“Yurchenko did not give me instructions”: Shilokhovostov spoke on the side of protection

In the court in the case of the ex-governor of the Novosibirsk region Vasily Yurchenko, one of the key witnesses of the defense was interrogated-the head of the Department of Property and Land Relations of the region Roman Shilokhvostov. He stated that Yurchenko did not give him instructions on making a transaction with a complex on 54 Chaplygin, and for the first time the initiative to sell this site was nominated in 2006 under the governor Viktor Tolokonsky.

The next meeting took place on July 3. According to the investigation, in 2010, Vasily Yurchenko instructed to sell the property complex at Chaplygin by the Tactics at Chaplygin, which caused damage to 17.7 million rubles of Gaztransky OJSC, 100% of which owned the region. Another 4.3 million rubles from the transaction did not receive the regional budget. The case of abuse of powers has been considered in the Central District Court since November 2015, several former high -ranking officials have been interrogated.

Now the time has come to the head of the Department of Property and Land Relations. The interrogation began the lawyer of the ex-governor Alexander Balyan. He asked Shilokhvostov, whose appointment considers the accusation to be determined by plans for the sale of the site: “Is your invitation to the post of head of the department with the need to make a property transaction on Chaplygin, 54?” “No, of course, no,” the member of the regional government answered in surprise.

According to the witness Shilokhvostov, the appeal on the coordination of the sale of the site from its owner of Gaztransky OJSC was received in December 2010. CEO Pavel Sharapov justified the need for a transaction by the fact that Gorvodokanal “evicted” an enterprise from the old office, and money was needed for a new one. It was planned to get from the sale of the site on 54 Chaplygin Street. Sharapov also asked for a loan to solve this problem, but he was denied due to the presence of non -core property in the enterprise, which can be sold.

In addition to evaluating the site, the head of the property of the Novosibirsk Region requested an examination due to the fact that they wanted to sell the land back in 2006, but the value indicated in the old contract was less than 6 million rubles proposed in 2010. This deal was terminated by the arbitration court in 2009. Shilokhvostov said that only self -regulatory NPOs, in which the appraiser, and not the department or the Federal Property Management Agency, where the witness was addressed, could be carried out by law. Experts made “Technical Calles”, but they were eliminated.

The lawyer of the Balyan requested the provision of Shilokhvostov regarding the transaction of documents from the case materials so that the witness could navigate in the dates. The accusation did not express objections, and the judge sent the secretary for the documents. Silence hung in the hall.

Having received the case, Shilokhovostov confirmed the authenticity of the documents. When asked about acquaintance with representatives of Tactics LLC and Russian hotels company Oleg Deripaska, whose possession of which the plot on Chaplygin Street passed, Shilokhvostov answered negatively, adding that in the general order, a lawyer of one of the organizations, whose name and appearance he did not remember.

Shilokhvostov could contradict Yurchenko and agreed to head the department with the condition of independence of personnel policy

Balyan also asked why the head of the property department did not offer Gaztransky to sell the property from the auction. Schilokhvostov replied that, according to the law, OJSC himself determines the procedure for conducting a transaction, and added that in the Novosibirsk region the practice of selling state property from trading is not too extended - thus transactions carried out transactions only by Novosibirsk Regional Mortgage Lending Agency. According to the head of the department, the land plot in Berdsk, owned by Gaztransky, was sold in 2016 without bidding and, as Shilokhvostov believes, at a low price, in connection with which the application was submitted to the law enforcement agencies. According to the company's website, on May 8, 2015, Gaztransky was supposed to conduct an open auction for the sale of a warehouse and a land plot in Berdsk with an initial price of 1.05 million rubles, but there were no people who wanted to. In 2016, the company's shares were bought by a subsidiary of Gazprom.

The lawyer asked if the legality of the transaction was carried out after its conclusion. Judge Alla cheerful objected, reminding the lawyer that all these facts are reflected in the case file. Balyan said that he wanted to get answers from a “living person”, since the accusation believes that Shilokhvostov was invited to work in the government specifically for the corruption transaction. The audit that the lawyer was asking was carried out at the request of the envoy Viktor Tolokonsky, and the prosecutor's office did not find violations then.

