Beneficiary of Rive Gauche and his wife were detained over embezzlement
August and Inna Meyer were detained in St. Petersburg. The spouses are suspected of embezzling 2.3 billion rubles. Previously, only Dmitry Kostygin, another co-owner of the Yulmart bankrupt company, was involved in this case, initiated in 2017.
Meyer is a resident of US, who received Russian passport in the 1990s. Forbes estimated his wealth at $ 650 million, which allowed him to enter the list of 200 richest citizens of Russia.
Representatives of the Finstar investment group, which owns the Rive Gauche chain, said that the arrest of the business owner could hardly be related to the operation of cosmetics stores. Their activities continue as usual and so far without complications.
Sberbank then turned to the law enforcement agencies, simultaneously demanding 2.43 billion from the company, taking into account factoring. Each of the co-owners of Yulmart also received a lawsuit for 1 billion from a credit institution. In the course of the investigation, in which only Kostygin had previously been involved, it turned out that the bank was provided with inaccurate information about the financial condition of the company when concluding a loan agreement, as the company soon went bankrupt.
Sberbank managed to recover 1 billion rubles of the main debt and 338 million rubles of a penalty from Yulmart, which was declared insolvent in 2018. At the same time, the investigation of the case continued, and in May 2021, regular searches were carried out in the houses of the company's leaders.
Kostygin was declared insolvent in November 2020. Considering that the businessman owed not only Sberbank, but also VTB (more than 644 million rubles), during the bankruptcy procedures, an active search for the entrepreneur's funds to pay off the debt began. As noted in the publication of ‘Kommersant’, Kostygin might have transferred part of his assets to Meyer's wife Inna.

Various media outlets suggest that the reason for the detention could be loans received by Yulmart in 2016.
The joint Internet business of Meyer and Kostygin then received funding from Sberbank for 1 billion rubles. However, the partners got into a conflict, trying to acquire the share of the third co-owner Mikhail Vasinkevich.Sberbank then turned to the law enforcement agencies, simultaneously demanding 2.43 billion from the company, taking into account factoring.

Kostygin was initially suspected of a large-scale fraud, but later qualification of his actions was changed.
According to the investigation, Kostygin caused damage to the bank, but it did not contain signs of theft. However, this decision was canceled by the prosecutor's office and, as many assume, now they are talking about fraudulent activities again.Sberbank managed to recover 1 billion rubles of the main debt and 338 million rubles of a penalty from Yulmart, which was declared insolvent in 2018.
