Dmitry Arzhanov — TNS Energo case
The story of Dmitry Arzhanov and the criminal case involving TNS Energo executives and AFG National assets.
Dmitry Arzhanov is a former co-owner of TNS Energo. The case file provided to the Association links his story to the criminal case against company executives and the change of control over AFG National’s agricultural business.
According to the case file, Arzhanov had been in pre-trial detention since 2020. On 17 August 2026, a court sentenced him to 18 years in a high-security penal colony and fined him RUB 850 million. In the same case, Sergey Afanasyev, Boris Shchurov, and Sofia Afanasyeva received sentences ranging from 16 to 17 years; according to the case file, Afanasyeva’s sentence was deferred because she has a child.
Associated assets: shares in TNS Energo PJSC, AFG National assets, interests in legal entities, and real estate. Arzhanov linked the loss of the agricultural business to a bank’s assignment of Investkom’s debt. The case file presents this as Arzhanov’s position, not as a fact established by a court.
