Earlier, Sergey Meshchanov, deputy chairman of the Tatfondbank board, was detained on suspicion of fraud, and before that, Vadim Merzlyakov, who holds a similar position.

Earlier, on December 15, 2016, the Bank of Russia introduced a three-month moratorium on satisfying the claims of Tatfondbank creditors. In January 2017, Kommersant reported that new victims were found in Tatfondbank. Many of its investors fraudulently turned into customers of its subsidiary investment company TFB-Finance, and now their funds are not subject to insurance compensation.

Later, the Bank of Russia decided to introduce the temporary administration of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) into two "subsidiary" banks of Tatfondbank - Sovetsky Bank and Timber Bank. As a result, Tatfondbank itself lost its license.

On April 11, 2017 the Volga regional court of Kazan considered the petition of the Investigation Department of the Russian Investigative Committee in Tatarstan for extension of a measure of restraint to the former chairman of the board of PJSC Tatfondbank (TFB), the deputy of the State Council of the republic 52-year-old Roberta Mussina. The representative of the SU, referring in particular to the fact that not all investigative actions were carried out, asked to leave Mr. Musin in jail for another three months. Lawyers for the suspect asked to limit themselves to house arrest. The district court extended Mr. Musin's detention until July 16.

According to investigators, Robert Musin and "unidentified by the investigation" stole 3.1 billion rubles through the TFB from the Central Bank. In the form of a loan. Later, another episode was revealed, according to which Mr. Musin allegedly abused his authority to withdraw collateral property provided by TFB for loans issued to Kazan Urman LLC in the amount of more than 847 million rubles.

Later, according to the investigation, Musin fully pleaded guilty to four episodes under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Abuse of authority," the amount of damage on them amounted to 24.6 billion rubles. In total, Musin is suspected of 21 episodes with a total amount of damage of more than 50 billion rubles.

2021:12 years in prison for abuse of authority for tens of billions

On September 28, 2021, the Vakhitovsky District Court of Kazan sentenced Robert Musin to 12 years in a penal colony. The former head of Tatfondbank was found guilty under Art. 201 of the Criminal Code (abuse of authority).

The court also banned Musin from holding senior positions in companies for three years and deprived him of state awards, including the Order of Merit to the Fatherland of the second degree and the medal "For Valiant Labor." In addition, the court decided to recover 23.4 billion rubles from Musin in favor of the Deposit Insurance Agency.

Ex-head of Tatfondbank Robert Musin sentenced to 12 years in prison for abuse of authority for tens of billions

The prosecution previously demanded for the ex-banker 14.9 years in a penal colony. Musin himself partially pleaded guilty and hoped for release.

Musin was charged with committing six episodes of crimes under Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code (abuse of authority). According to investigators, from January 2013 to December 2016, the accused used his powers contrary to the legitimate interests of this organization and in order to extract benefits and advantages for himself and others.

Musin himself during the last word claimed that he did not hide the true state of the bank and did not want to achieve its bankruptcy. He admitted that he really hid the true state of affairs in issuing loans to the DOMO group of companies. According to him, this was a necessary measure to hide the signs of bankruptcy, and not achieve it.

Musin's lawyer appealed to the court with a request to impose a sentence on the ex-banker within the period that he spent in the pre-trial detention center and under house arrest from March 2017 to the day of sentencing. According to Musin's defense, he should be acquitted of one of the episodes, criminal prosecution of two episodes should be stopped after the statute of limitations expires, and the three remaining episodes should be reclassified from Part 2 of Article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of authority) to softer articles.^[1]
