Volovnik Alexander Davidovich biography family. Companies registered in the Saratov region could have participated in fraud with loans from Fundservicebank.
The Tverskoy Court of Moscow ruled to arrest the former owner and president of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik, and the first vice-president of this credit institution, Pyotr Ladonshchikov. They are accused of stealing 1.38 billion rubles. from Roscosmos funds placed in Fondservisbank.
This high-profile investigation was launched after the management of the state corporation addressed the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Mr. Volovnik does not admit guilt, and his former subordinate, on the contrary, is actively cooperating with the investigation.
The Tver Court of the capital was the first to consider yesterday the petition of the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation to arrest the former owner of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik, and the meeting almost began with a scandal. As it turned out, the banker’s lawyer did not come to court, meanwhile, literally in an hour and a half, the defendant was supposed to expire the maximum period of detention specified in the Code of Criminal Procedure - two days. The chairman of the Tverskoy court, Olga Solopova, who personally considered the petition, apparently assuming that Mr. Volovnik’s defense attorney could specifically resort to a simple tactical device in order to then demand the client’s release, suggested that the representative of the investigation “not disrupt the meeting” and provide the detainee with an appointed lawyer. A few minutes later the problem was resolved, and when the deadline for detention had already expired, the lawyer working with the banker on an agreement also came.
As follows from the materials read out in court, a criminal case regarding the theft of Roscosmos funds placed in Fondservisbank was opened in August 2015 by the 11th department of the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. Ms. Solopova read to the meeting participants a letter about the identified thefts, which the general director of the state corporation Igor Komarov sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The letter contains a resolution from the president addressed to Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika and FSB head Bortnikov,” the judge said. As follows from the appeal, $778 million and €18 million of Roscosmos were accumulated in the accounts of Fondservisbank, which the corporation intended to spend “in the future on the development of the space industry.” However, these funds disappeared.
The police preliminary investigation, which was initially conducted against unidentified persons under Part 4 of Art. 159.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud in the field of lending), progressed slowly. However, at the beginning of this year, after the intervention of the Prosecutor General's Office, the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over the case, and the investigation sharply intensified. The classification of the crime was changed to Part 4 of Art. 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (embezzlement committed on an especially large scale, using official position), and the first person involved in the case appeared - Alexander Volovnik. He was detained during searches carried out as part of the case; as the investigator noted in court, operatives seized $800 thousand in the safe deposit box of Sovcombank, registered in the name of the banker’s daughter.
As follows from the criminal case, with the active participation of Mr. Volovnik, at least 1.38 billion rubles were stolen from the bank, which were transferred, including abroad, through six shell companies. The investigation materials contain testimonies from the heads of various divisions of Fondservisbank, who revealed to the investigation in detail the theft scheme, the investigator emphasized when speaking in court. Insisting on the arrest of the banker, the representative of the investigation noted that, judging by the diary entries of the accused seized during the search, as well as the testimony of witnesses, the ex-owner of Fondservisbank tried to influence the course of the investigation and influence key witnesses in the case. It is curious that during the detention of the investigator’s speech during the searches, according to the investigator, for some reason the banker tried to call the Chief Rabbi of Russia Berel Lazar and the head of the Federation of Jewish Communities Alexander Boroda on his mobile phone, but to no avail.
A representative of the Prosecutor General's Office supported the investigation's request, emphasizing that due to theft, Roscosmos was "deprived of the opportunity to manage its foreign currency earnings, which were accumulated in the accounts of this bank." According to the prosecutor, the bank’s assets “do not cover a tenth or even a hundredth of what was lost,” and the actions of its former head led to the collapse of Fondservicebank itself.
For his part, Alexander Volovnik insisted on his complete innocence, and his defense proposed choosing a preventive measure for the banker in the form of house arrest. Lawyer Rustam Musaev emphasized that the financier has a seriously ill father in his care; during the entire investigation, Mr. Volovnik did not leave Moscow and did not make any attempts to put pressure on his former subordinates, “who actively cooperated with the investigation and gave testimony during the preliminary investigation.”
