Investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia have completed the investigation of a criminal case on the multi-million dollar embezzlement of funds from PJSC AKB Svyaz-Bank. This was stated by the official representative of the ministry, Irina Volk.
According to her, “the preliminary investigation of the criminal case against the former director of the company for the production of refined vegetable oils and their fractions of CJSC Oil Production Nikolai Rodnischev has been completed.”
“He is accused of large-scale fraud committed as part of an organized group, as well as the legalization of funds acquired as a result of a crime,” said Volk, whose words are quoted on the MVD-Media website.
Earlier, in November 2021, Rodnischev was charged in the final version with committing crimes under part 4 of article 159 and part 3 of article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
As RBC reminds, in 2013 the company for the production of refined vegetable oils and their fractions CJSC Oil Production took a loan from Svyaz-Bank to buy agricultural raw materials for primary and industrial processing. In April 2013, Svyaz-Bank transferred 400 million rubles to the company’s account. Rodnishchev’s accomplices used online banking to channel the stolen money through the settlement accounts of controlled legal entities. One of the companies acquired investment bank promissory notes in the amount of 150 million rubles. The members of the organized group divided them among themselves.
We add that Svyaz-Bank, founded in 1991, was seriously affected by the 2008 crisis and ended up undergoing the reorganization of VEB.RF with an encumbrance with assets. By May 2020, Promsvyazbank completed the merger of Svyaz-Bank.
