THE SON OF THE EX-BENEFICIARY OF OTKRITIE, WHO ESCAPED FROM THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, WAS DECLARED BANKRUPT

On December 15, Dmitry Mints, the son of the ex-co-owner of Otkritie, was declared bankrupt in the capital arbitration (case No. A40-204242/20-66-228 ). Promsvyazbank (PSB) initiated the bankruptcy process at the beginning of 2020. The case was suspended several times, the lawsuit was sent for reconsideration.

Dmitry is one of the sons of Boris Mints, who heads the O1 Group. During his career, Mintz Jr. managed to work as a head of direction in the department of SDM-Bank, on the board of directors of FC Otkritie.

In October 2018, the court in Lefortovo issued a verdict on the recovery of $20 million from Dmitry Mints in favor of the PSB. The basis was a loan for which Mintz acted as a guarantor. In addition, before the reorganization of the PSB (owned by the Ananyev brothers), Mints was a member of the board of directors of the bank.

It is known that Dmitry and his brother Alexander in Russia are accused of embezzlement of 34 billion (Article 160, part 4). At the same time, both defendants are not in the country and have been put on the wanted list.

The investigation believes that the Minsk residents and the ex-head of Otkritie, Yevgeny Dankevich, signed a contract in 2017 involving the purchase of 40 billion bonds of O1 Group Finance. The inflated value of the securities allowed O1 Group to close its credit obligations ahead of schedule before the "Opening", and the bank itself was damaged.

Claims from Russian banking structures are not the only ones in the piggy bank of possible debt obligations of Dmitry Mints. Earlier, the Hong Kong firm Mercator Trade Finance Ltd had already applied to him with claims for 47.3 million. The case has not been considered yet. At the same time, Mintz Jr. has not yet submitted a plan to restructure his debts.
