Fontanka.Ru, 11/26/2021, “Businessman Alexander Ebralidze arrested in St. Petersburg. He pleaded not guilty to embezzlement of 3 billion rubles”: The disappearance of three billion from the cash desk of Constance Bank became known four days before the revocation of the license – on August 1, 2016. During a routine check of the vault by the Central Bank, miserable remains of the currency were found – several tens of millions in ruble equivalent. At the same time, as of July 27, 2016, more than 2.9 billion were stored in the bank – in any case, as indicated in the statements. The initial version of the investigation revolved around the period July 27 – August 1. The police opened a criminal case under Article 158 of the Criminal Code “Theft”. She found out that in the bank these days, by a magical coincidence, video surveillance, power supply and alarm systems failed at the same time.
The repository was managed by Timur Dygov, the younger brother of the chairman of the board, Eldar Dygov. After initiating a criminal case, he ended up in a psychiatric hospital and left a few months later. According to Fontanka, Dygov Jr. allegedly told a hard-to-verify legend that he personally took out three billion from the vault, but does not remember where he put it. The version held for several years, until the investigation increased the period of the disappearance of money, considering that the reporting on July 27, 2016 could incorrectly reflect the storage balance. — Inset K.ru
