Former deputy of Omsk city deputies council wanted and detained in Estonia to be brought in Russia soon to be prosecuted for crimes

The investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee for the Omsk Region are investigating a criminal case against former deputy of Omsk city deputies council Alexander Dmitriyev charged with crimes under part 4 of article 159 of the RF Penal Code (fraud on an especially large scale) and part 1 of article 201 (abuse of authority).

According to investigators, in 2007-2009, director of Omsk branch of commercial joint stock bank AK Bars Bank Dmitriyev found citizens and used forged documents to make on their names over 100 mortgage loan agreements worth in total over 350 million rubles, meant for having been invested in building a block of flats on the crossroads of Volkhovstroya street and Pervaya Severnaya street in Omsk. For making the agreements the citizens received a fee between 1 and 10 thousand rubles each. Moreover, he involved in receiving loan money his assistants in deputy’s activity, who were nominal directors of commercial organizations controlled by Dmitriyev, on whom he also made loans of a total of 80 million rubles. Later on Dmitriyev’s order the money were spent not on the building of the block of flats, but transferred to outside and affiliated companies, as well as spent on his own needs, including buying expensive things like cars, boats and a plane.

During the investigation Dmitriyev escaped from law enforcement bodies. He was put on a wanted list in March 2011. In January 2013, he was apprehended in Estonia. According to the Interpol, Dmitriyev, whom the court ruled to place in custody, will be transported in Moscow on 27 June 2014 for being prosecuted by the Omsk Region investigating bodies.
