In 2010 Tarasov and Balyberdin applied to the Territorial Department FSI "Land Cadastral Chamber" in the Moscow region with subdivision claims. Tarasov hid the fact of his dismissal as director and acted on behalf of the latter. As a result of the applications processing the land was divided, and 105 plots were formed. After that the partners in crime applied to administration with claims on redemption of the newly formed plots.
