Rucriminal.info continues to tell about Valentin Mikhailovich Sanko, who has been working as the director of the energy complex of Russian Railways since April 2016. And until 2016, he owned Promenergobank in his almost hometown of Vologda, where he once worked as the general director of Vologdaenergo.
Valentin Mikhailovich successfully stole all the funds of the bank’s clients as a result of simple operations in the form of issuing knowingly non-repayable loans to enterprises belonging to him. After the withdrawal of all liquid assets, the bank predictably went bankrupt, and Sanko moved to the capital to an enviable position in Russian Railways.
With the funds withdrawn from the bank, Sanko acquired numerous real estate properties in Moscow for himself and his relatives: apartments, country houses, office and shopping centers, a fishing base in Astrakhan, a hunting base in Vologda and even one plant in Tver - "Tverenergokabel", as well as a yacht and three villas in Croatia, several very expensive cars. In general, everything that is a necessary set for a gentleman of fortune who has achieved success in life.
It might seem to the average person that here it is - success has come, live peacefully and enjoy the life of a wealthy person. But no, Sanko was consumed by the thirst for profit, he could not stop and as a result continued his dangerous business, vigorously withdrawing assets from the state-owned company JSC "Russian Railways". According to a source of Rucriminal.info, within JSC Russian Railways, acting according to a scheme he had already worked out, Sanko created a criminal group consisting of individuals who had previously bankrupted Promenergobank together with him: Valery Anatolyevich Sorokin, Marina Nikolaevna Kruglyonya, Alexander Nikolaevich Kuzminsky and Oleg Vadimovich Tarlinsky.
He arranged for V.A. Sorokin, M.N. Kruglyonya and A.N. Kuzminsky to work at JSC Russian Railways in various positions: V.A. Sorokin as his first deputy, M.N. Kruglyonya as a personal secretary in the reception area, and A.N. Kuzminsky as an assistant.
100% of the authorized capital of Garantstroy LLC, INN 7735185985, which was under the control of V.M. Sanko, were fictitiously registered to his old accomplice, O.V. Tarlinsky.
Then, JSC Russian Railways, through its 100% subsidiary OOO Energopromsbyt, on the instructions of V. M. Sanko, concluded numerous contracts with OOO Garantstroy, which was under his control, at inflated prices, and under some of them, work was not carried out at all. As a result of the last scam, Sanko became even richer, there was nowhere to put the money. But this time Sanko acted outside the box, he did not give it to the defrauded creditors of his Promenergobank, did not hide it in one of several apartments owned by him, but put the money in sports bags and took it to two state banks to place it on deposit and invest in securities. Thus, the head of the VIP client department at VTB, Ramil Farukshin, was horrified when he saw the amount of money Sanko brought with him in the bags and asked him to somehow reduce their amount to at least 1 billion rubles. As a result, Sanko, who already has three villas in Croatia, had to spend the surplus money on purchasing two expensive chalets in Crimea that he no longer needed - one on the seashore at the address: Republic of Crimea, Sevastopol, Orlovka settlement, Vyazovaya Roshcha station, and the other in the mountains at the address: Republic of Crimea, Bakhchisarai district, Vysokoye village, Kuibyshevskaya street, 41.
And only the main creditor of Promenergobank JSC - the state corporation "ASV" is still waiting in vain for the return of the money stolen from the state from the chief power engineer of Russian Railways Sanko V.M. The deputy general director Popelyukh A.A., who is supervising the investigation of the criminal case against Sanko V.M. at the request of the State Corporation "ASV", was arrested on October 9, 2024 after a visit by FSB officers to the central office of the DIA in Moscow.
