In Moscow Former president of International Industrial Bank executive board Alexander Didenko gets suspended sentence for embezzlement

A court has recognized the evidence presented by the Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee sufficient to convict former President of the executive board of ZAO International Industrial Bank Alexander Didenko. He was found guilty of a crime under part 4 of article 160 of the RF Penal Code (misappropriation).

According to the investigators, in 2008-2009, an organized group which included among the others President of executive board of the International Industrial Bank Alexander Didienko (at present manager of Krasnaya Presnya office of Sberbank of Russia) and GM of ZAO OPK Development Dmitry Amunts (at present deputy head of the Federal Agency for Tourism) stole from the International Industrial Bank over 28 billion rubles.

The case against Didenko was severed to form a separate proceeding. He actively cooperated with the investigators and made a deal. It should be noted that Didenko’s cooperation allowed the investigators to get the evidence of the said crime committed by Sergey Pugachev and Dmitry Amunts, but to reveal another crime committed by Pugachev which caused the International Industrial Bank damage of 64 billion rubles.

The court has given Didenko a 3-year suspended sentence.

At the present time the case against Amunts is about to be finished.

Pugachev is wanted. A court ruled to place him in custody in absentia. The investigation against him is ongoing.
