the state control Committee of Belarus in the investigation of the case of Victor Bobrikova arrested the account of the wife of the Deputy head of the Russian Ministry of Finance Andrey Kruglov. About it on air of TV channel “Belarus 1” said the Deputy head of the Department of financial investigations of Committee of state control Dmitry Diaghilev. According to him, the BGB conducted the suspicious transaction to the contractors of “Gazprom”.
After the arrest of Victor Babariko the Chairman of the state control Committee (SCC) of Belarus Ivan Tertel announced that the banker was controlled by “puppeteers” of “Gazprom”. The plot of the TV channel argued that it was the former Deputy Chairman of “Gazprom”, and now Deputy Minister of Finance Andrey Kruglov and the former Director of “Stroygazconsulting” Stanislav Ageev.
in the Spring of 2018, the contractor of “Gazprom” company “stroygazconsulting” opened the scoring in the BGB. In turn, the Deputy Chairman of Belgazprombank Sergei Shaban personally went to meet with Andrei Kruglov in St. Petersburg, to “establish the movement of money.” As a result, for two years we have transferred $2.2 billion of These funds came from members of the “Gazprom” structures, and the very next day and returned back to Russia. The state control Committee believe that it was done for money laundering.
in addition, according to the SCC, especially for families Kruglov was created “an exclusive contract for placement of foreign exchange loan”. In the accounts of Andrey Kruglov was 8.5 million euros, but after he became Deputy Minister of Finance, it stopped working. Three million euros of his wife arrested.
To clarify all the circumstances, Belarus has applied for legal aid to Russia. However, the press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov has said that this case belongs to the competence of the Belarusian law enforcement agencies. He said that he knew nothing about the seizure of cash wife Kruglov.
the Essence of these allegations, “MK” explained economist Andrei Suzdaltsev
– All banks do the same thing. What in Belarus is called money laundering is the conversion of money. Also, banks have correspondent accounts, accounts for the accumulation of money, there is a huge variety of financial things. It all the same what to come to the digger and to show him that he forgot to put a shovel, not digging. In fact, Belgazprombank judged for what they worked with money.
the Second point. Foreign Bank has a relationship with its shareholders. Kruglov, you see, sitting in Moscow, and this fact suggests that he is an enemy. Interestingly, we do the Federal government have? That Babariko traveled to Moscow, is regarded as an absolute indication that he is almost a traitor.
the Belarusian authorities seized the BGB and pumped him money, because the money in the country mcan only be in the pocket of one person. The cell Bank was opened. The woman sold her apartment in Ukraine and wanted to buy property in Belarus – was gone. Everything stolen by a gang of criminals – the state control Committee of Belarus. Similar situation, more than 80 people and return of funds impossible. Now another 3 million euros will be taken from wife Kruglov. Incidentally, it was a loan, credit money, and thus a woman engaged in business. Often, when business leaders go into public service, and their wives begin to work in their firms because of in the know. This can be a family business.
I very much hope that Russia will take similar measures to the Belarusian property and accounts since 9 August.
