THE APPEAL UPHELD THE SEIZURE OF ASSETS IN THE BANKRUPTCY CASE OF VORONEZH BANK

THE APPEAL UPHELD THE SEIZURE OF ASSETS IN THE BANKRUPTCY CASE OF VORONEZH BANK
The appeal (9th AAC) confirmed the initial decision of the court of first instance, keeping the assets of the Baranovsky family and the Stimul-BVI training center under arrest. Restrictive measures were introduced in connection with the subsidy established in the framework of the Voronezh Bank insolvency case. The amount of money under arrest is about 1 billion rubles.

According to the court file, in July, the bank's bankruptcy trustee, the Deposit Insurance Agency, filed a petition with arbitration, demanding that 947.1 million rubles be recovered from the Stimul–BVI Management Center and its owners. The details of the claims made against the individuals are not disclosed in the case file. Among the citizens mentioned in the DIA statement are Anna Zhiryakova, Maria Savina and three representatives of the Baranovsky family. 

Earlier, the seizure of assets was approved by the verdict of the first instance. The attempt to appeal it was unsuccessful: the appeals board indicated that such definitions could not be reviewed. 

The banking structure lost its license in June 2018, according to the decision of the Central Bank. The reason was the suspicion that the credit institution conducts "shadow" currency transactions. 

The bankruptcy process that began after that was repeatedly extended. At the same time, the regulator and the Board of Directors revealed agreements indicating a possibly deliberate attempt to withdraw property and finances. These episodes formed the basis of the criminal case. The Voronezh Police are currently investigating major fraud. 

At the same time, the interim measures against the Baranovskys remain in force, and the consideration of the subsidy case continues. If the DIA's claims are satisfied, the recovery in favor of creditors may amount to almost a billion rubles.
