Owners and managers of banks, insurance companies and private pension funds, which recently went bankrupt, I propose to restrict travel outside of the country. This bill deputies of the state Duma plan to consider at a meeting in the spring session.
Today unscrupulous executives and managers of credit and non-credit financial institutions often withdraw assets abroad before the bankruptcy. And then they themselves leave the country, having stolen from customers ‘ money. The procedure established by the current legislation do not allow to restrict exit from the country’s citizens, yet they are not suspects.
Often, the resulting temporal gap, the fraudsters have enough to walk away from criminal and financial liability noted in the explanatory note to the bill. Therefore, the authors propose a new mechanism to counter such a scheme. It will look like the following.
The Bank of Russia can apply for that in the bankruptcy process of any organization — Bank, insurance companies, private pension Fund — may have occurred financial fraud. On the basis of this statement, the court can restrict exit from the country of the owners or leaders of the organization even before they officially will be declared suspected of committing financial crimes.
As noted in the explanatory Memorandum to the bill, the decision of the court will be subject to immediate execution. And the constraint itself may not be more than six months.
