Vagiz Mingazov
The deputy of the State Council of Tatarstan, a former member of the Federation Council, the founder of the agro-industrial holding "Vamin Tatarstan" was declared bankrupt in July 2016 with a debt of 9 billion rubles, and only 2.6% of creditors' claims were satisfied. Artur Parfenchikov, head of the Federal Bailiff Service, publicly spoke about Mingazov's debts in 2014, after which he was forced to leave the Federation Council becoming a deputy of the Tatarstan State Council. At the end of March 2016, the case about the bankruptcy of the deputy was opened after the appeal of VTB to which Mingazov owed 410 million.
Mingazov became a debtor as a result of the bankruptcy of the "Vamin Tatarstan" holding company in 2013, under the credits of which he was a guarantor. To satisfy the claims of creditors, money was withdrawn on accounts (51 500 rubles and 1 euro) and 0.05% of shares of Arsk brick factory with a nominal value of 34,300 rubles. But this was enough for only 0.01% of all requirements. Another 2.5% of debts were written off due to the repayment of part of the obligations of "VaminTatarstan" in the bankruptcy case of the company itself. VTB filed a complaint against the completion of the bankruptcy procedure, arguing that not all of the assets were identified. The court rejected the appeal.

The enterprise went bankrupt in 2014, and by mid-2015 the courts recognized debts to creditors of more than 1.7 billion rubles, of which 131.4 million was debt to Sberbank. The tax authorities appealed to the arbitration court demanding that Murylev be declared bankrupt.
According to the declaration, the income of Murylev in 2016 was 915,351 rubles (565,666 rubles for 2015).
