As the Cheka-OGPU learned, the Basmanny Court of Moscow yesterday arrested four new defendants in a criminal case regarding the theft of funds from the Russian International Bank (RMB, license revoked in September 2017). We are talking about the project manager of Mercury LLC Evgeniy Solovinsky, the general director of Project Management LLC Sergei Tyurin, the senior security guard of the Specifik private security company Yuri Boyarkin and the general director of Kartland LLC, Kartmed LLC and Motormash LLC Vladimir Medvedev. All four were charged with embezzlement on a particularly large scale.

Criminal case under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on an especially large scale), the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened on April 27, 2018, at the request of the Deposit Insurance Agency and the Bank of Russia in relation to the former owner of the RMB, and former musician Alexei Kurochkin. At that time, he had already been living in the United States for several years; the Tverskoy Court of Moscow arrested him in absentia in 2019. Until the last moment, Kurochkin remained the only person involved in this case.

On July 11, 2022, the Prosecutor General’s Office transferred the criminal case to the Investigative Committee for investigation. All new defendants were detained on October 24, at which time they were charged with embezzlement.
