C.S. Fondy a.s. is the best known symbol of tunnelling during the period of privatisation.〔http://ceskapozice.lidovky.cz/kauza-cs-fondu-na-lavici-obzalovanych-nekdo-chybi-fbr-/tema.aspx?c=A120401_145306_pozice_62168〕 Over the course of a few days, the company – at first a normally operating business – was cannibalised by its owners, Pavel Tykač's Motoinvest.〔http://ceskapozice.lidovky.cz/pavla-tykace-uz-byznys-davno-nebavi-dbg-/tema.aspx?c=A120621_095433_pozice_70652〕 The stakeholders in the fund were thus robbed of a total of CZK 1.23 billion.〔Zdroj: http://ekonomika.idnes.cz/tykace-chteji-znovu-stihat-kvuli-cs-fondum-f2u-/ekonomika.aspx?c=A120504_1773050_ekonomika_wlk〕 == How it happened == Between 7 and 12 March 1997, representatives of Motoinvest sold off nearly all the assets of C. S. Fondy, allegedly because they wanted "cash to pay out to stakeholders".〔http://respekt.ihned.cz/c1-36077470-z-c-s-fondu-se-ztratila-vice-nez-miliarda〕 Then they "reconsidered" however and sold the right to manage this whole sum to the unknown company Austel Enterprises Ltd.〔http://respekt.ihned.cz/c1-36078500-drubez-a-detektivove〕 based in Cyprus for an amount that has remained secret to date. From this company the property rights were transferred to the Prague-based brokerage company Crassus (Tomáš Roith), which then sold them to the Russian company KosMos Ltd. on 3 March 1997.〔http://ekonom.ihned.cz/c1-19249780-dobre-zahrana-fraska〕 The company's board of directors, fund stakeholders and management only learned of the change of owner on 3 March 1997, when Prague notary Robert Hochman certified the new owner of C. S. Fondy, which was the enigmatic Moscow-based company KosMos, Ltd., represented by businessman Nikolai Trofimov. As part of the same notarial deed, representatives of KosMos Ltd. had three Czech citizens registered as the new statutory representatives of C. S. Fondy. One of them, a twenty-one-year-old unemployed youth named Václav Franta from Chrastava u Liberce, received signatory rights and power of attorney to conduct the company's transactions. The same day he made full use of it: he entered Plzeňská banka, where the fund's money was deposited, presented his newly acquired power of attorney from the representatives of KosMos Ltd. and issued an order for CZK 1.3 billion, i.e. the whole assets of C. S. Fondy, to be transferred to the account of the UK-based Ltd Swirlglen for the purchase of practically worthless shares in Příšovice poultry farms, which were not even publicly tradable.〔http://respekt.ihned.cz/c1-36078500-drubez-a-detektivove〕 The money travelled through the brokerage company Umana (the transaction was brokered by Umana brokers Josef Matoulek and Vladislav Naď) to the Prague bank Girocredit to the account of a company called Swirlglen. From there it was to be sent abroad. Girocredit found the operation so suspicious that it requested an investigation by the Finance Ministry's Financial Analytic Unit (FAU), the only body with the right to halt the transfers.〔http://respekt.ihned.cz/c1-36126210-mozna-to-byl-mohorita-ctihodnosti〕 Yet on 11 March 1997 FAU Director Jiří Kudlík approved the transfer abroad after having been visited by two representatives of Swirlglen.〔Respekt: Ticho nad loupeží v CS fondech; Str.8; 19.08.2002〕 Thus on 12 March 1997 practically the entire assets of C. S. Fondy definitively disappeared into bank accounts in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar and the USA.〔http://ceskapozice.lidovky.cz/kauza-cs-fondu-na-lavici-obzalovanych-nekdo-chybi-fbr-/tema.aspx?c=A120401_145306_pozice_62168〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C.
