According to the public Mash, he and his brother Yevgeny Gorkov owned 32 apartments, houses and buildings in Moscow and the Moscow region. Over the past three years, they have copied everything to their retired parents and Andrey's 23-year-old daughter Anna.
We are talking about an eight-story building on Zvonarsky passage for 600 million, about office space in Veka Plaza for 500 million, as well as a six-room apartment on Prechistenskaya embankment for 350 million and apartments in the Seventh Heaven residential complex for 240 million.

Managing Director for investment activity JSC "Rosnano" Andrey Gorkov was detained on Saturday, June 10, in Moscow. This was reported in the Investigative Committee of Russia. Today he was charged under Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of authority). Basmanny Court Moscow decided to arrest Gorkov until 9 August. The top manager was detained by employees of the TFR, the GUEBiPK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the SEB FSB after he purchased a ticket for a flight abroad. The defense asked the court to release the accused on bail. According to investigators, Gorkov in the period from 2011 to 2013, contrary to established order posted permanently cash"Rosnano" in the amount of 460 to 740 million rubles. in the Smolensk Bank under the guise of settlement and cash services, but in fact in order to finance the activities of the bank.
In December 2014, the bank lost its license, in connection with which Rosnano JSC lost more than 738 million rubles. At the same time, on the eve of the revocation of the license, assets were withdrawn from the bank in favor of Gorkov's brother in the form of real estate objects with a total value of 400 million rubles.
Gorkov does not admit his guilt. “During the interrogation as an accused, Gorkov did not admit his guilt in committing the alleged crime,” the investigator said at the court session. According to him, "Gorkov's guilt is confirmed by the evidence collected in the case, including the results of operational-search activities."
Gorkov's lawyer argues that the bank transferred large assets to the corporation before its license was revoked, so no damage was caused to Rosnano. “Before the license was revoked from the bank, Smolensky Bank transferred assets to Ronano corporation that completely covered the alleged damage, that is, the bank’s obligations, about which there are relevant documents,” the lawyer said.
The investigation establishes the whereabouts of Gorkov's brother Yevgeny. “The case file also contains a report from the district police officer, according to which it is not possible to establish the whereabouts of Yevgeny Vladimirovich Gorkov, since he does not live at the place of registration,” the case file says. Andrei Gorkov stated that his brother had not lived at this address for several years and was not registered.
The defense asked the court to release Gorkov on bail of 50 million rubles. Or put him under house arrest. According to the lawyer, "there is no reasonable and reasonable argumentation in the material about the need to choose such a tough measure of restraint for Gorkov." Gorkov himself said that he did not try to hide from the investigation, but went on a business trip to China. “I was going on a planned business trip to China, for which I had previously received the appropriate visa. I was going to return on June 15,” the defendant said.
The materials of the case, read out at the court session, say that the criminal case against Gorkov was initiated based on the results of an audit by the Prosecutor General's Office. “A decision was submitted on sending the materials of the check, which was carried out by the Prosecutor General’s Office Russian Federation in the corporation "Rosnano", in the name of the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia to resolve the issue of initiating a criminal case," the case says. The materials of the Prosecutor General's Office were signed by Yury Chaika.

The decision of the Moscow City Court in the case of Andrei Gorkov

Defenders of Andrei Gorkov, commenting on the new accusation, call it absolutely incorrect.

“The new accusation is so vague that it is impossible to comment on it. It refers to 2009-2010, when Gorkov was an employee in the finance and credit department. At the same time, the new charge is not connected with the old case, ”said Sergey Drozda, Gorkov’s lawyer.

Another defender called the decision of the Basmanny court arbitrariness.

“On the part of the investigation, this is a mockery of our client, who was presented with an absurd charge a year ago and who was held in custody for a year without conducting a single investigative action with him during this time and without providing a single meeting with his elderly parents and daughter. This is unprofessionalism, cynicism and arbitrariness. A procedural trick aimed at keeping our client in custody,” said lawyer Anton Golyshev.

court as show last news, agreed with the opinion of lawyers and decided to release Gorkov from arrest.

“The decision of the Basmanny Court of Moscow dated June 8, by which a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen against Gorkov, is canceled, Gorkov is released,” the decision of the Moscow City Court says.

Andrei Gorkov is from Belarus: he was born on September 30, 1970. Graduated from the famous "Baumanka" (Faculty of Power Engineering, 1993), then received economic Education at the Orenburg State University (1996).

He started his career at Orenburgenergo, in 1999 he moved to RAO UES of Russia (FOREM department), then worked at the Volga Cascade of the State District Power Plant (Director for Sales and Legal Affairs) and at the Stavropol State District Power Plant (General Director).

