It was during this period that Igor Putin, a cousin of Vladimir Putin, was a member of the board of directors of RZB.

That is, when "dirty" billions were flowing through the RZS, Igor Putin worked in a bank. His surname "flashes" in the testimony of witnesses, but he was not interrogated in the case.
