2023: Arrest and charge of major fraud

On July 25, 2023, it became known about the arrest of the heads of Perm Telta Telephone Plant OJSC in connection with a large-scale fraud case.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow granted the petition of the investigation to choose a preventive measure to the company's general director Alexei Vysokov and chief accountant Elena Grishina. In addition, the former head and co-owner of the enterprise Igor Morozov ended up in the pre-trial detention center.

The general director and chief accountant of the Perm telephone plant were arrested. They are accused of major fraud

Telta, founded in 1941, supplies special, industrial, field telephones, switching and measuring equipment. The products are produced at two factories - in Perm and Moscow. The company's customers include law enforcement agencies (the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSIN Penitentiary Service), the border troops, the navy, etc. 100% of the company's shares belong to the capital's LLC UK Center, the sole owner of which is Anna Karpova, the wife of Igor Morozov.

Claims against the management of Telta are related to the execution of state contracts for the supply of communications. According to one version, the defendants in the case could develop and implement a scheme according to which products were shipped to customers at inflated prices. According to another version, the fraudulent scheme concerns the import substitution program: since 2014, the company has raised federal funds to modernize special communications, but in fact, Chinese-made components were used in the products.

According to Kommersant, a criminal case has been opened against the heads of Perm Telta Telephone Plant OJSC on embezzlement of funds on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Nothing is known about the position of the defendants regarding the claims of the investigation. The amount of damage caused is also not disclosed.^[1]
