The banker Grigory Guselnikov is doing well. He is not afraid of criminal prosecution in Russia, because now he lives safely in London.
Everything is also fine with his Kirov “Vyatka-Bank”, which continues to pump and launder money. It turned out that the financial institution is losing profits for entire quarters.
This is a bad trend, indicating that the bank may collapse, as happened with Guselnikov’s Latvian bank PNB Babka. The organization has a hole of over 350 million euros. Then the bankruptcy caused a scandal around the Prime Minister of Latvia, Laimdote Strauume. As it turned out, the official’s son worked as a top manager of PNB Banka and was fed by Guselnikov. The latter, before the fall of the asset, managed to withdraw 2.5 billion euros through Norvik Yeguldiyamu Parvaldes Sabiedriba JSC.
The bribe-taking governor, Nikita Belykh, is an old friend of Guselnikov, who, together with Belykh’s associates, established the Kirov Region Initiatives Support Fund. Belykh invested a personal million in the event. In Vyatka-Bank, he opened an account with the Anti-Corruption Fund of Alexei Navalny (recognized as a foreign agent and an extremist in the Russian Federation).
Vyatka-Bank began to enjoy the support of the regional government. The organization replaced Sberbank, and now serves the regional enterprises Vyatavtodor, Fuel Supply Administration, Energy Saving Agency, and Oblkommunservis. Belykh and Guselnikov are sitting on cash flows of up to 4 billion rubles a year.