In addition, Mr. Musaev drew the court’s attention to the fact that the materials do not contain evidence of Mr. Volovnik’s intention to flee abroad. Judge Solopova looked through the folder in front of her and turned to the investigator for clarification, reminding him of the relevant norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the decisions of the plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. “This is what the operational data says,” said a representative of the investigation. “I saw them too,” the prosecutor supported him. However, the presiding officer was not satisfied with these explanations. “But I didn’t see it, and the decision to arrest me is up to me. Therefore, I ask you to provide the relevant documents,” concluded Ms. Solopova, announcing a break.
During this time, all the necessary documents were provided to the court, and Judge Solopova ultimately granted the petition, arresting the former owner of Fondservisbank for two months. Yesterday, the former first vice-president of the bank, Pyotr Ladonshchikov, was also arrested. He, unlike the former boss, fully admitted his guilt and is actively cooperating with the investigation.
So far there are two defendants in the case, however, according to sources, soon “two of those who are currently witnesses may change their status to suspects.” Most likely, the amount of damage caused in the case will also increase.

Employees of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption (GUEBiPK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation conducted a search at Fondservisbank OJSC, as well as a number of depositories and commercial organizations. The events were carried out as part of the case of illegal cashing and transfer abroad of over 100 billion rubles. The frauds were carried out under the guise of transactions for the purchase and sale of shares of leading Russian companies.
GUEBiPK operatives got on the trail of the attackers while carrying out the instructions of the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Viktor Zubkov, who is also the head of the interdepartmental commission for identifying illegal banking transactions. “The order also spoke about the need to decriminalize the financial market, for which at the end of last year we carried out a whole range of operational investigative measures,” said Andrey Pilipchuk, head of the GUEBiPK press service. “As a result, we managed to reach a group of people engaged in illegal cashing of funds and their withdrawal abroad under the guise of executing fictitious transactions with shares of leading Russian enterprises." Mr. Pilipchuk clarified that the search activities were carried out in cooperation with the “K” department of the economic security service of the FSB of the Russian Federation, and the total damage from the activities of the criminal group amounted to over 100 billion rubles.
At the moment, the charge is under Part 3 of Article 174-1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Legalization of funds by a group of persons”), Part 2 of Art. 172 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal banking activities") was brought against a Muscovite previously convicted of counterfeiting securities. Roman Nedyalkov, who is currently under house arrest. According to investigators, he was the organizer of a criminal scheme that allowed billions of rubles to be withdrawn from the country. Together with his accomplices, he registered a number of shell companies, primarily in offshore zones, on behalf of which accounts were opened in foreign banks. Then these companies executed fictitious transactions between themselves for the purchase and sale of shares of leading Russian companies. The funds allegedly paid in these transactions were deposited into the firms' accounts and later cashed out. The shares themselves were then sold on the stock exchange.
Investigators believe that several Moscow banks and depositories were involved in all these operations.
Yesterday, as part of the investigation into this case, a search was carried out at Fondservisbank OJSC, which, according to investigators, contained accounts of shell companies involved in cashing out money, as well as transferring it abroad. Also, during the search, operational information about the misuse of funds from state corporations that collaborated with Fondservicebank was simultaneously checked.
During the search, which lasted about an hour and a half, investigators seized part of the bank documentation, which will soon be sent for examination.
Law enforcement agencies reported that there are no defendants in the case yet, but investigators may make an appropriate procedural decision in the coming days after a detailed study of the seized documents.

What is Fondservisbank and who is Alexander Volovnik
The President of OJSC Fondservisbank is Mr. Volovnik A.D. (Volovnik Alexander Davidovich. (on the picture) Jew. Born 1961 Native of Tbilisi. Passport 45 04 No. 115782, issued on November 15, 2002 by the Fili-Davydkovo Department of Internal Affairs in Moscow. Registered: Moscow, st. Marshala Nedelina, 20, apt. 23. Graduated from Tbilisi State University and the Moscow Institute of International Business at the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade. In 1995, he headed the management company STK Soyuz. At the same time got along with Kiselev- RSPP, Mikhail Topalov - member of the Board of Fondservicebank, Koptev - chairman of the board of directors of Fondservicebank, former employee of Roscosmos).
