The Arbitration Court of the Novosibirsk Region has received a lawsuit targeting MP Alexey Dzhulay, asking for a declaration of bankruptcy. The claim was filed by Ecology-Novosibirsk, the former regional operator responsible for municipal solid waste management. This development was reported by Sib.fm as part of ongoing coverage of local governance and public utilities.
The filing amount cited in the suit stands at 50 thousand rubles. At the moment, there are no additional specifics publicly disclosed about the case, leaving observers awaiting further procedural details and official filings.
Earlier in the timeline, the Arbitration Court adjudged Ecology-Novosibirsk bankrupt. In February 2023, the company lost its status as the regional operator for solid waste management after failing to supply a bank guarantee to the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and for breaching the established waste flow scheme. This sequence of events reflected heightened scrutiny of waste-management operators and their compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements in the region.
Alexey Dzhulay is identified as the director of the Discus Group of Companies. A criminal case has been opened against him concerning alleged misappropriation of funds from shareholders in the Plyushchikhinsky microdistrict. As part of the legal proceedings, a preventive measure restricting certain actions was issued, signifying the seriousness of the charges and the ongoing investigation.
In October, the Moscow Arbitration Court moved to initiate bankruptcy proceedings involving Google LLC’s Russian subsidiary, marking another notable case in which a major international technology company faced insolvency-related processes within the Russian judicial system. The decision underscored the evolving regulatory and financial landscape affecting large corporate entities operating in the region.
These developments illustrate broader themes in corporate governance, financial responsibility, and regulatory compliance that periodically surface in Russian civic and business life. Observers note that while isolated cases of bankruptcy or fraud can have local consequences, they also reflect how firms of different sizes navigate legal obligations, stakeholder expectations, and governmental oversight in an increasingly scrutinized environment. As the situation evolves, stakeholders will be watching for official document releases, court rulings, and any subsequent actions that could influence corporate behavior and public confidence in municipal waste management and corporate governance.
