According to the General Directorate of the region’s Ministry of the Interior, the 50-year-old businessman decided to dedicate himself to the agricultural business and opened his own company for it. But as a result, he began using this firm for fraudulent operations, the investigation believes.
As the target of his machinations, the businessman chose a branch of a major international cargo transportation company. According to the police, he assumed that the multimillion-dollar company would not even notice the disappearance of the sums he stole.
The defendants figured out the company, which was once a partner of this carrier, but was later liquidated. He made false stamps and details of this company, and also falsified documents on the transfer of rights of a liquidated legal entity to his company.
After that, the businessman began to file claims with the arbitration court for the allegedly assigned debts of the cargo company. According to the first lawsuit, the court recovered 4 million rubles in his favor, and according to the second, another 5 million rubles.
But when the trucking company found out that 9 more lawsuits were filed against it for a total of more than 70 million rubles, it turned to the police.
The businessman was arrested, during the raid they seized prints of the stamps of the injured company and several signatures.
The court detained the defendant, the consideration of his case will begin in the near future.
