2012: Charges of corruption

On November 27, 2012 it became known that the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation conducts investigation about embezzlement of budget funds, selected to the Ministry of Defence (MD) within the state defense order.

As Rosbalt knew, in particular, in case papers there is a speech about the finance intending for creation of the draft of "The state program of arms for 2011-2020" and for formation of a single system of planning of "implementation of military and technical policy of the state". According to the investigators, on this directions had to perform the main part of research works the 46th Central Research Institute Russian Defense Ministry Federal State Institution.

In September, 2009 MO concluded the government contract with institute, financing of works in the amount of 137 million rubles was included in state defense order. However in November, 2009 the list of collaborators of researches was made. According to AFU, with the consent of the chief of Head department of arms of Russian Armed Forces Oleg Frolov (in 2012 holds a position of the first deputy head of Roskosmos) and the head of department of perspective trans-species researches and the MO Russian Federation special projects Nikolay Len Interregional public organization "Academy of Military Sciences" (MOO "AVN") was included in this list. "AVN" also began to arrive budget money. However, as believe in AFU, actually MOO did not carry out any works. The means received in the area of state defense order were cashed, abducted then and left to officials of the 46th central research institute Federal State Institution and, perhaps, the Ministry of Defence.

According to the version of the investigation, researches were performed by the staff of the 46th central research institute, then their works were brought to the office "AVN" located in the building of Center of Military History Ministry of Defence Federal State Institution on Universitetsky Avenue. There the details "AVN" were applied on documents. At the same time heads of MOO made dummy agreements of contracts that they allegedly involved dozens of specialists from different structures in works, including — of Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsAGI, TsIVPZS Russian Defense Ministry Federal State Institution, etc.

The researches with the put details "AVN" executed by forces of the 46th central research institute went to the Ministry of Defence where made decisions on their payment. At the same time money came to MOO. So far the amount of damage in the amount of 28.3 million rubles which were according to the investigators cashed and stolen is involved in case. However examination of the government contracts concluded within state defense order is appointed now. "After its end both the amount of damage, and number of defendants can grow" — noted a source of the agency in law enforcement agencies.

Charges by Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (large scale fraud) are brought to the deputy chief of 46 Central Research Institute MO RF Federal State Institution Nikolay Nezhinsky and the former employee of the General Staff of Russian Armed Forces, the director of MOO "Academy of Military Sciences" Anatoly Shiblev.

"The academy of military sciences" — the known and reputable organization, it involves hundreds of specialists including from different Scientific Research Institute Ministry of Defence to execution of works — the lawyer Shibleva Alexander Vasilyev told Rosbalt. — In this case the Ministry of Defence, instead of the transferred budget money received their equivalent — in the form of results of research works. Claims to quality of the performed works did not arise, damage the Defense Ministry incurred nobody. If as approves the investigation, money in "AVN" was transferred unreasonably, then it is necessary to insist on fictitiousness of public contracts and delivery and acceptance certificates of works consistently. Otherwise the ends at charge will never meet with the ends. Shiblev has no relation to those documents on the basis of which money was transferred. Now we ask about the termination of criminal prosecution as in its actions there was no corpus delicti"[4].

The source of Rosbalt in law enforcement agencies noted that this criminal case is not connected with the latest events in the Ministry of Defence.

"Investigation was begun even before Anatoly Serdyukov's resignation" — the interlocutor of the agency told.