Volovnik maintained close relations with the late Badri Patarkatsishvili. It was Patarkatsishvili (on the picture) brought Volovnik into contact with Nevzlin, Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Irakli Okruashvili (former head of the Georgian defense department), Temur Yakobashvili (Georgian Jew, Deputy Prime Minister of Georgia), Kakha Bendukidze, Givi Targamadze (head of the parliamentary committee on defense and security of Georgia), Irakli Managadze (National Bank of Georgia). An interesting fact is that Irakli Managadze is closely associated with EBRD President Jacques Lemierre.
It is impossible to list all the illegal cases that went through this bank in one article. Too many of them. We will focus on just a few. So to speak, a selection from pulp fiction.
According to the website fondservice.pcriot.com, about a hundred shell companies have been created at Fondservicebank for “illegal banking activities of disguise” and “large-scale criminal activities” - a list of them is even posted on the website. We don’t know whether this is true, but it’s hard to imagine an “inventor” who would invent a hundred companies with all the details...
Currently, something like a central raider system (CRS) has been created. Where is our colonel? - you ask. We will answer. He's also busy. And with money. With such active illegal activity, the bank would inevitably have problems with law enforcement agencies. It didn't happen right away. Still, our authorities are not as active as the criminal community. In the spring of 2008, an investigator of the Main Investigation Department at the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Moscow Region, as Novaya Gazeta writes, “as part of a criminal case, a search was carried out at Fondservisbank and very serious documents were seized, including from the safe of [the head of the security service of the FSB bank] Menyailov . And he is a paranoidly fearful person, and therefore recorded most of the conversations, including Volovnik’s conversations. The situation was quite difficult: the bank’s managers were hiding from Androsov. And the only way out of this situation was a bribe to a high-ranking law enforcement officer.
As far as I know, Volovnik brought 250 thousand dollars at that time to the colonel, acting as deputy head of the Investigative Committee at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuri Alekseev. I saw with my own eyes in the case materials Alekseev’s pleading letter to the head of the investigative department of the Moscow Region Central Internal Affairs Directorate. A letter of this nature: “Dear Ivan Ivanovich, I have received numerous complaints from Fondservisbank (what fright did they send to Alekseev?). You have seized a large number of documents, they do not belong to the criminal case materials, so please return them.” That is, it was not a written instruction in a criminal case - a purely pleading letter. For some reason, Alekseev’s request was fulfilled, and all the materials were returned.”
After this, the investigator was ordered to stop investigative actions against Fondservicebank OJSC.
Either a great friendship or a corrupt connection between Alekseev and Volovnik opened up new opportunities and boundless horizons for them in making a profit. Feeling such serious support from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the bank’s management began work on integrating raider groups around itself to collect information about unprotected objects of financial and economic activity (commercial and budgetary organizations) in order to carry out seizures. Alekseev, having connections in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the prosecutor's office, and courts, became for Volovnik a guarantor of security and a successful dubious business.
In addition, operating with huge funds, the Central Distribution Center places its people in government positions related to the distribution of budget funds (there are documents on the State Budgetary Institution “Housing and Communal Services” for the Northern Administrative District of Moscow, as well as on the demolition of “Rechnik” in the Closed Administrative District of Moscow) . An experienced bank manager, and simply a smart person, A.D. Volovnik. I understood perfectly well that without such a combat unit as the Investigative Committee, and indeed without high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it would be difficult to work in the field of the raider movement. And he was not mistaken.
Food for thought. In 1994, having rented a semi-basement room to create a small bank, young Volovnik decided to start conquering Moscow. Not possessing professional skills, but able to quickly navigate the situation, he realized that he could not do without a strong patron. And in 1996, he managed to break through the crowd of “petitioners” to the then-famous Badri Patarkatsishvili (they were united by origin - both were Jews and natives of Georgia). The meeting took place at the Logovaz reception house at the address: st. Novokuznetskaya, house 40.
The meeting was organized by Badri's relative, a certain Joseph Kay (on the picture), US citizen. Patarkatsishvili told Volovnik that he would not give money, but would help with connections. By and large, then neither Berezovsky nor Patarkatsishvili paid much attention to Volovnik, but he was noticed by someone “Alexander Mikhailovich” (real name Alexander Shulman, an Israeli).
