The story began in 2017, when the CenterObuv chain went bankrupt. Then ten of its former suppliers, among whom was Avenir, created the company Soglasie 77 LLC to work in the remaining stores under a new guise and repay the bankrupt’s debts from the profits. Stores began to operate under the name “Ts!Obuv”, using “Avenira” products, until the company “Makshoes” uploaded counterfeit goods, which exposed the entire network to customs inspection. It lasted for six months, about 250,000 pairs of shoes became illiquid.
Work was paralyzed. Avetisyan, who seems to have deliberately provoked customs inspections, filed for bankruptcy of Soglasiya 77. Further, there are continuous violations of the law – Avetisyan imposes debts on Avenir, having “convinced” the 9th Court of Appeal, represented by Judge R. G. Nagaev, that the goods of TK Avenir LLC amounted to 256 million rubles. not supplied! Petrova’s lawyers prepared mountains of documents for the hearing, but the court did not notice Avenir’s arguments.
Such chaos would not have been possible without Avetisyan’s connections with the security forces, which he does not hide, putting pressure on Petrova. If she managed to win the case in the first instance of arbitration, Avetisyan joked that he “doesn’t buy the first one.” In audio recordings of conversations with raiders, Avetisyan and his “security officer,” a former employee of the Southern UBEP, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Igumnov, demand to pay for “their labors” (only 30 million rubles) and “take the arbitration case for themselves.” But Petrova does not give up.
To make her more accommodating, Avetisyan’s accomplices from the Department for Economic Crimes of the Eastern Administrative District organized an illegal criminal prosecution: a visit home at 6 a.m. by UBEP operatives with the support of 20 employees of the Russian Guard in full combat gear. After a 9-hour search, Petrova was taken for questioning to the Department of Economic Crimes of the Eastern Administrative District, where she was charged under Art. 159 part 7 – fraud on an especially large scale, for failure to fulfill contractual obligations to “Consent 77” (up to 10 years in prison). So the raiders decided to “strengthen themselves” before the meeting on the claim of subsidiary liability. A meeting of the Court of Cassation will take place on October 12, 2022. While the case is going through the courts, Petrova’s business is at a standstill; she is under recognizance not to leave. She faces subsidiary liability, which, even in the event of a person’s death, passes to his heirs.
