RZB was an active participant in Laundromat in the summer of 2013. It was during this period that Igor Putin, Vladimir Putin’s cousin, was a member of the board of directors of RZB. According to the materials of the Laundromat case, the main shareholders of RZB, Alexander Grigoriev and Beslan Bulguchev, on June 30, 2013, attracted their bank to the Laundromat mega-laundry. In June 2012, these same shareholders took part in inviting Igor Putin to the bank, where he worked until November 2013. The Cheka-OGPU had the relevant supporting documents at its disposal. That is, when “dirty” billions were flowing through the RZB, Igor Putin was working at the bank. His name appears in documents and witness statements, but he was not questioned in the case.
