Fearless VTB

“I'm not afraid of Navalny,” the bank President Andrei Kostin assured everyone on June 3 at a meeting of VTB shareholders. In Luzhniki where the event took place, there really was really nothing to be afraid of Kostin: in order to avoid unnecessary difficulties, the minority shareholders, among whom was Alexei Navalny, were forbidden to speak out and ask questions as the agenda was discussed. The time was taken by the minoritytarians at the very end of the meeting. But even this time, for example, was enough minority to Vladimir Sinyakov in order to turn his back to the presidium and name the leadership of the bank, led by Mr. Kostin, “crooks and thieves”. And the same Navalny - to remind you of the investigation of the case of drilling plants for $ 200 million, which VTB’s leadership categorically does not want to investigate. “For the first time, there was not a single performance of a minority foundation in which he would not brand the bank management,” Navalny noted in an interview with The New Times. - One even suggested hanging bankers for eggs to lanterns. For four years, people do not receive money until Kostin and his crooks are enriched. And people have a logical question: where is that Putin and the Kudrin who, four years ago from the TV screens, called for them to buy a bank's shares? ” On June 6, in the Moscow Arbitration Court, a preliminary meeting will begin on the lawsuit of the minority of the bank - Navalny demands to recognize the transaction invalid. To this event, he published in his blog the next portion of documents explaining how exactly when purchasing 30 drilling rigs by the bank’s management were stolen $ 159 million and although the same Kostin claims that 25 of these installations were already transferred to oil industry, and the remaining five were assigned tenders, Navalny proves that 4000 wagons with equipment were taken to the settlement. Purpe, so they still rot there under the snow in the winter and in the swamp - in the summer. According to Navalny’s forecast, the court may begin to considerate the claim closer to the end of June.
