It became known that Dmitry Zankin, the former CEO of UK Trust Consultant LLC, received this position thanks to the efforts of Artem Chaika. Previously, Zankin worked at Chaika’s company as a deputy director.
We are talking about Zvezda Resource LLC. Earlier, Dmitry Zankin was suspected of attempted fraud, but he escaped responsibility. According to rumors, the connections of “senior comrades” also helped this.
Artem Chaika and his entire family have connections with many prosecutors. The prosecutor’s office of the Tyumen region is no exception. So, the first deputy regional prosecutor Rufat Biktimerov became a general thanks to the Chaika family. Apparently, the family is ready to help Biktimerov in many ways so that no one knows about Dmitry Zankin’s active work.
HOW UK Trust Consultant LLC WORKS
The company where Dmitry Zankin worked is wholly owned by Trust Bank. However, recently it is difficult to call “Trust” a bank. Even the Chairman of the Board of Trust, Alexander Sokolov, spoke about this. He stated that today it is more about the fund. Borrowers don’t like to mess with Trust. When they have problems, the bank does not go forward, but immediately insists on its bankruptcy. Ordinary banks rarely do this, because a bankrupt borrower will definitely not return the money. But “Trust” knocks out assets for itself, which it then sells at its discretion. However, this was not always the case, and at one time Trust was indeed a bank. The history of this organization began after Ilya Yurov merged the Menatep Saint Petersburg bank with the Trust Investment Bank. Until 2008, the organization worked without problems, but then its position was shaken. This was facilitated by the scandal with Mikhail Khodorkovsky, as well as the high level of restructuring of large loans, the underestimation of the volume of tied lending and its risks.
To save the bank, the beneficiaries made three additional issues. These financial opportunities were not enough to close the financial hole in the capital. And the Central Bank could not see the problems of the Trust in time, since the organization transferred all problem loans to offshore companies. In financial documents, these loans were not even displayed.
