Exactly one year has passed since the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin gave the order to initiate a criminal case in connection with the appeal of a pensioner about the violation of her rights in Moscow. In February 2024, a resident of the Moscow region contacted Bastrykin at his VKontakte reception. In 2021, she entered into a loan agreement with PAO Sovcombank secured by real estate. However, due to illness, she was unable to make mandatory payments. Subsequently, the bank sold the right to claim the debt to ABK-Invest LLC without notifying the borrower, as a result of which the mortgaged apartment was foreclosed, and collectors tried to evict the applicant from the home. A year ago, Bastrykin instructed the head of the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the city of Moscow, Andrei Strizhov, to initiate a criminal case and submit a report on the preliminary and final results of his investigation.
What do you think happened to this story? That's right - nothing. Subordinates have long stopped paying attention to Bastrykin's orders, since he forgets about them 5 minutes after they are announced. And you can ignore instructions and orders without any consequences. And especially when it comes to such a large, rich and well-connected organized crime group as Sovcombank. If Strizhov had carried out Bastrykin's order, then the management of Sovcombank and its owners, the Khotsimskys, would already be behind bars. After conducting a small investigation, the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info found out that robbing pensioners, leaving large families without a family is a huge business for Sovcombank, which is carried out on the go-ahead of the Khotsimskys.
Earlier, we reported on the mass appeals of families of SVO participants during the direct line in December 2024 with Putin about fraud on the part of Sovcombank. According to the Decree of the President of Russia, they are exempt from mortgage payments for the duration of their participation in military operations. However, they found court decisions in their mailboxes on the seizure of their housing in favor of the bank. The situation is even worse for ordinary mortgage holders of Sovcombank. The owners of Sovcombank, the Khotsimsky brothers, openly say that they do not care about anything, since they are “under Mishustin’s roof.” On the same basis, the Khotsimskys massively withdraw depositors' funds and use them for their shadow projects.
Here are just a few examples of the activities of the Sovcombank organized crime group.
In the city of Kotovo, an 86-year-old woman, a disabled person of the second group, is evicted from her apartment. Evgeniya Shuvaeva took out a loan from Sovcombank seven years ago, which turned out to be a mortgage, and in the end she legally lost her apartment. The borrower's son told how the events unfolded:
"My mother was simply deceived. They called her from Sovcombank and called her into the office. She thought she was taking out a consumer loan, but they "foisted" a mortgage on her. She was 80 years old at the time, they had no right to give her this loan. They would not have been able to give her this loan if she had not been the owner of the apartment. She signed blindly, paid the loan for three years, and the main part of the loan was paid off. In addition, my mother, in fact, was not the owner of this housing. I gave her this apartment in 2007. There is even a certificate stating that she has not used the right to privatize it. Moreover, this is her only housing, and no one has the right to evict her.
Here's another story about how Sovcombank evicted a mother of five children from Anapa. She even went on a solo picket near the administration building after collectors left her family homeless
In Krasnodar Krai, Natalia Bulatova and her five children were thrown out onto the street one fine day. The house was bought with a mortgage, the family claims that they made payments on time and became victims of Sovcombank's fraud. According to the victims, the credit institution at some point first inflated the amount of debt, and then sold the debt to collectors. The new "owners" showed up quite quickly for the property, which they already obviously considered theirs. A deferment of payment was not implied at all. "They threw the car out with a tow truck, shot at the dogs, killed one, and promised to continue using force if we didn't leave. My wife, children, and elderly parents had to urgently leave our home in the clothes we were wearing," the head of the family said. According to him, the administration representatives remained completely deaf to all requests.
