In the trial in the criminal case of the former mayor of Yoshkar-Ola Pavel Plotnikov, who is accused of illegal entrepreneurship and receiving a bribe, on July 6, the debate ended. The defense called the arguments of the prosecutors far -fetched, Plotnikov himself spoke about the political component of the criminal case considered. Details - in the report of the correspondent " 7x7 ".
The position of the state prosecution
Representatives of the state prosecution prepared for the debate more than 100 pages of documents in which they set out their interpretation of the words of witnesses who performed at the court. The prosecutors began to read out the text on July 5 after lunch, but at about 19 o’clock the judge postponed the meeting the next day. The performance of representatives of the state prosecution also took the whole first half of the day on July 6.
According to the prosecutor Nikolai Gudkov, "as a rule, corruption crimes, which include the criminal case of the former mayor of Yoshkar-Ola, are not so interesting for listeners, in their routine they are banal and boring, do not cause interest to society." But Plotnikov’s criminal case became the subject of disputes in society and in the media. He specified:
- There are relevant articles that distort the evidence and conclusions of the investigation beyond recognition. There is no worse for justice, when public opinion is preceded by public opinion, which, as a rule, is artificially manipulated, it comes down to the opinion of individuals who do not know details.
The position of the prosecution, which was introduced by the prosecutors of the Gudkov and Ganeyev, practically did not change during the process. In the beginning of 2005, Plotnikov, who was then the deputy committee for the management of municipal property, headed the department of accounting and demarcation of land resources, wanted to “secretly” to manage the regional managing company (hands) with the participation of the proxy of Turoev (entrepreneur Alexander Turotnikov testified to Pavel Plotnikov when he was under investigation on charges of organizing attempts on him now; now he is now He is serving a sentence in a colony of general regime, the court sentenced him to nine years in prison). According to the prosecutors, the ex-official provided this company with benefits, the advantage, and carried out general protection. According to prosecutors, Plotnikov organized the activities of a commercial enterprise for renting premises. He could influence the head and founder of the company “Hands” by Vladimir Zhuravlev, who later handed it to the new owners. Plotnikov, “suggested to Turuev to become a general director for managing the enterprise and having arrived personally to himself and Plotnikov.” Turuyev became the owner of the company, the second co-founder of "Plotnikov picked up the proxy-Solovyov, who did not have the intention to actually participate in the management of the enterprise and any property claims based on the results of entrepreneurial activity."
After that, the prosecutors believe, Plotnikov actually led the company. The prosecutors assigned such actions to reconstruct the reconstruction of the shopping center rented by the company with violations of the development rules and the too low coefficient when determining the fee to the city treasury for the rental of the building.
The profit that the “regional management company received” was distributed between the founders. According to the state prosecution, the recipient of Solovyov’s share was carpenters.
At the end of 2011, Plotnikov, who held the post of first deputy mayor of Yoshkar-Ola, “from selfish motives, an intent arose to carry out entrepreneurial activity through an unspoken institution of LLC“ Capital-Stroy ”and participation in its management through proxies, with the provision of benefits, advantages and general patronage using official powers”, representatives of the prosecutor's office said.
According to them, just as in the case of the “hands”, Pavel Plotnikov ruled the activities of the “capital-Stroy”. He gave instructions on participating in auctions to determine the tenants of land for construction, took measures to ensure that there was no real competition at the auction, was interested in the construction of the construction and determined the price of the sale of apartments. Representatives of the state prosecution several times said that “Plotnikov did not take measures for the enforcement of rent from the enterprise”, that he promised Turuev (as obviously, he said at a closed court hearing the Alexander Turuev himself) not to take a rent from him and even called for not paying it.
The prosecutors again talked about episodes with bribes. On the land on the street. The Red Army Plotnikov demanded that Turuev for assistance in registering a building permit to transfer two garages to him and arrange them for his wife’s mother Nadezhda Pashkov (she was also the co-founder of the Capital-Stroy). Plotnikov invited Turuev to convey another bribe in the form of a garage when he found out that the entrepreneur was going to build them on Volkova Street. The ownership of this garage of Turuev also had to be issued on Pashkov.
