Such a question YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin
put before Sergei Sobyanin, the Mayor of Moscow, in his letter
forwarded to the Mayor’s office on April 20. A package of
shares of the Bank of Moscow and the Capital Insurance Group
(Stolichnaya Stakhovaya Gruppa) was first into the authorized
capital of OAO the Moscow Fuel Company (MFC) and then was
sold to the VTB Bank.
It was stated that MFC received RUR 103 billion for the shares.
However, the Moscow budget has not received these funds yet.
Moreover, amendments to the budget submitted to the Moscow
City Duma (Moscow parliament) by the Mayor did not envisage
any budget revenues in the Moscow budget from the sale of
the shares.
"Andrei Sharonov [Deputy Mayor on the Economic Policy]
stated publicly that the money from the sale of the shares
would get to the budget. The absence of budget revenues from
MFC in the law on budget means that the money will either
remain at the disposal of the fuel company, or it were not
paid by the buyer at all," runs Mitrokhin’s letter.
Sergei Mitrokhin demands from the Mayor of Moscow to adopt
measures so that the proceeds from the sale of the shares
would get to the budget of Moscow.
Ex President of the Bank of Moscow Andrei Borodin indirectly
confirms Mitorkhin’s fears. “According to my information,
the money from he sale of the shares of the Bank of Moscow
has not arrived to the Moscow budget yet, it is on the accounts
in the VTB bank. Almost all the money is deposited in the
accounts of the TZK company in the VTB bank, or perhaps in
other subsidiary banks, possibly in Cyprus ", Borodin
said in his interview published by Vedomosti on April 20.
Earlier, Sergei Mitrokhin had applied to Public Prosecutor
General demanding to dispute the deal in court as violating
privatisation laws.
