Russian anti-corruption boss alleged to have €300mn in Swiss banks, after $120mn found at his flat
About €300 million ($336 million) was found in Swiss bank accounts of the father of Russia’s anti-corruption agency head, media reports. The news comes days after police arrested Dmitry Zakharchenko and found over $122 million in cash at his Moscow home.
Law enforcement agencies found documents about the accounts of offshore firms registered in the name of Zakharchenko’s father Viktor, according to a source speaking to Rosbalt news agency.
“Six bank accounts like this were found mostly at Rothschild Bank and the Dresdner Bank, with each having between €45 million and €47 million. This is more than €300 million,” the source added.
The source described the amounts on the Swiss accounts as being“colossal,” while the authorities are trying to find out where the money came from.
“It’s clear that we are not only talking about money from Nota-Bank, as it was previously perceived,” the source mentioned.
NOTA-Bank had its license revoked by the Russian Central Bank in November.