Representatives of the state prosecution believe that the testimony of the wife of the accused Oksana Plotnikova is not true. They said that they doubt their reliability. In addition, "Plotnikova for a long time evaded the investigation organs."
At the last meeting, it turned out that Pavel Plotnikov proposed to carry out his own interrogation using a “lies detector”, but the investigation refused him this. The ex-mayor said that he proposed to check on the polygraph the testimony of the chief witness of Alexander Turuev. Representatives of the state prosecution noted that the former deputy mayor (under Plotnikov), the head of the Municipal Property Management Committee, Olga Lobko, refused to proposal the investigation to undergo a polygraph test.
What punishment for Plotnikov asks the state prosecution
The representative of the prosecutor’s office, Mari El Olga Ganeyeva, asked the court to recognize Pavel Plotnikov guilty and deprive him of the episodes of receiving bribes for 13 years. According to the accusations of illegal entrepreneurship, the statute of limitations expired. She believes that punishment should be served in a maximum security colony.
The prosecutor asked Plotnikov for 34 million rubles, to prohibit him to occupy for 10 years the post in the state and municipal service, to deprive him of the class rank of municipal service “Acting Municipal Advisor of the 1st Class”, the honorary title “Honored Lawyer of the Republic of Mari El”. Garage on the street. Volkova, 206a (registered with Nadezhda Pashkov), it is necessary to confiscate and transfer to the property of the state, says Ganeyeva. The prosecutor demands to recover from Pavel Plotnikov for garages on the street. Krasnoarmeyskaya 987 thousand rubles. In addition, you need to keep the arrest on the Toyota Landcruiser car and the Pashkova apartment in the house on the street. Volkova.
What did Pavel Plotnikov say
“I am very glad that we reached the judicial debate,” Pavel Plotnikov began his speech. - My criminal prosecution has been actively conducted for 32 months. I really liked this composition of the public prosecution. But I probably agree that Plotnikov’s case is a resonant matter. The city leader has never been accused of such crimes. These are issues related to corruption, with illegal entrepreneurship, with receiving bribes in the form of three garages. This is a resonant matter. But I think that it will be resonant not because this is a Corruption of Plotnikov. This is an unprecedented criminal case that is explicitly custom -made.
The former mayor recalled several other criminal cases, which for several years initiated him. All of them were closed. Pavel Plotnikov called the customer of all criminal cases against himself the former head of the administration of the head of Mari El, ex-first deputy chairman of the Government of the Republic Dmitry Turchina:
- He probably now rubs his hands and thinks that by the end everything is coming, Plotnikova was asked to land for 13 years, and he would probably regret that he was simply not killed in due time. No, this will not happen. I believe that I proved and will prove further my innocence in these criminal cases.
According to the ex-official, Dmitry Turchine pursues the only goal-to defend his own business interests. The “empire” of Turchin included Mari concrete, the regional managing company, the capital-Stroy, the company Stroitel, the White Bear and a number of other companies, the accused said. All these organizations conducted entrepreneurial activity outside the law, says Plotnikov. They acted with violations, did not pay taxes, rents, destroyed municipal roads.
“The whole conflict arose when I refused to serve the interests of firms that have actually belonged to Turchin,” said Pavel Plotnikov. - did not exchange the interests of the city. This story is not over. Turuev “ordered” me, threatened to kill me and my loved ones. There is a continuation of this story that we observe. I was always outraged why the power structures of the republic were involved in this. The fact is that Dmitry Iosifovich Turchin as the Minister of State Property Mari El in 2007 carried out a massive privatization of the state property of the republic. Bypassing the law on privatization. The schemes were the simplest: transferred to the economic maintenance of the premises, on the same day they evaluated and sold to interested parties. The amounts were tens, or even hundreds of times underestimated. I will give one example that many know. About the sale of a non -residential building on Sovetskaya Street at the intersection with Pushkin Street. This building belonged to the treasury of the republic, it was the Ministry of Health Mari El, and after it a museum. It was estimated and sold for 87 thousand rubles. Its area is 700 square meters. Sold as building materials, that is, 100 rubles per square meter. Direct transaction, without auction. The buyer is a well -known company, "Television company 12 region." The market value of the building at that time was 35 million rubles. The cost of the land is 25 million. Damage to the treasury of the republic from this transaction amounted to 60 million rubles. Why do I know that? It was originally planned that my wife would appreciate this building, but she refused to do it. And there were hundreds of such transactions. The damage was a billion rubles. There is data on these transactions in the prosecutor's office of the republic and in the Investigative Committee. They do not specifically initiate criminal cases on these facts. Why? The answer is obvious. Because the high -ranking employees of the Mari El prosecutor’s office, such as Voronchikhin, Kondratyev (First Deputy and Deputy Prosecutor of Mari El), their relatives, before that the prosecutor of Mari El was Ryumshin - they were affiliated in these transactions. They covered them. And they still do not investigate these criminal facts. I really hope that in connection with the change in the prosecutor of the republic, the head of the Investigative Committee on Mari El, a legal assessment of these acts will still be given.
