2022: Getting 6 years in prison in a robot supply case
In mid-August 2022, the Kurgan City Court sentenced Oleg Rozhkov, the former head of the Main Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the Kurgan Region, to six years in a general regime colony. He was found guilty of abuse of office, and abuse of office (part 1 of article 285 of the Criminal Code, as well as paragraph "c" of part 3 of article 286), and fraud using his official position (part 3 of article 159 of the Criminal Code).
According to the investigation, in 2018, Oleg Rozhkov, being the head of the Main Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the Kurgan Region, accepted and signed acts on the acceptance of defective equipment - robots for the needs of the Ministry of Emergencies - for a total of 56 million rubles. The court found that the entrepreneur concluded a state contract with the department for the supply of ten robotics, reliably knowing that the enterprise does not have the technological ability to manufacture this equipment.
Also, since February 2019, he illegally used special control equipment for a year - he used snowmobiles and ATVs of the department for personal purposes. In addition, in September 2019, after the expiration of the period of temporary performance of duties as head of the Kurgan Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, he deluded the chief accountant and convinced him to continue to accrue payments.
According to the publication "Kurgan Online," Judge Andrei Dolgikh found Rozhkov innocent of buying and using expensive phones for official money and the accused has the right to rehabilitation under this article.
Rozhkov himself does not plead guilty and plans to appeal the verdict. According to him, the decision to accept robots without comment was made by the Ministry of Emergency Situations apparatus without his participation.
