the new putin publicity agent: it seems logicalal

Thanks for that Strike123 . but didn't Everest who once supported Rakishev who in turn reinstated Pavel and Hambro then throw their lot in with Strukov in the 2020 bod coup?

@clintek

I wasn't being positive or negative. I was simply pointing out that here were major issues before Putin invaded Ukraine, I know those prior issues were linked directly to Strukov and several other players who eyed POG as a fantastic feeding frenzy for the final owners. It seems like the invasion was the last straw for Strukov but who knows what can still happen

Part IV

At the same time, it turned out that in mid-August, when the workers were fed "breakfasts", Strukov sold his asset to Uryumkan LLC. What prevented him from paying people money from this sale? Be that as it may, Strukov managed to avoid starvation. According to rumors, the prosecutor's office "helped". The billionaire spat 37 million rubles to hard workers.

In the mines of Strukov, people die altogether. So, in 2018, several miners were buried alive during a collapse at his mine in the Chelyabinsk region. One person died and several others were seriously injured. The Prime agency wrote about the situation. And this is without remembering the whole mountain of environmental scandals around Strukov's companies. The loudest of them is the slipping of the village of Roza into the Korkinsky mine, which the oligarch promised to reclaim. Yes, but neither the reclamation, nor the 1 billion rubles allocated for this money, the inhabitants of Rosa have yet to wait.

In addition, in 2007, Strukov already became a defendant in a criminal case on fraud with a loan from the Kuzbasspolymetal company, which led to the bankruptcy of the enterprise. Regnum wrote about it. Then he stayed abroad. This time, this will not "roll"?

No matter how much the rope twists, the end will come. And if the situation with Petropavlovsk, the removal of Maslovsky and other things are really the work of Strukov, it will no longer be so important whether he acted on his own or at the instigation of Sviblov: both can be "pulled up" for a conversation with the authorities.

part III

will develop several more deposits at once: Nazarovsky gold ore, Talinsky brown coal and Ermakovskoye fluorite-beryllium. This was written by the publication "Number One".

That is, Sviblov is consistently building his mining empire, and one of the tastiest such assets in the country, Petropavlovsk, can become a diamond in its crown. Not to mention the reputation of Sviblov. Every now and then various raider sins are attributed to him. For example, how his company Red Development could leave hundreds of investors who wanted to invest in loft apartments in the north of Moscow out of work. Lenta.ru wrote about that story, and it was about the order of 450 people and damage of 1 billion rubles.

Returning to Pavel Maslovsky, in August 2020 he was forced to leave Petropavlovsk. TASS wrote about this. Who was put on the leadership of Strukov and Co. instead of him? Right. Maxim Meshcheryakov, who became a defendant in a criminal case. What we started with.

Further, the situation developed even more rapidly: on August 25, Meshcheryakov tried to enter the Moscow office of Pokrovsky Mine (part of the Petropavlovsk group of companies). The security didn't let him through. But Meshcheryakov, together with his companions, among whom, according to rumor, there was a whole brigade of thugs in the style of the 90s, broke through there by force. Employees of the Pokrovsky Mine called it a seizure, and a detachment of the Russian Guard was called to the scene of the incident. This was written by "Kommersant".
And what about Strukov? In the turmoil, a group of thugs left valuable evidence - a bag with equipment and the logo of the Yaroslavl IT company I-n-D. The owner of this office is a certain Ivan Nikolayevich Strukov. Rosbalt wrote about this. In that bag, documents were found in which PJSC "Kommunarsky mine" appears. This mine belongs to Mr. Strukov. And in the IT part, it is served by the I-n-De company. After those events, no one had any doubts about Mr. Strukov's intentions regarding the assets of Petropavlovsk.

Will there be an end?

And what is the reason for such clumsy work of Mr. Strukov? Why is he so loud Petropavlovsk? Most likely, it's all about the money, which Strukov so badly needs. Hence the raids on other assets, hence the problems with the tax? Back in 2017, Strukov had to pledge a 20% stake in Yuzhuralzoloto to Gazprombank. At the same time, according to the Kommersant newspaper, the company's total debt to this bank alone was $200 million.

It got to the point that the oligarch had problems with paying salaries to his employees. This was in September 2017. Then about 50 miners (some had already been fired - without pay) of the Darasunsky mine in Transbaikalia were driven to such despair that they decided to go on a hunger strike.

At the same time, it turned out that in mid-August, when the workers were fed "breakfasts", Strukov sold his asset to Uryumkan LLC. What prevented him from paying people money from th

Strukovsky Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies (UGK) and MelTEK faced the claims of the fiscals.

