The court sentenced in absentia the ex-head of Rosalkogolregulirovanie to 12 years in a penal colony.

The Tagansky Court of Moscow found Igor Chuyan, the former head of Rosalkogolregulirovanie, guilty in absentia in the case of embezzlement of more than 33 billion rubles and sentenced him to 12 years in prison in a general regime colony. This was announced on March 13 by a correspondent of Izvestia from the courtroom.

At the previous hearing on March 10, the prosecutor requested 14 years in a general regime penal colony for Chuyan. The investigation also requested a fine of 33.1 million rubles.

According to investigators, in 2013-2018, the beneficiary of OFK-bank Chuyan, together with the former president of the credit institution, Nikolai Gordeev, organized the issuance of 115 deliberately non-repayable loans. The funds were transferred to the accounts of one-day firms controlled by the businessman's structures.

The investigation also believes that in 2016-2017, funds were withdrawn from the bank's accounts under fictitious agreements on assignment of claims.
