At the initiative of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, Russian citizen Vladimir Tsellermayer has been deported from the United States of America. He is charged under Parts 1 and 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by an organized group on an especially large scale).
According to the investigation, during the period from June 2006 to April 2008 Tsellermayer was stealing bank funds obtained through the execution of loan agreements.
Thus, in June 2006, on the basis of copies of documents made at his request with inaccurate data, he received over 2 million rubles to purchase a vehicle. Having registered the car as his property and put it on the register, Tsellermayer sold it. At the same time, he failed to fulfill the obligation to return the money back to the bank.
In September of the same year, the accused used falsified documents to obtain credit cards in his own name at another bank, from which he spent more than 147 thousand rubles.
Subsequently, Tsellermayer conspired with his brother, upon which they recruited two acquaintances, one of whom was a bank employee. Thus, a mechanism for committing theft was established, which included searching for credit institutions with suitable conditions, producing fictitious documents to confirm solvency, and searching for expensive cars for which loans were issued.
As a result, funds from three banks totaling over 32 million rubles were embezzled, that the accomplices used at their own discretion.
In September 2012, Tsellermayer was placed on the international wanted list, and a preventive measure in the form of detention was imposed upon him in absentia.
In December last year, information was received about Tsellermeyer’s presence in the United States in connection with his possible violation of the country’s immigration laws.
Thanks to the interaction between the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia and the competent authorities of the United States of America, taking into account the materials provided by the Russian side, it was possible to achieve a decision on his deportation.
