Subscription about the wonness of the loss was taken from Serdyukov

Ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, suspected of building the Zhitniy camp site in the Astrakhan region, was released after interrogation in the Investigative Committee of the Nizhnya of Visit. This was announced by the head of the press service of the Investigation Department Vladimir Markin.

Serdyukov did not admit his guilt during the interrogation and refused to testify, referring to Article 51 of the Constitution, which allows not to testify against himself. However, Markin noted, "the investigation even without the testimony of the suspect has a sufficient amount of evidence, which confirm the direct involvement of the ex-minister in illegal actions."

The official has not yet been charged with an official accusation - this is supposed to be done in the near future. Markin did not exclude that the actions of the Minister upon charge or during further investigation will be re -qualified from part 1 of Article 293 of the Criminal Code (negligence) to another.

For the first time, Markin announced the possibility of retraining on Friday . At that time, he also did not specify which article to Serdyukov can be imputed instead of the 293rd. Then the press secretary of the Investigative Committee said that the charge of the former minister will be charged 10 days after the first interrogation.

The fact that the case was open against Serdyukov became known on November 28. According to the investigation, being as a minister, Serdyukov orally instructed his subordinates to build a road road to the Zhitniy recreation center at the expense of the military department. In addition, by order, work was carried out on the arrangement of the territory of the "Live". At the same time, any administrative documents, orders or directives that would justify the spending of budget funds or establish legal rights of the Ministry of Defense to the road, were not issued.

"The landscaping was carried out by the fighters -carriers of the aviation unit, and the railway troops were built by the road. That is, instead of the service and training of military affairs, some soldiers were engaged in the landing of poplars in the Astrakhan steppe, while others laying the railway tracks, but roads. As a result, the road was built that only owners and visitors to the private property object of the Zhodnoye, - It was said in the message of the damage to the state is estimated in the amount of over 56 million rubles.

On November 6, Kommersant said that the Investigative Committee extended the term of the investigation in the case of the improvement of the recreation center "Life" at the expense of the Ministry of Defense. Unlike four dozen other cases included in the so -called basic case of OJSC OPENSService, this is the only criminal case, directly concerns Serdyukov’s witness. Its role in large -scale theft of real estate, land and shares of the Ministry of Defense is not obvious. Other accused testimonies do not give the former head of the defense department and he is considered misleading subordinates. In the case of Zhitniy, all witnesses, on the contrary, argued that improvement was carried out on his personal initiative. It is also obvious that the beneficiary of the abuse of the former official was his close relative Valery Puzikov.

The case of abuse of authority, according to Article 285 of the Criminal Code, during the improvement of the recreation center "Life" in the Astrakhan region in the Main Military Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee, could be terminated in September this year. As previously reported, the reason for this was the decision of the owners of the non -profit partnership of LLC LLC, who owned the base of the same name (the husband of the sister Anatoly Serdyukov Puzikova and his partner Arthur Pozov) to transfer their property to the state autonomous institutions of the Ministry of Defense - the Greek military artists and the Central Museum of Armored Weapons and Technology in Moscow Region Kubinka. Thus, the object worth about 150 million rubles was returned to the army department, and therefore, the property damage of the Ministry of Defense inflicted during its improvement is repaid.

However, having studied the evidence collected by subordinates, the first deputy head of the GVSU of the Investigative Committee, Sergei Bedin, decided that the investigation should not be stopped, but activated. General Bedin considered the statement of allegedly extinguished damage in connection with the change of owners of LLC LLC, since the base passed to the autonomous institutions of the Ministry of Defense, but not to the Army Department itself, which paid for its improvement. In addition, according to the general, the investigation itself was not fully carried out. In particular, all military service soldiers who participated in improvement were not interviewed. As a result, the investigation in the case was extended until January 17, 2014, and in total - up to one year.

This criminal case was opened on January 17, 2013. It was investigated in parallel with loud criminal cases of large -scale thefts of property and funds of the Ministry of Defense through the structures of OJSC Oboronservis.

According to the investigation, in the summer of 2011, the Ministry of Defense on their own and at their own expense landed the Zhitniy camp site - a closed commercial object, focused exclusively on the organization of rest and fishing with premium services. In this way, the investigation previously estimated the financial damage to the Ministry of Defense at 15.5 million rubles. The case was initiated against the "unidentified officials of the Ministry of Defense."
