Let us recall that in 2011, Kulagin headed the Gorod Bank, and in November 2015, the Central Bank revoked the Bank’s license due to numerous violations. By that time, almost all assets in the amount of 10.5 billion rubles had been withdrawn from the bank, and the leadership of the credit institution was involved in conducting dubious transit transactions in large volumes.
In essence, the business of Kulagin and his accomplices was simple: they were engaged in cashing out the money of serious people at divine interest. But one day they took on quite a large sum of money and disappeared with it.
Now the case is approaching consideration on the merits in court, but Kulagin does not lose hope, having corrupted the court or the prosecutor’s office, to receive a suspended sentence, or even get out of the pre-trial detention center, as he already did once. And for this, Kulagin has new opportunities.
Upon completion of familiarization with the materials of the criminal case, the investigation sends the indictment to the supervising prosecutor’s office (in the case of S.M. Kulagin, this is the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, since the case was investigated by the Federal Investigative Committee).
The Prosecutor General’s Office may approve the indictment (in which case the case is sent to court), or it may not approve it (then, depending on the instructions of the prosecutor’s office, the preliminary investigation is most often resumed). And then the maximum period of detention may expire (Article 109 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation), which will allow Kulagin to be released under signature, but after that it will not be difficult to ruin the case. It is at the stage of sending the case to the prosecutor’s office that one can often observe a corruption component when the prosecutor’s office makes decisions.
But if the case goes to court, the corruption component is usually present at the trial stage, as a result of which the case may leave the court after the hearing for pre-investigation, or the defendants may receive light suspended sentences and, in extreme cases, an acquittal.
10.5 billion rubles missing from the city bank. Kulagin and the company have enough to use all possible levers to minimize the consequences of their fraud.
However, to the loss of 10.5 billion rubles. money from creditors and the story of the deliberate bankruptcy of the Gorod Bank, Kulagin may have another story of artificial bankruptcy with a whole bunch of articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, including liability for counterfeiting.
We are talking about the bankruptcy of the Option-TM company controlled by Kulagin. The amount of its debts is over 2.6 billion rubles, of which more than half is about 1.4 billion rubles. relates to a purchase and sale agreement for investment gold coins with a certain Ruscapital. In fact, Kulagin and the company are deliberately bankrupting Option-TM through the Ruscapital company.
It’s just that from the rights of claim of “Ruscapital”, which arise from the contract for the sale and purchase of investment gold coins, a whole set of articles of the criminal code also follows: Article 186 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Manufacture, storage, transportation or sale of counterfeit money or securities”, Article 193.1 Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Completing currency transactions for the transfer of funds in foreign currency or the currency of the Russian Federation to the accounts of non-residents using forged documents, well, and Article 196 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Intentional bankruptcy”.
The fact is that Kulagin is trying to bankrupt his Option-TM with the help of forged documents on the creation of a fictitious debt associated with the sale of non-existent investment gold coins, which in fact is counterfeiting.
And all this is started only to avoid repaying debts to real creditors.
It seems that this time too the swindler will be able to leave law enforcement officers high and dry. Will corrupt judges really be able to disgrace the honor of the police uniform again? @banksta