"Alexander Mikhailovich" (on the picture) constantly stayed in the Logovaz reception house and looked out for the right people among high-ranking visitors. It is possible that friendly contact arose between “Alexander Mikhailovich” and Volovnik.
It is also possible that “Alexander Mikhailovich” introduced Volovnik into the circle of the space (including military-strategic), aviation and transport establishment. This probably explains Volovnik’s excessive interest in these areas. And here we return again to the topic of the CRS. This aspect is worth noting. The head of the Organizational and Inspectorate Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, V.A. Volynsky, may have also become close to the Alekseev-Volovnik group.
By the way, we quite seriously inform the reader that Volynsky V.A. nominated for the extraordinary rank of lieutenant general in connection with the 65th anniversary of the USSR victory over Nazi Germany. Represented by his patron - Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, General Smirny. In our opinion, this is blasphemy. Alas, in our country anything is possible. Let's see what the President decides.
We sincerely hope that in reality things are not as pessimistic as they depict. We hope and believe that unsavory agreements have not penetrated into all the places depicted in these diagrams. After all, hope, as they say, dies last.

In the case of the ex-president of Fondservisbank, experts find parallels with the executive director of Roscosmos Evdokimov
The recent April arrest of the ex-president of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik, was related to the investigation into the case of large-scale theft of Roscosmos funds from accounts in this bank. It is clear that Volovnik, although perhaps a swindler and an adventurer, is not a fool: the banker would not have soiled himself with the billions of the space department if he had not received the appropriate guarantees. And since there were such guarantees, it means there were high-ranking people who gave them to Volovnik. Therefore, the president of Fondservisbank went to the cell as a bearer of knowledge about the names of these people and their role in the illegal misappropriation of Roscosmos money. One such prisoner with the same dangerous knowledge has already served his time. We are talking about the executive director of Roscosmos, Vladimir Evdokimov, who, as investigators suspect, may have been assassinated in the capital’s pre-trial detention center No. 5. Let us recall: the former top manager was found with stab wounds in the toilet of his cell. According to media reports, Evdokimov’s death occurred at a time when he was considering starting to cooperate with the investigation. The consequence of Evdokimov’s excessive talkativeness and his sincere confessions could be criminal cases against a number of important people, including those from the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
Evdokimov’s body was found on the night of March 18 in the toilet of cell No. 600 with several stab wounds. The examination showed that the wound in the chest area of Evdokimov was very shallow (less than 2 cm). There are also several scratches on the neck next to the main wound on the carotid artery (which turned out to be fatal). The investigation opened a case under Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder), but does not hide the fact that this is a formality. When the fuss subsides, the incident may be considered a suicide: Evdokimov allegedly took his own life. But to what extent will such a decision correspond to the truth? To understand the situation, let’s talk about the balance of power around Evdokimov and who would have a hard time if he spoke.
The executive director for quality control and reliability of Roscosmos, Vladimir Evdokimov, was arrested in December 2016. He is accused of participating in fraud with the supply of equipment to the Russian Aircraft Corporation (RSC) MiG OJSC when he was deputy director of the department of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) OJSC in 2007-2009. As a result of replacing expensive components with cheap ones, the defendants in the case, according to the Investigative Committee, stole at least 200 million rubles.
In addition to Mr. Evdokimov, the case also involves the former director of JSC Scientific and Technical Center Alexander Zolin, the former general director of JSC MiG-Rost (a subsidiary of RSK MiG, liquidated in 2012) Alexey Ozerov and the ex-general director of JSC MiG-Rost, who fled from the investigation. Helicopter Service Company" Akim Noskov and his deputy Alexey Andreev. Messrs. Ozerov, Andreev and Mr. Noskov’s brother, Deputy General Director of PJSC Tupolev Egor Noskov, are involved in another high-profile case - the theft in the early 2000s of real estate that at that time belonged to RSK MiG.
All these people are closely connected with one person - the first vice-president of the UAC, Alexander Tulyakov. And Evdokimov, in general, was always considered Tulyakov’s most trusted person. Everyone knew: no matter what Evdokimov did, Tulyakov was behind it.
