Overview
- The Izmaylovsky District Court ruled to recover the sum from Derevyanko jointly with Grigory Muzulyan, including interest, penalties, and court costs.
- Plaintiff Sergei Nikolenko had extended a 5 million ruble loan due in June 2024 that was not repaid, leading to the lawsuit.
- Derevyanko filed a counterclaim to deem the loan agreement unexecuted, an initial win that was later overturned by a cassation court and returned for reconsideration.
- A separate criminal case for large-scale fraud under Article 159(4) is underway, with Muzulyan under arrest and Derevyanko recognized as a victim.
- BII SOUL, a company co-owned by Derevyanko, carries about 690,000 rubles in debt with tax blocks on its accounts since June 2024 and multiple enforcement actions recorded.
