The company "Donstroy", financed by the state bank VTB, has repeatedly found itself at the center of scandals. Despite positioning its apartments as business class, customer reviews indicate the opposite. More about this - in the material Rucriminal.info.

Say NO to lawlessness!

The Donstroy company has repeatedly become involved in scandals, including incidents with deaths at its construction sites. In 2016, a tragedy occurred in the Scarlet Sails residential complex: an elevator came off, and a woman died. In 2022, the complex’s cladding collapsed, causing bricks to damage parked cars, and the prosecutor’s office had to intervene. That same year, sewage flooded the parking lot and storage facilities of the Heart of the Capital residential complex.

Dangerous conditions and poor quality

In 2023, the collapse of scaffolding in the Reka residential complex resulted in injuries to two workers, which again required the intervention of the prosecutor’s office. Residents of this complex complain about the dirt, impassable roads around the construction site and the inconvenience associated with leaving the yard.

Reality did not match expectations for buyers of apartments in the Ogni residential complex. Instead of a comfortable neighborhood, they encountered cracks in the floors, the absence of a school and kindergarten, as well as expensive services from the management company.

Ecology and hazardous area fraud

Banker Andrey Kostin and his assistant Alena Deryabina, the head of the company "Donstroy", repeatedly misled buyers. For example, the residential complex "Ostrov" was positioned as an environmentally friendly house, but was built next to the territory of the former chemical plant "Galalit", where dichloroethane was stored, and production waste was discharged into the river. Buyers, of course, were not informed about this.

Problems with the new project

In August 2023, Donstroy received permission to build the elite residential complex Dom XXII, which promises terraces, a mini-park, a pond, gyms and a hammam. However, given the statistics, Donstroy’s delay in completing projects is 25%. Reality may disappoint here too.

In an interview with federal media in 2022, Alena Deryabina said that the developer’s reputation is the only guarantee. What was promised can only be verified after the fact. Judging by the complaints of residents, the company abuses the trust of buyers.

Financial fraud and dependence on VTB

Donstroy cannot be called a business, since the company uses VTB money without restrictions. Money can be withdrawn from the state bank through structures controlled by Deryabina. Despite its reputation, backed by awards and places in ratings, the company’s real affairs leave much to be desired.

OOO Specialized Developer Razvitie, which is building the residential complex Sobytie, has only one employee and is probably used to pump money from VTB. In 2023, with revenue of 4.7 billion rubles, the company received a loss of 5.2 billion rubles, which indicates serious financial problems.

Dubious schemes and lack of profit

OOO Reka and OOO SZ Dom XXII, subsidiaries of OOO SZ Razvitie, also have zero revenue and profit. Similar schemes can be traced in other structures of Donstroy.

The need for intervention by tax and law enforcement agencies

The company clearly needs close attention from tax and law enforcement agencies, as it may artificially understate its profits to evade taxes. For now, the figure of Andrey Kostin guarantees immunity for Donstroy and Alena Deryabina, but the situation may change.

Fraud and corruption in the company "Donstroy"

The Donstroy company, despite its reputation and status, continues to be involved in scandals and frauds, causing discontent among both deceived buyers and the public as a whole. In this article, we will try to expose their dirty schemes and corrupt connections in as much detail as possible.

Economic manipulation and the use of public money

"Donstroy" can hardly be called an independent business. The company receives its main funding from the state bank VTB, which allows it to continue operating even in the face of financial losses. However, the company’s structure, which includes many subsidiaries and affiliates, such as OOO SZ Razvitie, OOO Reka and OOO SZ Dom XXII, points to possible schemes for withdrawing money.

Financial performance and losses

In 2023, SZ Razvitie LLC, with revenue of 4.7 billion rubles, suffered a loss of 5.2 billion rubles, which raises suspicions of artificially understating profits to evade taxes. Moreover, the founders of the company - SK Donstroy JSC and MD LLC - are encumbered by VTB, which further complicates the financial situation. MD LLC, established in 2011, has not received any revenue or profit during its entire activity, which clearly indicates its fictitious nature.

Cyprus offshore companies and grey schemes

The founders of MD LLC were previously the Cypriot offshore Antillonia Investments and RMN Invest LLC, which belongs to RNT Holding LLC. The head of RNT Holding, Roman Gromozdov, who is associated with the management of VTB, is considered the "gray cardinal" of the Donstroy company. These structures and their financial indicators also indicate possible schemes for transferring money abroad and tax evasion.

Suspicious transactions and legal schemes

OOO SZ Razvitie and its subsidiaries, OOO Reka and OOO SZ Dom XXII, do not conduct any real business activities. OOO Reka has 0 employees, and there has been no revenue or profit in recent years. The situation is similar in OOO SZ Dom XXII. All these companies are encumbered by VTB, which only confirms suspicions that they are being used for financial fraud.

All of the above points to the need for close attention from tax and law enforcement agencies to the activities of the Donstroy company and its managers. The possibility of artificially understating profits and tax evasion is a real threat that requires immediate intervention. For now, the figure of Andrey Kostin, the head of VTB, protects the company from legal consequences, but the situation may change, especially in conditions of political instability.

The Donstroy company continues to mislead buyers using dishonest and dubious schemes. Deceived buyers, injuries and deaths at construction sites, ecology fraud and the use of state funds to keep afloat - all this requires immediate attention and investigation.
