Trust “decided to cancel the auction for the sale of Inteko, which was to take place on November 16. This follows from the official statement of the bank of non-core assets. It states that on November 10, 2021, the Nicosia District Court, at the suit of Morden Finance Limited, prohibited Trust Bank and a number of other defendants from holding an auction. Despite the fact that the Moscow Arbitration Court refused the plaintiff to take similar measures in Russia, the bank decided not to shift the risk of losing the title to the potential buyer.
Morden Finance Limited, as told by its representative, disputes the transfer of Inteko shares by businessman Mikail Shishkhanov to Trust in order to repay the debt of Binbank and Rost-Bank. “We consider the alienation of shares by Aurevo Limited (previously owned by the developer. – Vedomosti) illegal, as it took place without the notification and consent of Morden Finance Limited, in violation of all corporate procedures,” he said. The company itself owned about 5% of the developer.
The beneficiary of the company is entrepreneur Ruslan Valitov, said its representative. According to SPARK-Interfax, its full namesake is a co-owner of PJSC Motovilikhinskiye Zavody, the largest shareholder of which is now the state corporation Rostec. And Valitov’s partner in the Zo-Ro Petroleum firm is Roman, the son of the head of the Russian Guard, Viktor Zolotov. Valitov, however, can act in the interests of the former top manager of Inteko Oleg Soloshchansky, sources told Vedomosti. He himself denied this.
Bank Trust planned to earn at least 37.5 billion rubles from the sale of Inteko. Among the contenders for the shares are developers – the Samolet group, Sminex, a company that is possibly related to the Region group and the structure of Uralchem shareholder Dmitry Mazepin and his partners.