"Did Yurchenko give any instructions regarding the implementation of this transaction, its coordination?" The lawyer asked. “I repeatedly answered this question on [preliminary] investigation. Yurchenko did not give me any instructions, - answered Shilokhvostov. “He became interested only after publications in the press.”

The next witness began to interrogate the witness Vasily Yurchenko, who had previously twisted the pen on the table. The ex-governor was interested in whether Shilokhvostov could express his opinion at meetings with the participation of Yurchenko and whether the former head of the region exerted pressure on the witness in order to dismiss one of the employees of the property department. Shilokhvostov replied that Yurchenko could freely speak out and even contradict, and also recalled that he agreed to head the department with the condition of independence of personnel policy. The ex-governor also asked the witness to tell about the register of the treasury objects of the Novosibirsk region. The head of the Department of Property said that he was created on the initiative of Yurchenko and helped to increase the rationality of the use of non -core assets of state -owned enterprises and OJSC, whose shares belong to the region.

An interrogation of the witness continued the prosecutor with the question of who was the initiator of the sale of the site on Chaplygin, 54 in 2010. Shilokhvostov replied that such a question was raised back in 2006 and could not be resolved without the knowledge of the then governor Viktor Tolokonsky. "Is there any actual confirmation of this or is it your conclusion?" - the prosecutor asked about the participation in the transaction of the current head of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. “This is my conclusion based on the analysis of the documents I received.” “Have you seen this contract yourself? Do you even have a legal education? " - asked the prosecutor of Shilokhvostov, who at the beginning of the meeting said that he graduated from Nyu (f) of TSU.

After the recognition of the contract of sale, “tactics” could demand from the regional government to reimburse the already spent money

The state prosecutor also asked if Shilokhvostov was known about the ties of Tactics LLC and Russian hotels at the time of the transaction. The witness replied that he had learned about this from the press. “I don’t know when there were publications in the media about this, describe, please,” the prosecutor asked. “In 2011,” the head of the Department of Property recalled.

The accusation asked the witness at the expense of what funds the construction of the hotel was planned, as well as the number of tactics employees. “I don’t know anything about this,” Shilokhovostov answered. The prosecutor also asked if there was a need to build a hotel in Novosibirsk at the time of the transaction. “She is now,” the witness said.

The word was unexpectedly taken by the ex-governor Yurchenko. "Did I put the tasks of increasing the investment attractiveness of the region for you and other departments of the departments?" - asked the defendant Shilokhvostov. “Yes, of course,” the witness answered. “Did I give instructions on the sale of objects not related to increasing efficiency, reducing costs and, which would lead to damage to the Novosibirsk region?” - "Of course not".

The lawyer Balyan decided to ask the witness how to transfer the cases to Shilokhvostov from the previous head of the Gallyamov Property Department, who, recall, did not agree on a deal in 2010. “He just left and that's it, didn’t even call,” the official answered. The judge did not ask a witness a single question and announced a break.

“A series of events shows that this is a political process,” said Taiga.info Roman Shilokhvostov, leaving the court building.

After the break, the issue of calling other witnesses was resolved. Witness Viktor Maslov, who worked at the time of the transaction in the “Bel Development”, which was ongoing with the “Russian hotels”, is in the hospital in serious condition, so the court decided to announce his testimony at the preliminary investigation. Answering the investigator’s questions, Maslov said that on May 26, 2010 he arrived in Novosibirsk along with his colleagues in order to ask the Governor of Tolokonsky about assistance in concluding a lease agreement of a neighboring Chaplygin, 54 sites for the construction of a hotel parking lot.

At the meeting, Tolokonsky promised the company's support representatives and advised him to contact the then mayor of Novosibirsk Vladimir Gorodetsky. Employees of Bel Development went to Gorodetsky, he advised them to write an official appeal. After they went to the head of the department of construction and architecture Sergei Boyarsky, with whom they discussed permits. Maslov also informed the investigation that he met with Gaztransky general director and asked whether the contract of sale was signed with Tactics LLC.

The court also decided to announce the data on the preliminary investigation of the testimony of lawyer Natalia Kogai, who acted as an expert. She told the investigator that after the recognition of the contract of sale by the Arbitration Court in 2009, the Tactics LLC could require the regional government to compensate for the costs associated with their investment activities.

The next hearing is scheduled for July 4.
