PETERSBURG, June 25. /TASS/. The provisional administration of the International Bank of St. Petersburg (IBSP), introduced after the revocation of its license by the Bank of Russia, demanded in court to recover from the members of the board of directors of the credit institution more than 84.1 million rubles, which they previously received as bonuses, follows from the ruling on the acceptance of the claim by the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
As noted in the document published on Tuesday, in the statement of claim, the administration demands to invalidate the orders of the chairman of the Board of IBSP from January to October 2018, according to which members of the board of directors of the bank Maxim Anishchenkov, Sergey and Tatyana Bazhanov, as well as Elena Skvortsova received bonuses totaling 84.1 million rubles and to recover this money from them in favor of the bank.
The ruling notes that the largest award for this period was received by the former senator and the main shareholder of IBSP Sergey Bazhanov - he was paid 36.1 million rubles. Bazhanova and Skvortsova were asked to return almost 12.2 million rubles, and Anishchenkov - 23.6 million rubles. The court accepted the statement of claim and will consider it at a meeting on July 2. "To appoint consideration of the application in the court session of the commercial court of the first instance for July 2, 2019," the court said in its ruling.
Last year, the Central Bank revoked the IBSP's license to operate, introduced a temporary administration of the bank, and then filed a lawsuit demanding that it be declared bankrupt. After that, as part of the bankruptcy case, the administration demanded to cancel the bank's transactions under loan agreements with a private company in the amount of 626.5 million rubles. In May of this year, the arbitration court of St. Petersburg refused to recognize these transactions as invalid to the provisional administration.
The Moscow Arbitration Court is also considering IBSP's counterclaims against the Bank of Russia, which demanded to cancel the regulator's decisions on the introduction of the temporary administration and revocation of the license. The next meeting on this issue will be held on July 9.
According to the Central Bank, in terms of assets as of October 1, 2018, the credit institution ranked 116th in the banking system of the Russian Federation. The total amount of insurance payments to IBSP depositors will amount to 16.5 billion rubles, a representative of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA) previously told TASS.
