Today, Rucriminal.info’s investigation about Valentin Mikhailovich Sanko, who has been working since April 2016 as the director of JSC Russian Railways for the energy complex - the head of Transenergo with a salary of 2,300,000 rubles per month.

Before this, he worked:

- Advisor to the General Director of JSC RAO ES Vostoka 2009–2012, the average salary of V.M. Sanko was 8,000 rubles per month.

- Advisor to the General Director of JSC High-Speed ​​Highways in 2014–2015, the average salary of V.M. Sanko was, according to the 2NDFL certificate, 200,000 rubles per month.

 

The main occupation of V.M. Sanko in the period from 2008 to September 2016, he managed the business of his holding company, which included JSC Promenergobank.

According to the source, the shares of JSC Promenergobank owned by Sanko V.M. were registered to his closest relatives and partners - Kuzminsky Alexander Nikolaevich, Tarlinsky Oleg Vadimovich, daughter Kosterenko Ksenia Valentinovna and second wife (common-law) Pavlova Yulia Vladimirovna.

10% of the Bank's shares were registered to Sanko V.M.'s friends - Letnikov Nikolai Gavrilovich (former head of the Chubais A.B. apparatus at RAO UES, member of the board of RAO UES) and Sannikov Aleksey Valerievich (former deputy general director of JSC Holding MRSK, dismissed on corruption grounds).

From 2008 to 2016, V. M. Sanko had no income from the enterprises he owned, since their activities generated only losses. V. M. Sanko himself and members of his two families lived comfortably and acquired numerous real estate properties using the funds stolen by V. M. Sanko from depositors of JSC Promenergobank, which V. M. Sanko periodically withdrew outside the Bank in favor of his enterprises: City Auto LLC, Trespan LLC, VVSES OJSC, Vologodskaya MK-19 OJSC and others under the guise of issuing loans and concluding agreements on the assignment of claims.

V. M. Sanko had two families at the same time, requiring large expenses for their maintenance, one official family: wife - Sanko Antonina Viktorovna, daughter - Kosterenko Ksenia Valentinovna, son - Sanko Mikhail Valentinovich and the second unofficial: common-law wife Pavlova Yulia Vladimirovna, daughter - Pavlova Anna Valentinovna, son - Pavlov Kirill Valentinovich, son - Pavlov Vladimir Valentinovich. None of the members of the two families of Sanko V.M. ever worked, all the money for their maintenance has always been allocated and is currently allocated by Sanko V.M., which costs the enterprises where he works a tidy sum.

As a result of the constant withdrawal of funds from JSC "Promenergobank" by Sanko V.M. for his personal needs in astronomical amounts, the Bank completely lost its own capital and ceased to fulfill obligations to creditors. By order of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation dated 05.08.2016 No. OD-2524, the license of JSC Promenergobank to carry out banking operations was revoked, by the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Vologda Region dated 19.10.2016 in case No.

Currently, the amount of unsatisfied claims of the Bank's creditors is more than a billion rubles.

In December 2021, the ASV Group conducted an inspection of the circumstances of the bankruptcy of JSC Promenergobank and prepared a "Conclusion based on the results of an additional inspection of the circumstances of the bankruptcy dated 23.12.2021".

Based on the results of the inspection, on February 11, 2022, the ASV Group sent an application to the UMVD of Russia for the Vologda Region to initiate a criminal case against the beneficiary of the Bank V.M. Sanko, N.G. Litnikova, O.V. Tarlinsky. and other executives under Part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code (theft) Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).

According to the opinion of the ASV Group, the said persons caused damage to the Bank in the amount of 1,266,854,058 rubles by concluding a number of transactions on the assignment of the right to claim market assets at a significant discount, accepting real estate at an inflated price as compensation, and overstating expenses under contracts (paragraph 3, p. 47 of the Conclusion of the ASV Group based on the results of an additional audit).

The Bank's funds were withdrawn by V. M. Sanko, N. G. Letnikov, O. V. Tarlinsky, together with other executives of the Bank, also under the guise of issuing loans to enterprises belonging to them, legalized and accumulated in City Auto LLC and Trespan LLC, which are under the control of V. M. Sanko.

City Auto LLC was a technical enterprise created for the legalization of funds and did not conduct any real business activity. The company's revenue in 2015 was only 2,000,000 rubles.

The general director of City Auto LLC was his girlfriend Sanko V.M.-Kruglenya Marina Nikolaevna, and the owner of 100% of the shares of City Auto LLC was his long-time partner Sorokin Valery Anatolyevich.

According to the conclusion of the State Security Service, the main damage to the Bank was caused by the transactions of the right of claim with OOO City Auto.

In addition, V. M. Sanko, having demonstrated remarkable criminal talent, a month before the bankruptcy of the Bank belonging to him, managed to sell JSC Promenergobank for 170,000,000 rubles to two buyers - individuals Golubeva L. I. and Gorokhov V. A., having deceived the latter regarding its financial condition.