The defendant said that the authorities of the republic since 2002 have not changed the assessment of the cadastral value of land and objects in republican property. The cost of renting land and objects was significantly lower than in the city where objects were estimated at market value. And again, Plotnikov cited as an example of the former head of the administration of the head of Mari El:
- Why? Because everyone had their own business. There, Turchin, 25 thousand for two hectares of land on Lake Karas paid. Everything is fine. No violations, this is the "honest" person!
Pavel Plotnikov said that in the regional media, a “dirty campaign, whose customers were Turchin and Turushev, were unleashed before his resignation. He recalled that he set out a position on his persecution in letters to the President of Russia.
- When the process began, how many representatives of the press were? - the accused asked a question. - Did I invite? There were five people. How much? Almost no one. Why? Because they banned: do not write about Plotnikov-corruption. He must sit. And I will not sit in any case. I will protect myself and my family by all legal ways.
Plotnikov repeated several times that he defended the interests of the city. However, he does not consider himself an ideal person. He rejected the accusation that he abused his position, moving along the service ladder.
The former mayor of Yoshkar-Ola believes that the testimony of witnesses did not confirm the version of the prosecution. True, two more of them confirmed the version of Alexander Turuev. These testimonies were given by the nephew of the entrepreneur Nikolai Mursatov (“the interested person and participant in all Turuay frauds - gives evidence and changes them every time”) and Nadezhda Tsurkan, a lawyer working in the companies of Turuyev (“still maintains close relations with the Turuev family”).
Pavel Plotnikov said about the business of her mother -in -law Pashkova that she conducted it on her own and did not receive any preferences from the city. Her property is the former pioneer camp and the Shelangush base in the Zvenigovsky district.
The defendant said that his wife "for nine months traveled to other people's cities with children - from bandits, corrupt security officials." According to him, she now, when he gives testimony, took the children "away, just in case."
“And the mother -in -law is well done,” Plotnikov praised. - There is nothing to go here. I honestly don't know where she is. Because at first they will put it, they will keep for three years, and she is sixty -seven years old. So that she died here? And then they will come up with criminal cases.
At the end of his speech, Pavel Plotnikov said that he was always offended that he was being held for a “some corrupt official”:
“I'm glad that everything approaches some logical end,” he said. -I will take all actions dependent on me so as not to denigrate the post of mayor of Yoshkar-Ola. The trust that the deputies and residents of the city expressed me, I will justify. If someone believes that I finished the carder, this is the beginning of a big journey. This is a test that must be passed in order to move on.
Plotnikov turned to the judge - he expressed the hope that Fedor Artyushov would be impartial and make a decision on the basis of the law.
- I believe you, to the law. I will respect any decision you make. From my own person I ask a legal, fair decision and justify me, ”the accused ex-mayor asked.
The judge closed the meeting and announced a break until September 6, when a decision on the case will be announced.
The court in the case of Pavel Plotnikov began on September 13 last year. The ex-mayor of Yoshkar-Ola is accused of illegal entrepreneurship and receiving three garages in the form of a bribe. After the completion of the judicial investigation, the state prosecution excluded from their final conclusion episodes regarding Plotnikov’s involvement in illegal entrepreneurship - in December last year, the statute of limitations expired. Representatives of the prosecutor's office requested the maximum possible punishment for Plotnikov on episodes regarding a bribe. They asked the court to deprive the accused of freedom for 13 years, send him to a maximum security colony and fined 34 million rubles.
