However, the court confirmed the legality of the requirements of Uralhim (Minority shareholder of TOAZ) to Tometa in the amount of 77.3 billion rubles – in favor of PJSC Togliattiazot and 10.3 billion rubles in favor of Uralhim itself.
The cassation instance also confirmed the powers of the arbitration manager of Tomet LLC Anatoly Selishchev. Earlier, on March 3, the decree of the Arbitration Court of the Samara Region terminated the powers of the previously current management bodies of Tomet LLC. Anatoly Selishchev was appointed arbitration manager, who decided to continue the production activities of the plant and preserve the labor collective.
The arbitration trial of the Volga district had to act in harsh pressure from Togliattiazot. Numerous messengers of the beneficial owners of Togliattiazot – the Makhlaev family tried to persuade the court to make the decision in their favor. For this, attempts were made to the judges of large amounts of money. In addition, through intermediaries, the owners of TOAZ tried to put on court through higher courts. However, neither corruption nor administrative methods they managed to persuade the court in their direction. The Arbitration Court of the Volga District remained guard of the law, confirming the principles of independent and objective proceedings.
In January 2020, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Sergei Makhlaya, one of the beneficiaries of TOAZ, and Alexander Popov, the former chairman of the Togliattihimbanka, for trying to give a bribe to judges of the RF Armed Forces in exchange for the accrued Federal Tax Service of Taxes
