After the receipt of applications for loans, according to the investigation, Grigor and Platonov personally approved the conclusion of the relevant agreements. After that, the funds entered the loan accounts of fictitious borrowers. The amount of damage amounted to over 3.9 billion rubles.

The defendants were found guilty 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. Such acts are punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years. Grigor received seven years in prison and a fine of 1 million rubles. He is also disqualified from holding senior business positions for two years. In turn, Platonov was sentenced to five years in prison.

The Bank of Russia revoked the banking license from the Oil Alliance in 2017. The regulator said that the credit institution placed funds in low-quality assets and did not create reserves adequate to the accepted risks. At the same time, the leaders and owners of the bank "did not take effective measures to normalize its activities."^[1]
