It is incorrect to mention the President of Udmurtia in connection with the Grodetsky case
The statement of the investigator, made on Thursday in court in the case of the ex-head of Izhmash Vladimir Grodetsky and concerning the President of Udmurtia Alexander Volkov, is puzzling, the press secretary of the head of the region, Viktor Chulkov, told the Interfax agency.
“The statement of the investigator in the case of Vladimir Grodetsky, made by him on April 11, 2013 in the Tverskoy Court of Moscow, causes complete bewilderment. Firstly, the President of Udmurtia did not communicate with any investigator either before or after the arrest of Vladimir Grodetsky, and learned about the arrest itself from reports from federal news agencies,” said V. Chulkov.
“Secondly, the President of Udmurtia, due to his duty of service, is familiar not only with Vladimir Grodetsky, but also with all the heads of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises of the republic. And it is at least incorrect to mention the President of Udmurtia in connection with the case of Vladimir Grodetsky,” the press secretary emphasized .
V. Chulkov also recalled that “it was A. Volkov who repeatedly raised the issue of removing Grodetsky from his position to the management of the Russian Technologies state corporation.”
