2022: Arrested in the case of withdrawal of 0.5 billion rubles from the Moscow Bill Bank

On October 10, 2022, it became known about the arrest of the former chairman of the board of the Moscow Bill Bank (MVB) Larisa Samarova. The Basmanny District Court of Moscow sent her to a pre-trial detention center until November 20, 2022.

According to Kommersant, the materials of the criminal case deal with the withdrawal from the bank of about 500 million rubles by issuing loans to insolvent borrowers. In total, the bankrupt financial institution owed creditors 934.6 million rubles.

Arrest of the former chairman of the board of the Moscow Bill Bank

A criminal case on the fact of a particularly large embezzlement (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) in the Moscow Bank of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened in May 2020. At the same time, the Central Bank appealed to law enforcement agencies with statements about causing property damage to a credit institution back in November 2018 and February 2019.

DHS lost its license in August 2018 due to "systematic operations aimed at concealing the real financial situation of the bank, investing in dubious assets, which is why a significant amount of assets of dubious quality were formed on the balance sheet of the credit institution." Larisa Samarova does not admit her guilt in the act incriminated to her.

According to the investigation, the embezzlement was carried out by lending to borrowers who had dubious solvency or obviously did not have the ability to pay off debts. In addition, the top management of the bank acquired shares of ZPIF "Holi Land" allegedly at a significantly inflated cost, and sold its property virtually without payment. Its acquirers, according to the TFR, were most likely persons affiliated with the owners of the DHS. As a result, at the time of the revocation of the license, the bank's assets were estimated at 569 million rubles, and the debt to creditors was more than 934 million rubles. At the same time, 817.7 million rubles of them fell on obligations to individuals and individual entrepreneurs.[1]
