2023: Sentence - 6.5 years in prison in the case of embezzlement of 89 million in the bank "Credit Express"

On October 3, 2023, the Cheremushkinsky Court of Moscow sentenced Vasily Brisk and Veliky to 6.5 years in prison the president of the Russian Milk agricultural holding in the case of embezzlement of 190 million rubles of funds from Credit-Express Bank. He was found guilty under Part 4 of Art. 160 of the Criminal Code (misappropriation or embezzlement by an organized group). He will serve his sentence in a general regime colony.

In addition, the former chief accountant of Credit Express Maria Antonova and the head of the credit department Anastasia Novotnaya, the court appointed seven years in a general regime colony, ex-general director of the bank Alla Kabanova and senior economist of the credit department Yegor Pikhtin - six years six months in a colony, Konstantin Kabanov, son of Kabanova - two years six months in a general regime colony. The bank's shareholder Tatyana Makarenko was sentenced by the court to four and a half years of suspended imprisonment.

The convicts, like Brisk and Veliky, were taken into custody in court. Kabanova did not appear for the verdict. The court satisfied the civil claims for damages filed by the bank.

The court found that from 2013 to 2018, convicts stole more than 190 million rubles from the bank through forged loan agreements that were drawn up for former clients or employees of shell firms.

According to Kommersant, in January 2023, shares in several structures of the Russian Milk agricultural holding were sold. The shares of CJSC "Your Financial Trustee," which is associated with the founder of "Russian Milk" Vasily Brisk and Veliky, were put up for auction.

Since 2006, another investigation has been conducted against the businessman: he was accused of creating a criminal community (Article 210 of the Criminal Code), fraud (Article 159), falsification of evidence (part 3 of Article 303) and legalization of property (Article 174.1). The charges were related to land plots, which, according to the investigation, were fraudulently acquired. In August 2020, the criminal case was terminated. The proceedings under the article on the creation of a criminal community were terminated after amendments were made to the legislation that did not allow prosecution under the article on the creation of an OPS in connection with entrepreneurial activity.^[1]
