Investigators have charged businessman Magomed Bilalov with malfeasance in connection with funds intended for the construction of Olympic sports facilities.
Magomed Bilalov, a former deputy chairman of property developer Krasnaya Polyana's board of directors, was charged in absentia, Interfax reported.
He is the brother of Akhmed Bilalov, who was accused by the Prosecutor General's Office of spending money allocated to the state corporation North Caucasus Resorts, which he headed, on lavish trips to London and across Russia.
Magomed Bilalov said he was receiving medical treatment in Britain and was unavailable to report for questioning, the investigators said.
In the near future the Interior Ministry will decide whether to issue an international search warrant for Bilalov.
Investigators said that Magomed Bilalov received loans from Sberbank for the construction of facilities and then deposited the funds at the National Business Development Bank. Later, he got the money back in the form of loans from that bank.
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.
