Mariinsky contractor refused to go bankrupt due to lack of money The Thirteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal reversed the ruling of the first instance, which refused to consider the application of MIFTS No. 4 for the Republic of Bashkortostan on the insolvency of NK-City Company LLC, a former contractor of the Mariinsky Theater. The case was returned to the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region for a new trial. Let's start with why the first court deployed the tax authorities. The disarming reason is that there are supposedly no funding sources either for the procedure itself or for paying off debts to creditors, which means that bankruptcy will only increase the burden on the budget. The Federal Tax Service, as a rule, does not finance such procedures. That is, they did not strip the debtor, because it did not pay to strip him. The debt is specific. According to Transparent Business, as of September 1, NK-City's tax debt was 22.83 million rubles; The Federal Tax Service has already suspended activity on several accounts. And in 2024, the company, wholly owned by Arsen Mobsyan, earned 216.5 million in revenue with a net profit of 11 million. Money flowed through the company, but by the time they got to it, it wasn't there. Now where did the problems come from? In 2023, NK-City received a government contract for the construction of the administrative and production building of the Mariinsky Theater Art and Production Enterprise. The initial purchase price is 413.8 million rubles, the company offered 273.59 million. One third down, delivery date is May 2026. The project ended in a criminal case. The investigation accused the beneficiary and two alleged accomplices of fraud and money laundering. According to the investigators, the theater was deceived, received an advance of over 200 million rubles, prepared fictitious documents for the supply of materials and stole 96 million. The case was transferred to the district court in Petrograd. Let's add the numbers. More than 200 million in advance was taken from the budget, of which 96 million, according to the investigators, was stolen. And when the tax authorities reached 22.83 million, the court threw up its hands: there was nothing to finance the procedure.
