2023: Seizure of property worth 10 billion rubles

On October 18, 2023, the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal seized the property of the beneficiary of Agrosoyuz Bank Andrei Shlyakhovoy in the amount of 10 billion rubles. The reason for this was the statement of the state corporation "Deposit Insurance Agency" (DIA).

The Bank of Russia revoked Agrosoyuz CB LLC's banking license on November 7, 2018 due to the fact that "adherence to risk led to the formation of a significant amount of distressed assets on the credit institution's balance sheet." After that, the Bank of Russia issued an order to Shlyakhov to reduce his share in his other credit institution, UM-Bank. The regulator revoked the license from UM-Bank on November 14, 2018.

On February 4, 2019, the Moscow Arbitration Court declared Agrosoyuz Bank bankrupt, and the DIA was approved as the bankruptcy trustee. The agency appealed to the court with a demand to recover 10 billion rubles in losses from 10 former top managers of Agrosoyuz. The defendants in the lawsuit were, among other things, the former chairman of the bank's board of directors Andrei Berezin, the former chairman of the boards Alexei Zelentsov, members of the board of directors Andrei Shlyakhovoy, Mikhail Lavrentiev, Valery Kuzmin, deputy chairmen Irina Bakina and Andrei Somov.

On December 15, 2021, the Moscow Arbitration Court partially granted the DIA's petition, arresting Zelentsov's property in the amount of 10 billion rubles. The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal on March 15, 2022 upheld this decision. At the same time, the court of first instance refused the DIA to seize Shlyakhovoy's property. This ruling on October 18, 2023 was overturned by the Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal.

Interim measures were taken within the framework of a separate dispute on bringing persons who controlled Agrosoyuz Bank to civil liability in the form of recovery of losses. The adoption of interim measures will increase the likelihood of actual receipt of funds in favor of the bank's creditors, the DIA said in a statement.[1]
