The case of the White was transferred to court

The Prosecutor General’s Office approved the indictment in the case of the former governor of the Kirov region Nikita Belykh. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the representative of the supervisory authority of Alexander Kurenny.

According to Kurenny, the Bellykh case will obey in the Presnensky district court of Moscow.

On July 27, the Investigative Committee sent the ex-official case to the prosecutor to approve the indictment.

The whites are charged with two episodes, each of which is qualified under part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code (receiving a bribe on an especially large amount), which provides from 8 to 15 years of the colony. It is claimed that in 2011-2012, an official through intermediaries received a bribe 200 thousand euros from businessman Albert Laritsky, who at that time owned the Kirovles Novovytsk Ski and the Forestry Management Company (one of the co-founders of this company was the state-owned enterprise Kirovles, in the case of thefts in which politician Alexei Navalny was convicted). The bribe, according to the plot of the case, demanded for the coordination of applications for these companies to include their investment projects in the list of priority, the provision of forest plots on preferential conditions and “general protection” of Laritsky.

In 2013, they stated in the TFR, the owner of both firms, the last of which was renamed the Forestry Management Company, became Yuri Sudgaimer. According to the investigation department, he found out that enterprises did not fully fulfill the conditions of priority investment projects, and this threatened to terminate the lease agreements of forest sites from the regional government. Meanwhile, Belykh in 2014 promised that if Sudgaimer gives him a bribe of 400 thousand euros, the government would close his eyes to violations committed by firms. The first half of the bribe, according to the report of the Investigative Department, the governor received the same year, and when transferring two years later, the second half of the official was detained with red -handed.

The detention was carried out on June 24, 2016 in the Moscow bar . The next day the whites were arrested. At the same time, the Investigative Department still claimed that the official was taken upon receipt of all 400 thousand euros, and not half of this amount.

The episode dated 2011-2012 appeared in the case only in March 2017 , shortly before the presentation of the white final accusation . The lawyer of the former official Andrei Grokhotov explained the inclusion of a new episode by the fact that the case of his client is falling apart. He also reported that Laritsky (Grohotov called him Eduard, and not Albert) himself was imprisoned in a pre -trial detention center. Among the persons appearing in the case as intermediaries in the transfer of bribes, the lawyer mentioned a certain Sergey Shcherchkov.

White is contained in the metropolitan pre-trial detention center-1 "sailor silence". He does not admit guilt, calling the initiation of the case against him a provocation. For some time, the former official held a hunger strike in a pre -trial detention center. At the same time, he emphasized that he did not consider his persecution politically motivated.

On July 28, 2016, Vladimir Putin removed Belykh from his post "In connection with the loss of trust." As another lawyer of the arrested, Mikhail Prokhorov, his client, "is understanding with understanding, refers to the need for this step."
