Interpol refused to announce to the international search of the Russian oligarch, founder of the developer holding O1 Group Boris Mintz, as well as his sons of Dmitry and Alexander, writes RBC with reference to the lawyer of the family of Businessman Fyodor Kupriyanov.
The request to the Interpol Commission sent the National Central Bureau of the Organization in Russia. He was considered for almost six months, after which it was decided not to include Mint and his family members in the number of wanted persons, told Kupriyanov.
As the reason for refusal, Interpol indicated the “lack of informed argumentation in the case.” “The procedure is sufficiently long, and each side is invited to submit its evidence. Unlike family members who submitted evidence that there are no special suspicions to their address, the Russian side in Interpol has not provided anything,” said the lawyer.
In Russia, MINZ is declared in interstate (in the territory of the CIS countries) and international wanted list. By the court decision, businessmen and his sons were appointed a preventive measure in the form of absentee arrest. This means that upon arrival in the country they will be detained and placed in the SIZO.
The businessman is accused of embezzlement of the bank “Opening”, which in 2017 was sent to a sanation (the procedure of financial recovery) CenterBank. According to the investigators, the O1 group, which had obligations to loans before the “discovery”, provided by the company owned by the company, issued unsecured bonds and at the expense of the funds raised the debt to the bank. At the same time, the “Opening” itself was bought most of the paper.
In this way, the secured commitments were actually replaced by unsecured that the new management of the bank considers illegal and demands to recognize the transactions invalid.
