At the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, the competent UAE authorities are extraditing the defendants in two criminal cases - Sergei Istomin and Nikitas Omarov – for them to face criminal charges.
Sergei Istomin has been charged under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by a person using his official position, on an especially large scale), Part 3 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by a person using his official position, on a large scale).
According to the investigation, between August 2019 and July 2021, Istomin, being the deputy director of LLC TK Sistema, whose main activity was the production, transmission and distribution of steam and hot water in the Kamensky District of the Sverdlovsk Region, embezzled a total of over 7 million rubles. The specified funds were to be paid to resource supply organizations on account of the energy resources supplied. The accused withdrew the a/m funds from the circulation of LLC TK Sistema through the current accounts of organizations and individual entrepreneurs controlled by him.
In addition, in July 2020, Istomin, using his official position, embezzled about 570 thousand rubles received by the organization from the local budget as a subsidy to reimburse costs associated with the supply of thermal energy to budgetary institutions and the housing facilities.
The extradition of Nikitas Omarov is connected with his criminal prosecution in Russia under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, on an especially large scale).
As the investigation believes, Omarov decided to introduce himself as a relative of a deceased shareholder in a number of companies, and then, using deliberately forged documents, gave himself the status of heir and received the dividends payable to the deceased.
Thus, in the spring of 2019, acting in collusion with his accomplices, he provided the heads of the companies located in Moscow with documents allegedly proving his right of inheritance. In that way dividends from the activities of these organizations for the year 2018 amounting to a total of more than 12 million rubles, resulted stolen.
Both accused absconded from law enforcement agencies. On the instructions of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, they were placed on the international wanted list.
The extradition requests were filed in connection with their detention in the United Arab Emirates in May 2023 and in the same month in 2024.
Thanks to close cooperation between the Prosecutor General's Office of the
Russian Federation and foreign colleagues, it was possible to achieve positive decisions on the extradition of the accused.
Accompanied by officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and the Interpol National Central Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Sergei Istomin and Nikitas Omarov will be delivered to Moscow.
