Bankers can be disqualified for life for the recurrence of violations – RIA Novosti

TULA, Feb 2 – RIA Novosti. The Bank of Russia plans to increase the period of prohibition of conducting banking activities for managers and heads of banks that brought the Bank to revoke the license, from 5 to 10 years in special cases, intends to introduce a lifetime ban for recurrent and one-time very grave violations, he told reporters the deputy chairman CB Mikhail Sukhov.

“We are implementing measures to allow the discharge of control and by the banks’ management of persons who” lit up “in other banks. Last year, we sent a demand to dismiss the leadership of 16 persons who nasozdavali major problems in the past the bank, “- said Sukhov.

This is the amendment to the law on banks and banking activities. “In total, our” black base “is now 4742 man. Their number increases in proportion to the number of banks with revoked licenses. And it is clear that these persons are now can not only hold positions in banks, they can not participate in the official control of other credit organizations “, – said the deputy chairman of the Central Bank.

” I think that there is nothing unacceptable in a lifetime ban bankers. We should go on repeating the blunders in the management of the Bank. We put the question of extending the period spent in the “black base “5 to 10 years, perhaps even at the same time to consider the possibility for the lifetime ban as an option for recurrent and one-off gross violations” minus 187.4 billion (rubles – Ed.) capital – in principle … and 10 (billion rubles – Ed.), too, enough, “- he added.

Sukhov said that when it comes to a lifetime ban, should have the opportunity to appeal the decisions. The deputy chairman of the Central Bank stressed that the scale of irregularities in the banks with revoked licenses huge. “The total amount of excess of liabilities over assets in the banks, which we withdraw the license for the past 2.5 years, the figures reached 1.2 trillion rubles, 1.9 trillion of obligations. We must understand that the scale of this disaster in the banks, which are in state license revocation are taken lightly, “- said Sukhov.

He said that the bill has already passed the first reading of the State Duma, but the Central Bank is preparing amendments. “We hope that in the spring we will be able to discuss (them – Ed.) In the State Duma,” – said Sukhov. He explained that the lifetime ban could be introduced after a ten-year period of the ban, when it ended the process of bankruptcy and appreciated the full extent of violations.
