In the framework of the investigation of the criminal case, law enforcement officers suspected that the leadership of the Bank of Russia could be involved in the crime, and specifically supervising the work of the Moscow stock exchange of the regulator, Sergey Shvetsov. About this with reference to sources writes Kommersant.
The investigation found that due to the exchange fraud, the Voronezh Bank lost bonds of the federal loan (OFZ) by 1.5 billion rubles at prices significantly lower than the market. Finance Invest JSC, which sold them to third parties, soon announced bankruptcy.
Thus, “Voronezh” remained without its most liquid asset, and no one suffered responsibility for it. At the same time, law enforcement officers believe that the process itself was carried out with obvious violations and at an unbiased approach could not be ignored.
According to the investigation, March 14, 2018, a member of the Mosbery, Chairman of the Board of the National Clearing Center (NCC), Alexei Khavin excluded “Finance Invest” from the lists of bidders, which made it possible to deal with the sale of OFZ unnoticed.
In the Central Bank could not pass by such a case, because it was about the damage to the Mosbeger and its shareholders. The regulator conducted an inspection and before the Schvetov report on the detected violation. However, the deputy chairman of the Central Bank for incomprehensible cause did not give this report. Contributions to law enforcement agencies in recent years has not followed.
In Mosbier, they explained that Finance Invest was disconnected from trading in connection with the Rules of the NCC due to information on the company’s possible participation in questionable operations. The press service indicated that the NCC sold the provision on the company’s accounts at the market price. Including it was also about off.
However, later the stock exchange decided to cover losses, and did it at the expense of other Finance Investments. Dozens of physicals found that they have written off securities for a total amount of 1.2 billion rubles. Thus, the company “redeemed” a debt before the clearing center for too cheap the sale of OFZ. To return the shares to customers failed so far.
In this way, this situation can be another episode in the bankruptcy case of “Voronezh”, which has been continuing for more than two years. The only person involved is the former president of Bank Oleg Kislyak, who left Russia in May 2019, and later it was detained in Cyprus under a different name and with another passport.
