2024: Recovery by the court of 2 billion rubles, 1 million euros and $2.9 million

In August 2024, it became known that the Moscow Arbitration Court ruled against the former chairman of the board of Klientsky bank Ilya Volosevich, recovering a significant amount of losses from him. The total amount of penalties amounted to ₽2 billion, more than €1 million and about $2.9 million. The court's decision is related to the bankruptcy case of the bank, which ceased operations in 2015.

According to Prime, this is not the first decision regarding Ilya Volosevich. Earlier, the courts of all instances, including the Supreme Court, found him guilty of causing losses to the Customer Bank. In April 2024, Ilya Volosevich was declared bankrupt at the request of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA). At that time, more than ₽2,7 billion were included in the register of creditors' claims. The latest decision concerns interest for the use of other people's money accrued for the period from April 26, 2022 to April 2024.

Volosevich is not the only person prosecuted in this case. Another former head of the bank "Client," Andrei Lopatov, was also found guilty of embezzlement of funds and the formation of illiquid assets through the issuance of loans to fictitious borrowers. About ₽6,8 billion, €10.8 million and $12.8 million were recovered from Lopatov.

The investigating authorities previously established that Volosevich and Lopatov, along with the third person involved in the case, Mikhail Klenovsky, were involved in a scheme to steal more than ₽100 million from the bank. In 2019, Svetlana Petrenko, a representative of the Investigative Committee, said that Klenovsky's case was brought to court, while Volosevich and Lopatov were put on the international wanted list. Volosevich in 2018 tried to obtain refugee status in Latvia.

The Central Bank of Russia revoked the license from Client Bank in July 2015. By that time, he occupied the 200th largest assets in the banking system of Russia.^[1]
