THE EX-HEAD OF THE BFG-CREDIT BANK WAS ATTRACTED TO THE SUBSIDY FOR 43.8 BILLION

Denis Puresev, who appeared in the criminal case of 13 billion stolen from the BFG-Credit bank, was brought to subsidiary responsibility (case no. A40-163846/2016). The District Court, which considered the cassation appeal against the verdicts of lower instances on May 15, 2023, agreed with the Decision of the Ninth Court of Appeal, issued on January 27, 2023. The complaint remained without satisfaction.

The State Corporation DIA (Deposit Insurance Agency), which initiated the imposition of subsidiary liability, previously managed to attract seven more persons who managed the financial organization to it. In particular, the main owners of the bankrupt bank, Yuri Glotser and Yevgeny Maftsir, will have to answer. The amount of their debt was estimated by experts at 43.8 billion rubles.

As reported by "Право.ги ", a number of charges were brought against Puresev and three other ex-managers of the bank. All of them were connected with the theft of funds and their withdrawal abroad. According to the investigation, bank employee Yulia Finkelstein, deputy head of the credit department Alexey Gorlin, former deputy chairman of the Board of the bank Mikhail Doroginin and Denis Puresev, who had the status of a lawyer at the time of detention, embezzled about 12.9 billion rubles.

Money in the form of obviously non-repayable loans was given to shell companies and flowed to financial markets abroad. In total, according to law enforcement agencies, during the period from 2014 to 2016, ex-managers transferred money to more than 40 controlled structures. Real estate was bought abroad with the funds received.

The bank itself lost its license in mid-2016. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation has established that the quality of the financial institution's assets is unsatisfactory, and the bank's management assesses the risks assumed inadequately. As a result, the bank's capitalization was completely lost.
