In Omsk criminal investigation finished against former deputy of city council of deputies charged with fraud

The Omsk Region investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee have finished investigating a criminal case against former deputy of Omsk city council of deputies Alexander Dmitrieyv charged with 86 counts of a crime under part 4 of article 159 of the RF Penal Code (fraud on a very large scale).

According to investigators, in 2009, director of Omsk branch of commercial joint stock bank AK Bars Bank Dmitriyev using his authority to get benefits for himself and affiliated people, found citizens and used forged documents to make on their names over 100 mortgage loan agreements worth in total over 300 million rubles, meant for having been invested in building of 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 jet.

It should be noted that during the investigation Dmitriyev escaped from law enforcement bodies and was put on an international wanted list. In January 2013, he was apprehended in Estonia and extradited to Russia in June 2014. During the investigation Dmitriyev admitted his guilt and filed a request on special proceedings.

At present Dmitriyev is studying all 77 volumes of the case. Soon after the investigators make an indictment, the criminal case will be forwarded for the indictment to be approved and then will be sent to court to be tried on the merits.
