2024: Absentee sentence - 12 years in prison for embezzlement of 3.5 billion rubles during the construction of a plant for the production of blood products
On February 26, 2024, the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow sentenced in absentia the former general director of the German company Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH Reinhard Beber and board member Lutz Heinz. Each of them received 12 years in prison for fraud and attempted theft of more than 3.5 billion rubles of budget funds.
The case is related to the construction in Kirov of a plant for the production of blood preparations commissioned by the Russian Medical Research and Production Center Rosplazma. The contractor within the framework of the project was Intra Bau M LLC, the founder of which is Aleksey Kharchenko: at his request, a criminal case was initiated against top Glatt managers on suspicion of fraud. It was said, in particular, that the leadership of the German company stole 470 million rubles from the contractor under a forged reconciliation act of mutual settlements.
Beber and Heinzl were arrested in absentia in Russia in 2015. The defense of the defendants stated at a preliminary hearing on September 11, 2023 that the criminal case should be terminated, since the investigation is carried out "for an unprecedented long time," and the statute of limitations in criminal cases has expired. The topic is no less, the court passed convictions against these persons.
Former Glatt leaders were found guilty of especially large-scale fraud (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and attempted particularly large-scale fraud (article 30 and part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). By partial addition of punishments, the court finally determined for Beber and Heinzl a prison sentence of 12 years with serving a sentence in a general regime correctional colony, as well as a fine of 1.5 million rubles for each. The term of punishment will be calculated from the moment of extradition of these persons or detention in Russia. Since both are citizens Germany and are not subject to extradition from this country, the Russian Federation still has the opportunity to send a sentence for execution to the homeland of the convicts.[1]
