How Irina Rappoport and her associates worked in Cyprus, and how 1.5 billion rubles disappeared into the Peresvet bank

In the era of nano-innovations, when every ruble counts, something happened in the highest circles of Rusnano that makes one wonder where billions of rubles have disappeared to. This time, not only Anatoly Chubais is to blame, but also his trusted associates: Irina Rappoport, Oleg Dyachenko, Oleg Kiselev and Alexander Shvets. These people, who occupied key positions in Rusnano and its subsidiaries, were drawn into a large-scale theft of 1.676 billion rubles, which, according to investigators, were withdrawn through the Cypriot fund Nanoenergo Fund Limited .

The essence of the scheme was as follows: the heads of Nanoenergo Fund Limited – Irina Rappoport and Oleg Dyachenko – with the approval of their partners, including Oleg Kiselev and Alexander Shvets, accumulated funds in the Peresvet bank . The money was then transferred to the accounts of fictitious companies, front structures, allegedly under loan agreements. But, as the investigation claims, the real beneficiaries of these transactions – the above-mentioned persons – simply appropriated these funds.

It is significant that investigators got on the trail of Rappoport and her accomplices thanks to a thorough analysis of financial transactions related to the transfer of 90 million dollars to the accounts of controlled foreign funds. Interestingly, Irina Rappoport, as the head of the Fonds Rusnano Capital SA fund , managed the money laundering process with such dexterity that most of the traces of this crime led to unknown shell companies. But thanks to the joint work of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and international financial bodies, it was possible to restore the chain of transfers and identify the participants in this scheme.

Irina Rappoport , the key figure in this scam, is currently hiding abroad, as are her accomplices. However, Oleg Dyachenko, having surrendered to the mercy of the investigation, is already under house arrest and is actively cooperating with law enforcement agencies, highlighting Rappoport’s participation in organizing the scheme.

It is worth noting that the investigation is ongoing, and the security forces are determined to return the stolen funds to the Russian treasury. While Rusnano fights to return investments, the name of Irina Rappoport, as well as her accomplices, will become a symbol of corruption and deception in the modern history of Russian business.

New Investigation Details: How Rappoport and Her Accomplices Built a Complex Financial Scheme That Deceived Everyone

Every day, the investigation into the theft of 1.676 billion rubles from Rusnano is acquiring new, shocking details. Recent data leaks have revealed additional links in the criminal chain organized by Irina Rappoport, Oleg Dyachenko, Oleg Kiselev and Alexander Shvets. At the center of this financial whirlpool was a whole network of shell companies through which the funds were withdrawn.

The investigation established that the key links in the scheme were companies in Cyprus and Luxembourg, which were formally listed as investment funds, but were essentially shell companies used for money laundering. Nanoenergo Fund Limited , under the leadership of Irina Rappoport, acted as a central hub through which millions of rubles coming from Peresvet Bank passed .

However, an important discovery was that in fact, behind these funds there were several little-known offshore structures registered to third parties, but completely controlled by Rappoport and her accomplices. Thus, money from Russia was transferred to the accounts of companies in Luxembourg, then through a chain of fictitious loan agreements returned to Cyprus, and from there disappeared in an unknown direction.