He has been working in Rosnano since 2008 (then - Rosnanotech). In 2011, he was appointed to the post of Financial Director, since 2013 - Managing Director for Investment Activities.

accusation

According to investigators, in 2011-2013, Gorkov actually financed Smolensky Bank by placing Rusnano funds on its accounts. On the eve of the license revocation from the bank, the money was withdrawn in favor of Gorkov's brother: in this way, the state-owned company lost its assets in the amount of more than 738 million rubles, the top manager's brother subsequently disappeared and is now on the wanted list. Gorkov categorically denies the charges brought against him.

The Moscow City Court today released Andrey Gorkov, managing director for investment activities of Rosnano, accused by the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) of embezzling 198.5 million rubles. The top manager spent a year in jail for abuse of power, the damage from which, according to investigators, amounted to 700 million rubles. At the same time, the corporation did not recognize itself as the injured party, and the prosecutor's office argued that there were no grounds for arresting the businessman.

Having considered the complaint of the defense and the appeal of the Prosecutor General's Office, the Moscow City Court overturned the decision made a month ago by the Basmanny District Court on the arrest of Andrei Gorkov, deciding to immediately release him from custody.

Andrey Gorkov was sent to a pre-trial detention center for committing a crime under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (large-scale fraud). According to investigators, in 2010-2011 he and unidentified leaders of Rosnano concluded agreements with their partners on investing in ESTO-Vacuum LLC, which was supposed to launch the production of automated vacuum installations for ion-plasma deposition and etching of micro- and nanostructures. The total budget of the project was planned in the amount of 1 billion rubles, with this money, by 2016, LLC was to produce 60 installations annually. However, an investment of 198 million rubles. on the part of "Rosnano" did not justify itself. In 2013, the business plan was recognized as a failure, since revenue in the amount of 19 million rubles. didn't fit him at all.

A new case against the top manager of Rosnano was initiated the day before his 12-month limit of detention expired on the first charge of abuse of power (part 2 of article 201 of the Criminal Code). The investigation believed that by placing 700 million rubles belonging to the corporation in Smolensky Bank, which was soon declared bankrupt, Mr. Gorkov caused damage to Rosnano on an especially large scale.

The defense of Mr. Gorkov from the very beginning of the investigation noted that he only acted as an executor of the decisions of the collegial bodies of Rosnano. So, in particular, it was when financing a project with vacuum plants.

The prosecutor's office, which opposed both the detention of Mr. Gorkov and the extension of his arrest, pointed out that both criminal cases against him were being handled by the same investigator, who was supposed to combine both episodes, and not investigate them separately.

In this case, Mr. Gorkov was not subject to re-arrest, as he spent a year in custody.

In addition, the defense of the businessman has already noted that while he was in prison on the first charge, investigative actions were practically not carried out with him. Lawyers believe that the TFR, having no evidence of the guilt of the top manager, counted on the fact that he, being in custody for a long time, would decide to admit his guilt in order to be released. The confession did not follow, and Mr. Gorkov was granted freedom by justice.

Today Andrei Gorkov was supposed to be released from the pre-trial detention center, but the court received a new petition for arrest. He is accused of fraud on an especially large scale. Experts say new accusations could mean another attack on Chubais

Updated 13:45

The top manager of Rosnano has become a defendant in a new criminal case. A petition for a new arrest of the managing director for investments, Andrei Gorkov, was submitted to the Basmanny Court of Moscow.

Today he was supposed to leave the Matrosskaya Tishina pre-trial detention center, as the term of his detention in the case of abuse of authority had expired, but the day before he was charged with fraud on an especially large scale. Defenders argue that this is due to the unwillingness of the investigation to prove the earlier charges. Here's what Business FM said Andrey Gorkov's lawyer Sergey Drozda:

- The case was initiated under the fourth part of Article 159. These are relations connected with one of the Rosnano project companies, and Gorkov has been charged with alleged involvement in the theft of funds allocated for the implementation of one of investment projects. The amount is about 200 million rubles.

- What years are these?

- 2009, the old years, already ten years.

- Hasn't the statute of limitations expired?

- Well, if we are talking about 2009, it has not expired yet.

- What is the investigation asking the court now?

- This is a new case, in this new case they sent a petition to the court for the election of a measure of restraint in respect of him - detention. In our opinion, this accusation is not substantiated, absolutely non-specific, from which it is impossible to understand at all what specific actions our client is accused of committing, there is no specificity at all. Some common phrases, so they don’t bring charges and don’t make them up. The case was opened yesterday, and yesterday he was charged.

