The Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation approved the indictment in the criminal case on charges of Marina Illarionova of committing a crime under Part 2 of Art. 201 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of powers, entailing grave consequences).
According to the investigation, on June 29, 2009, the owner of the International Industrial Bank CJSC Sergei Pugachev initiated the conclusion of 120 loan agreements with legal entities that were not conducting financial activities for a total of over 64 billion rubles. Pugachev provided the bank in ensuring the execution of these agreements in the form of a pledge of a share of a foreign company belonging to him with a total value of more than 77 billion rubles. After the receipt of credit funds to the accounts of controlled organizations, Pugachev stole them. At the same time, he decided to withdraw from under the pledge of a bank bank in order to avoid their seizure against unfulfilled credit obligations. To do this, Pugachev gave the acting chairman of the Executive Directorate of MPB Illarionova, an indication to terminate the concluded pledge agreements.
Illarionova, acting on the instructions of Pugachev, contrary to the interests of MPB CJSC, being a person performing managerial functions in the specified commercial organization, using his official powers, without any legal grounds, signed the agreement on August 6, 2010, in accordance with which the bank terminated the contracts pledge of shares. This entailed the loss of MPB CJSC to ensure the execution of loan agreements and causing damage to the amount of over 64 billion rubles.
In May 2016, Illarionova disappeared from the investigation, in connection with which she was put on the wanted list. As a result of the search measures in September 2020, it was detained.
After the approval of the indictment, the criminal case was sent to the Tver District Court of Moscow for consideration on the merits.
Sergei Pugachev disappeared from the investigation, and therefore has been on the international wanted list since 2014.
