The former owner of the bankrupt "Delta Bank" Mykola Lagun found a Russian passport. The scancopy of the document was published by Brief. It follows from the document that the ex-Bankir has a document on citizenship of the aggressor country since 2014. The passport was issued in the Crimea.
The editorial staff was a scanning of the Russian passport of Mykola Lagun. The document has a series 39 14, number 043237, unit code-910-004. According to the codes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, this is in line with the Federal Migration Service in the railway district of Simferopol, which was formed after the occupation for "documentation" of new "citizens". This means that at the time of the lagoon was not only accessed to the infrastructure of the Russian migration system in the Crimea, but also an awareness of how to take advantage of its capabilities. A careful reader will noticate that the series 39 does not have official transcript in the list of regions. The fact is that passports with such series can be issued in any region when forms with "local" series are closed, the material says.
The publication notes that in December 2014, the demand for passports in the Crimea was large, and to print "Crimean" forms was not in a hurry (after the occupation was not then, the peninsula was more than uncertain) - such "reserve" workpieces intended for other regions were used. “The passport document is visually real, contains all the provided protective elements, has a signature, hologram and machine -readable zone. According to its code, the date of birth of the owner - February 16, 1973, place of birth - Chernihiv region, Semeniv district, Zhadovoy village, Ukrainian SSR.
The authors suggest that Russia's passport needs a lagoon for several reasons. "Russia apparently ceased to be a country that would give its citizens to Ukraine at the request of extradition even in the presence of an international warrant. Therefore, citizenship was" good investment in security. "Only a few years ago law enforcement agencies and state banks were able to calculate the total amount of losses caused by lagoon.
The second is the opportunity to live a relatively free life without debt. "From 2022, Lagun, now announced in the national and international wanted list, is hiding in Vienna. From there, it is on the court sessions on its debts to the state of Ukraine. And from there it gives instructions to its lawyers in the bankruptcy case as a natural person. The situation.
The third factor is the legal protection of Lagun's assets in the Crimea in accordance with Russian legislation. These are land on the southern coast of Crimea ; construction companies registered in Simferopol and Yalta; objects of tourist real estate in Alushta; unit participation in LCDs, hotels and restaurants; Access to local infrastructure facilities, including water supply and heating networks. "Now some are copied on pounds, part of the former National Bank's relatives Sergei Arbuzov - but it may well be a payment for the opportunity to plunder one of the largest financial institutions in the days of Viktor Yanukovych," the material reads.
"In fact, this means that the Lagun-a citizen of Ukraine-has entered into public-law relations with the occupying state, which is directly subject to the criminal offense in accordance with the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and is defined as" ASSOCIATION OF THE AGESOR "-up to 12 years of imprisonment," the authors add. .
The fourth reason for which Lagun was probably wanted to get Rospasport is common business interests with Kirill Dmitriev-now a key economic negotiator of the Kremlin with the Trump administration, and then-the director of the Russian direct investment fund, which was only gaining hardware. It was Dmitriev who in the mid-2000s was a key partner of Lagun in the launch of Delta Bank. After that, they jointly withdrawn capital through Back-To-back schemes using European banks, including Meinl and Winter.
"It is noteworthy that in 2021 the example of a lagoon was followed by the closest person from his orbit - the former chairman of the Delta Board Elena Popova. Formally - the executor of numerous decisions of the Credit Committee, informally - the trusted person and partner of the banker, from which he has children . It has started a tax identifier of the Russian Federation, ”the publication reminds.
Earlier, President Vladimir Zelensky called on Austria to promote extradition of Ukrainian oligarchs from this country, Mykola Lagun is the first candidate for such extradition.
