Resignation after court testimony
On June 6, 2025, it became known that Marcel Minnullin resigned as Minister of Health of Tatarstan. The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the republic Rustam Minnikhanov.
According to Realnoe Vremya, the chief physician of the Nizhnekamsk Central District Hospital (CRH) Ruslan Valeev testified against Minnullin during the investigation. The Kommersant newspaper notes that Valeev, in collusion with the persons of the Ministry of Health of Tatarstan, entered into state contracts with Polycomplex and Trade-Service for the supply of drugs for 8 million rubles. However, these medical supplies, it is alleged, were never shipped in the required volume.
 | Regarding Polycomplex, there was an indication from the Ministry of Health, including from Minister Minnullin, - the judge noted the essence of the defendant's confessions. |  |
According to the Rusprofile portal, Polycomplex was registered in Kazan in 2007. The authorized capital of the organization is 10.6 thousand rubles, and the revenue for 2024 is 0 rubles. The organization has four employees. The only leader and founder is Kirill Kostolanov.
Lawyer of the law firm "Yakhatin" Anton Smirnov, in a conversation with Kommersant, noted that the testimony against Marcel Minnullin is a serious reason for criminal prosecution. The expert said that the chances of bringing the former head of the Ministry of Health of Tatarstan to justice are high, especially if the investigation collects documentary evidence of his pressure on Ruslan Valeev or financial ties with contractors.
According to the expert, the investigation will consider the actions of the ex-Minister of Health of Tatarstan through articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on abuse of office or abuse of power. If it is confirmed that Marcel Minnullin received personal benefits from the schemes, then he may be accused of bribery. If the guilt of the ex-head of the Ministry of Health of the republic is proven, then the wording of the dismissal may be revised to "due to the loss of confidence." She automatically closes Marcela Minnullin's path to government agencies.[1]
Appointment to the position of surgeon in the LPR hospital
Former Minister of Health of Tatarstan Marcel Minnullin will continue his professional activities as a surgeon at a hospital in the city of Lisichansk in the Luhansk People's Republic. Sources of the publication "Business Online" reported this appointment in mid-June 2025, noting that the ex-minister will take the post of ordinary surgeon.
According to the interlocutors of the publication, in the future, Minnullin can claim one of the leading positions in the new regions of Russia. This possibility is being considered taking into account his experience in managing the regional health system.
Marcel Minnullin was dismissed from the post of head of the Ministry of Health of Tatarstan in early June 2025 of his own free will. The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the republic Rustam Minnikhanov, which officially ended Minnullin's tenure in the ministerial post.
The resignation of the ex-minister turned out to be connected with a criminal case, within the framework of which investigative actions are taking place. Local media linked the dismissal of Minnullin with the testimony against him of the chief physician of the Nizhnekamsk Central District Hospital Ruslan Valeev.
Ruslan Valeev is accused of abuse of office and is suspected of conspiring with officials of the Ministry of Health of Tatarstan. The investigating authorities believe that the accused has concluded state contracts with Polycomplex and Trade-Service for the supply of medicines.
The total amount of the disputed contracts amounted to ₽8 million, but the drugs were not delivered in the required amount. This violation became the basis for initiating a criminal case and bringing to justice officials of the medical department of the republic.
After Minnullin leaves the post of minister, the duties of the head of the department are temporarily performed by First Deputy Almir Abashev. He coordinates the work of the regional Ministry of Health until the appointment of a new head of the department.[2]
