A criminal case has been instituted against the company Novosibirskenergo on the fact of violations of the law in the formation of tariffs for electric and thermal energy in the Novosibirsk region.

During the investigation on July 22, 2004, Novosibirskenergo to Korney Gibert, who was suspected of damaging the state in the amount of 72 million rubles, was charged under Article 165 of Part 3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "causing property damage by deception or abuse in the absence of signs of an organized group."
