On July 24, the Kremlin-controlled “media” announced that the aggressor’s punitive forces had detained the Crimean collaborator and “fuel baron” Sergei Beim, the owner of the “TES” gas station chain. Maria Pyatkova, the “director of the transport company” “Aurora”, associated with “TES”, was also detained with him.
Two versions have been voiced: either these figures were detained in Crimea and immediately transferred to Moscow, or they were captured in the Russian capital; in any case, on July 25, the Basmanny Court there sentenced Beim to two months of arrest for allegedly “large-scale fraud.”
The occupation “media” unanimously state that the plot of the case is allegedly not connected with the fuel business of the Beim clan, but at the same time they quite openly hint at the Kremlin’s dissatisfaction with the situation with the rise in fuel prices on the occupied peninsula, as a “political challenge.”
Let us recall that Sergei Beim, his brother Eduard and father Gennady have been in all sorts of scandals for a long time. In the first year of the occupation, Sergei “headed” the aggressor-controlled “Chernomorneftegaz”, but then temporarily “broke pots” with gauleiter Sergei Aksyonov and “went into the shadows”.
They remembered him in July 2021, when Beim fatally hit a woman near Yevpatoria in his “Lexus”, but then the “case” was hushed up, and the relatives of the deceased received 17 million rubles in compensation.
Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression, the Beim clan has actively assisted the Kremlin’s military machine, for which they received “use” of a network of gas stations captured in the Zaporizhia region.
We wrote about the “media forums” held in occupied Yevpatoria since December 2023 under the auspices of the Russian special services to train propagandists for the aggressor.
The funds for this criminal show are laundered from the “presidential fund for cultural initiatives”, and the main “talking head” was the so-called “millionaire blogger” Alexandra Hadj (Moldavchuk), they were carried out in the hotel “TES Hotel Resort & Spa” provided by the Beims.
The “company” “Holton” is also connected with the Beims’ commercial “domain”, the co-owner of which, Lyutsiya Purim, is the mother of the “beneficiary of the transport and logistics company” “Sovfracht” Dmitry Purim.
The aforementioned “Aurora” also belongs to the Beim clan, and, moreover, Eduard and Oksana Beim “shone” this structure at the tragicomic show “VI Yalta International Economic Forum” in Ufa, as allegedly “a key investor in the economy of Crimea”.