Tulyakov, in turn, also has a reliable rear. This is his close friend and supervisor - Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov. It is to Manturov that Tulyakov owes his “jumps” up the career ladder and a high-ranking position in the UAC. At one time, one of the special services joked that Tulyakov was Manturov’s right hand, and Evdokimov was the “glove” on this hand, which counts the money. Well, it’s not hard to guess about the role of the banker Volovnik yourself.
And so the “glove” ended up in a pre-trial detention center. Moreover, back in December, operatives did not hide the fact that Evdokimov’s arrest was carried out “with an eye” on Tulyakov, and maybe someone higher. Who knows where the “paths” of the investigation will lead. After his arrest, Evdokimov denied guilt, did not testify against anyone, and really hoped that his patrons would soon get him out. However, in February, after three months spent in the pre-trial detention center, a “turning point” occurred in Evdokimov’s behavior. He realized that no one would get him out, and in the event of further silence, it was he who would be recognized as the organizer of a scam for a gigantic sum. And accordingly he will receive the maximum sentence. According to sources, Evdokimov began to think about starting to cooperate with the investigation and discussed this possibility with operatives. A very specific threat hangs over Tulyakov and those to whom the “paths” of the investigation may lead.
And then the following happens. The top manager of Roscosmos was kept in cell No. 500, designed for four people. This is a kind of VIP camera equipped with a video surveillance system. And the same VIPs as Evdokimov were kept there. Then he is unexpectedly transferred to cell No. 600 for 12 people, among whom are not only people arrested for economic crimes, but also, for example, a man arrested for drug smuggling. There is no video surveillance system in the cell. And literally a short time after Evdokimov’s “transplant,” his corpse is found with stab wounds. None of the cellmates saw anything. Evdokimov will never speak again. And now the banker Volovnik, who is involved in the same Roscosmos case and also has similar knowledge, has been put in the vacated bunk in the pre-trial detention center.

Roscosmos money disappeared in the criminal community
As Kommersant learned, the Ministry of Internal Affairs suspected former leaders of Fondservisbank Alexander Volovnik and Pyotr Ladonshchikov of organizing a criminal community of a dozen people who stole, laundered or cashed out 6.5 billion rubles that belonged to Roscosmos. Nevertheless, by decision of the Moscow City Court, the ex-bankers, who served a year in a pre-trial detention center, were transferred to house arrest.
According to Kommersant, the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suspected the former president of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik, and the ex-president of the financial structure, Pyotr Ladonshchikov, of organizing a criminal community (Part 1 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Another 11 persons involved in the investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs may be charged with participation in an organized criminal group.
The court upheld the arrest of Alexander Volovnik, accused of embezzlement of Roscosmos funds, as legal.
The Moscow City Court called the arrest of the former head of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik, accused of embezzling funds from the Roscosmos state corporation, legal. “The decision of the Tverskoy Court of April 27 was left unchanged,” Interfax quotes a statement from the court’s press service.
Mr. Volovnik denies his guilt and involvement in the crimes. In turn, his former deputy Pyotr Ladonshchikov said that he admitted his guilt and was ready to cooperate with the investigation.
They tried to torture Alexander Volovnik
The police portrayed hostages to prevent the murder of the president of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik. The suspect, 30-year-old Ilya Kalashnikov, wanted to kidnap the financier, torture him into giving him about 800 million rubles, and then kill him. If successful, he promised to make the performers rich. As MK learned, in early August, police received information that a certain Ilya Kalashnikov, engaged in private legal practice, was looking for people to kidnap and murder the president of Fondservisbank, Alexander Volovnik.

100 billion rubles. transferred abroad through Fundservicebank
The Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped the activities of a group that illegally transferred more than 100 billion rubles abroad, Andrei Zdor, deputy head of the department’s main department of economic security and anti-corruption, said on Thursday. The group withdrew funds through transactions with shares of leading Russian companies; the sellers and buyers were offshore companies and shell companies controlled by the organizers. According to Zdor, the accounts of the organizations through which the bulk of the funds passed were registered with Fondservicebank. The representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recalled that searches were carried out in this case, including at Fondservisbank. The bank declared its non-involvement in the fraud.
