Today, upon the request of the General Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Spain are extraditing a citizen of the Russian Federation Roman Gorbunov. He is accused of committing a crime foreseen by part 4 of article 159 (fraud, i.e. misappropriation of other's property by means of deceit and abuse of confidence committed on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The criminal case is in the execution stage of the Main Investigative Board of the Investigative Committee of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of Saint Petersburg and Leningrad region.

It is determined that in the period of October and December of 2007 Gorbunov, as a General Director of LLC "Automobiles, Repair, Transportations" together with unidentified persons concluded agreements of financial rent (leasing) with LLC "Petersburg Leasing company". According to the documents, the latter organization took responsibility to purchase 13 semi-trailers KRONE SDP 27 from LLC "Automarket" and later on to hand over them to the leasing company headed by Gorbunov.

By misleading of the head of automobile leasing division of LLC "Petersburg Leasing company" about reliability of the company LLC "Automarket", Gorbunov prepared two trilateral agreements, falsifying the signature on behalf of the General Director of LLC "Automarket" and then having falsified the guarantee letter on delivery of 7 semi-trailers, received at the account of LLC "Automarket" monetary means in the amount of about 5.5 million rubles.

Later on the mentioned amount was transferred to the account of LLC "Automobiles, Repair, Transports" and then to the personal accounts of spouses the Gorbunovs.

Since Gorbunov disappeared from criminal prosecution, in February 2009 he was declared in the Federal search and in April 2010 he was placed into the international wanted list.

In January 2011 Gorbunov was detained on the territory of Spain. And at that time the General Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation forwarded to the Ministry of justice of the Kingdom of Spain a request for his extradition which was satisfied in June 2011.

In addition to this, today, upon the request of the General Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation, the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Spain are extraditing a citizen of the Russian Federation Svetlana Temnyuk who is blamed in committing crimes foreseen by part 1 of article 159 (fraud, i.e. misappropriation of other's property by means of deceit and breach of trust) and part 3 of article 159 (fraud in large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Criminal case is in the execution stage of the Investigation Board of the Department of Internal Affairs of Avtozavodskiy district of the city of Nizhniy Novgorod.

It is determined that in June 1998 Temnyuk obtained a loan in the amount of US $ 8,000 from OJSC “NBD-Bank” and till the year 2000 she carried out partial repayment in the amount of US$ 3058 and 47 cents.

Thus, assuring the Bank in the presence of capability for repayment of the loan, but, having no intentions for the full repayment of the loan, Temnyuk disappeared causing damage to the Bank for the amount of US$ 4941 and 53 cents.

Moreover, in April 1999 Temnyuk fraudulently misappropriated monetary means of her friend in the amount of 21 thousand of US dollars.

Since Temnyuk disappeared from criminal prosecution in May 2001 she was announced in the Federal search and in March 2005 she was placed into the international wanted list.

In October 2005 it was obtained information about the accused residence on the territory of Spain after which on the initiative of the Russian side in August 2006 Temnyuk was detained by the Spanish law-and-order bodies. And at the same time the General Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation forwarded to the Ministry of justice of the Kingdom of Spain a request for her extradition to Russia.

However, being temporarily liberated from pre-extradition arrest in 2007 Temnyuk disappeared from the Spanish authorities and up to the year of 2011 her dislocation was unknown.

After detention of the mentioned person the procedure for her extradition was restarted and in June 2011 the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Spain accepted the final decision about her extradition to Russia.
