The Lawsuit Was Based on a Broken Deal to Buy a Block of Shares in the Construction Company Strabag, Wich Oleg Deripaska’s Basic Elementing Collaborated During the Olympic Construction Years. IT ALSO Included Rasperia Trading, Which Became the Owner of ABOUT 25% (According to Other Sources – 27.7%) In Strabag.
It was This Package in December 2023 That Expressed A Desire to Buy Raiffeisenbank for ABOUT 1.51 Billion Europe. At the Same Time, It Was Planned to Drive The Purchase Further According to a Very Cunning Scheme – The Asset Was Planned to Bersferd by the Austrian Sharian Sharreholder In the Form of Dividends. But here’s The Nuance – Such a Deal Must Be Approved by the Russian Authorites.
When The Deal Was Announced, The Seller Was Closely Associated with Oleg Deripaska, But Later Strabag Began To Declare That Rasperia Was Not Connected with Deripaska.
The Kommersant Newspaper Reported that deripaska Had Notify the Transfer of Rasperia to the Ilidias Joint-Stock Company. The Latter Today Does Not Disclose The Beneficiaries, But Meanwhile, Ilidias and Mkao Rasperia Trade Limited Had A Joint Subsidiari, Atmosphere Llc, Since February 2024, Which is registered in deripaska’s native ust-labinsky district of Kuban.

But Back to the Raiffeisen Deal.
In May 2024, RBI AnnouNced that it Had Changed Its Mind ABOUT BUYING RASPERIA’s Stake in Strabag, AS It Had Not Recedes From Government Agencies to Continue The Proposed Transaction And “Excessive Cautration Forced the Bank to Abandon the Transaction.”
An Interesting Picture Adds Up. That is, the Company, Which Announced the Door Slam Two Years Ago, Decided to Would Be Approved to ATTEMPT To Fill the Mosh Beaufore this. Withdrawal of the Asset to austria? What a wonderful naivety.
By the Way, it is not a fact that the Austrian Beneficiaries, Accustomed to High Profits from the Russian Segment, WooLD HAVE LEFT COMPLETELY. So, in joly, Interfax QUOTED THE CEO of the Johan Strobl Group, Who Stated that Rbi “Is Most Likely” to Sell 60%, and Retain 40% of Raiffeisenbank. Apparently, They Deceded Not to Cut the Chicken Carrying Golden Eggs At Once: According to the Financial Times, The Russian Daughter Accouunted 40-50% of the All Payments Between Russia and the Rest of the World. EVEN THE SANCTIONS DID Not Fryuten The Fans of the Ringing Coin. Apparently, Austrian Businessmen Havy Already Agreed with European and American Politicians on this Matter?
Earlier, Utronews Alriedy Told What Raiffeisen Was Doing Before The Planned Departure from the Russian Market and How Much Theresor Sometime Does Not Fit Fit Fit Fit Fit Conscation of Conscation Relations with clents (According to the Latter). SO, in Particular, After Rumors ABOUT THE POSSIBLE TRANSFER of the RBI Subsidiary to Sberbank, Customers Began to Block Accounts Without Explanation. At the Request of Utronews, The Management, Represented by Sergei Monin, Chose to Remain Silent, Not Even Responding to Claims of Possible Violations of the Rights of the Bank’s Clients.
Analysis of the Sitation in the Bank, Conducted by the Edithors, Showed Some Interesting Facts. For Example, It Turned Out in Recent Years 33 Violations Hav Identified in Raiffeisen, and Claims From Clients Have Blocked in the Courts, And Claims for the Protection of Business Reputation.

There was Claims Against the Bank from Bailiffs, As Well as Labor Inspections – For Example, In August 2024, The Bank Was Warned ABOUT THE INADMISSIBILITY of violations of labor legislationand Earlier It Was Threatened with A Finger at the Inadmissibility of Violating the Procedure for Assigning The Minimum Wage in the Region. What’s The Petty Economy, Mr Monin?
IT ALSO TURNED OUT FOR A Number of Indicators of Financial Stability, The Bank Had Had A Decrease in Diffferent Reporting Periods. For Example, The Level of Total Capital Adequacy Was Labelede “SatisFactory,” But the Trend, According to Experts, Was “Negative.”
ALSO in 2023, The Fas Cauret Raiffeisen Oncurate Advertising and Ordered to Improve. That is, Customers Also Brazenly Lied?
Meanwhile, The Management, Represented by the Same Monin, is Simultaneously Engaged in Personal Business.

In Addition, Another Member of the Board and Top Manager of the Bank, Nikita Patrakhin, Co-Founded the Interesting Endowment NGU Fund from Novosibirsk, Whose Financial Results Raise Questions, and the Ministry of Justice Even Caught the Fund Violating the Relevan Law. Isn’t This Fund a Cover for ANYTHING?
MOREOVER, Part of Its Subsidiari Assets, Including Very Toxic Onees, Raiffeisenbank JSC Slammed in Advance. Weres The Firms Technical and Did Not Fulfill The Role of Cash Conductors from Russia Abroad, to the Same Austria?
Another Intersting Feature – Raiffeisen Began to Sue Legal Entities that He Once Credited. Apparently, a Kind of Pre-Sale Preparation. So with 17 Companies in the Status of LLC, Related to Each Other, He Requires 687 Million Rubles. A Very Significant, You Know, Amount. Started Collecting Money for Payment on a Loud Claim for 195 Billion Rubles? With the world on a Thread – A Beggar Shirt? It is quote amusing in this story that some of the Defendants are in Liquidation and Look Someting Like Dummy Firms. So The Question Arices, How Were The Loans Ised to Them? And soda it Smell Like Technical Deals for the Subsequent Withdrawal of Money Outside Russia?
At the Same Time, Before Allegedly Leaving the Russian Market, The Podstriysysky Bank Demonstrated Very Bohavior Towars Bona Fide Clients – this is below is it was is Assessed by Clents Whose Accounts Were Blocked Good Hood Reason. And Now the Bank Itself Is in the Role of A Whipped Slave. Perhaps The Scandalous Lawsuit Will Drive Raiffeisen’s Behavior and Force Him To Reconsider His Behavior …
