Will the process work? After the intervention of the press, Igor Krasnov’s department became involved in the investigation of the RCSB scheme ^*

The human rights position of the Kompromat-Ural editorial staff once again had a positive result. The day before, after our repeated publications (for example, here and here), it became known about the inclusion of the prosecutor’s office of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the bankruptcy process of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB). This was sought, among other things, by the bank’s injured depositors and deceived clients of the Golden Reserve financial pyramid affiliated with it. A few weeks ago, they reported to the editors of Kompromat-Ural that the judge of the Bashkir arbitration court,  Aidar  Kamaev,  gave the supervisors, as they say, a turn away, de facto closing a socially significant process from the prosecutor’s “supervision.” Now that resonant definition of Mr. Kamaev, after attracting public attention, has been completely crossed out.

Yesterday, January 13, 2020, the Eighteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal satisfied the demands of the prosecutor’s office and overturned the ruling of the Arbitration Court of the Republic of Bashkortostan (i.e., that same judge Kamaev - note "Kompromat-Ural"), by which the supervisory agency was denied entry into the process in as a third party in the bankruptcy case of Roskomsnabbank. The basis for the petition was the appeal of the Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia about lending to RCSB borrowers with questionable solvency, as well as a possible violation of legislation in the field of combating illegal financial transactions, the republican prosecutor’s office reminded the Kompromat-Ural portal.

The collapse of Roskomsnabbank and the Gold Reserve pyramid in March 2019 caused mass protests throughout Bashkiria. Despite the demands of depositors, law enforcement agencies for a long time pretended that they “did not see” signs of crime.

At the same time, the Chairman of the Central Bank, Elvira  Nabiullina , personally reported the criminal acts of the beneficiaries and top managers of the RCSB to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia  . Multi-billion-dollar funds were diverted from the balance sheet of RCSB through obviously non-repayable loans to the “necessary” LLCs, and “their own” pyramid “Gold Reserve” ruled right in the bank’s offices, defrauding gullible pensioners (the number of victims is measured in the thousands).

How to hide “family schematosis”?

Before the license was revoked, RKSB was controlled by the family of local oligarch  Flyur  Gallyamov ; his nephew Rifat Garipov served on the bank’s board of directors  . Both are deputies of the State Assembly of Bashkiria from United Russia, who have administrative and financial resources. Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov is trying to divert the attention of the public and competent authorities from his actions in the RCSB, advertising himself as an ardent “member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation.” But in reality, in Ufa, Garipov is known as a major businessman in the First Trust development structure. And he probably has something to fear: auditors of the Central Bank and the DIA insist that assets were “criminally” withdrawn from RSSB, including in the interests of the First Trust.

Residents of Ufa, who contacted the editorial office of Kompromat-Ural, believe that it is not beneficial for Gallyamov and his nephew Garipov to actually investigate the state in the RCSB-Gold Reserve schemes. This also applies to red tape in the arbitration process for bank bankruptcy, where Judge Kamaev, for reasons that were clear to himself, Gallyamov and Garipov, did not want to involve the prosecutor’s office. This also applies to a thorough criminal investigation, which thousands of applicants are demanding and which has not begun for many months.

The first criminal case became known only in November 2020, i.e. more than a year and a half (!) after the collapse of RCSB and Zolotoy Reserve. The Main Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Bashkiria finally opened a criminal case on the grounds of illegal banking activities at Zolotoy Zazas LLC. In the work of the financial organization, they found signs of a crime under Article 172 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Journalists are preparing new publications, as well as requests to Prosecutor General  Igor Krasnov  and Prosecutor of the Republic of Belarus  Vladimir Vedernikov  about the results of prosecutorial supervision over the thoroughness, comprehensiveness and completeness of the police investigation. A reasonable question is to initiate new criminal cases - this time through the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, chaired by  Alexander  Bastrykin . The legislation includes criminal cases against persons with parliamentary credentials under the investigative jurisdiction of the Investigative Committee.

In addition, some of the expectations of the affected citizens to intensify the investigation are associated with the new deputy prosecutor general in the Volga Federal District, who, as predicted, will become  Nikolai Shishkin .
