OREANDA-NEWS. The provisional administration of OJSC JSCB Lesbank appointed by Bank of Russia Order No. OD-2661, dated 6 October 2015, due to the revocation of its banking licence, encountered an actual obstruction to its activity starting the first day of its mandate.

The top management of OJSC JSCB Lesbank failed to pass over credit agreements available in the bank's books in the amount of more than 2.6 billion rubles to the provisional administration. Besides, former officers of the bank used an authorised access to electronic media (server) on the day of the revocation of the banking licence to destroy the electronic database of assets and liabilities of the credit institution, including liabilities towards households, and the database backup. This may be indicative of an attempt to conceal documentary evidences of withdrawing assets from the bank.

A loan has been extended to an individual in the amount of 50 million roubles without executing relevant documents from the cash department, inconsistently with Bank of Russia regulations.

The Bank of Russia submitted information on the financial transactions bearing the evidence of criminal offence conducted by the former management and owners of OJSC JSCB Lesbank to the General Prosecutor's Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs, and to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for consideration and procedural decision making.
