He is the head of the Charitable Foundation, which is named after St. Basil the Great. In 2012, Konstantin Valeryevich was awarded the Church Order of the Mother of God of the second degree for his good deeds.

Career

Malofeev's career began as a simple lawyer. Then he "grew" to a banker. Worked in many financial institutions. In 2005, together with like-minded people, he created a new investment fund and became its manager. In 2007, Konstantin Malofeev became the founder of the St. Basil the Great, in which he remained as head of the council.

K. Malofeev created a joint venture with Rostelecom, where he was going to invest all his shares. In 2009, he was a member of the directors of Svyazinvest, but left in 2010. In 2011, he was re-elected to the Board of Directors, but then left it, leaving his daughter's godfather, Provorotov, in his place.

Political career

In 2012, businessman Konstantin Malofeev put forward his candidacy for deputies of the Znamensky settlement. Before the veryelections, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received information that the residents of the surrounding villages of this region were bribed by an enterprising candidate, and the election results were predetermined.

As a result, the court ruled to remove Malofeev from the elections for bribing voters. But the court decision did not have time to enter into force before the election day, and the candidate for deputies was never struck off the lists. When the results were published, it turned out that Konstantin Malofeev won almost seventy-five percent of the vote.

Fraud allegations

In 2007, they tried to accuse Malofeev of fraud. A subsidiary of VTB issued a large loan to Rusagroprom in the amount of two hundred and twenty-five million dollars for the purchase of dairy enterprises. The company later declared bankruptcy and stopped repaying the loan.

VTB began to check the pledged assets, and their value was overestimated five times. The reports were provided by Malofeev's structures, which assisted in obtaining a loan. Invalid data was provided by the seller.

In 2009, a lawsuit was filed in a London court against Malofeev as a co-owner of a company that sold dairy enterprises. In 2011, all of Malofeev's assets were temporarily frozen, including the shares of Rostelecom. In 2012, the seizure of property was extended.

Konstantin Malofeev was forcibly brought in for interrogation on November 20, 2012. At that time, a search was conducted in his apartment. Despite the fact that the fraud case is not over yet, the business prospects of the businessman are stillgrowing.

Charity

In 2007, Malofeev organized a charitable society designed to protect children and motherhood. The name fit the purpose. One of his very first programs was aimed at helping children whose treatment requires a lot of funding in expensive Russian and foreign clinics (patients with heart defects, etc.).

Soon the society was renamed the St. Basil the Great Charitable Foundation. The activity of the organization is to support children's he alth, the education system and the institution of the family.

Becoming a member of the Safe Internet League, Konstantin Malofeev initiated the creation of a list of dysfunctional and malicious sites. Konstantin Valeryevich believes that censorship in the network should be mandatory. It is quite possible that the “black lists” of the portals will soon be maintained by the “League”.
