The Oktyabrsky District Court of Novosibirsk completed the trial in the case of 30-year-old politician and businessman Alexei Borisek. In the fall of 2012, investigative authorities opened a case against him for the theft of almost 800 thousand rubles. budget funds allocated for holding the district stage of the All-Russian Youth Innovation Convention in 2010 (it was held as part of the Interra innovation forum). The case was investigated under Part 3 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”). With the sanction of the court, employees of the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Novosibirsk Region conducted a search in Mr. Borisek’s apartment. On the loggia, according to the case file, detectives found several boxes of ammunition for rifled sporting weapons of 5.6 mm caliber (152 rounds in total).

Investigators separated the case of storage of ammunition (Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) into a separate proceeding. True, it was not possible to find out the origin of the cartridges. The young politician claimed that the ammunition did not belong to him, but that he rented the apartment. In addition, he is not the only one living in this living space. Subsequently, he completely refused to testify, using Art. 51 of the Constitution. The operatives who conducted the search claimed that Alexey Borisek explained to them: the cartridges were left over from the competition in 2000. The politician, it is indicated in the case materials, trained in the shooting club of the city of Yurga (he lived there before moving to Novosibirsk) and achieved good success - he received the first category. As a result, the judge indicated in the verdict that the cartridges were purchased “at an unspecified time, in a place not established by the inquiry, under unknown circumstances from an unidentified person.”

As senior assistant prosecutor of the Oktyabrsky district Sergei Demin told Kommersant, Mr. Borisek was given a one-year suspended sentence with a similar probationary period. In addition, the young politician was fined 10 thousand rubles. It is still unknown whether the defense will appeal the verdict. The consideration of the main case against Alexey Borisek - fraud with budget funds - began this week in the Central District Court.
