Under the terms of these contracts, Macrobit was supposed to develop electronic services for sending requests when providing 59 state services by local government agencies, as well as 40 electronic services for sending information at the disposal of state bodies and local governments of North Ossetia. The Committee signed acts of acceptance of the work performed, on the basis of which Macrobit transferred funds.

"The works were performed by me within the prescribed ten-day period. The work was accepted by the customer, about which an act of acceptance was drawn up. However, the investigation, without establishing the fact of the service provided by me, believes that the work was not completed by me and the money was stolen, which is not true. I ask you to take measures, "- said in the appeal of Aslanbek Mairamukaev

Following the discussion, the expert group sent an address letter to the Presidential Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs, as well as to the Prosecutor's Office of the RSO-Alania with a request to check the facts set out in the applicant's appeal and assess the current situation.