Fondservisbank is known for the fact that in 2010 it hired Anna Chapman, who was convicted in the United States in the summer of illegal work for Russian intelligence, as a presidential adviser on investments and innovations.
Alexander Volovnik explained in detail the role of Fondservisbank in the implementation of the housing social program “Stimul”
Fondservisbank, along with the largest banks in Russia, became a participant in the “Program of Investments in Projects for the Construction of Affordable Housing and Mortgages in 2010 - 2012.” Its organizer is the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending (AHML).

I am forced to contact you directly by the events surrounding Fondservisbank OJSC, which I head, which risked, perhaps, being the first among Russian credit and financial organizations to openly oppose the practice of extortion and bribery that is still prevalent in the activities of various law enforcement agencies.

According to the leadership of Roscosmos, a series of impressive failures of Russia in space are explained by the insidious machinations of the Americans. One of the less patriotic versions says that the country’s space industry has rotted due to the total theft of public funds, which, among other things, occurs in the pocket bank of Roscosmos - Fondservisbank (FSB)

President of Fondservisbank Alexander Volovnik: “We have our own secret agency and an FSB license”
Fondservicebank has existed for more than 15 years, but until recently it was of little interest to the public. However, a month ago, an event occurred that made this medium-sized bank famous almost throughout the world: the famous intelligence officer Anna Chapman got a job there as an adviser to the president. In addition, Fondservisbank is actually an industry bank of the Russian defense industry. The president of Fondservicebank, Alexander Volovnik, spoke in an interview with Marker about how Fondservicebank interacts with Roscosmos and Rosoboronexport, why the bank needs an FSB license and the production of films.

Food for thought. The President of OJSC Fondservisbank is Mr. Volovnik A.D. (Volovnik Alexander Davidovich. Jew. Born 1961. Native of Tbilisi. Passport 45 04 No. 115782, issued on November 15, 2002 by the Fili-Davydkovo Department of Internal Affairs of Moscow. Registered: Moscow, Marshala Nedelina St., 20, quarter 23.

Volovnik maintained close relations with the late Badri Patarkatsishvili. It was Patarkatsishvili who brought Volovnik into contact with Nevzlin, Gusinsky, Berezovsky, Irakli Okruashvili (former head of the Georgian defense department), Temur Yakobashvili (Georgian Jew, Deputy Prime Minister of Georgia), Kakha Bendukidze, Givi Targamadze (head of the parliamentary committee on defense and security of Georgia ), Irakli Managadze (National Bank of Georgia).

The crisis of the Russian cosmonautics: the Americans have nothing to do with it. You need to steal less
Fondservisbank, or as people who understand it call it, the FSB, became known to the general public in the fall of 2010, when the unlucky “spy” and ex-subject of Elizabeth II, Anna Chapman, became an adviser to its president by order of Vladimir Putin. By the way, the monthly salary of the talented Mrs. Chapman at the bank is from 10 thousand euros, not counting bonuses and other pleasures of life.
The bank cannot be called big, on the other hand, it is not exactly tiny - it ranks 75th among Russian financial institutions in terms of net assets. But among the banks holding public funds, the FSB is already one of the top five: in terms of the size of holding government money, Fondservisbank at the end of 2010 was second only to such monsters as Sberbank, Bank of Moscow, VTB, having at that time 17.5 billion rubles of budget funds (ahead of Rosselkhozbank or Gazprombank

As Kommersant learned, the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has completed an investigation into the circumstances of the theft of 7.5 billion rubles. in Fondservisbank (FSB), whose main client for a long time was Roscosmos. 12 defendants, including former owner and head of the bank Alexander Volovnik and first vice-president Pyotr Ladonshchikov, are accused of organizing a criminal community and participating in it, as well as of particularly large-scale fraud. The accused themselves deny involvement in illegal operations, insisting that there were no criminal schemes for the withdrawal of assets at the bank, and those actions of the bankers, which the investigation considers criminal, corresponded to their official duties.
