2016: Revocation of Baikalbank license

BaikalBank was deprived of its license in August 2016 after a raid by depositors and the Bank of Russia revealed operations with signs of asset withdrawal. As a result of the bank's bankruptcy, the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) paid over 7 billion rubles to the victims. At the same time, about 3 thousand depositors and entrepreneurs who kept more than 1.4 million rubles in accounts were left without compensation.

Among the depositors whom the bank "threw" for large sums, the ex-first deputy prime minister of the Republic of Belarus Vladimir Heidebrecht, who lost about 72 kilograms of gold in an impersonal metal account during the bank's collapse, is especially distinguished. In total, at BaikalBank, the former official held 176 million rubles previously earned from a deal to sell the oligarch Oleg Deripaska a stake in the Selenginsky CCC, which he previously led. Moreover, the situation with the loss of such colossal amounts for Buryatia is unique - so many funds of one depositor have never disappeared in banks.

2019: Criminal case on the fact of the loss of 72 kg of gold

In 2019, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Buryatia opened a criminal case against the former chairman of the board of BaikalBank Vadim Egorov under part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code (fraud on an especially large scale) on the fact of the loss of 72 kilograms of gold. Among the victims, the ex-first deputy chairman of the government, Khural deputy Vladimir Heidebrecht.

After being elected as a deputy in the hall of the People's Khural, Heidebrecht was at the next table with the head of BaikalBank, NH deputy Vadim Egorov. Which between the meetings convinced a fellow "spravorossa" to transfer money from the Irkutsk bank to BaikalBank. Moreover, most of the 176 million rubles, apparently, on the advice of a party colleague went to an impersonal gold metal account (MHI) opened at BaikalBank. Which, unlike cash deposits, is not subject to state insurance guarantees.

Under these circumstances, Mr. Heidebrecht took an unduly high risk of investing most of his capital in MLAs. In the "zero" years, gold grew continuously - from $300 per troy ounce in 2002 to $1800 in 2012. In fact, the invested capital grew 5-6 times! However, since 2012, gold has rolled down and by 2016 fell to $1,100 per ounce.

In 2015, realizing that it was time to record losses, Heidebrecht asked Egorov to return the funds. But, as follows from the DIA data, in the spring of 2015, funds from Heidebrecht's gold account were debited to a certain LLC Vitimsnab.

We add that by this time the social situation of the depositor had decreased to the level of a pensioner from Kaliningrad (where the ex-deputy left) and they had almost stopped talking to him at BaikalBank. Only stubbornly dragged time. Accordingly, when the bank raided depositors on April 26, 2016, and then revoked the license, the prospects for the return of gold began to approach zero.

The republican media said that Vadim Egorov denies his guilt in the disappearance of gold at BaikalBank, considering the loss of funds only an unsuccessful investment of the depositor.

2021: Award of 5 years in prison

In November 2021, the court appointed Vadim Egorov 5 years in prison in the colony. The total amount of embezzlement amounted to more than 6.4 billion rubles. The ultimate beneficiary of Baikalbank Ilya Kligman is put on the international wanted list.
