It was decided to recover ₽629 million from the persons who controlled the bank.

Those brought to justice included: former board member Tatyana Tabachenkova, ex-chairman of the board of directors Ivan Ulyanov and former member of the credit committee Alexei Krivtsov. At the same time, the cassation court overturned the decision to refuse the DIA to bring to subsidiary liability the ex-member of the bank's board of directors Tatyana Pavlyuchenkova, sending the case in this part for a new consideration.
