2023: Imprisonment for 11 years and a fine of 1.6 million rubles. for fraud on an especially large scale

In early February 2023, a debate was held in the Simonovsky Court of Moscow on the case of bankers from three credit institutions. The defendants are accused of embezzling approximately 1.5 billion rubles by issuing bad loans secured by barrels of "expensive chemical raw materials," which in fact turned out to be ordinary water.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, a criminal case on fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was initiated against the heads of KB Investment Union LLC Maurice Rasulov, TUSARbank JSC Vladimir Kagan, KB Pulse Capital LLC Dmitry Ilyin and Irina Dokuchalova. Their alleged accomplices, Georgy Tsiklauria, Igor Yakubovich and Pyotr Chistov, also appear in the materials.

TUSARbank JSC

The investigation was initiated at the request of the Deposit Insurance Agency to the GUEBiPK Ministry of Internal Affairs: in the spring of 2017, this organization made a request to conduct an audit for violations of the law in the financial and economic activities of these structures. The fact is that in 2015-2016. "Investment Union," "TUSARbank" and "Pulse of the capital" were deprived of licenses by the Central Bank due to a highly risky credit policy, dubious operations to withdraw money abroad in large volumes, as well as the complete loss of their own funds. According to the results of the audit, the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a criminal case: it was established that in 2014 and 2015. the defendants in the case actively distributed deliberately bad loans to one-day firms controlled by their accomplices.

The prosecutor's office, convinced of the proof of guilt of all the defendants, asked to appoint Petr Chistov 14 years [imprisonment] and a fine of 3 million rubles. George Cyclauria - 13 years and 6 months and 2 million rubles, Igor Yakubovich - 13 years and 2 million rubles, Vladimir Kagan - 11 years and 1.6 million rubles, Dmitry Ilyin and Maurice Rasulov - 9 years and 6 months and 950 thousand rubles. each. Least of all, the prosecutor asked the court for Irina Dokuchalova - eight years in prison and a fine of 800 thousand rubles, - said in the publication of the newspaper Kommersant.

The defendants themselves, as noted, do not admit guilt: they and their defense declare that the investigation and the state prosecution did not provide evidence of illegal activities.^[1]
