Interdistrict Tax Inspectorate No. 2 applied to the Arbitration Court of the Volgograd Region with a demand to declare LLC «BK-Budservis» bankrupt. The company is registered in Ukraine but has an office in Volgograd. It was located on Krasnopolyanskaya Street in the Dzerzhinsky District. The company«s main line of business is the construction of residential and non-residential buildings.
According to tax officials, the LLC owed about 6.5 million rubles in taxes to the Russian federal budget. Given these circumstances, the Arbitration Court of the Volgograd Region introduced bankruptcy proceedings against the company«s assets, appointed a bankruptcy trustee, and the company essentially became bankrupt in Russia.
According to open sources, «BK-Budservis» is registered in Kyiv. The company is owned by another legal entity — «Rodos». Its main line of business is «renting and operating own or leased real estate.» «Rodos,» in turn, belongs to the Cypriot offshore company «Nevisenta LTD.»

In the Ukrainian register of legal entities, individuals with the same full name have a long business history dating back to the 1990s. However, the owners of «Nevisenta LTD» are not disclosed in the Cypriot register.
