Markus Larisa



Larisa Ivanovna Markus (born November 14, 1957), sister of businessman Georgy Bedzhamov. In 1980 she graduated from the Moscow Technological Institute of the Food Industry. 

In 1994, she participated in the creation of Vneshprombank, as its shareholder and permanent president. Vneshprombank received a serious impulse for development by winning a tender for servicing Transneft in 2009. After that, despite the crisis, the bank entered the top hundred, and in 2013 - the top 50 in terms of assets of Russian banks. Since 2006, Marcus had been the president of the bank. 

In December 2015, Larisa Markus was detained on charges of fraud in the investigation of the cases of withdrawal of funds and bankruptcy of Vneshprombank, which became the largest in the latest banking history of Russia: its financial "hole" amounted to more than 210 billion rubles. According to the investigation, the top managers of the bank created an organized criminal group to steal 932.1 million rubles. Larisa Markus was sentenced to 9 years in prison.
