Russian police arrest ex-banker Tsyrulnik on return from Mauritius

MOSCOW, Dec 11 (PRIME) -- Russian investigators have put under arrest Fyodor Tsyrulnik, head of DS-Bank, which lost its license in May 2016, upon his arrival from Mauritius, spokeswoman for the Investigative Committee Svetlana Petrenko said on Monday.

“Investigators have ensured voluntary return of defendant Tsyrulnik, who was hiding since May 2016 in the Republic of Mauritius (and placed on the international wanted list), to Russia. He has been put under arrest,” Petrenko said.

Tsyrulnik, among other executives of the bank, was earlier accused of misspending 585 million rubles.

Business ombudsman Boris Titov said earlier in December that he was preparing a list of Russian businessmen who are hiding in London from prosecution, and planned to ask President Vladimir Putin to allow them to return and redeem the financial damage they inflicted on the country.
