A businessman from the “London List” was sentenced to seven years in prison

Ex-head of TransFin-M Zotov from Titov's list was found guilty of fraud

“Dmitry Zotov was found guilty of fraud, writes RIA Novosti. The Nikulinsky court of Moscow sentenced the businessman to seven years in a general regime colony, Zotov's lawyer Roman Kostenko told the agency.

Zotov is on the so-called London list of business ombudsman Boris Titov, which includes businessmen who left the country out of fear of criminal prosecution , but are ready to return, subject to a fair trial.

The prosecutor's office asked for the former head of the company eight years in prison, and for his ex-deputy Elena Sergeeva – five with a suspended sentence. She received just such a term, but a suspended sentence, with five years of probation.

Zotov was the CEO of TransFin-M from March 2013 to November 2018. The criminal case was opened in August 2019. The deal, which the investigation considers to be theft of the company's property, consisted in the sale of a thousand railway cars to InvestAktiv at a non-market price.

In September, another member of the list, Mikhail Kubasov, returned to Russia. In 2019, he was charged in absentia with attempted large-scale fraud. Since 2019, the businessman has been on the federal wanted list, and since 2020 – on the international wanted list.
