VTB discovered a number of internal financial irregularities at the end of 2009, according to a report from the bank’s comptroller.
These included a failure to notify the comptroller of evidence of securities price manipulation. The comptroller recommended disciplinary action against employees and managers in the bank’s investment division, VTB Capital.
Violations of deadlines and accounting procedures were found, as well as issues with limits and excessive risks in operations on financial markets.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
