In connection with the latest publications by Rucriminal.info regarding the "specifics" of the activities of the former deputy general director of the DIA Alexander Popelyukh, the DIA management has apparently decided to go on an "information offensive".

Kommersant published a complimentary interview with the general director of the DIA Andrey Melnikov entitled "Special attention - challenging dubious transactions".

Here is a quote from the interview: "The DIA pays special attention to challenging dubious transactions. In total, during the DIA's work, the courts have satisfied more than 7 thousand of the agency's applications to challenge dubious transactions of financial organizations. As a result of such work, more than 60 billion rubles were received into the bankruptcy estate of the LFO."

This thesis about the effectiveness of the work on challenging transactions smacks of healthy bureaucratic cynicism, since the uninformed reader does not know how many transactions in total should have been challenged by the DIA, and if some transactions were not challenged by the Agency, then for what reason.

However, these secrets are gradually coming to light thanks to the actions of the Agency itself.

What is the essence. Rucriminal.info explains.

The Agency files applications for bringing former bankrupt banks to subsidiary liability for almost every bankrupt bank. Within the framework of these applications, the Agency accuses the former owners of credit institutions of making transactions that caused damage to the Bank.

Such types of damaging transactions include situations when good assets (whose market value is high) leave the Bank, and bad assets come in their place, whose value is zero or close to it.

But at the same time, for some inexplicable reason, these transactions are not challenged by the Agency, although their value can reach from several million to several billion rubles. At present, the creditor of Ecoprombank has recognized the inaction, expressed in the failure to challenge transactions with the beneficiary of the Bank, oligarch Petr Kondrashev, as illegal.

The courts have already established that the DIA, for some unknown reason, did not challenge transactions that were detrimental to the financial institution.

Let us recall that the bank found itself in a state of bankruptcy after the revocation of its license in August 2014, the total amount of obligations to creditors amounted to more than 6.378 billion rubles. The Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a number of criminal cases on the theft of funds from Ecoprombank and abuse of authority by its managers. Most of the money went directly to Kondrashov.

This block of work has been supervised for many years by Andrey Kadushkin, who, despite such results, still remains in his place with his team and continues to supervise this area. The special piquancy is that now, within the framework of the bankruptcy cases of Ecoprombank, arbitration courts are considering the claims of creditors for direct recovery of damages from the Agency for the miscalculations in its work already established by the court.

If these amounts are recovered, the creditors of these banks will receive money from the Agency, and since the DIA is financed from the budget, the source of funds will be taxpayers' funds.

It turns out that citizens of the Russian Federation will be held responsible for the jambs in the work of the DIA, possibly intentional ones.

All this is a ready-made dish for initiating a criminal case against the heads of the DIA, or, at least, conducting an official investigation to ensure compliance with the position held.