- Accordingly, he did not admit his guilt?

“We believe the charge against him is unfounded. This is a defensive position.

- They say that it was such a tactical move of the investigation, since your client's term of detention was expiring.

- Indeed, in this old case, the term of imprisonment for a year, 12 months - this is the maximum allowable period for this category of crimes, expires today, June 8, and it was yesterday that this case was initiated. We believe that insofar as in relation to Gorkov during his detention - 12 months - not a single investigative action was carried out with his participation, not a single one at all, then in this way the preliminary investigation authorities are simply trying to hide the inaction committed during the investigation of the first criminal cases and prevent his lawful release from custody. This is our opinion.

- Will you simply ask to reject the petition of the investigation or, perhaps, transfer it to house arrest or release it on bail?

- We are now studying the case materials, naturally, we will object to the satisfaction of the petition. Rosnano's position in this regard is, as far as we know, that Gorkov's actions were lawful.

- And in the second criminal case, the victims are no longer Rosnano?

“I don’t know who the victim is here. Only yesterday the case was opened.

Gorkov was detained in June 2017. A criminal case was opened against him under the article “Abuse of authority”. According to investigators, the top manager caused damage to Rosnano in the amount of more than 700 million rubles by placing the company's funds on the accounts of CB Smolensky Bank LLC. In December 2013, this financial organization was withdrawn by the Central Bank. According to investigators, before that, about 400 million rubles were withdrawn from the bank in favor of Gorkov's brother.

In this case, it is necessary to deal with it separately, however, according to previous prosecutions of other managers, a small fraction of those violations and crimes that were actually uncovered by the Accounts Chamber were reflected in the materials of the investigation, the doctor believes. economic sciences, professor, leader of the “Party of Growth” faction in the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Oksana Dmitrieva:

“Rosnano was checked for the first time under Sergei Stepashin, and at the insistence of the Duma, this issue was kept under control all the time when Tatyana Golikova was the chairman. Therefore, the Accounts Chamber has done everything, the checks have been carried out very well. Another thing is that a lot of what was noted in the checks has not yet been properly investigated.

- But the information that appears in the requests, is it now in the Gorkov case?

- It's hard for me to say. Need to get acquainted. But when there were previous questions about Melamed, it was only the tip of the iceberg. And the numerous episodes that were in the report of the Accounts Chamber, in particular, the withdrawal of funds to the funds of Switzerland and Luxembourg, Rosnano Capital, a number of other facilities that were under construction, Ussuri Sibirskaya - they are properly, despite the exhaustive data, which were in the report of the Accounts Chamber, were not reflected.

- The case, in the end, can reach the responsibility of Chubais?

- In general, if you look at the report of the Accounts Chamber, then there are all signs of corpus delicti, since in several offshore companies Chubais was the direct founder.

The new charges brought against Andrei Gorkov do not exclude another attack on Anatoly Chubais, Konstantin Simonov, director general of the National Energy Security Fund, commented on the situation.

CEO of the National Energy Security Fund“It would seem that the government has been formed, and there is no need to discredit Chubais. But this is an illusion, because in fact there is a rather long struggle going on, the stake in which is not the formation of a cabinet of ministers, but an attempt to correctly allocate resources before an even more serious reformatting of power in the period 2021-2024. That is, the Cabinet of Ministers of 2018 is just a separate battle in a big war. Indeed, the power corporation looks like it lost the fight for the government, but this does not mean that it lost the war. In this regard, the war continues, and Chubais is still a fairly strong player. Moreover, the current configuration of forces after the formation of the Cabinet is rather in his favor. Not bad strengthened his allies, partners. And in this regard, the continuation of the fight against Chubais, the continuation of the fight against Rusnano looks like a completely logical story. And it is absolutely obvious that the conflicts will continue, and those clans that lost in the spring of 2018 will definitely try to take revenge. And I think that this is exactly the revenge we are seeing.”

In February current year former CEO of Rosnano Leonid Melamed and financial director of the company Svyatoslav Ponurov were released from house arrest. Melamed and Ponurov were charged with embezzlement of 220 million rubles, which were intended to pay for the consulting services of the Alemar company for Rosnano. But, according to the prosecution, Melamed was the co-owner of Alemar and, under the guise of consulting services, Ponurov and Andrey Malyshev (Melamed's deputy), arrested in absentia, withdrew money from Rusnano.

Rosnano stated that they disagreed with the accusations and said that they tried to pass off business processes that are usual for any investment company as a crime. Throughout the investigation, the company actively cooperated with the investigation and provided all the necessary materials.
