A black mark has appeared in the case of the theft of petroleum products worth 1.6 billion rubles from the Stavropol group of companies "Titan".
The Leninsky District Court of Stavropol arrested three former top managers of the company.
The defendants are suspected of stealing 200 million rubles as part of a general embezzlement case, writes RBC .
According to the investigation materials, the managers worked in conjunction with members of an organized criminal group.
Together they stole petroleum products worth a total of 1.6 billion rubles.
The leaders of the criminal group blackmailed the Sutyaginsky brothers, owners of the Titan Group, for more than ten years.
The members of the criminal group demanded a significant share in the business, threatening to provide incriminating evidence against the Sutyaginsky family.
In 2011, one of the brothers received demands for the transfer of property and money.
The criminals wanted to get $500 million or 47% of the company.
The Sutyaginsky brothers claimed that the incriminating evidence used for blackmail was falsified.
The court has already begun to consider the case against those arrested.