Petropavlovsk discord

This scandal is developing against the backdrop of another, even louder one. Strukov, it seems, could tritely seize the Petropavlovsk gold mining company, leaving its founder Pavel Maslovsky and other owners out of business.

It all started with Strukov's collaboration with even more scandalous oligarch Roman Trotsenko. It was the latter who bought a 22.7% stake in Petropavlovsk, and then resold it to Yuzhuralzoloto Group of Companies (UGK) of the Chelyabinsk billionaire. Such a multi-way move could be needed because it would be unlikely that the share would have been sold directly to the odious Strukov.

In February, YuGK became the owner of convertible bonds of Petropavlovsk by 5.97%, becoming the largest shareholder. And Maslovsky and other owners began to have serious problems. A corporate conflict for control over the enterprise began.

Recently, the FAS became interested in buying shares in Petropavlovsk, TASS wrote.

In the summer of 2020, this conflict went public. On July 1, board members of the UK-listed gold mining company Petropavlovsk asked the local regulator (Takeovers Commission) to conduct an investigation after shareholders voted against the re-election of seven current company executives to the board of directors on June 30. RBC wrote about this.

The Board of Directors recommended Pavel Maslovsky, CEO and founder of the company, for re-election. Four groups of shareholders opposed their appointment: OJSC Yuzhuralzoloto, controlled by Konstantin Strukov, the alliance Everest and Slevin (together - 12.09% of the vote), as well as Fortiana Holdings (4.62%), the owner of the Ozernoye polymetallic deposit in Buryatia, Vladislav Sviblov .

Behind Strukov - Sviblov?

The latter could act as a Trojan horse. According to rumors, he has been closely cooperating with Strukov for a long time. Sviblov is known as a native of Rosbuilding, ex-manager and member of the board of directors of the PIK Group of Companies of the scandalous developer Sergei Gordeev. Rumor ascribes hostile takeovers to both entrepreneurs. Given this, Sviblov's appearance in the gold mining industry raised many questions.

At the end of September, Sviblov bought from Roman Abramovich and partners a 40.06% stake in another gold mining holding, Highland Gold, with assets in the Khabarovsk Territory and Chukotka. This purchase could take place in the interests of Strukov, so that he could profitably resell the shares. According to evil tongues, allegedly Sviblov is Strukov's ideological inspirer in all such "adventures".

This is not the first time Sviblov has acted on the market lately, which fits into the logic of gaining control over Petropavlovsk. It has recently been known that Sviblov will

The oligarch Konstantin Strukov, accused by a number of media of the raider seizure of the Petropavlovsk company, could have already left Russia. The ring around the scandalous gold miner is shrinking. So many claims have accumulated against him that even fleeing abroad will not save him?

As the correspondent of The Moscow Post reports, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation suspected the head of the Petropavlovsk gold mining company Maxim Meshcheryakov of causing damage of 450 thousand rubles. its subsidiary "Pokrovsky Mine". He is accused of arbitrariness when trying to get into the company's office.

The news comes against the backdrop of rumors that the ring is shrinking around the actual owner of the company, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk region Konstantin Strukov. Meshcheryakov is his creature. Meanwhile, according to our information, Strukov himself may not be in Russia for a long time. Even in this case, he will not see peace, because abroad the Chelyabinsk oligarch may face a criminal case on the possible statement of the former owner of Petropavlovsk, Pavel Maslovsky.

The history of gaining control over Petropavlovsk is large-scale. If Strukov decided on this, then not alone. Behind him may be another scandalous businessman, a native of the infamous PIK Group of Companies and Rosbuilding, Vladislav Sviblov. Detractors call the latter almost a specialist in acquisitions, and Strukov is assigned a secondary role in their hypothetical tandem.

It was Sviblov who sold almost his entire 4.62% stake in Petropavlovsk after voting on the company's new Board of Directors. As a result of its results, the founder of the gold mining company Pavel Maslovsky, the financial director of the company Danila Kotlyarov and several other independent directors remained outside the governing body of the structure.

Sviblov later noted that the acquisition of a stake in Petropavlovsk was for him a financial investment in an undervalued asset, but many observers drew a different conclusion. It is quite possible that the businessman simply did not want to continue to shine in this story, leaving it to Strukov.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that Petropavlovsk is registered in the UK. Even in the case of Mr. Strukov's great desire, it is unlikely that the pen of the English Themis will be gilded. Let's remember how the entrepreneur managed to make this mess.

