It turned out that the banker’s wife, Elena Levina, was bankrupting the joint-stock company Terminal Premier, which owns a large logistics center in the Moscow region. The company allegedly owes Ms. Levina more than 5 million euros.
In fact, Elena Levina acquired the right to claim the specified amount from the famous Bulgarian fraudster Stoyan Staikov (the same one who was previously noted in Russia for bringing Investbank to bankruptcy, when about 90 thousand depositors lost their funds).
In turn, Staykov received this “right” in his characteristic fraudulent way: having gained the trust of a business owner living in Austria, the Bulgarian committed a series of financial frauds, which led to the formation of an imaginary debt.
But what can connect the well-known swindler Staikov in Eastern Europe with the vice-president of Gazprombank Dmitry Levin, and how did the right of claim, acquired through criminal means, pass to the banker’s wife?
We will cover this complicated story with the failed purchase of a bank in Bulgaria, with trusts in Liechtenstein and bankruptcy in Austria in the coming days.
