On August 14, 2024, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow found the former deputy chairman of the board of Pir-Bank Andrei Serebrennikov guilty of embezzling more than 57 million rubles from a credit institution. The defendant received four years in prison.

As reported on the website of the state corporation "Deposit Insurance Agency" (DIA), Serebrennikov was found guilty of committing a crime under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale). The bank filed claims for compensation for property damage in the amount of 57,452,736 rubles.

It is also said that earlier, in addition to Serebrennikov, an ex-member of the board of Pir-Bank Anton Suvorov was brought to subsidiary liability: 1.7 billion rubles were jointly recovered from them in favor of the credit institution. In addition, 300 million rubles of losses were recovered from the former chairman of the bank's board Olga Kolosova in favor of the credit institution. The grounds for bringing these persons to justice were their actions to issue technical loans and other scheme operations to withdraw liquid assets from the bank.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, according to the case file, in order to steal money from the Pir-Bank, Serebrennikov, having become part of an organized group, "developed a plan, ensured the production of documents necessary to commit a crime, signed a loan agreement with a borrower who is a member of an organized group for 100 million 836 thousand rubles." The former deputy chairman of the board of Pir-Bank did not admit his guilt.

It is noted that the bank, represented by the bankruptcy trustee of the DIA, recognized the right to satisfy the claim declared in the framework of civil proceedings in the amount of more than 57 million rubles.^[1]
