The Moscow Inter-Regional Transport Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee continues investigation of a criminal case against CEO of OAO Aviakompaniya Kontinent (OJSC) Vladimir Krasilnikov charged with crimes under part 4 of article 159 (swindling) and article 196 of the RF Criminal Code (deliberate bankruptcy). Two more cases are combined with this one which were also opened against Krasilnikov on the signs of crimes under part 4 of article 159 (swindling) and part 2 of article 201 of the RF Criminal Code (abuse of authority).
At present the work is under way to question people and recognize them as victims. As of end of June 2012, over 1,700 people have been questioned and recognized as victims. The sum damage to the mentioned individuals constitutes over 35 million rubles. The investigations department of several RF subjects are questioning and recognizing as victims another 1,500 people.
The damage caused by Krasilnikov’s actions directly to the airlines is being calculated. A large forensic and economic examination of activity of all legal entities owned by Krasilnikov is under way, it is not completed due to considerable amount of documents to be studied. Investigators have taken measures to secure a sentence over civil actions and other financial penalties, for this they arrested the property of legal entities controlled by Krasilnikov.
With that we explain that people have the right independently, not waiting for the sentence, appeal to the local courts with civil actions for damages in connection with non-fulfillment of provisions of agreement on passenger air transportation by OAO Aviakompaniya Kontinent which is in accordance with civil legislation liable for the mentioned passenger air transportation agreements. In case the courts satisfy such claims, the judicatory civil orders should be sent to the defendant’s (airlines) place of registration, that is to the Moscow Directorate of the Federal Bailiff Service.
