Search in St. Petersburg Valio office not connected with company’s activity

The Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee is investigating a criminal case over illegal banking involving a criminal society with a deputy of one of the districts in Dagestan as a member.

According to investigators, in 2011-2013 the criminal community ran illegal banking business and earned over 45 million rubles in several regions of Russia. During the probe it has been found that the members of the community disguising their scams as legal financial transactions transferred money to accounts of more than 20 companies, including those of Valio offices in Saint-Petersburg.

The search conducted by the investigators is aimed to get new evidence against the accused and has no relation to the company’s activity whatsoever.
