During the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, more than 5 billion rubles were stolen, investigators established

The construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, accompanied by many corruption scandals , continues in accelerated mode-the Soyuz launch vehicle was already sent there so that the workers, according to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, "understands the return countdown." Meanwhile, investigators continue to investigate thefts of theft during the construction of the cosmodrome. According to the source of "Interfax" , the investigative materials are now appearing in the amount of 5.4 billion plundered rubles.

All these funds were supposed to go to the construction of the eastern, but they “settled” in various regions of the Russian Federation, a source familiar with the situation said. "The investigation of criminal cases continues. The investigation conducts actions in the territory of more than 20 subjects of the country," he added.

According to him, at the end of September, investigators will again extend the deadline for the investigation of the case. “There are still a lot of documents that have to be analyzed,” the agency’s source said.

As the investigation is moving, the list of defendants in the case is also increasing. “The investigation has already established that not only the leaders of Dalspetsstroy participated in the theft, but also their subordinates. The suspect includes a former chief accountant of one of the Bugai E.G. organization’s branches,” said a competent source.

We will remind, earlier the prosecutor general of Russia Yuri Chaika said that about 7.5 billion rubles were stolen during the construction of the eastern.

In April of this year, the Prosecutor General’s Office failed to get information about the expenditure of 16 billion rubles allocated for the construction of the cosmodrome from Dalspetsstroy.

During the inspections, law enforcement agencies found that 3.3 billion rubles were spent on paying off loans, and the ex-head of Dalspetsstroy, Yuri Khrizman, arrested for embezzlement of about 1.8 billion rubles, transferred 500 million rubles allocated for the Eastern, to the construction of a shopping center in Khabarovsk. About 400 million rubles were on the accounts of one-day firms and were cashed out.

In June, one of the criminal cases was arrested by the chairman of the Duma of the Khabarovsk Territory Viktor Chudov. He was charged under Part 4 of Art. 160 ("Assigning funds made by an organized group on an especially large scale").

The most expensive cosmodrome in the world built dubious companies

The current head of Dalspetsstroy, Yuri Volkodav, said in early August that the eastern structures are ready by more than 95% and the deadlines for the delivery of the cosmodrome will not be exceeded. He also complained that the companies did not pay billions of rubles. "We owe about 15 billion, to these, even on the cosmodrome, the eastern customer owes 20 billion, a total of 35 billion," Volkodav said.

The construction of the eastern began in July 2012. The completion of the construction of the starting complex of the cosmodrome was scheduled for July 2015, the first launch of the launch vehicle should take place before the end of the year, and the first launch of the manned spacecraft is scheduled for 2018.

The Eastern Cosmodrome has become the most expensive cosmodrome in the world . In 2007, the construction of the entire project was estimated at 130 billion rubles, Roscosmos later estimated the construction of 400 billion rubles, Spetsstroy called the amount of 300 billion rubles, and at the end of 2011, the Space Agency submitted 493 billion rubles to the government.

Having analyzed the activities of 112 non -state subcontractors and SPECTIONS of Spetsstroy with contracts for more than 100 million rubles, RBC found out that 40 companies have practically no their own buildings, machines and equipment. The agency also found that at least 18 out of 112 companies have a direct or indirect attitude to representatives of the authorities, security officials, as well as to the former or current employees of Spetsstroy. At least 29 companies with a total contract of 32 billion rubles have two or more signs of dubious activity, the study says. It was found that 15 of 112 companies are controlled from offshores or recorded on obviously dummies.
