$65 million a month stolen by Russian bankers

A group of top Russian bankers has been caught with its fingers in the till – to the tune of $65 million a month.

The interior ministry reported on Wednesday that the evidence pointed to leading officials at Tempbank, Imperiabank and several others cashing more than 2 billion roubles every month via inflated fees.

Several searches have yielded further evidence, including $100,000 found in a car belonging to one of the suspects.
