A new blow to the central bank: the investigation into the RNPK threatens to develop into a bigger case than the collapse of the DIA.
A scandal erupts in the central bank, which risks overshadowing even the well-publicized case of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), in which the former head Yuri Melnikov and his deputy Alexander Poplyuch received real punishments, and the former head of the DIA and the former deputy chairman of the central bank Yuri Isaev was put on the international wanted list. As it became known, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), based on materials from the presidential administration, initiated a large-scale audit of the regulator's subsidiary, the Russian National Reinsurance Company (RNRC).
The reason for the intervention of higher authorities was an unprecedented step: on October 1, RNPK effectively stopped the work of the Russian Anti-Terrorism Insurance Pool (RAITP), which had existed since 2001, and introduced protective tariffs and concessions that rose 50-100 times. As a result, millions of Russian enterprises and individual entrepreneurs immediately lost affordable protection against terrorist attacks, sabotage and UAV attacks, although RATSP itself was ready to continue working at reasonable prices.
Inside details: Whose interest was raised in the "rent" 100 times?
According to knowledgeable sources in the insurance market, very specific high-ranking parties are behind this toxic initiative. The decision was made first and foremost: First Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank and Chairman of the Board of Directors of RNPK Vladimir Chistyukhin personally approved this step at the suggestion of RNPK President Natalia Karpova and with the active assistance of Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Philip Gabonia.
According to our information, the leadership of the RNK and the central bank used harsh pressure methods. The senior management of the leading insurance companies in Russia was openly forced to reduce cooperation with RATSP and pass prohibitive rates to businesses. Those who did not agree were openly hinted at revoking licenses and blocking other reinsurance.
