MOSCOW, July 19 (RAPSI, Lyudmila Klenko) – The Investigative Department of the Interior Ministry has brought charges in absentia against the owner of the “Energostroyinvest-holding” Anton Zingarevich and the CEO of the company Constantin Shishkin, Kommersant newspaper reported on Tuesday.

According to the newspaper, two men are charged with fraud in a criminal case over embezzlement of 2.2 billion rubles ($35 mln).

Zingarevich currently resides in the United States and has already been put on a wanted list, Kommersant wrote. Lawyer of the businessman believes that charges may be dropped. However, since Russia and the U.S. have no extradition treaty for people accused of crimes, Zingarevich potentially may be deported to Russia for violation of immigration legislation.

Kommersant wrote that two episodes serving as the ground for the criminal case allegedly happened in 2013. According to the newspaper, one of the episodes is related to receiving a large credit from the Globex bank while second one is related to receiving a large credit from the MTS-bank.
