2023: Tightening the deadline. 3 years in prison for unfinished polyclinic

The Perm Regional Court toughened the sentence of the ex-head of the Capital Construction Department (UKS) of Prikamye Dmitry Levinsky for abuse of power after the appeal of the prosecutor's office to the earlier sentence. The press service of the regional prosecutor's office announced this on January 24, 2023.

The court of first instance found the ex-head guilty of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of office, entailing grave consequences) and sentenced him to a suspended sentence of 1 year 10 months of correctional labor with 15% of the state's income.

Dmitry Levinsky was given 3 years in prison for abuse of authority

According to investigators, the accused in 2017, holding this position, on behalf of the authorized body, concluded a state contract with a commercial construction organization for the construction of a children's clinic in the Kirovsky district of Perm. According to the terms of the contract, all work at the facility must be performed by the contractor by November 2018, in addition, the clinic should have been equipped with medical and technological equipment. However, from the end of 2017 to September 2019, the official, realizing that the construction was lagging behind the planned schedule, while part of the work was not completed in full, the supply of medical equipment was not made, unreasonably signed acceptance certificates on the basis of which funds were transferred from the budget to the contractor. As a result of the unlawful actions of the accused, the budget suffered damage in the amount of over 29 million rubles.

The prosecutor's submission raised the question of the illegality and injustice of the court decision due to the excessive leniency of the sentence imposed.

The court of appeal changed the sentence, sentencing the official to 3 years in prison in a general regime correctional colony. Also, as an additional punishment, he is deprived of the right to hold positions in the public service and local government for 2 years 6 months.

In order to compensate for damage, the property of the former head was seized in the amount of more than 20 million rubles.

By the end of January 2023, the construction of the clinic was not completed, work at the facility was stopped.^[1]