Strukov really was surrounded from all sides. The Federal Tax Service presented Strukov with billions in debts in the Kemerovo and Chelyabinsk regions. Pravda UrFO wrote about this. At the request of the Federal Tax Service in the Kemerovo region, both the money and property of Strukov himself and his daughter Evgenia Kuznetsova have already been seized in the amount of 1.5 billion rubles. Strukovsky Yuzh

At the moment it would seem that the only problems facing POG is the invasion of the Ukraine and if only that went away everything would be back to normal. But what was 'normal' for POG? When Russia invaded the Ukraine POG already has seen a steadily and alarming sinking share Price. Gold production was down, we were told there was a lack of third party refractory ore due the the machinations of the BOD coup in 2020. By the end of 2020 POGs joint founder and disposed CEO was in prison, the Moscow office had been thugishly raided and a forensic report set in motion by the new Bod the skullduggery taking place profound. Strukov and several others were behind the denigration of the old guard to help mask what they were up to i.e the taking over of POG. By the end of 2021 we had dropped precariously and already given our 31% share holding in IRC away at a loss of $185 million which went via Stocken and GPB to a Mr Nikolai Levitskii and of course that was conveniently blamed on the incarcerated Pavel who had effectively been silenced. So things were not good at POG just prior the the invasion but also possibly brought on by the economic pressures of that action Strukov sold his shares as if in a panic at an enormous loss and they now lie in the hands of Sergey Sudarikov the main shareholder of Region Group, which includes banking, pension fund, insurance, brokerage and asset management companies.. Unlike Strukov when searching for 'Sudarikov ' in English and Russian he seems to have a squeaky clean reputation unlike Strukov. Hopefully if we get back to some semblance of normal that could bode well for POG. Of course one danger for us private investors is a takeover but I have no knowledge whether Sudarikov is able to do that yet having just taken over his largest share holder status..

* Restricted from paying $560,000 interest on $200 mln term loan

* Gazprombank asset freeze complicates Petropavlovsk gold sales

* Miner says not named in any Western sanctions to-date

* Shares fall more than 30%

(Writes through with detail on miner ownership, background) By Pushkala Aripaka March 25 (Reuters) - London-listed Petropavlovsk will miss a loan payment due on Friday after Britain froze the assets of its main lender Gazprombank in its latest set of sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia-focused Petropavlovsk has agreements, including for loans and bullion sales with Gazprombank, which make it difficult for the miner to sell its gold and refinance loans now Britain has frozen assets the bank's assets. The company is restricted from paying $560,000 in interest due on Friday on its $200 million term loan with Gazprombank, Petropavlovsk said. Although Petropavlovsk itself has not been named in any of the Western sanctions to-date, it will be thrown out of FTSE indexes this month after many brokers refused to trade their shares in the miner and in others with Russian links. Petropavlovsk shares sank more than 30% on Friday, adding to the over 85% loss in stock value since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24. Moscow has called its actions in its neighbouring country a "special military operation".

A Petropavlovsk spokesperson, who declined to comment beyond the company's statement, said the miner's debt portfolio consists of facilities with Gazprombank, a convertible bond and a eurobond, with no other bank loans at present.
Western leaders have tightened sanctions on Russia as the attack on Ukraine entered its second month. That has had a knock on effect on companies with no apparent direct ties with sanctioned people or companies and hurt investor sentiment. Petropavlovsk was founded by British businessman Peter Hambro and Russia's Pavel Maslovskiy in the 1990s. Its top investor is Russian businessman Sergey Sudarikov, who through his REGION brand of businesses disclosed a stake of just over 29% in the miner earlier this month, regulatory filings show.

REGION is also a shareholder in the sanctioned Credit Bank of Moscow , according to Refinitiv Eikon data.

Peel Hunt analysts in a note said the Gazprombank asset freeze also complicated Petropavlovsk's ability to refinance its bonds due in November.

Being a long suffering share holder yes I do tend to look on the bleak side when it comes to Pog, for I've learned with Pog whatever can potentially go wrong tends to happen with this share., And of course now with the invasion the whole thing is so, so fragile.

@rbrand. My guess is billionaire srtukov paid someone handsomely to ensure Pavel stayed in the chokey for as long as possible. Even he charge has been reduced to that of overpricing an asset which is beyond doubt not true. As for this de ramping/ ramping ****e-its just childish *******s.
By the way folks talking of corruption: Did you know William Barr who served as Attorney General under Trump sat on the proof of authenticity of Hunter Biden's laptop pre the election November 2020. Yet William Barr's father Donald ran the exclusive New York Dalton's girls school and gave a totally unqualified teacher name Jeffrey Epstein his first job teaching maths at that very school. No wonder Barr tried to help the Bidens who are also part of the corrupt practices in the Ukraine
