THE BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE IS MASSIVELY CHALLENGING THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE FORMER OWNERS TO WITHDRAW THE ASSETS OF THE IBSP
As already reported, in the decision of the Arbitration Court of the City of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region of October 3, 2019 The International Bank of St. Petersburg, owned by the ex-senator from the Ulyanovsk region Bazhanov Sergey (Bazhanov Sergey), was declared bankrupt and bankruptcy proceedings were opened against it for a period of one year. The functions of the bankruptcy trustee are assigned to the State Corporation "Deposit Insurance Agency".
Having studied the results of the interim administration's work on the management of the IBSP, the DIA predictably stated, that at the date of revocation of the license, 60% of the bank's total assets were accounted for by scheme financing with the participation of non-residents, presumably for the purpose of asset withdrawal. In particular, credit transactions were concluded between the Bank and a number of major international counterparties. In the future, the debt of counterparties was assigned to companies controlled by the Bank in the framework of fiduciary transactions, which allowed the Bank to distort the official statements. At the same time, the publicity and popularity in the market of most of these counterparties allowed the Bank to hide the actual debtors and their inherent risks.
As of October 22, 2019, the bankruptcy trustee of the Bank has already submitted claims of 1,847 applicants for a total amount of 22,829,031 thousand rubles. At the same time, according to the interim administration, as of the date of the opening of bankruptcy proceedings, the book value of IBSP assets, taking into account the exclusion of the amount of the created reserve for possible losses and depreciation of fixed assets, amounted to only 11,255,517 thousand rubles. This is despite the fact that than 220 million rubles have already been spent on the maintenance of the bank after the revocation of the license.

About 9 billion rubles from the bankrupt International Bank of St. Petersburg were found in the Cyprus firm Hervet Investments, which was owned by Alexander Zuev. This is the brother of the wife of the main shareholder of IBSP and Senator Sergey Bazhanov. Zuev has already been interrogated by "neighbors on the side" in both Cyprus and Russia.
Now Zuev cannot dispose of the money because of Bazhanov, who himself wrote a statement to the police against him.
Before revoking the license, Bazhanov withdrew money from the IBSP through a scheme with UBS. IBSP with the participation of UBS bought securities for 135 million euros — about 9 billion rubles, and the money went to the Cyprus firm Hervet Investments.
On four occasions, the investigators sent a resolution to open a criminal case against Bazhanov for abuse of power and fraud. But the prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg did not coordinate this decision. Meanwhile, Bazhanov left for London.
We will keep our eye on this, do not change the channel!- Details

The real drama unfolded around the obscure Cyprus firm Hervet Investments: untold wealth, deceit, family ties and deceived trust. The family of Sergei Bazhanov, the owner of the International Bank of St. Petersburg, seems to have an idea about where the 9 billion rubles written off from his accounts have gone.
In the police station in Cyprus, Nicosia, St. Petersburg resident Alexander Zuev came to tell the whole story. Before that, he had already had to give explanations to people in uniform, but only at home and on their initiative. Our investigators were interested in the fate of the missing money from the International Bank of St. Petersburg, and Alexander Zuev told the Cypriots on September 25 the details of his family relations.
These are links in the same chain, because Alexander Zuev is the brother of Tatyana Bazhanova, the wife of the main owner of the bank, Sergey Bazhanov. At the same time, he is the nominal owner of the company, whose accounts — in the opinion of layman — could well be 135 million euros. Recorded on paper, his story by a Cypriot police officer draws on a family drama with elements of a financial novel in the style of Theodore Dreiser. The banker's brother-in-law complains that as a result of a chain of transactions, Sergey Bazhanov framed him, taking advantage of trust, and now Zuev cannot dispose of the company that belongs to him.
Fontanka managed not only to get acquainted with this document, but also to communicate with Alexander Zuev himself and even get comments on this complicated story from Sergey Bazhanov. To be honest: it didn't make the story any clearer.

The Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region granted the application of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to declare the International Bank of St. Petersburg (IBSP) bankrupt, the court told RAPSI. Earlier, IBSP filed an application to the court to invalidate the bonus transactions of four former bank managers in the amount of more than 85 million rubles.
The interim administration for the management of the credit institution asks the court to apply the consequences of the invalidity of the transactions in the form of the recovery of this amount from the former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the bank, Sergey Bazhanov, a member of the Board of Directors Tatyana Bazhanova, a member of the Board of Directors of IBSP Maxim Anishchenkov and Elena Skvortsova.
In mid-October 2018, the Central Bank appointed a temporary administration to the IBSP due to the unstable financial situation of the bank, and also imposed a moratorium on meeting the claims of its creditors, which instead of taking three months lasted only about two weeks: on October 31, the bank's license was revoked. In mid-December, it became known that the IBSP had challenged the Central Bank's order to revoke the license in court. The interim administration of the IBSP during the survey found that its officials carried out operations with signs of asset withdrawal by transferring the bank's claims against a number of counterparties to its shareholder who does not have the ability to fulfill its obligations. Earlier, the Central Bank has already been informed about the identification in the actions of officials of the IBSP of signs of operations aimed at withdrawing the bank's assets by transferring the rights of claim to a number of counterparties to its shareholder, as well as by acquiring illiquid assets. The Central Bank sent information about the financial transactions of former bank officials with signs of criminal acts to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
