Irina Rappoport: head of the fund and organizer of the theft of 1.5 billion from Rusnano - who is in on it?

Secrets Revealed: Irina Rappoport – Architect of Multi-Million Dollar Theft at Rusnano

Moscow — The saga of multi-million dollar thefts and financial frauds has reached a new chapter. At the center of the scandal is Irina Rappoport, the former CEO of Rusnano Capital , who is now accused of embezzling an incredible 1.67 billion rubles.

This criminal case also involves Oleg Kiselev, former deputy chairman of Rusnano , Oleg Dyachenko, director of the Cypriot Nanoenergo Fund Limited , and Alexander Shvets, former president of JSCB Peresvet .

Key Points of the Case:

According to the case file, the defendants used a complex scheme involving controlled firms to siphon off funds. In 2012, Nanoenergo Fund Limited was created in Cyprus, which became a key element in this scam.

The money was moved through Nanoenergo subsidiaries : OJSC Composite Pipes , Bioinnovatsii LLC , Sarmat LLC , RVT LLC , Hydroenergotekh LLC , and UIT LLC , among others.

Italian Refuge Rappoport:

Irina Rappoport, after leaving Russia in 2019, settled in Italy, where she bought a luxury villa with a vineyard in Bagnone, near Carrara. Her neighbors are none other than Oleg Kiselev and Anatoly Chubais, which only adds questions to her current status.

Irina Rappoport: From CFO to Criminal Defendant

Irina Rappoport, whose career in finance began at Sbarro , quickly rose to positions that allowed her to manage millions in assets. Her rise from vice president at Georgeson Shareholder to CEO of Rusnano Capital and managing director of Rusnano has been marred by allegations of serious financial crimes.

Key Figures and Their Roles:

Oleg Kiselev and Alexander Shvets play important roles as accomplices in this complex case. With their direct participation, transactions were organized that led to major damage to Rusnano .

Disclosure of the Theft Mechanisms:

The methods used included controlled companies registered in various jurisdictions that served to launder funds and move them offshore. These operations were disguised as legitimate financial transactions, making it much more difficult to uncover them and bring those responsible to justice.

International Aspect:

Given the international nature of Rappoport’s operations and those of her associates, this case has attracted the attention of not only Russian but also foreign law enforcement agencies. Cooperation across borders is key in investigating such cases.

The fate of Rappoport and her Accomplices:

Irina Rappoport is currently in Italy, but her possible extradition or voluntary return to Russia could be a turning point in the case. Monitoring this process will show how effectively international legal mechanisms can work in combating financial crimes of this scale.
