The Communist Party asks to check for corruption the replacement of tiles in Moscow

The Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, State Duma deputy Valery Rashkin appealed to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Federal Antimonopoly Service with a request to conduct a check for corruption due to large -scale replacement of paving slabs, asphalt and borders in Moscow, RIA Novosti reports.

Rashkin sent a deputy request to the Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika and the head of the FAS Igor Artemyev. He claims that the tiles, asphalt and acceptable borders in Moscow in the midst of a large -scale crisis of the Russian economy, which hit, in particular, for socially not protected sections of the population, are changing for very high amounts, suitable for further use.

"The indicated actions may contain signs of not only the extreme inefficiency of the spending of budget funds, but also presumably corruption. I ask you to verify the stated media information and take measures provided for by current legislation," the request said.

Rashkin also notes that in early August, the metropolitan council with reference to the city hall posted information on its official sites, according to which Moscow begins the implementation of the My Street program, which provides for the replacement of asphalt, as well as the paving tiles with a new one - twice as wider and three times longer than the standard. "

In April 2015, it became known about the plans of the Moscow City Hall for the overhaul of pavements. Then the media reported that granite borders would be installed inside the garden ring - “as it was historically,” and beyond its borders, new concrete, he writes.
