Cases of Heads of Failed Banks Sent to Prosecutor General
The Deposit Insurance Fund performing the function of liquidator of failed banks appealed to the General Directorate for Combating Corruption under the Prosecutor General's Office, the Fund said.
The reason for this was to identify the illegal activities of the leaders of several banks before revocation of the license.
The Fund revealed that in several cases money received from the sale of property of the bank's clients was not mainly directed to cover the credit debt. In addition, a large number of loans under false signatures were issued for people, which did not apply to the bank for any loan.
We note that in its report the Fund does not name a specific individual or a bank.
Recall that at the stage of liquidation are Royal Bank, Bank of Azerbaijan, Tekhnika Bank, Zamin Bank, Para Bank, Deka Bank, Credo Bank, Atra Bank, Qafqaz Inkisaf Bank, and Bank Standard. -----71D
