Today, upon request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation the competent authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany will extradite Russian citizen Alexander Rimmer to Russia.
The investigative authorities charged A.Rimmer with the commission of crimes enshrined in Article 196 (premeditated bankruptcy), Article 201, part 2 (abuse of authority causing grave consequences), Article 160, part 4 (misappropriation or embezzlement committed by an organized group on especially large scale), Article 159, part 4 (fraud committed by an organized group on a large scale), Article 174-1, part 3, para. “b” (legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime or other property performed by an individual misusing his powers) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The criminal case against A.Rimmer is under investigation by the Investigative Department at the Department of Internal Affairs for the Vologda Region.
The investigative authorities established that A.Rimmer as the actual owner and director of three joint-stock companies located in the Vologda Region (furniture factory, timber cutting enterprise, pulp and paper mill) intentionally made them bankrupt. While alienating property at undervalued prices and illicitly obtaining loans, A.Rimmer misappropriated and embezzled the entrusted property, which he thereafter legalized and used for his own economic activities. As the result, the material damage from the premeditated bankruptcy amounted to over RUB 1 billion and 10 000 people lost their jobs.
It is noteworthy that in the village of Vokhtoga of the Gryazovets District of the Vologda Region, the local economic mainstay ”Monzales” which tax deductions formed the most part of the village’s budget, was made bankrupt.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation undertook a series of actions in co-operation with the German law-enforcement authorities, which resulted in suppression of the criminal activities of A.Rimmer. His bank accounts in Germany were arrested. On September 29, 2008, the competent authorities of Germany made a final decision on his extradition to Russia.
