Everything around is collective farm
During the implementation of national projects, the first criminal cases appeared
The Ministry of Internal Affairs announced the disclosure of the first cases related to the theft of budget funds allocated for the implementation of national projects. As sources in the ministry told Vremya Novostei, more than 1.6 million rubles were stolen. the chairman of the collective farm “Krasny Putilovets” (Kashinsky district of the Tver region) Ivan Paplevchenkov is suspected. This money was allocated to the collective farm as part of the federal target program “Social Development of Rural Development until 2010” to provide affordable housing for young professionals. Another case was brought against the rector of one of the Yaroslavl universities and his chief accountant, who are accused of appropriating apartments allocated under this program for promising employees. The damage caused by their illegal actions is estimated at 10 million rubles.The federal target program “Social Development of Rural Affairs” was adopted in 2002 to solve the problem of the outflow of the rural population to cities and improve life in the countryside. One of the objectives of the program was to attract young specialists to organizations in the agro-industrial complex (AIC).
The Krasny Putilovets collective farm has been among the recipients of the program since 2006. Its management began to enter into five-year employment contracts with young specialists and, in turn, pledged to provide them not only with stable paid work, but also with comfortable, improved housing. As a rule, these were private houses on land plots allocated for development, which also became the property of collective farm workers. The construction of houses, according to the national project, was to be carried out at the expense of the collective farm itself, but after the houses were put into operation, 30% of the costs were reimbursed from the state budget and the same amount from the regional budget.
However, in August of this year, employees of the investigative unit of the Main Directorate (SC GU) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central Federal District (CFD) discovered that “Krasny Putilovets”, instead of building houses, gave existing old buildings to young people, and money for new houses went elsewhere. then they evaporated. This circumstance served as the reason for initiating a criminal case under Art. 159-4 of the Criminal Code (fraud committed on an especially large scale through abuse of trust). The main suspect was the chairman of the collective farm, Ivan Palevchenkov.
As the investigative unit said, operatives together with the Department for Combating Economic Crimes (UBEP) of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Tver Region became interested in the activities of Mr. Palevchenkov back in early 2007. It was then that they received information that the collective farm chairman, having forged documents, had embezzled budget funds allocated for the construction of houses for the families of young specialists.
The investigation established that in September 2006, Mr. Palevchenkov submitted an application to the administration of the Tver region for the construction of four wooden houses for his employees - a milkmaid, two drivers and a machine operator. From the documents it followed that by the end of that year the houses should have been put into operation and occupied. At the same time, in the cost estimate, Mr. Paplevchenkov indicated that about 2.7 million rubles would be spent on the construction of houses from the collective farm treasury. As follows from the case materials, in December 2006, the chairman provided a package of documents: design and estimate documentation, certificates of work completed, expenses incurred and the commissioning of houses in the villages of Maslovka, 32, Putilovo, 48, Glazatovo, 34, and Strazhkovo, 40. The regional administration did not double-check this information, since they completely trusted the chairman of the collective farm. And at the end of December last year, more than 1.6 million rubles were transferred to the accounts of Krasny Putilovets.
And only after that an inspection was carried out on the collective farm, which revealed that Mr. Palevchenkov did not build any houses, but gave his employees old buildings erected in the mid-80s of the last century. The investigation established that all documents submitted to the administration were forged. In addition, it turned out that the received 1.6 million rubles. The chairman of the collective farm cashed it through the collective farm cash desk, and then registered it as a purchase of various goods in Moscow and confirmed it with invoices from eight capital companies. But the investigation found that none of these companies - Temp LLC, Vector LLC, Diamant LLC, Odyssey LLC, Intex LLC, Megatrade LLC, Baxter LLC and Kontrakt LLC "- has never been registered with the Moscow tax inspectorates. Therefore, their forms, invoices, invoices and cash receipt orders with details were recognized as fakes.
So far, no charges have been brought against the chairman of the Krasny Putilovets collective farm. But the investigation does not exclude that this will be done in the near future, and in addition, new suspects and new criminal articles may appear in the case.
And recently, the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Yaroslavl Region, as Vremya Novostey learned, opened another case concerning fraud with budget money allocated for housing to young employees of the agro-industrial complex. This time under Art. 160-4 of the Criminal Code (theft, misappropriation or embezzlement of entrusted property) was punished by the rector of the Yaroslavl Institute for Retraining and Advanced Training of management personnel and specialists of the agro-industrial complex Larisa Zadumina and the chief accountant of the institute Tatyana Razheva. As they said in the Central Federal District, the rector of the university purchased two service apartments with money allocated by the state. But, as the investigation established, she did not transfer them to young specialists, as provided for by the program, but gave them to her daughter, who is not listed as an employee of the institute, and the chief accountant. The damage, according to approximate estimates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from the actions of Zadumina and Razheva amounted to more than 10 million rubles.
