The business ombudsman and presidential candidate Boris Titov held a meeting with his supporters in St. Petersburg on March 6. The holders of bank deposits who had lost money because of the actions of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation complained about the manipulations of the regulator with the contributions of citizens who are more like a criminal offense. The topic of the Central Bank's criminal responsibility for actions against depositors increasingly penetrates the election campaign. Titov is not the first candidate for the post of head of state, who was involved in the discussion around the loss of money by citizens because of abuse of the regulator. Interest in the problems of investors are shown in the headquarters of the candidate from the Communist Party Pavel Grudinina.

Titov himself has already spoken out in favor of deceived investors, characterizing the Central Bank's mopping up of the banking sector in recent years as "killing" and noting the need to create levers of pressure on the regulator.

Earlier, the deceived depositors of Tatfondbank and Intechbank held a picket on the day of the visit to Kazan of the incumbent president of Russia Vladimir Putin, who is considered the favorite of the pre-election race.

They blame the collapse of financial institutions of the Central Bank and the government. Tatfondbank's clients assert that the regulator withdrew from it 15 billion rubles on the eve of the collapse and did not help the affected depositors.

Recently the collection of signatures of depositors under the appeal to Putin was completed with a request to call Elvira Nabiullina's department to account. Affected owners of deposits suspect the head and top management of the Central Bank in committing crimes using official position.
