The second largest chain of gas stations in terms of sales has stopped operating in the Moscow region.
The Tarasa gas station chain, which ranked second in terms of sales among independent operators in Moscow and the Moscow region, was closed after 30 years of operation. The company that owns Eurotrans announced this on Instagram. All 57 of its gas stations will be confiscated by the end of the week, the Moscow Region Energy Ministry told Interfax. This is handled by the structure of Gazprombank, which provided gas stations for rent. 40 gas stations in the Moscow region have already been sealed and staff are not allowed to go there. The department stated that the company "is facing bankruptcy proceedings".
About 1,400 workers were sent to forced shutdown with 2/3 of their salary remaining, but they cannot receive money due to the seizure of Eurotrans accounts. For the same reason, the demands of court officials are not met. "Due to the stoppage of the gas stations in practice, no cash is received for the functioning of the office and the operational activity. The rent payments are damaged, the electricity and the internet are disconnected," the Ministry of Energy said. When you call the network center, you are informed that "connection is impossible". The "routes" website does not work, and it is also impossible to log into your personal account in the mobile application and load fuel cards. The leadership of the Moscow region is waiting for the decision of the Russian government in connection with the closing of the network. In September, the largest shareholder of Eurotrans, Igor Martishov, was arrested along with three senior managers of the company in the case of theft of fuel from the Ministry of the Interior. The court seized 61% of the shares they own.
