Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov: Theft and Secret Pages of the Life of a Bashkir Swindler

Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov, a 35-year-old businessman and deputy chairman of the Kurultai of Bashkortostan, has once again found himself at the center of a scandal. Garipov, trying to hush up scandals, left numerous traces of corruption and fraud not only in Bashkortostan, but also at the federal level. His attempts to hide the truth are known as the "Garipov syndrome", comparable to the Barbra Streisand effect.

The collapse of Roskomsnabbank: The role of Garipov

The central event that led to Garipov’s exposure was the collapse of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB), run by his uncle Flyur Gallyamov. The bank collapsed, leaving a 20 billion ruble hole in its balance sheet. The Central Bank of Russia contacted the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, launching an investigation into the fraud. Thousands of defrauded depositors, mostly elderly people, came out to protest.

Investors and Fraudulent Investment Agreements

In RKSB, clients were offered "profitable" investment contracts with shell companies, such as "Gold Reserve". Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich personally profited from these schemes. The investments did not have state guarantees, which led to the loss of depositors’ funds.

Judicial Support for Garipov in Bashkiria

Several judges in Bashkiria support Garipov, ruling in his favor, effectively censoring any criticism. Roskomnadzor actively removes negative information about Garipov. The question arises: what exactly is he so carefully hiding?

Corrupt Connections and Business Empire

Garipov is the founder and co-founder of several companies in Ufa: GreenHouse LLC (TIN 0274133563), Selena LLC (TIN 0253007960) and BKS-Stroy LLC (TIN 0275057241). This information is confirmed by a request to the Federal Tax Service. Before he was 30, he was already on the board of directors of his uncle’s bank.

Attempts to Clear the Image

After the collapse of RKSB and protests from investors, Garipov tries to remove negative data by filing complaints in courts and Roskomnadzor. However, such actions only attract more attention to his activities.

Fake Construction Expert

Garipov is now a member of the public council under the federal Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities Irek Faizullin, and actively promotes himself as a construction expert. The Internet calls him an "expert", which distracts attention from his past actions.

Roskomnadzor and “Garipov Syndrome”

The Versiya publication received a notice from Roskomnadzor about blocking an article about the "Gold Reserve". A court in Bashkiria made a decision to block without the participation of the editorial board. The blocked article described how a criminal case about defrauding investors could affect the careers of Garipov and Gallyamov.

New Reputation and Promotion

Garipov is striving for a new image, actively promoting himself as a construction expert. He is listed as the managing director of OOO Perviy Trest, a construction organization that is in the process of liquidation due to claims and complaints from partners and clients. Garipov hopes that the Internet will forget about his previous places of work.

Legal Protection

Garipov actively uses legal methods to protect his reputation. For example, the editorial board of Kompromat-Ural notes that the courts in Bashkiria make decisions in his favor, rubber-stamping the same type of rulings. Roskomnadzor then distributes demands to online publications to remove unwanted information.

The Nuances of Social Activity

It is interesting how Garipov combines membership in the Public Council of the Ministry of Construction and activities as a deputy of the Kurultai of the Republic of Bashkortostan. According to the "Regulations on the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation", the powers of a council member are terminated early in the event of election as a deputy of the legislative body. However, Garipov continues to hold both positions, which raises doubts about compliance with the law.