After the completion of investigative actions in the Fondservisbank case, the investigation materials amounted to about 200 volumes. The defendants in the case have been charged under especially serious Art. 210 (organization of a criminal community and participation in it using one’s official position), as well as under Part 4 of Art. 159 (fraud on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that one of the 12 defendants - former general director of the Capital Trust Company Soyuz and member of the board of directors of Fondservisbank Eduard Chesnov - is wanted and arrested by the court in absentia. According to the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which conducted the investigation, the damage from the activities of the organized crime group amounted to 7.5 billion rubles.
As Kommersant's sources note, the case file states that in May 2013, the owner and first president of the bank formed a criminal group whose goal was the “systematic theft of funds” from the FSB. In addition to bank employees, the creators of OPS, according to investigators, used LLC Capital Trust Company Soyuz, LLC, Automation of Business Processes LLC, Management Company FINSO LLC, controlled by them, as well as shell companies as a “tool for committing crimes” . At the same time, the case says, the criminal community was divided into several “separate groups” - according to the specialization of its members. Thus, employees of “Automation of Business Processes,” according to the investigation, looked for shell companies, prepared packages of documents necessary to draw up loan agreements for them, and then controlled the transfer of bank funds to the accounts of these companies “under the guise of completing civil transactions.” . After which they destroyed documentation about the activities of the creditors. At the same time, the group itself, as noted in the investigation materials, was also divided into divisions - legal, accounting and support department.
The group, which, according to investigators, was headed by the general director of STC Soyuz, Eduard Chesnov, was engaged in various financial transactions with funds stolen from the bank, management of property “acquired by criminal means,” as well as “accounting and distribution of criminal income” between participants in the fraud.
The division, which, according to the case materials, controlled the management of Management Company FINSO, not only ensured the preparation of documents for the theft of bank funds by issuing obviously bad loans, but also, according to the investigation, used this money to engage in various transactions on the securities market “in order to hide traces crimes."
Finally, the security group, which, according to detectives, was led by the head of the FSB resource protection department, ensured secrecy, drew up inspection reports and other documents “containing false information” in relations with shell companies to which FSB money was transferred. And the loan documents processing group was engaged, the case says, in “concealing the traces of systematic theft,” issuing positive opinions, professional judgments, etc., necessary to give the appearance of legality to the issuance of non-performing loans.
As a result, as follows from the case materials, members of the group, following the instructions of the owner of Fondservisbank Alexander Volovnik and the first vice-president of the bank Pyotr Ladonshchikov, found 31 shell companies to withdraw funds, with which from May 1, 2013 to February 24, 2015, the FSB 216 loan agreements were concluded. According to them, the bank transferred 6.7 billion rubles, which were then “not returned to the bank”: the money issued, according to the investigation, was “used by members of the criminal community at their own discretion.” Moreover, in November 2014, in the bank building (Butyrsky Val, 18), according to investigators, a scheme was drawn up to withdraw 800 million rubles. “by signing a fictitious contract” with Management Company FINSO, who were also kidnapped. Thus, the total amount of damage in the case amounted to 7.5 billion rubles.
It is worth noting that for ten years the FSB was the supporting bank for Roscosmos, which at that time held $800 million in its accounts. The bank served almost all the largest industry enterprises, salary projects and foreign currency accounts of Roscosmos. The FSB's problems began after in 2015, the new management of the state corporation demanded the return of funds placed in the bank, but in response they heard an offer to wait three years, since the money was invested in various projects. The then Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin (now the head of Roscosmos) said: “There were smart people (I won’t call them fools) who created various kinds of schemes in which the money earned by the country for space launches was either poured into the pocket of this space bosses, or in one jar that had nothing to do with state control.” And he added that “hundreds of millions of dollars earned by the country settled in this financial structure.”
The management of Roscosmos turned to the Central Bank with a request to look into the work of Fondservisbank. After an audit, which, according to the then deputy chairman of the Central Bank, Mikhail Sukhov, discovered “facts of significant overvaluation of assets,” the FSB fell under the reorganization program carried out by Novikombank. Roscosmos itself offered him as a sanatorium, agreeing at the same time to freeze part of its funds placed in Fondservisbank.
The defendants in the case do not admit guilt. They claim that all financial transactions carried out by the FSB were legal, and the investigation considers those actions that corresponded to the official duties of the accused to be criminal.
