2018: SK raided TsENKI employees
A criminal case against employees of the FSUE Center for the Operation of Ground Space Infrastructure Facilities (FSUE TsENKI) was initiated in April 2018 under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of Russia (fraud), a source in the TFR told RBC. The information was confirmed by an interlocutor familiar with the investigation[1].
"It is known that in October 2017, the chief specialist of the investment support department of the budgeting and economics department of the economy department of FSUE TsENKI Safronov forged service supply contracts for 7.6 million rubles, and also forged statements, invoices and invoices for payment for services," a source in the TFR said.
According to him, Safronov acted with the so far unidentified investigation officers of the FSUE. Participants in the criminal scheme entered into a fictitious contract with Alt LLC. FSUE TsENKI acted as a buyer, and LLC Alt as a supplier. The money for the products not actually delivered was transferred to the company's account with four payments, and then stolen.
Searches in the framework of the theft case at TsENKI took place in May 2018 at five addresses in Moscow and the Moscow Region, said an interlocutor familiar with the investigation.
"Investigators searched the apartment of another person involved - the chief specialist of the investment support department, Alexander Parushkin, who could have had documents related to the criminal case," the source said. According to him, in the materials of the criminal case Parushkin passes as a witness.
