2023: Preventive measure - house arrest in the case of embezzlement of 3.7 billion rubles

On December 18, 2023, it became known that the Basmanny Court Moscow sent Olga Donets, the former head of the credit department of the bankrupt bank, under house arrest. " Century It takes place as a witness in the case of embezzlement of more than 3.7 billion rubles from this financial organization.

A criminal case on large-scale embezzlement from Vek Bank was initiated by the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR). During the investigation launched in 2017, it was established that almost all the money that disappeared from the bank ended up in the accounts of firms allegedly controlled by the former chairman of the organization's board, Oleg Skryl. In September 2018, on charges of abuse of power (part 1 of article 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), he was sent under house arrest, but later the preventive measure was replaced by a recognizance not to leave.

The court sent under house arrest the former head of the credit department of the bankrupt bank "Vek"

According to the investigation, Skryl conceived a scheme to steal depositors' money in May 2015. Fraud, according to the TFR, was carried out according to the standard scheme - by issuing loans to one-day firms controlled by it, whose accounts were opened at Vek Bank. At the same time, as stated in the case file, it was Olga Donets, at the direction of Skryl, who drew up loan agreements between Vek Bank and two dozen structures that do not conduct any financial and economic activities. All of them received loans from 15 million to 190 million rubles.

The Kommersant newspaper reports that 40-year-old Donets is suspected of complicity in a particularly large embezzlement (part 5 of article 33 and part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The representative of the TFR appealed to the Basmanny Court of Moscow with a petition to detain the defendant on the grounds that, remaining at large, Donets "may hide, destroy evidence in the case, threaten the witnesses who testified against her, and also coordinate his actions with an accomplice in the crime." However, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of house arrest, given the fact that Donets did not hide and appeared as a witness for interrogations at the first request of the investigator for four years.^[1]
