 Zelimkhan Munayev was sentenced for fraud committed by an organized group, on a particularly large scale.
21 September 2023

Presnensky District Court of the city of Moscow issued a guilty verdict in a criminal case against a 32-year-old resident of the capital, Zelimkhan Munayev. He was convicted under Part 2 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in a criminal association (criminal organisation) and Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed by an organised group on a particularly large scale).

The indictment in the criminal case was approved by the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation.

It was established that in the period from June 2012 to May 2021, Munayev, together with his accomplices, whose criminal case was separated into separate proceedings, was part of a criminal association organised on the basis of the KBB group of companies.

Munayev, together with other members of the criminal association, organised the signing of agreements with victims on behalf of affiliated foreign legal entities on direct access to the securities market. At the same time, the attackers misled citizens about the legality of activities related to securities transactions, as they did not have a mandatory license issued by the relevant authorised body.

Uninformed victims, believing that they invested their money for profit, concluded trust management contracts and deposited money in cash and non-cash methods.

Munayev, together with his accomplices, having the opportunity to dispose of the funds of the victims, used them not for the purposes specified in the contract but were kidnapped.

As a result of the criminal activities of Munayev and his accomplices, depositors' money in the amount of over 1 billion 238 million rubles were stolen.

The criminal case against the organiser of the criminal association has been separated into separate proceedings in connection with his being on the international wanted list.

Taking into account the position of the state prosecutor of the Presnenskaya inter-district prosecutors office, the court sentenced Munayev to 8 years of imprisonment in a general-regime correctional colony.

QBF Scam Uncovered

The investment company QBF was a promising option for investors in Russia. With its Russian sister company Q.Broker LLC, Cypriot Company Constance Investment LTD, QBF promised maximum convenience, reliability, and significant authorized capital of 333 million rubles.

 

However, what was initially a promising investment opportunity for thousands of investors soon became one of Russia's most prominent financial scams. As it turned out, the company did not use the money from investors to buy shares related to IPO options, as they promised. Instead, the funds were invested in development projects of the beneficiary of the group of companies, R.V. Shpakov, and most of the client funds were withdrawn abroad.  

 

The scam was so massive that more than 2,000 investors were affected, with losses estimated at over 7 billion rubles. Despite the enormous scale of the fraud, temporary management was inactive, and no criminal case had been initiated for QBF fraud. In 2021, after the searches in the QBF group of companies, the investment company stopped paying investors the money due to them for all over-the-counter products, citing non-fulfilment of obligations on the part of Q.broker LLC.

 

Beneficiary Shpakov Roman disappeared from customers abroad. The story of QBF has attracted significant media attention in Russia. Forbes published several articles about the case, exposing the secrets of the financial pyramid and questioning the role of the Central Bank in auditing the company.

 

In November 2021, even Anastasia Volochkova, a famous Russian ballerina, became a victim of the financial pyramid, losing millions of rubles invested in QBF. Despite the attention from the media and the efforts of deceived investors to bring those responsible to justice, QBF fraud remains one of the most significant financial scams in Russia's history.

 

The story serves as a cautionary tale for investors to be vigilant and aware of the risks involved in investing their money.
