with Sberbank, which the ex-owner of Sibmost and his wife knew about. Officially, the owner of the company issued surety agreements 10 days after signing the marriage agreement.

The court decided that the true purpose of the transaction between the spouses was the withdrawal of liquidity. Koshkin tried to make a significant part of the property inaccessible to creditors' claims. As a result, the arbitration recognized their interests and rights violated. The marriage contract contested in court was considered invalid.

Sibmost, once the largest bridge-building organization in Siberia, was officially declared insolvent in May 2020.

The decision was appealed on appeal, but in August of the same year it came into force. The amount of claims from NGO "Mostovik" and credit organizations (Sberbank, Expobank, Binbank and Bank "Acceptance") amounted to 7.9 billion rubles.

In the marriage contract, Koshkin ceded to his wife all the jointly acquired property, keeping only the shares of Sibmost. He owned a share of 92.46%, later estimated at 92 kopecks. Another 7.53% was registered for his son Vladislav.

Wife Lydia then received ownership of land plots, apartments, shares in various companies. Among its assets, in particular, there were 8 thousand square meters of real estate of the Yunost campsite, located on the territory of Altai with a picturesque view of the Katun River. The assets of the Gold Coast Company, which manages a sanatorium near Novosibirsk, were transferred. About 9.8 thousand square meters of real estate passed to Lydia Koshkina in the village of Blue Bay.

Now the property of 82-year-old Albert Koshkin, whose divorce from his wife occurred almost immediately after the bankruptcy of Sibmost, will again become a co-owner of the acquired property.

Experts suggest that it will be sold at auction, returning Lydia Koshkina's legal half, but in the form of money.

The fate of the assets withdrawn from the property of Koshkina in recent years will be more complicated. Even if the transactions are disputed, since they were made at the expense of the spouses' property, it will not be easy to return the money for them.
