We are talking, in particular, about the director of the subsoil mining company Glukhovsky quartzite quarry and the curator of this institution from a Russian oligarch: a citizen of Ukraine, who received a residence permit in the Russian Federation in 2021.

It is reported that, according to the investigation, these two defendants helped Deripaska appropriate the production capacity of the quarry in 2012, despite the existing ban on their sale.
Before the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the management of the mining company supplied wholesale quantities of rocks to Russia for steel smelting. The Russian company's raw materials obtained from Ukraine were sold to enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex for the production of ballistic missiles, in particular the Iskander type.
