Earlier, on April 25, 2025, the Moscow Arbitration Court, at the request of the DIA, brought these persons to subsidiary liability. This list also includes former board member Maria Maklakova and former board member Genadi Gordon. In addition to them, persons who contributed to the implementation of schemes for the withdrawal of assets from the bank were brought to justice.

The potential amount of liability is estimated at ₽33 billion. The final amount will be determined upon completion of settlements with the bank's creditors. The grounds for bringing to justice were the issuance of technical loans and the use of other schemes for the withdrawal of liquid assets.

The Central Bank of Russia revoked the banking license from Rosenergobank on April 10, 2017. The reason was the bank's inability to fulfill obligations to creditors. In addition, in violation of the regulator's instructions, the credit institution inaccurately reflected in the reporting information about unsatisfied claims of creditors.

The Bank of Russia has repeatedly applied supervisory response measures against Rosenergobank, including restrictions on attracting household deposits. After a survey by the interim administration, it turned out that the assets of the credit institution actually amounted to ₽18,71 billion instead of the ₽46,84 billion reflected in the statements. The amount of real loan debt was adjusted from ₽31,4 billion to ₽10,09 billion.^[1]

The decision was made at the request of the state corporation "Deposit Insurance Agency" (DIA).

This amount of ₽33 billion is a potential liability. The final amount of recovery will be determined after the completion of settlements with the creditors of Rosenergobank.

The grounds for bringing these persons to subsidiary liability were the issuance of technical loans and the use of other schemes for the withdrawal of liquid assets from the bank. Technical loans are loans issued to fictitious borrowers without the intention of repaying them, which leads to an artificial overstatement of the bank's assets and withdrawal of funds.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee completed the investigation of the criminal case on the withdrawal of large sums from Rosenergobank. According to the investigation, the criminal community was engaged in the theft of money. Its participants acquired the bank through fictitious companies after the credit institution had a hidden "financial hole" in the amount of 20 billion rubles. After the purchase, attackers used different schemes to withdraw money from the bank. For example, the contributions of Muscovites were accumulated in a specially created additional office of Rosenergobank.^[2]
