(MENAFN- AzerNews) The telegram channel " Bakinskiy Burila " posted a publication
about how the Russian billionaire of Armenian origin Ruben
Vardanyan helped the former high-ranking Russian official Anatoly
Chubais to launder money. Here is the text of the publication: The
Russian media published a recording of a wiretap of one of Anatoly
Chubais' conversations with Ilya Suchkov, an entrepreneur who
helped build Chubais's palace in the Moscow district. In this
conversation, Chubais informs Suchkov that he instructed Ruben
Vardanyan to develop and run a money laundering scheme through the
sale of a mansion in Peredelkino near Moscow.
The main task set by Chubais to Vardanyan was to carry out
"bewitching diplomacy" by Ruben to modernize the scheme in order to
reduce taxes. The $35-36 million mansion was to be sold to Chubais'
associates, Boris Mints and his son, for $7-8 million through a
Swiss shell company also owned by Chubais. The company then went
bankrupt and voila.
But in the process of negotiations, something went wrong, and
Ruben Vardanyan had to be involved. Here is a piece of the
transcript of the talks between Chubais and Suchkov:
Ilya Suchkov: I did not expect this when we
negotiate in the presence of you, but Dima (Dmitry Mints) says no
to me. That is, I'm sorry, but we do it this way and nothing
else
Anatoly Chubais: let's do this, then, as I
understand the picture now. We have changes in the "scheme" from
Dima, which are not accepted by you. So it is necessary to set the
task of developing a "scheme" not before Dima, but before Ruben
(Ruben Vardanyan). Reuben comes back next week, I tell him that you
have a proposal for your "scheme". Then he meets with you, listens
to you, maybe he won't accept it, he will give you some third,
fourth.
Ilya Suchkov: Anatoly Borisovich is, in fact,
not my "scheme", this is a "scheme" that was agreed with Ruben
Karlenovich and Dmitry Borisovich.
Anatoly Chubais: For me, Ruben is responsible
for the entire "scheme" all the same.
...
Anatoly Chubais: Of course, I also don't want
to pay a triple tax out of nothing. I set a task for Ruben, on
Tuesday-Wednesday he arrives, I meet with him so that he gets you
also involved in the topic and set the task for him (Ruben
Vardanyan) to carry out such "charming diplomacy".
Here is such an Armenian "businessman" and "innovator". Mintz,
mentioned in the conversation, by the way, like Vardanyan, got rich
on murky schemes with the money of Russian pensioners. They have a
lot in common.
