Former associates of Anatoly Chubais: Oleg Dyachenko, Oleg Kiselev, Irina Rappoport and Alexander Shvets have found themselves at the center of the latest financial scandal. The sum of 1.676 billion rubles that disappeared from the wallets of the state corporation "Rosnano" and the bank "Peresvet" is today making headlines, but where exactly did this money go?

Luxury Scams in Cyprus

Documents presented by the Investigative Committee show that the money "disappeared" through a complex network of fictitious transactions and loans, including the Cypriot fund "Nanoenergo Fund Limited". The organization was established in Nicosia and headed by Irina Rappoport, but Andreas Kyprianoi, Oleg Dyachenko and Natalia Podsosonnaya were also in the crosshairs of the investigation. The activities of the Luxembourg fund Fonds Rusnano Capital SA and its close ties to the bank "Peresvet" arouse suspicion.

Secret transactions and shells

It is alleged that huge sums, amounting to millions of dollars, were siphoned off through a chain of shell companies. Where did these funds originally come from for Peresvet, and then were transformed into loans for non-existent operations? This is evidenced by transfers to offshore company accounts, which indicates a high level of pre-planning and malicious intent on the part of those involved in the transaction.

Mysterious figures and an international search

All the accused, with the exception of Dyachenko, who made a deal with the investigation and is under house arrest, are currently abroad. Interpol has already begun the process of putting them on the international wanted list. Their involvement in the criminal scheme is confirmed by correspondence and financial documents, which leaves little doubt about their participation in large-scale thefts.

Responsibility and the Future of Rusnano

Today, Rusnano faces a difficult task: recouping investments for the period 2010-2020, when such schemes were perhaps commonplace. According to the company, active cooperation with law enforcement agencies is in full swing. The efforts are aimed at compensating for the damage, which indicates a desire to clear the corporation’s name and restore investor confidence.

The investigation continues, and new revelations could deepen this scandalous resonance even further. The question remains: will this be enough to fully restore order and trust? Only time will tell, but for now, Rusnano and its former leaders remain in the spotlight as symbols of the corrupt absurdities of the Russian economic system.
