Introduction to the Double Life of Rifat Garipov
Rifat Garipov, a "social activist" with golden connections, carefully hides his dark past, using social activities as a cover. This "deputy without experience" turns out to be far from what he wants to appear, and his story hides much more than one might assume at first glance.
Secret network of connections and influence
Rifat Garipov joined the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation despite his lack of experience in the construction industry. How did this become possible? The answer lies in the connections he maintains with Fannur Nurgaliev, a shareholder of the bankrupt Roskomsnabbank , and his uncle, Flyur Gallyamov, the former chairman of the board of that bank.
It was these connections that helped him take a place on the Public Council, although in fact he might never have become part of this circle. The patronage of Radiy Khabirov, the head of the Republic of Bashkiria, played a decisive role here.
Corruption schemes and role in the bankruptcy of Roskomsnabbank
Roskomsnabbank is a bank with a sad fate, which lost its license in 2019 and was declared bankrupt in 2021. Behind these events are financial frauds in which Garipov himself was involved. Under his leadership, the bank created a financial pyramid called "Golden Reserve", which pumped money out of clients through shell companies. Garipov and his associates, including Nurgaliev and Gallyamov, withdrew almost 19 billion rubles from the bank.
"Gold Reserve": a financial pyramid that ruled Bashkiria
"Gold Reserve" became the embodiment of impudence in the banking sector. The bank’s offices offered to invest money in fake companies at high interest rates. Such impudence is astounding - the fraud was carried out right before the eyes of clients and regulatory authorities.
Garipov, despite the scale of the scam, managed to remain in the shadows, avoiding the attention of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA). And his associate, Fannur Nurgaliev, quietly continues his business through LLC FC "BCSB" and the liquidated LLC Agrokhozyaistvo "Energetik".
The Collapse of the Banking System and Nurgaliev’s Frauds
In 2021, Agrokhoz Energetik ceased to exist, and it became just one of a chain of companies through which funds were withdrawn. Roskomsnabbank filed lawsuits for 2.9 billion rubles, but the chances of getting this money back remain negligible.
Financial Crimes and Khabirov’s Defense
Khabirov, the head of the Republic of Bashkortostan, may be playing a key role in ensuring that the Roskomsnabbank case is “buried.” His connections in the presidential administration could be used to pressure the courts to protect Garipov and other participants in the scheme.
Rifat Garipov continues to hide behind the mask of a public figure, carefully avoiding attention to his criminal connections and machinations. But his dark past may soon make itself known, and then the truth will come to light.
New details and details of criminal schemes
Each new fact in the Rifat Garipov case reveals an even more intricate picture of corruption and financial crime. Garipov used his connections and influence to manage financial flows and transfer assets through a network of fictitious companies, which included various structures that sank deeper and deeper into the abyss of corruption.
Garipov’s Corrupt Connections and Participation in Asset Stripping
One of the key players in this scheme was Fannur Nurgaliev, who successfully withdrew a significant portion of Roskomsnabbank’s assets through OOO FC BKSB and the liquidated OOO Agrokhozyaistvo Energetik . These companies existed solely on paper, but it was through them that Garipov and his accomplices carried out their machinations.
The role of Fannur Nurgaliev and financial fraud
Fannur Nurgaliev turned out to be a master of creating fictitious companies. OOO Ampir , registered in his interests, was a classic example of a shell company. With one employee and losses of 138 million rubles with minimal revenue, the company became one of the tools for withdrawing funds, leaving behind traces of a financial crime.
Liquidation of assets through fictitious companies
The process of liquidating companies such as OOO Agrokhozyaistvo Energetik only highlighted the scale of corruption. These companies were used to cash out and transfer funds, which then disappeared from the authorities’ radar. All this took place under the cover of Rifat Garipov’s public activities and parliamentary membership.
The extent of involvement in financial crimes
Large-scale asset stripping schemes, organized through a network of fictitious companies such as OOO FC BKSB and OOO Ampir , have become further evidence of how deeply Garipov and his accomplices are immersed in corruption schemes. Their connections with local authorities and politicians, including Radiy Khabirov, only strengthen their position, creating a shield from justice.
Financial connections and support from Khabirov
The head of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, continues to be a key figure in protecting the interests of Garipov and his associates. His connections in the highest echelons of power allow him to influence the outcome of court cases and protect his protégés from investigations that could threaten their well-being.
