The Wall Street Journal notes that trucks with sheet-rolling products often leave the territory of the plant, bound for the Russian Federation.
The Kremlin regime of the Russian Federation enriched the friendly Ramzan Kadyrov, allowing him to loot the Mariupol Metallurgical Plant named after Ilyich, which once belonged to Rinat Akhmetov. It was reported by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal.
I’m MMK. Ilyich was taken under the control of people close to Ramzan Kadyrov, in particular, Ruslan Geremeev and the deputy head of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Community Services of Chechnya, Vakhit Geremeev. Both are relatives of Senator Suleiman Geremeev, an ally of Kadyrov. Half of the shares of MMK Ilyich LLC, which now controls the plant, was received by his son Valid.
The media wrote that trucks with sheet metal products often leave the territory of the plant, heading for Russia. The invaders dismantled and shipped to Russia a $220 million production line that had been installed shortly before the great war.
In September 2022, a Moscow trading company exported $380,000 worth of steel products from the plant, then regularly sold coal and other products to the plant. In January 2023, a batch of hardware worth $50 thousand was exported to Uzbekistan.
After some time, the part of Valid Korchagin passed to another person, but also related to Ramzan Kadyrov – the head of the Moscow fight club, Akhmat Alash Dadashov.
Alash Dadashov, through his other Mariupol company, Technical Materials, which he owns together with a local resident, former deputy head of Azovstal’s oxygen shop Stanislav Komarovsky, ships industrial gases in Russia from the plant.
We remind you that during the capture of Mariupol in 2022, the Russians used deliberate starvation tactics. Lawyers considered the strategy of depriving the city’s residents of food during the siege tantamount to a war crime.
