buctootim Posted 25 November, 2011 Share Posted 25 November, 2011 Antonov is charged with misappropriation and forging documents to cover up his theft, the court heard. Baranauskas is accused of misappropriation, false accounting, abuse of an official position and forgery. They could face up to 10 years in prison in Lithuania if they are convicted of stealing the money, the court was told. 10 years for stealing £1.3 billion, probably serve between 4 and 6 years. Hmm, quite tempting imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 25 November, 2011 Share Posted 25 November, 2011 I do find it a little strange. He has to pay a security of £75,000 when as much $1.3 billion has disappeared. Hmmmm. Now just suppose he has got all of it squirrelled away (which I am sure he hasn't well not until the court case says so), 10 years in prison or find your way to a country wit no extradition and kiss good by to £75k while enjoying $1.3bn. That's before his "wealth" of, what was it, £300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baranauskas is accused of misappropriation, false accounting, abuse of an official position and forgery. They could face up to 10 years in prison in Lithuania if they are convicted of stealing the money, the court was told. The pair, who were dressed in dark blue suits over open-necked shirts, both said they did not consent to being extradited to Lithuania. The court heard that both men had arranged that they would voluntarily be arrested by the Metropolitan Police on November 30 in connection with the Lithuanian authorities’ investigation, and were taken by surprise when City of London Police held them yesterday. Rachel Scott, defending Antonov, said the Russian businessman had longstanding ties to Britain. He was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 2005 and his wife and two young children live with him in Notting Hill. “He strenuously denies dishonesty in any of his dealings as regards the bank,” Ms Scott said. District Judge Caroline Tubbs granted both men conditional bail. Antonov must pay a security of £75,000, surrender his passport, live and sleep at his London home, and report to Notting Hill police station between 8am and 10am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Baranauskas was released on condition that Antonov’s wife puts up surety of £250,000 for him and that he surrenders his passport, lives at the address in Kent and reports to Bromley police station daily between 8am and 10am. The next hearing will be at the same court on December 16. Earlier, Pompey co-owner Roman Dubov spoke briefly to The News outside the City of Westminster magistrates court, saying: ‘I am trying to save the business and help a lot of people in employment.’ He appeared to be referring to, but did not specifically name, Convers Sports Initiatives, which bought Pompey earlier this year. Later, he told a journalist from a Lithuanian paper: ‘Antonov’s arrest - we are all very much affected and are trying to save the business.’ Antonov was arrested in London yesterday after a European arrest warrant was issued by the Lithuanian authorities after the collapse of the Snoras bank, in which he is a major shareholder.

Dark Munster Posted 25 November, 2011 Share Posted 25 November, 2011 Blimey, I go away for a couple of days, and come back to the thread which is now longer than a Stephen King novel (and more scary - for the few). I'm glad I'm not attending a funeral in the foreseeable future - it would be hard to keep a straight face while my thoughts keep going back to the plight of the Cheats. Anyway, to any skates reading this thread, don't despair. You may have lost Vladimir Aintgotapenny, but at least you've still got Roman Dubious. He certainly looks much more honest than Vlad. I know I wouldn't hesitate to buy a used car from him. But seriously, I never understood why they would not have one, but two dodgy owners. But now I do. It was so they could have a spare one in case the other got nicked. You have to admire their foresight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 25 November, 2011 Share Posted 25 November, 2011 Ah, well I'm back. so yep as promised I got the entire bar to Toast poopey. And completely randomly 1) I did not sing The Buggles at karaoke tonight - got called up for The Monkees Day Dream Believer 2) I managed to stay in key all the way through 3) Last night Michael Bolton was in Concert here in Dubai 4) he made an appearance (you are KIDDING ME - not) and sang How am I supposed to live without poopey (almost) 5) He came third behind yours truly I don't think anything in amongst all of that is any less remarkable any longer after the past couple of days.

Like Phil said yesterday, it's turning out to be more of a punishment watching them glide downwards like a chicken with one wing clipped. The blue phew get what seems to be a lifeline, only for each one to be identified afterwards as a brick around their ankles. It will be a slow, but painful retribution - almost as if the football authorities could claim to have done everything they could for plucky old Pompey...whilst overseeing that their decline was complete without the publicity of turning off the lights directly.

Channon's Sideburns Posted 26 November, 2011 Share Posted 26 November, 2011 The good thing about the piece on Solent was also that they made it perfectly clear that Antonov had 75% ownership of CSI, and therefore 75% of Poopey. Not only that but he's Chairman apparently.

Seriously though - when you look at the figures (even though they are 'finger in the air' good guesses), it does look pretty bleak for them trying to run solvently. Not even considered other running costs such as non-playing staff, match costs, policing and the like. Personally I think they will be fine this season, look at Birmingham - thier owner is in the clink and it hasn't derailed them at all. Come next season though - the fat lady might start limbering up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
