According to eyewitnesses, at the same time such number of the armed special forces soldiers in Togliatti was not seen since 1997 when cleaning of AvtoVAZ from criminals was carried out.

Investigators demanded from the head of official division to issue them all documentation connected with construction of shopping center "Torpedo", first of all that where calculations of cost of this object contained. However, here security officers were waited by disappointment: as it became clear, the department did not take part in this procedure.

All three were placed in IVS on Petrovka, 38. In the afternoon on February 27 the interrogations of detainees continuing till late evening began.

It is about overestimate of cost of the center upon purchase of this object of NTB.

The Tolyatti bank was acquired by the center for 1.9 billion rubles, however the investigation believes that the actual cadastral value of shopping center did not exceed 976 million rubles. Thus, counted ICR the former heads of NTB caused to the credit institution damage in the amount of 933.9 million rubles. Bankers are suspected of the fraud committed in especially large size (Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). They do not admit guilt.

Its construction began in October, 2004. It was supposed that the area of the center will be about 35 thousand sq.m, and the companies affiliated with National trade bank which was headed at that time by future president of Globex Vitaly Vavilin acted as the project orderer. The Neksus company of the local businessman Alexander Kobets who was also well familiar with the banker acted as the builder. However building at first clogged, and then at all was frozen though readiness of shopping center made already about 80%. An object was on balance of UK "Financial Business Systems" (it is also involved in criminal case), which managed the Mutual funds of the real estate under control at first of NTB, and then Globex. In 2016 the center was put in operation then passed under management of "Дом.РФ".

Investigators of ICR are going to take Basmanny Court of Moscow with petitions for election of a measure of restraint to the delayed Tolyatti bankers.

Proceedings about taking of a bribe are initiated against the investigator Miniakhmetov

Staff of Investigative Committee and FSB in July, 2020 delayed the senior special investigator of Investigative Committee Ruslan Miniakhmetov. He is suspected of taking of a bribe from bankers whom he accused of plunders. Criminal case about taking of a bribe in especially large size was brought personally by the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin.

In work of the investigator Miniakhmetov there was a criminal case concerning the ex-heads of National trade bank from Togliatti accused of plunder of 572.9 million rubles belonging to the shareholder of bank — to VEB. Most of defendants are under house arrests.

On the same day returned to the investigator Ruslan Miniakhmetov the certificate of SK, personal belongings and released, his lawyer Konstantin Trapaidze reported RIA Novosti. SK accused Miniakhmetov of bribery in especially large size, but the Deputy Prosecutor General Victor Grin repealed the resolution on criminal proceedings. The investigation appealed against this solution.

TASS cites words of the lawyer Miniakhmetov: the investigator was delayed because of indications about a bribe there is nobody the condemned citizen whose surname the defender does not call.

According to the story by the lawyer, senior special investigator of the Main Investigation Department of the IC RF Ruslan Miniakhmetov delayed because of indications twice condemned on the case of fraud and about a bribe. But after loud detention the message came already late at night that the investigation made the decision to release the colonel.

According to the lawyer, the management on investigation of crimes of official of SK was engaged in the investigator and it was helped by management "M" of FSB. It is known that the prisoner gave evidences on the investigator four years ago.

Why his words only now "were put to use" - unclear. In general prisoners extremely seldom thank investigators for the done work.

The colonel was interrogated and, according to the defender, nothing, except these indications, at interrogating was. Therefore it appeared to charge there is nothing to show to the investigator more.

According to the lawyer, Miniakhmetov did not initiate proceedings against the citizen who accused him of a bribe for not initiation of proceedings, and received criminal case in two months after it was initiated.
