2024: Initiation of a criminal case on embezzlement of 1 billion rubles from the Ministry of Defense
On September 16, 2024, it became known that the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Krasnoyarsk Territory opened a criminal case on embezzlement of almost 1 billion rubles from the Ministry of Defense during the construction of a communications control center. As part of the investigation, the head of ERSM Siberia LLC Roman Bezrukov was detained.
According to TASS, referring to information received from sources in law enforcement agencies, Bezrukov, according to the case file, from May 2021 to March 2023, together with other unidentified persons, brought into shadow circulation at least 993 million 812 thousand rubles, conducting fictitious operations under the guise of purchasing materials when performing work and providing services. The funds were allocated from the budget for construction under a state contract in the field of the military-industrial complex.
In particular, ERSM Siberia LLC acted as a contractor under a contract concluded between the Ministry of Defense of Russia and FSUE Main Military Construction Directorate N4 for the construction of a communications control center of the Ministry of Defense. The total value of the contract was 6.8 billion rubles. The contractor undertook to perform design, survey and construction and installation work, but did not fulfill his obligations. In March 2024, the contract was terminated: at that time, the readiness of the facility being built was only 6%.
The case against Bezrukov was initiated under Part 4. Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - fraud committed by an organized group on an especially large scale. Such crimes are punishable by imprisonment for up to ten years with a fine of up to 1 million rubles or in the amount of the convict's salary or other income for a period of up to three years. According to RIA Novosti, the accounts of the ERSM of Siberia have been arrested: the debt to the tax is 270 million rubles. Since May 2023, 21 lawsuits have been filed against ERSM Siberia for a total amount of about 30 billion rubles.[1]
