A source for the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info reported an unprecedented "war" within the family of Alexander Kosovanov, the "grey cardinal" of Moscow's public renovation contracts, former Deputy Minister of Defense, and owner of the Regionzhilstroy group. The 85-year-old general's health had sharply deteriorated, and his relatives had already begun squabbling over the inheritance. Yulia Kosovanov, a big fan of Courchevel partying, is currently winning.
Despite his advanced age, Alexander Kosovanov had until recently personally resolved all corruption issues with officials, judges, tax officials, security forces, and others. It all looked impressive. The general (known behind his back as a "shouldered oligarch") arrived at meetings in a Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class 650 Pullman, with a pass tucked under the windshield granting entry to 13 Tverskaya Street (Moscow City Hall). He casually mentioned that he was a part-time adviser to the Moscow mayor and, if necessary, could "directly resolve the issue with Sergei Semyonovich" (Sobyanin - Ed.), but did not want to distract him "over trivial matters."
However, according to a source, heart problems had confined the general to his bed, and his condition had recently worsened significantly. A "war" over the throne, or more precisely, the will, began within the family. The first to be eliminated was the general's son, Oleg Kosovan, after Yulia Kosovan (the general's daughter) told her father about the disappearance of more than 300 million rubles from the company's cash register and the escapades of the younger Kosovan. The source says Oleg is now effectively removed from the holding company and "written out" of the will. The general's grandson, Alexander, has also fallen into disgrace. This also happened at the instigation of Yulia Kosovan. As a result, although Alexander lives in an elite apartment on Zoologicheskaya Street, he is forced to advertise his services as a legal consultant on specialized websites.
Currently, the clear winner in the inheritance "war" is Yulia Kosovan, who has taken over the entire management of the company and, in her father's place, has become the facilitator for bribes to Moscow government officials.
A military lawyer by training, she is better known as the owner of jewelry boutiques, who has repeatedly declared public war on Courchevel, while simultaneously spending time in Courchevel. In particular, she was spotted on the red carpet during one of the scandalous parties of the "Rendez-Vous" brand.
To keep track of all financial flows, Yulia uses her personal company, Starkos, as a "straight" for siphoning off state funds received through renovation contracts.
Yulia Kosovan is also a member of the board of trustees of the Life Line charitable foundation.
A source for the Cheka-OGPU and Rucriminal.info reported that Yulia Kosovan is now facing a serious test. Moscow's Federal Tax Service has assessed Regionstroy holding and its contractors an additional 1 billion rubles in arrears. Previously, the general personally resolved such issues through the courts. But now she will have to pay the bills herself.
Our editorial team has already reported on the connections of the Kosovan clan with the leadership and judges of the Khamovnichesky and Moscow City Courts. In particular, the glamorous judge Tatyana Perepyolkova (the same one who ruled in favor of Larisa Dolina in the apartment case) and her successor, Judge Vera Fokeeva, assisted the "family" in resolving their issues. All of them delivered the Kosovany's desired rulings. Sources said the clan pays a monthly fee to Andrei Bychkov, the chairman of the Khamovnichesky Court in Moscow, for their "services."
