DEPOSIT INSURANCE AGENCY DEMANDS 1.3 BILLION FROM EX-DIVA JEWELRY STORE MANAGEMENT
The Deposit Insurance Agency has filed a lawsuit against the former owners and managers of Diva LLC, which operated the Diva accessories store chain. There are claims against them in the amount of about 1.3 billion. These funds are supposed to cover the company's debts borrowed from Bank Voronezh under several loan agreements.
The bank lost its license in 2018. After that, the state corporation became the representative of the institution. Now she's trying to repay the debt. The Moscow court has already started considering the claim. The arbitration court managed to seize the defendants' assets as interim measures.
Among the defendants is the current manager of the Stockmann retail chain, Gennady Levkin. Financial demands have also been made against the former heads of Diva, Nikolai Sazonov and Alexander Chigrin. Oleg Karsakov, who has been heading the company for the past seven years, was among the defendants. It is noteworthy that the list of defendants in the claim of the Deposit Insurance Agency also includes a Cypriot company that has owned a retail chain since 2016. All of them may be responsible for financial losses related to the Diva's activities.
The retail chain has been operating in Russia since 2006, operating on the basis of franchising. Ten years ago, the Russian business was acquired by the owner of the F5 Jeans and Academy chains. But soon the new owner in the person of Nexis Group faced financial difficulties. This led to the closure of several brands, including Diva. In 2016, the company's revenue decreased by 17%, and its profit decreased by more than seven times. There is no more information about the current financial situation of the network.
In recent years, "Diva" has been tried several times to declare bankruptcy. But each time the procedure was disrupted due to lack of funds for its implementation. Now representatives of the Deposit Insurance Agency are confident that there are high chances to repay at least some of the debts. Bankruptcy experts are confident that the process will be successful if the court recognizes the guilt of the company's executives and establishes a link between their actions and the bank's financial problems.
