MOSCOW: Bank of Moscow received the largest bailout in Russian banking history on Friday after a hostile takeover bid by VTB revealed a gaping hole in the books of Russia's fifth largest bank.

The US$14bil rescue package was bigger than expected and followed a central bank review on Bank of Moscow's books that found bad loans totalling US$9bil, or nearly a third of its assets.

VTB accused the former Bank of Moscow management, led by Andrei Borodin, of “fraudulent lending”, and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin demanded a criminal probe. - Reuters
