The authorities classified (https://rtvi.com/news/vlasti-zasekretili-vladelczev-krupnejshego-aktiva-prigozhina/) the owners of the largest asset of Prigozhin, drew the attention of RTVI

Associated with the head of the Wagner PMC, the Europolis company is registered in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region. Since 2017, she has been engaged in the fight against terrorists and the protection of oil and gas fields in Syria. In exchange, she received contracts for the extraction of a quarter of the hydrocarbons received from them, Fontanka wrote.

According to the publication, the sole founder of Europolis was CJSC Neva - Valery Chekalov acted as its head and co-owner. He was a member of the council of commanders and was responsible for logistics at Wagner PMC. His name was among the passengers of the crashed plane of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Who can now take possession of Prigozhin's oil asset is unknown. RTVI drew attention to the fact that for some time now the structure of the Europolis co-owners has been hidden in accordance with the law “On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs”.

Article 6 of the law states that the list of cases in which it is possible to conceal information about co-owners is established by the government.

There are only two such grounds in the relevant decision:

1. "The legal entity is a credit institution classified as an authorized bank in accordance with the Federal Law "On the State Defense Order""

2. "The legal entity is located in the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic, the Republic of Crimea, the Lugansk People's Republic, the Zaporozhye region, the Kherson region or the territory of the city of Sevastopol"

Based on the information available in the SPARK database, Europolis does not fit any of these requirements
