Gentlemen Volkov and Vorotyntsev, according to investigators, forged the signature of a representative of the Kazakh BTA-Bank and made false contracts to terminate the contracts of pledge entered into by the bank with a dozen borrowers, including JSC "Russian Real Estate, LLC Investholdingstroy, LLC Story-elites, LLC "The project operator “Bylovo”", etc. After this, Artem Bondarenko and Alexei Belov, who had posts in "Eurasia Logistics" and also held the posts of general directors of JSC "Russkaya nedvizhimost" and "Stroy-elite", have signed these fakes on behalf of companies- creditors, and then registered them.
