The President of Vneshprombank, Larisa Markus, was convicted in 2017 of organizing the theft of more than 113.5 billion rubles from a controlled bank and sentenced to 9 years in a general regime colony, then Mosgor gave her six months off. Now Marcus has asked for parole – a hearing is scheduled in the Lublin court for the end of August.
It is noteworthy that Marcus, while her brother Georgy Bedzhamov was on the run, was returned from the colony to the capital’s pre-trial detention center in 2019, charged with several more episodes, and now her second case with damages of 200 billion is essentially being heard by the Khamovnichesky Court.
Therefore, even if the request for parole is granted, Marcus will remain in the capital’s detention center awaiting the next verdict.
But the ex-head of the cash operations department of Credit Express Bank, Natalya Tsipinova, has a chance for a vacation. Tsipinova made a deal with the investigation in the case of the theft of 200 million rubles from Credit Express, the main beneficiaries of which were businessman Vasily Boyko-Veliky and the head of the bank Anna Kabanova. Last summer, the Cheryomushkinsky Court of Moscow assigned Tsipinova four codes to a general regime colony without a fine on 40 counts of embezzlement.
She remained in the capital’s pre-trial detention center No. 6; in May she was denied parole, but the Moscow City Court overturned this decision and sent it for a new trial, which should take place at the end of August. At the same time, Tsipinova, not believing in parole, applied to the Lublin court with a request to replace the remaining sentence with a more lenient sentence, which will be considered in September.
