The investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee for the Kirov Region continue investigating a criminal case against 51-year-old former head of ZAO Trust Yamalstroigazdobycha Yuri Kintsler. He is suspected of crimes under part 2 of article 199.1 (failure to act as a tax agent committed on a very large scale), part 3 of article 145.1 (failure to pay wages), article 196 (deliberate bankruptcy) and article 199.2 of the RF Penal Code (concealing funds and assets of a company from enforced recovery of taxes and duties).

According to investigators, in November 2012, the firm was adjudged bankrupt while it owed its employees over 117 million rubles of wages. Moreover, the firm had around 75 million rubles debt of income tax. However, Kintsler hid about 600 million rubles in assets and funds of the company which could have paid the wages, taxes and duties. The number of victims exceeds a thousand people.

The suspect has been held and soon the investigators are going to request custodial restraint. The investigation is ongoing.
