The new persons involved in the case of Oboronservis are accused of leasing non -existent cars

The corruption scandal with the Russian Ministry of Defense is replenished with all new things and figures. This time, the chief accountant and former head of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "St. Petersburg Engineering and Technical Center for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation" were suspected of fraud and theft. The new defendants in the case of Oboronservice Irina Petukhova and Valery Sedov are accused of leasing non -existent vehicles and in fraud with the contracts of the Ministry of Defense. The court has already decided to arrest both, Interfax reports.

The Khamovnican Court chose a preventive measure for chief accountant Irina Petukhova - she took into custody until July 19. The woman has several accusations. First of all, she is suspected of embezzlement of money transferred in the form of payment for renting cars.

"Petukhova, being in the position of chief accountant, transferred 10 million rubles under the guise of banking for companies for companies that supposedly were supposed to provide vehicles for the organization," the investigator said. According to him, in particular, the company fictitiously renting a Toyota Land Cruiser brand. The numbers of the car specified in the documents were long deregistered, but it was installed in the traffic police only now.

According to Life News , Valeria Sedov is also suspected of fictitious lease. The money was transferred to the rent of 560 cars of the Ministry of Defense - from luxury foreign cars to Kamazov - for six million each. According to the publication, in fact, the cars were rented by the "center" from the department, to which it belongs. Also, according to investigators, being the general director of the enterprise, Sedov illegally wrote out bonuses in the amount of more than 200 million rubles.

Petukhov is also accused of contributing to a temporary employment for the position of secretary referent to the engineering and technical center of the daughter of her friend. However, the girl did not do the job. “This girl did not fulfill any obligations, and her salary went to the account belonging to Petukhova, as a result of which 1.5 million rubles were received at the Petukhova account,” the investigation emphasized.

The accused in court denied the charges. “I do not quite agree with the charge. We sent 10 million not to the Stroy resource account, but to the Tver Bank account. As for the salary, she went to the technical needs of the enterprise. This girl worked at the enterprise, then left, and then returned,” the suspect said.

According to the investigation, the accused "tried to prevent proceedings in the criminal case." According to the investigator, they hid documents under contracts with companies that provided auto supply to the center. Petukhova also asked that her friend’s daughter would give obviously false testimonies that she worked in the company.

In total, two large -scale criminal cases associated with abuse in the structures of the Ministry of Defense are in the production of the SK - a criminal case of theft in OJSC Oboronservice and OJSC Slavyanka. Recall that both things continue to be replenished with new episodes, but recently the number of volumes of the Oboronservis case has been growing. In October 2012, it became known about the investigation of the facts of large theft in this enterprise, controlled by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. At the moment, seven episodes that are united in one proceeding appear in the criminal case. We are talking about 14 property objects. The total damage caused to the state is estimated at 6.7 billion rubles, but the amount may increase.
