Counting Chamber: The construction of the Zenit stadium is carried out with violations

The Accounts Chamber revealed violations during the construction of the Zenit stadium in St. Petersburg. This is stated in the report compiled by the department based on the results of the audit. Violations relate to the transfer to the city budget of funds proceeds from the sale of the materials of the Kirov stadium, on the site of which Zenit is being built.

Inappropriate storage of 63 thousand chairs for spectators with a total value of 287 million rubles is noted. In addition, it was established that in 2006-2008, work was carried out without a building permit, and in 2010-2012-without approved project documentation.

The expenditure of another 3.7 billion rubles of the inspection could not be checked.
