Moldovan businessman Vyacheslav Platon is suspected of withdrawing more than 48 billion rubles from Russia.
Previously, the investigation had already found him guilty in a case related to the withdrawal of 126 billion rubles.
It turned out that from 2013 to 2014, Platon, being the owner of JSC CB Moldindkonbank, coordinated the withdrawal of clients’ funds.
An international criminal community was involved in scams under the guise of currency transactions with Russian banks, the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Media reports.
More than 20 Russian credit institutions were involved in the criminal scheme.
Platon was charged in absentia with committing two crimes under Part 3 of Article 193.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The criminal case against him has been sent to court for consideration on the merits.
However, Vyacheslav Platon will not be present at the hearing in the Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow due to Moldova’s refusal to extradite him.
