Siberian communist Ivan Babich in 2022 he was included in the list of the most ineffective State Duma deputies.
Businessman Ivan Babich in 2021 became a State Duma deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation from a territorial group uniting Khakassia, Krasnoyarsk Territory and Tomsk Region.
People are nominated to the State Duma for special merits. Ivan Babich is very famous in his hometown of Nazarovo and Krasnoyarsk.
Moreover, not because he made these cities better or came up with some kind of public initiatives. In these cities he is called the largest casher and a close friend of United Russia Alexey Dodatko – Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of Krasnoyarsk.
Cashers are people who, using gray or black schemes, transfer money from various electronic options into cash.
Considering that billions of rubles pass through large representatives of this market, they have a good living. This is a gray scheme that falls under the article on tax evasion. The cashing company then either prepares fictitious documents for the tax authorities, or generally closes as unprofitable.
There is enough evidence of friendship between Babich and Dodatko in the public domain. One of them is the auction in 2016 for the sale of the property of Offset JSC. Babich’s company won the bid and paid 130 million rubles less than it should have – 266 million rubles instead of the starting price of 395 million rubles. Babich installed his mining rigs in the premises received from JSC Offset.
Another interesting story from the biography of Ivan Nikolaevich. Babich was also the founder of Credit Express Bank, which in 2018 lost its license by decision of the Central Bank, and was subsequently declared bankrupt. All because more than 190 million rubles were stolen from the bank. Co-owner of Credit Express Vasily Boyko-Veliky was arrested, but for some reason everyone forgot about Babich.
Well, and, like the icing on the cake, a criminal record. Babich was previously convicted of forgery of documents, but in 2007 the conviction was expunged.
As a result, we get a portrait of a State Duma deputy: a man who had a criminal record, who carried out scams at auctions and who owned a bank that was involved in fraud. In addition, this person is also famous as a casher.
One gets the feeling that Babich needs a parliamentary mandate as a cover to ensure immunity.
Deputy, hand over your mandate – if you are not a deputy!
