The court ruled on the claim of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), which accused the former top managers of the Interactive Bank of forming technical loan debt, paying and accounting for securities without their actual receipt, acquiring illiquid securities. All this, according to the DIA, caused damage to the credit institution.

Then Geraskin's property and funds in the amount of 979 million rubles were arrested. Dmitry Konokov was arrested more than 683 million rubles, Ekaterina Polonina - more than 31 million rubles, Bukhtiyarov - more than 477 million rubles, Mikhail Bataev - more than 31 million rubles. Other individuals also had property and financial assets seized.

At the same time, in May 2021, the Moscow Arbitration Court terminated proceedings on the DIA claim against Bataev, and later lifted the arrest from his property.^[1]
