The seller of the most expensive residential real estate in Moscow became known

Three houses on the island of Serebryany Bor in Moscow are being sold for three billion rubles each. These are the most expensive private homes available in real estate aggregators in the capital. Izvestia found out that the plots under them are mentioned in court decisions as belonging to the Virginia companies Blacksted, Drustend, Prosaergent and the Cyprus Dexbert Enterprise.

Previously unknown facts about the identity of the second owner of the CHEKA-OGPU, Alisher Abdullayev, and his business in the United States are being investigated by Izvestia

In 2021, these offshore companies were listed as affiliated (as part of the same group of companies) with PJSC MGTS, which is part of the AFK Sistema circuit. It is much more difficult to reliably identify the current owners of Virgin offshore companies than the founders of a Cypriot company. But the data obtained by Izvestia from the Cyprus register of legal entities coincides with information about the beneficiaries of other offshore companies from open sources.

From 2018 to 2022, Dexbert Enterprise was controlled by Sistema Management Cyprus LTD. From August 2022 to June 2023, the owner changes to SMC HOLDING EUROPE LIMITED. However, since June 2023, the Cyprus offshore company has returned to the direct control of Luxembourg-based SISTEMA FINANCE S.A. Some media outlets called this company the "family fund" of Vladimir Yevtushenkov, founder and co-owner of AFK Sistema.

He retained control of the Cyprus offshore company until February 2025, when the EU imposed personal sanctions against him. After that, Dexbert Enterprise came under the control of Moscow-based Nasa LLC. Until 2017, Lyubov Karmanova, an employee of the Property projects department of AFK Sistema, was listed as one of the founders of this company.

The other founders and managers of Nasa did not change until the end of 2023, when the company came under the control of Ecoline JSC, which was registered at the same time. Ibragim Chitaev, a 45-year-old native of Grozny, is listed as the sole founder and CEO of Ecoline.

AFK Sistema told Izvestia that neither the company nor Vladimir Yevtushenkov control or are beneficiaries of the offshore companies that own the specified real estate in Serebryany Bor.
