The investigative authorities accused V.Pak of crimes envisaged by Article 159, part 4 (fraud, i.e. misappropriation of someone else’s property performed by means of deceit and abuse of trust on especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The criminal case against V.Pak is under investigation by the First Division of the Investigative Unit of the Investigative Department under the Department of Internal Affairs for the North-East Administrative District of Moscow.
The investigative authorities discovered that from November 2005 to March 2006, V.Pak promised to assist a married couple to purchase vehicles “BMW X5” and “Toyota Land Cruiser 100” in Moscow. He received money from them in the amount of over Euro 20 000 which was transferred to a deposit account in one of the banks in Germany and also USD 40 000 in cash.

Having forged signatures of the married couple, V.Pak cashed the money and disappeared. The total amount of damage caused to them was over RUB 2.5 million.

At that same time, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation sent a request for his extradition to the Ministry of Justice of Germany, which was satisfied in November 2008.
Today, V.Pak will be extradited to Russia under the escort of officers of the Russian Interpol Bureau and the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia.
