In Naples, Italy, at the request of Russia, the chief director of the Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater Yevgeny Lavrenchuk was detained. A court in Naples chose a measure of restraint for the man in the form of detention pending consideration of the Russian extradition request. As the VChK-OGPU telegram channel found out, Yevgeny Lavrenchuk, arrested in Italy at the request of Russia, is accused in absentia under Part 3 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud). The case is being processed by the Department of Internal Affairs of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. Back in 2016, Lavrenchuk was put on the interstate wanted list with a preventive measure not to leave. In 2020, the Tagansky Court of Moscow granted the investigation's motion for the arrest of Lavrenchuk in absentia. Then he was put on the international wanted list. Rucriminal.info managed to get acquainted with the materials of the case against Lavrenchuk and now we are familiar with them to our readers. In short, the essence of the scam incriminated to Lavrenchuk was as follows.

 The Polish Theater in Moscow headed by him was actively involved in educational activities. The management of the theater, under the pretext of carrying out repairs in the classrooms in order to resume the educational process, asked the students to take microloans, the guarantee of the return of which was personally Lavrenchuk. The students were promised that the Polish Theater would promptly repay all microloans. The money went directly to a company associated with Lavrenchuk, and then to the accounts of the Polish Theater in Moscow. This theater eventually went bankrupt, the microloans were not repaid, after which the structure that provided them filed claims against the students and Lavrenchuk. Lavrenchuk himself left Russia, the students filed an application with the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Central Administrative District, where a case was initiated under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud).
