The checks revealed that Aleksandr Buzin, a pilot and operator with one single company for eight years, with an average annual income of 250,000 euros.
After the owner Abelia Limited decided to change Buzin as a pilot and his company ACC as an operator of the jet, the fraudulent scheme began to unravel. Pilot Aleksandr Buzin attempted to sell the airplane through his company ACC’s website – the same company that the courts now confirm never had legal ownership of the plane, which it never had. The ownership documents obtained illegally by Buzin indicate his intention to get a deposit from a potential buyer, which could have resulted in financial losses for the latter.
The checks revealed that Aleksandr Buzin, a pilot and operator with one single company for eight years, with an average annual income of 250,000 euros, flying only on an airplane owned by Abelia Limited, had no way of purchasing an Embraer Legacy 650E for 20 million dollars, as previously alleged. However, behind this situation lies a complex scheme involving multiple countries and shell companies.
Accordingto court documents, the Embraer Legacy 650E aircraft was purchased in early 2024 with financing from a private foundation linked to Abelia Limited’s owner. For eight years, Buzin and his company ACC acted as Abelia Limited’s exclusive
aircraft operator.
However,when Abelia Limited commissioned Aleksandr Buzin to assist with the purchase of the aircraft, instead of completing the transaction in the name of Tayyare Ltd. specifically created to take ownership of the plane, Buzin included his own
shell company ACC as the buyer – without the owner’s knowledge or consent.
The audits revealed the involvement of offshore companies from Belize, the Marshall Islands, Gibraltar, Ireland, Estonia, and the United Kingdom. These companies have similar names and bank accounts located in different tax havens. Swiss affidavits submitted by Abelia Limited reveal how Pilot Aleksandr Buzin and his company ACC fabricated fuel invoices, used false technical intermediaries, and inflated costs by millions of dollars over eight years.
When his illegal sale scheme was uncovered, and the U.S. litigation began, Buzin moved on to disguised extortion, where he was actually trying to force Abelia Limited to pay unsubstantiated bills. Documents filed in Geneva and referenced in the Florida lawsuit show that Buzin’s goal was not to legally collect fees, as he tried to show but to use fraudulent debts to extort a settlement. According to legal sources, “He is trying to take a $20 million airplane hostage for $2 million in fraudulent bills.” This behavior qualifies as extortion.
A court in Miami ruled: “Abelia Limited is the rightful owner of the 2019 Embraer S.A. Aircraft, Model EMB-135BJ – LEGACY 650E, with Serial Number 14501239 (hereinafter “Aircraft”).
Aviation Consulting Corp. transfers all ownership rights of the Aircraft to Abelia Limited, and all records of ownership shall be corrected to reflect the Plaintiff’s ownership.”
