Preliminary hearings began in the case of Evgenia Vasilyeva

In the Presnensky District Court of Moscow, preliminary hearings began in the case of the former head of the Department of Property Relations of the Ministry of Defense Yevgenia Vasilyeva, said RAPSI. The meeting, as it should be according to the law, is held closed. The case is conducted by Judge Tatyana Vasyuchenko.

At the meeting, the defense of Vasilyeva demanded that the prosecutor’s office return to the prosecutor’s office, her lawyer Hassan-Ali Borokov said. "We filed a motion to return the case to the prosecutor to re -re -ify the indictment," he said. At the same time, Borokov did not specify that it was not suitable for defense in the indictment.

In addition, the defense made four more petitions, including changing the preventive measure in the form of house arrest for any other, not related to isolation, as well as the exclusion of a number of evidence. The court announced a break to Wednesday so that the prosecutor’s office could prepare an answer to them.

The indictment in the case of Vasilyeva was approved on June 16 . Other defendants in the case are the general director of the Prioritum company Irina Egorova, ex-GENTER Director of OboronStroy Larisa Egorina, former deputy director of the 31st State Project Institute of Special Construction Yuri Grekhnev, ex-governor of the District Material Warehouse of the Moscow Air Force District Maxim Zakutayilo and the former general director of the Center for Legal Support, Expert Ekaterina Smetanov.

Vasilyeva was charged with 12 episodes qualified under Articles 159 (fraud), 174.1 (laundering of money), 201 (abuse of powers) and 286 Criminal Code (abuse of authority). The former official does not admit his fault.

According to the Investigative Committee, Vasilieva, using an official position, organized the sale at a low price of real estate, shares and other property of Oboronservis. The accused personally disposed of these assets through the companies controlled by it. In addition, the investigation department says, Vasilieva received millions of rubles in cash from proxies who were responsible for washing the stolen money. The total damage from the actions of the former official, according to the TFR, exceeds 3 billion rubles.

In May, it became known that the former official testified against the ex-Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov, who was previously accused of negligence as part of the same case and was amnesty. As the lawyer Vasilyeva reported, she told the investigation that she made transactions at Serdyukov. In this regard, the TFR did not exclude the re -initiation of the case against the former minister for newly discovered circumstances. Nevertheless, on June 9, it became known that the main military prosecutor's office completely closed the case of Serdyukov .
