Vladimir Yaprintsev, who always willingly communicates with media representatives, was recently included in the twenty most influential and successful entrepreneurs in the country. And once his person attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies. The arrest of Vladimir Yaprintsev became a real sensation, although many did not know the degree of reliability of this information. So why did he become objectionable to the authorities? The answer to this question remains open. Vladimir Yaprintsev went through a peculiar path from an athlete to an entrepreneur. What was interesting in his life?

Biography Facts

Vladimir Yaprintsev, whose biography certainly deserves separate consideration, is a native of the city of Ashgabat, he was born in 1961.

He was brought up in an incomplete family, his father abandoned the family, and his mother was forced to take care of her son alone. To support herself, she worked several jobs. In his youth, the boy often watched conflicts between Russians andTurkmens that took place in his hometown.

Sambist

As a teenager, Yaprintsev became interested in martial arts - sambo - and his mentor, who was originally from Belarus, eventually brought him to Minsk. Here Vladimir wanted to enter the Institute of Physical Education. However, the young man did not pass the entrance exam in chemistry. He presumptuously counted on the fact that the members of the commission would be supportive of the guy who goes in for such a popular sport as sambo. However, the young man miscalculated in his expectations. For him, it was a real stress. But fortune was still favorable to him, and the deuce was corrected for a three.

Subsequently, he will be awarded the title of Honored Master of Sports in SAMBO, Vladimir Yaprintsev will repeatedly take first places in world and European champions in this sport.

First steps in business

During the period of achieving success in a sports career, the future oligarch begins to take the first steps in business. He traded in matches, and light bulbs, and carpets, and even wine. Once, as a security guard, he accompanied a batch of Amaretto liqueur, and this work brought good dividends to the athlete. Vladimir Yaprintsev, whose photo adorned the front pages of newspapers when rumors spread about his arrest, first saw his employer and partner Yuri Chizh on the football field. Contact was immediately established between them. In addition, Yaprintsev and Chizh had something to talk about: Yuri at one time showed great promise in Greco-Roman wrestling. The potential employer knewthat Vladimir is a reliable guard, and suggested that he accompany the goods from the Belarusian capital to Moscow. Yaprintsev agreed to cooperate with Chizh and eventually rose to the head of the security service of the notorious Triple company, of which Chizh was the head. A few years later, he got even closer to his boss, with whom he began to do business together: he was even called the co-owner of Triple.

Businessman "things went uphill"

Yaprintsev's financial well-being has strengthened to such an extent that he began to build a country house for himself in a prestigious area of Belarus.

The entrepreneur pre-arranged a bank loan in the amount of 230 thousand dollars, and then, at his request, the credit institution allocated another 40 thousand dollars so that the project - a two-story cottage with an area of 450 "squares" - was finally implemented. The borrower had to return the funds before October of this year. However, in the summer there was information that the Belarusian KGB arrested Vladimir Yaprintsev. Indeed, the corresponding decision was issued by the law enforcement agency in August 2015.

Reasons for persecution

Since there is no official version of why businessman Yaprintsev is interested in law enforcement structures, experts are trying to put forward versions of what happened on their own.

Journalist Pavel Sheremet suggested that one of the reasons for the detention of the Belarusian oligarch could be his business activities in Russia, since the businessmanLately he has been in Moscow more than in Minsk. In addition, he has many friends in the North Caucasus.

It is known that on August 13 this year he was taken under escort at the Belarusian airport immediately after arriving from the Russian capital. Moreover, the media became aware of this only a few days after the arrest. Neither the wife of Vladimir Yaprintsev, nor his relatives, nor his friends gave any comments on this matter. It is noteworthy that the entrepreneur's country residence in the prestigious village of Drozdy, for the construction of which he took a loan, was sealed in the middle of summer. At the same time, the business reputation of his partner, Yury Chyzh, did not suffer from the fact that the Belarusian businessman was taken into custody, although he could influence Lukashenka to ease his disgrace against the businessman.

Marital status

So, no one knows exactly what Vladimir Yaprintsev is involved in.

The entrepreneur's family is his wife, son and two daughters. Remarkable is the fact that the offspring of the oligarch suffered the same fate as his father. He was arrested a week earlier. Rumor has it that Yaprintsev's son, Kazbek, has taken out loans for an astronomical amount, which can be a heavy burden for Triple. It should be noted that the offspring of the oligarch is also engaged in business, his profile is the promotion of Internet resources. He is the owner of a tourism, sports, reference portal.

One of the businessman's daughters graduated from the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Minsk University. ATshe currently lives in the Austrian capital.

Conclusion

Belarusian political analysts do not rule out that the arrest of Yaprintsev is the work of Alexander Lukashenko, who does not want to give full freedom of action to entrepreneurs. At the same time, the arrest of the Belarusian oligarch does not mean at all that the system of coordinates will be changed in the political course.

The head of the Belarusian state in the past put the owner of Uralkali Vladislav Baumgertner behind bars, which did not spoil relations with the Kremlin.

There may be a "Ukrainian" trace in this case. The thing is that the investment banking structure Jaspen Capital Partners has serious claims of a material nature against the Triple diversified holding, which has not fulfilled its obligations under the contract. The case may end in litigation, although Kazbek Yaprintsev has previously stated his readiness to resolve the conflict peacefully.

The relatives and friends of Vladimir Yaprintsev, in turn, are making every effort to remove the prisoner from disgrace.
