Let us remind you that the criminal case revolves around several billion rubles stolen at the last moment before the license was revoked from Interkommerts Bank. Most of them were sent under fictitious agreements for the purchase of currency to the Hong Kong company Turinvest, which Anton Filatov, on the orders and under the control of his supervisor Timur Ivanov, had previously used for fraud with the purchase of ferries for the Ministry of Defense for Kerch, bypassing international sanctions. The company belonged to the nominee of the Ministry of Defense, German citizen Felix Neuberg.
Two years after the initiation of a criminal case against banker Alexander Bugaevsky, materials on embezzlement against this same German and Anton Filatov were separated into separate proceedings. Both defendants were arrested, the case was investigated by the current General Pavel Goryachev, but as soon as there was a threat that the testimony of accomplices would lead to the real beneficiaries of the scheme, Timur Ivanov’s patrons very quickly intervened in the case.
The accused were first transferred to house arrest, and then completely released when the case was sent for further investigation. Felix Neuberg first bought a plane ticket and flew home, and Anton Filatov remained under the guarantee of immunity from Timur Ivanov. With the latter’s imprisonment, the immunity of the former head of Oboronlogistics was revoked and now he is expected to testify, at least against his former boss.
