The results of the investigation are interesting because the main victim is considered to be the “star” of domestic and overseas hockey, Alexander Radulov. He has now signed a contract with Ak Bars Kazan, previously played for CSKA and most recently in the NHL for Dallas.
Radulov suffered damage in the amount of 1.5 billion rubles. At one time, the hockey master was friends with the chairman of the board of directors of Trans, Sergei Kononov. He convinced the athlete to open an account in the mentioned bank. This is where the salary of the famous hockey player came.

But he couldn’t manage the money. In the fall of 2018, the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Northern District of Moscow opened a criminal case for fraud on an especially large scale.

What remains to be recovered from Kononov is “only” a little more than 200 million rubles.
