Bazhanov Sergey Viktorovich

These nice people are Sergey Bazhanov and Tatiana Bazhanova, former owners of the International Bank of St. Petersburg. After the bank's license was revoked on October 31, 2018, the interim administration found out that the "hole" in its capital was 13 billion rubles and discovered the withdrawal of assets to offshore companies.

18 billion rubles of individuals and 22 billion rubles of organizations were suspended on accounts in the IBSP. Despite the fact that the interim administration of IBSP filed an application for the initiation of a criminal case at the beginning of 2019, a criminal case has not yet been initiated against them! Sergey Bazhanov himself wisely disappeared abroad.

If you have also suffered from the actions of these crooks, do not stay away! Write to us, together we will hold thieves accountable!

Ex-senator and owner of the International Bank of St. Petersburg Sergey Bazhanov is trying to ban the press and the Internet from calling him a lieutenant colonel of the FSB.

In the fall of 2018, the licence of the IBSP bank owned by Bazhanov was revoked by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, and then, later, the bank itself, at the request of the same Central Bank of the Russian Federation, was declared bankrupt by the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

About a year ago, St. Petersburg online publications Фонтанка.ру and 47news.ru published the unexpected information that Sergey Bazhanov is a lieutenant colonel of the FSB. These publications published as proof a photo of his military ID card, which shows that Bazhanov received his first rank in the then KGB of the USSR in 1987. The same photos show that Bazhanov received the last rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the FSB in 2003, being the owner of the IBSP.

In the future, judging by press publications, Bazhanov has left Russia and is now abroad, hiding from a criminal case initiated by the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the North-Western Federal District in connection with the discovery by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation of a "hole" in the capital of IBSP in the amount of 13 billion rubles, as well as signs of the withdrawal of the bank's assets abroad.

Now, a year after the publications, Bazhanov decided to get rid of the" toxic "prefix" Lieutenant Colonel of the FSB " abroad and appealed to the Smolninsky District Court of St. Petersburg with three statements, where the interested parties are indicated:

  • - the owner of the Internet resource Pikabu-M. S. Khryashchev (CASE No. 9-4400 / 2020 ~ M-3033/2020);
  • - Yandex LLC (CASE NO. 9-4456 / 2020 ~ M-3034/2020);
  • - Department of Roskomnadzor for the North-Western Federal District (CASE NO. 2-4461 / 2020 ~ M-2876/2020).

The first application was dismissed by the court, the second was returned to the applicant, and the third was finally accepted and scheduled for a hearing in September 2020.

Everything is fine in these cases! The fact that a banker with 30 years of experience in banking and an ex-senator was only able to submit an application for the third time, which was accepted by the court. The fact that the rank of lieutenant colonel of the FSB in the circumstances under consideration ceased to be a matter of pride for Bazhanov, and began to interfere with life abroad so much that it forced him to start lawsuits with Yandex and others! And of course, it is surprising that Bazhanov has never heard of the Barbara Streisand effect, which makes it impossible to conceal any information in the network and the press, since attempts to ban it tend to increase its spread.

The Investigative Committee for the North-West opened a criminal case on the falsification of financial statements at the collapsed International Bank of St. Petersburg. "Fontanka" knows that the application of the Deposit Insurance Agency for ten months wandered between the investigation of the police headquarters and the prosecutor's office of the city, and the Prosecutor General's Office quietly agreed.  

As it became known to our publication on December 25, about a week ago, a criminal case was opened in the Investigative Committee for the North-West under Article 172.1 of the Criminal Code – "Falsification of financial documents of accounting and reporting of a financial organization". It was initiated against unidentified persons from among the management and board of the International Bank of St. Petersburg( IBSP), from which the Central Bank revoked the licenseat the end of 2018, and in the fall of this year the arbitration court declared bankruptcy.

The intrigue lies in the following situation. After the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) entered the bank at the end of 2018, around February of this year, it sent a multi-page analysis of the financial condition of the IBSP to the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kolokoltsev.

From the review, it turned out that about 9 billion rubles were illegally withdrawn from the bank. From the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the materials went to the Main Investigation Department of the regional GU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where from spring to September 2019, the investigation tried to open a criminal case at least four times. And not a general investigation, but immediately in relation to the ex-senator, the actual owner and head of the board Sergey Bazhanov (the documents are at the disposal of the editorial board).

According to "Fontanka", the GSU on Ligovsky Prospekt printed a resolution on the initiation of proceedings under Article 201 of the Criminal Code – "Abuse of power" on four separate occasions. The same number of times the city prosecutor's office did not agree. Our publication knows that the investigators were advised to finalize, then finish with the defendant. In the end, it was not possible to interview him, because Sergey Bazhanov left for either London or Nice.

Fontanka understands that during this time, the DIA and the Central Bank, in general, understood everything that had been going on. Moreover, our publication added a conspiracy theory, saying that Sergey Bazhanov is a lieutenant colonel of the State Security Service. Then the Central Bank appealed to the Prosecutor General's Office for the Northwestern Federal District, which is on the English Embankment, who had a closer look. According to Fontanka, neither the GSU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs nor the Prosecutor's Office of St. Petersburg yet know the details.

Curious security officials and readers can get acquainted with them on 47news.

"Fontanka" advertises the military ticket of the owner of the "International Bank of St. Petersburg" Sergey Bazhanov. It follows from the document that the banker, who lives in London today after the revocation of the license by the Central Bank, has been serving in the State Security Service of Russia for 32 years.

According to 47news, the 64-year-old president of the International Bank of St. Petersburg, Sergey Bazhanov, has been a counterintelligence officer since October 1987. According to his military ticket, then he received the rank of captain of the State Security Committee of the USSR on the basis of the order of the deputy head of the KGB for the Ulyanovsk region.

It should be noted that the official biography of Sergey Bazhanov never mentioned the service in the authorities. As for the time period of the late 1980s, at that time he worked as the chairman of the Polytech trade union in Ulyanovsk, and then as the deputy director of the defense enterprise.

Still, the following assignments of the next military ranks to Sergey Bazhanov are more interesting. So, he became a major of the FSB of the Russian Federation in 1997, and a lieutenant colonel of the FSB in 2003. These orders were already signed by the heads of the FSB Department for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, when Sergey Bazhanov was actively engaged in banking activities. Also from 2008 to 2013, he was a member of the Federation Council from the Ulyanovsk region.

Recall that after the revocation of the license from IBSP at the end of 2018, the Central Bank filed claims against Sergey Bazhanov. He publicly rejected them.

Today Sergey Bazhanov is in London. He did not respond to Fontanka's text message asking about his role in the KGB-FSB bodies.

You can read about how many billions the Central Bank sees the withdrawal of assets from the "IBSP" and about the details of the invisible career of Sergey Bazhanov in the material of our colleagues on 47news.
