For which the security forces had questions for the ex-mayor, the “new” was already telling . Less than two weeks after his May resignation, searches were held at several addresses related to Gumenyuk. Although the investigation officially did not comment on what was happening, the sources did not hide: the matter concerns the fraud in city cemeteries (although there were no reasons - for example, disgusting, moreover, the protracted repair of one of the main transport highways of Vladivostok, the Nekrasovsky overpass).
And today - already officially.
OFFICIALLY
“In Vladivostok, a criminal case has been instituted against the former mayor of the capital of Primorye Oleg Gumenyuk on the fact of receiving a multimillion -dollar bribe in the provision of patronage in the field of funeral services,” the SK for Primorye reports.
Of course, information about this leaked to the telegram channels in the morning, but the security forces gave comments only during the day. Operational support in the criminal case is carried out by employees of the regional FSB. The Gumenyuk’s phone was turned off, so it was not possible to get comments from him.
What is known? The bribe on an especially large amount is charged.
“From 2019 to 2021, the suspect regularly received bribes in the form of money from the leadership of the Necropol of the MUPV and through intermediaries for general patronage in the provision of funeral services. In total, more than 19.5 million rubles were transferred to him during this time, ”the UK writes.
Context - briefly - such. There is a municipal enterprise "Necropol" in Vladivostok, it is engaged in funeral and is a monopolist in this market. The funerals from the MUP received information from the ambulance and the police to be the relatives of the deceased before the rest (and even earlier than the doctors record death). Actually, employees of emergency services also fell into the attention of the investigating authorities - searches were held in March, several criminal cases were instituted for receiving bribes, and against funeral agents - for giving bribes.
In cemeteries, even fences were forbidden to put if they were not ordered in Necropolis.

The head of the cemeteries of Necropolis Evgeny Schlenchak, who was lobbying Gumenyuk, will probably also judge. He, according to the investigation, “from March 2020 to January 2021 received more than 4 million rubles from two citizens for the illegal issuance of permits for the installation of formwork on the territory of the Morskoye cemetery, as well as for the burial of the URN with the ashes of the dead in these formwork”.
The investigative actions against Oleg Gumenyuk are ongoing. There will be a court. And here you should not have any illusions at all. Oleg Gumenyuk was detained, "the issue of the election of a preventive measure against him is being decided."
Recently, Instagram of the ex-mayor seemed an island of joy and tranquility in our raging world. Sunset, fishing, motocross competitions (by the way, the video is really impressive - it is clear that a professional). And photos with a “red friend” - a little fluffy spitz. The feeling is like a former mayor for once ... Happy. And careless, because it is impossible not to understand anything at all if the security forces are so seriously interested in your person.
However, (here we will guess on the coffee grounds) Oleg Vladimirovich probably knew about the claims from the security forces. July 29, he was numb,

He placed a sad post: a picture with a man sitting on a chair, in the back of which scissors, knives, needles are stuck. And the signature: "But behind the back there were those behind whom you stood breasts."
They sympathize with him. After leaving the post of mayor, Gumenyuk seems to have ceased to be a trigger for the townspeople. His victories, medals, walks along the coast in Livadia and the Dog, people were touched and rejoiced. And, most importantly, during the Far Eastern Mediasammit, that he took place in Vladivostok on June 10–11, the governor, answering questions about his protege, briefly mentioned that the mayor is unclean in his hand. Then everyone somehow missed it by his ears, and Kozhemyako stopped short and did not develop the topic. And in vain no one noticed the obvious.
Even the night before, Gumenyuk congratulated the coastal racer Artyom Laguta on the victory at the World Speedway Championship. Everything was quiet and calm. Yes, in principle, and today there is no special noise in the city. Well, they detained and detained. He is not the first ... Vladivostoks still hope that he is the last, because no matter how much it is possible-no matter what mayor, then under investigation and with a sentence.
Even from the building of the SK, Oleg Gumenyuk was taken out not as his colleague in misfortune and predecessor Igor Pushkarev. He led, breaking his hands behind his back - the same goes by himself, in a blue Bologna jacket with a hood, with a sports bag.
Help "New"
Oleg Gumenyuk was born on March 3, 1967 in Vladivostok. He graduated from Dalrybvtuz with a degree in economics and management at the enterprise. From 1985 to 1987 he served in the Navy. He is engaged in auto and motorsport, repeatedly won the competition. For which I received one of his nicknames - physical education. In 2005, he headed the Committee on Physical Culture and Sports of the Vladivostok administration, then he was appointed deputy head of the administration - the head of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports. Gumenyuk worked for a long time in the team of Oleg Kozhemyako. In 2010, he took the post of head of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports of the Government of the Amur Region. In 2016, he returned to Vladivostok and headed the GBU "Economic Department of the Administration of the Primorsky Territory". From December 22, 2018 he was appointed first deputy head of the city administration. Then he became the acting mayor.
It is worth noting that the security forces took up the “personnel of the Gumenyuk”. So, the former chief and deputy chief of the municipal property department Dmitry Pikulu and Denis Rezanov will be judged for bribery (8 million rubles) in case of patronage in the renewal of land plots of disabled people and veterans for individuals. The beneficiaries sold land in the suburbs for a penny, and it cost 45 million. But the first vice-mayor of the team Oleg Gumenyuk-Natalya Sokolov-the security forces did not touch. Although it was she who was responsible for the municipal property ... They say that the mayor and his “right hand” were connected by the relationship more than the workers. They also say that she, in order not to fall under the investigation, went to cooperate.
