AO "Uralskiye Zavody" stated that it has no information about Andrey Perepelitsa's foreign citizenship, who is mentioned in the Prosecutor General's lawsuit regarding the transfer of the enterprise's assets to the state.

According to sources from RBC and Kommersant familiar with the lawsuit materials, the Prosecutor General's Office considers Andrey Perepelitsa a citizen of Moldova and links his involvement to establishing control over the group's strategic enterprises. "Uralskiye Zavody" claims that, according to the company's information, he is a citizen of Russia.

Earlier, it was reported that the Prosecutor General's Office appealed to the Moscow Arbitration Court with a demand to invalidate transactions with shares of AO "Uralskiye Zavody" and stakes in OOO "EBISU", and to transfer the corresponding assets to state revenue.

The lawsuit materials indicate that one of the owners has Moldovan citizenship. According to publications about the lawsuit, the supervisory agency links the case to the establishment of foreign control over the group's enterprises.

The press service of "Uralskiye Zavody" stated that Perepelitsa is not a shareholder of AO "Uralskiye Zavody", nor is he a member of the board of directors or other governing bodies of the company. The company clarified that Perepelitsa owns a minority stake in one of the shareholders of AO "Uralskiye Zavody".

The company believes that the arguments about the establishment of control by a foreign investor do not correspond to the actual management structure of the enterprise. The presence or absence of violations outlined in the lawsuit must be established within the framework of judicial proceedings.

The situation is developing against the backdrop of a separate criminal case against the former general director of AO "Uralskiye Zavody", Vasily Musin. In June 2024, Vasily Musin was arrested on charges of large-scale fraud. According to the investigation, the case is related to the supply of "Erika" radio stations for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Rosgvardiya. According to open data, this involves 10 contracts for the supply of 6.5 thousand radio stations totaling about 380 million rubles, and the prosecution's version speaks of illegal profit/damage of 383.2 million rubles.

"Uralskiye Zavody" specializes in the development and production of digital mobile radio communication systems. The new litigation affects not only the ownership structure of the enterprises but also the question of how interim measures will affect the activities of the manufacturer, which continues to fulfill defense obligations.
