To: Moscow Administration Mr. Sergey Sobyanin, Acting Moscow Mayor Investigating Authorities of the Russian Ministry of the Interior July 29, 2013 Tel-Aviv Dear Mr. Sobyanin, The Investigation Department is investigating penal case no. 28163 concerning the misappropriation of 2.2 billion rubles by Sergey Polonsky. I, Sergey Polonsky, hereby declare that I am neither hiding from the authorities nor attempting to avoid the investigation. Although I am required to stay in Israel for a certain period of time, it does not prevent my cooperation with the Russian investigating authorities both by appearing at the Russian Embassy in Israel and by any other interactive methods based on internet and telephony. I believe that the illegal seizure of funds in the “Kutuzov Mile” project as well as misappropriation of my company’s assets should be thoroughly investigated. Therefore, the details cannot be discussed in public since this may harm the investigation and the litigation. However, I am prepared to give trustworthy and exhaustive testimony that will shed light on the true state of affairs. I think that it is necessary to re-classify the case from “fraud” to “theft” committed by a criminal group and aimed at misappropriation of assets from my company. I believe that it is necessary to investigate whether a crime was committed by a group that was directly managing Potok company, namely R. Totsenko, A. Dobrovinsky, M. Temnikov and V. Golubev. I request that the investigating authorities pay special attention to those who are now the beneficiaries, including their reasons and motives. Considering that the Moscow Government extended the terms of construction of “Kutuzov Mile” in which I am accused of misappropriation of funds, I may conclude that there are still enough funds to complete the project and everyone will receive the apartments. Therefore, the only victims are I and those investors who waited too long for their properties. I would like to emphasize that all projects initiated by me were successfully completed, including such Moscow projects as Mirax Park and the 111 Lenin Avenue project (where 180 investors were defrauded by the previous owners). The project was successfully completed despite the deep economic crisis. Half a year ago we completed the Dubrovka residential project: all buyers received their apartments and have no claims to the contractors. Moreover, I declared more than once that I am prepared to complete all my unfinished projects, provided they will be returned under my control. I would like to apologize for being unable to promptly respond to the fact that I was declared wanted by the Investigation Committee of the Russian Ministry of the Interior on July 3, 2013. Unfortunately, I learned about the investigation of misappropriation of funds in “Kutuzov Mile” in a Cambodia prison. However, as well as all defrauded investors, I was happy to learn about the investigation since during the last 3 years all my attempts to initiate the investigation of the illegal seizure of the project and misappropriation of its assets failed. Even such extreme measures as the one week hunger strike did not bring the desired results. I would like to express my sincere empathy to those who were defrauded. Despite all attempts to prevent the completion of construction, I always did my utmost to finish it believing that this project could become something Moscow could be proud of. I promise to do anything in my power so that the victims will finally get their apartments. However, it is important to emphasize that I am also one of the victims, since on the grounds of the previous contract approved by Moscow City Hall, the contractor MCM-5 that promised to complete the “Fort Kutuzov” project acknowledged that it was 51% completed. As a result, both the investors and the company lost 15 thousand meters. In such a situation, I find it strange that Mr. Sobyanin, who has been holding the post of Moscow Mayor for the last three years, never held a meeting concerning “Kutuzov Mile”. As a result of his omissions, my company lost 15,000 meters and I was accused of fraud. In the near future, using fabricated evidence, your authority plans to issue an international arrest warrant for me, which is only a part of a plan developed by A. Dobrovinsky, my former attorney, who abused the fact that I was imprisoned in Cambodia and the Power of Attorney issued by me, and together with R. Trotsenko illegally took control and continues to manage the Potok company (formerly Mirax Group). As a resident of Moscow who managed an international company in nine countries worldwide before Mr. Sobyanin was appointed to his position, as one who built one of the best projects in Moscow and in Russia, and who never took a single ruble from the national budget but rather paid 45 billion rubles as direct and indirect taxes, I believe that the only correct step is the immediate investigation of all aspects of the “Kutuzov Mile” case including actual elimination of the company that was building the iconic Russian tower – the Federation Tower – by the Moscow Government. In the light of the aforesaid, I am requesting to know the official position of the Investigation Committee concerning the restraint that will be used against me, the accused Sergey Polonsky, during the preliminary investigation. This letter may contain inaccuracies or mistakes that may occur despite our information checks, due to non-coordinated fraudulent acts of the above named persons. I am therefore requesting all relevant authorities to specify such mistakes within 10 days according to the law; otherwise, by Roman law this document will come into power and will remain valid unless rebutted in court. Thank you in advance for your response, Sergey Polonsky 29.07.2013 04:52 Moscow time
