Bankruptcy for own benefit // the Kommersant Saint Petersburg Legal Forum. Supplement No. 102 dated 18.06.2014, page 26

Maximal Legal senior lawyer, the head of dispute resolution, Sergei Bakeshin, gave his expert commentary to the Kommersant on premeditated bankruptcy of organizations and possible penalties for this crime:  

"It is not a rare thing that receivers discover formal signs of premeditated bankruptcy.  The rare thing is criminal proceedings entailed by discovering of such signs.  Speaking about number of such criminal cases brought to court and verdicts of guilty delivered in respect thereof, it is so vanishingly small that can be deemed inaccuracy. Unfortunately, a pilferer who has stolen several thousand roubles should fear criminal liability more than a businessman guilty in premeditated bankruptcy who caused damage in the amount of several billion roubles to his creditors" - the lawyer sums up.
