Police seize 40 mln rbls from suspects in warship repair fraud case
MOSCOW, July 29 (Itar-Tass) - Police searched the apartments of the
suspects in a warship repair fraud case, seizing 40 million roubles, an
official at the Main Military Prosecutor's Office (GVP) told Itar-Tass on
Thursday.
On Thursday, Chief Military Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky chaired a
conference which addressed anti-corruption fight.
"More than 260 million roubles allocated for repairs of the heavy
missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky were stolen by the director of the SPTB
Zvyozdochka. What motivates the businessman is clear, as searches at his
apartment and the apartments of his accomplices found cash, including hard
currency, worth over 40 million roubles. The money was confiscated," the
GVP official said.
"The investigators are yet to determine what guided the Defense
Ministry officials when they were concluding a contract with an unlicensed
firm, and the motives of the Fleet command as they were signing fictitious
acts on accepting works," he added.
Northern Fleet prosecutors earlier ascertained that in the spring of
2010, the Defense Ministry concluded several contracts with the
Zvyozdochka Special Production/Technological Basis (SPTB) for repairs of
the Pyotr Veliky cruiser, and maintenance of a Northern Fleet submarine.
The Ministry issued acceptance certificates from July through November
2010 and transferred more than 356 million roubles to its accounts. But a
check found that the company had failed to complete 265 million roubles of
works.
Earlier, a criminal case over grand fraud was opened against
Zvyozdochka SPTB director general Fyodor Barashko. The Investigative
Committee then opened a case over negligence against head of the Defense
Ministry's office 1118, Captain 2nd class Vitaly Vagis, and a case against
commander of the Pyotr Veliky's electromechanical department Captain 1st
class Vladimir Tayakin over exceeding of office powers and causing grave
consequences. Both officers put their signatures on the fictitious work
acceptance certificates.
