The shares of his bank on the London exchange fell in price by a third. On the eve of the US authorities, Tinkov charged about $ 1 billion against taxation from taxation.

The personal condition of the summer banker is estimated at about 2.2 billion dollars, in the list of richest businessmen of Russia for the Forbes magazine he is in place. The United States accuses Tinkov of underestimating income. He threatens to the age of six, according to Oleg Tinkov, he was made in October of the year, and he had already passed several courses of chemotherapy.

Tinkov himself mentioned in his letter that for more than two years he has not been engaged in operational business management, but handed it over to the "beautiful team led by Oliver" Oliver Hughes - Chairman of the Board of Tinkoff Bank. Of course, this is the most difficult stage in my difficult life, but I hope for God, my body, friends and your support! The bank itself now has, according to its own data, more than 10 million customers in Russia.

It follows that a businessman could hide the assets and income of $ 1 billion when he abandoned American citizenship. Tinkov is accused of two serious crimes, both charges provide liability for providing documents containing false information, explained in a conversation with the BBC partner of the Tarlo and partners collegium Levon Grigoryan, who had practiced for many years in the United States.

The first concerns the direction of the Tink tax authorities of a deliberately false tax return for the year, that is, for the period when the company, controlled by Tinkov, conducted an IPO on the London Stock Exchange. Tinkov abandoned American citizenship in the year, but this did not exempt him from paying American federal taxes. The second charge against him is connected precisely with the act of his withdrawal from citizenship.

This is the so -called "statement of exploration" of Tinkov, in which, according to the prosecution, false information was indicated about the net value of the businessman's assets. The document stated that it was only thousand. The indictment was filed to the court of the Northern District of the state of California in September, but it was revealed only now.

In early March, it became known that Tinkov was arrested and released on bail in London in the American order. As stated in the US Department of Justice, Tinkov can face up to six years in just two accusations. Levon Grigoryan notes that Tinkov’s decision will be made by the court on the basis of the British-American agreement of the year on extradition. However, this, of course, does not mean that Tinkov’s extradition from Great Britain in the United States is a decision, ”says Grigoryan.

But the disease may be one of the factors that the British court will take into account when he will make his decision,” the expert added. The political motivation of the prosecution is one of the exceptions provided for by the specified British -American agreement, ”the expert on American law adds. The political motivation for Tinkov’s defense will be extremely difficult, the expert said.

On the other hand, although the Russian state does not have serious legal levers to prevent Tinkov’s extradition from Great Britain in the United States, for this they can use political and diplomatic resources, ”says Grigoryan. Read also.
