History

2023: The court sentenced the defendant in the case of embezzlement of 1.5 billion rubles from Nevsky Bank

On November 13, 2023, the Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow sentenced Dmitry Shekhovtsov to 8 years in prison, who, according to the press service of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), is an accomplice in the theft of Nevsky Bank funds worth more than 1.5 billion rubles.

Dmitry Shekhovtsov was accused of large-scale fraud committed by an organized group. According to the investigation, in 2019, Shekhovtsov and his accomplices instructed persons who did not know about the crime committed about the need to take documents out of the Nevsky Bank office. In fact, money was stolen from a credit institution. More details of the case were not disclosed by mid-November 2023.

More than 1.5 billion rubles were stolen from Nevsky Bank

The court verdict was delivered after the statement of the DIA. The agency said that the civil claim declared by the state corporation in the amount of more than 1.5 billion rubles was satisfied. The arrest imposed during the consideration of the criminal case by the court on the property of the convict was preserved until the execution of the sentence in part of the civil claim, the DIA added.^[1]

2020: Bankruptcy

In 2020, the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, at the request of the Central Bank, declared Nevsky Bank insolvent. At the same time, the regulator claimed that the bank's management appropriated its securities before the credit institution lost its license. It was due to the theft of several billion rubles that Nevsky Bank lost its license, although additional funds were attracted to the bank before the crime.

2019: License Revocation

The Bank of Russia revoked the license from Nevsky Bank on December 13, 2019. The regulator then came to the conclusion that the credit institution completely lost its capital as a result of the theft of a significant part of its assets.
