2024: Major fraud arrest

On June 5, 2024, the Preobrazhensky Court of Moscow arrested the former deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor Oleg Dolmatov in the framework of a case of especially large-scale fraud (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). He is suspected of embezzling 370 million rubles in the implementation of a state contract for the development of software and hardware for waste accounting.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, Dolmatov has worked at Rosprirodnadzor since 2010. He was appointed to the post of deputy head of the department. Dolmatov, among other things, oversaw the activities of the department for economics and finance. In December 2017, the then Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev removed Dolmatov from office.

According to investigators, Dolmatov implemented a scheme of embezzlement of budget funds as part of a project to create software for "accounting for objects of negative impact on the environment." The case file says that the suspect conspired with previously familiar persons and prepared the necessary documentation to substantiate the inflated costs of software development. As a result, Dolmatov ensured victory in the competition of the structures he needed.

Dolmatov's actions caused significant damage to the Russian Federation. The decision of the Preobrazhensky District Court of Moscow granted the petition of the investigation to choose a preventive measure in the form of detention, the court said in a statement.

According to the Vesti source, Adicom systems LLC was engaged in the execution of the state contract. In September 2023, the Preobrazhensky Court of Moscow sent the general director of this organization Igor Teperin to the pre-trial detention center in a large-scale fraud case. According to Rusprofile, Adicom systems is developing computer software, and Teperin has been the CEO of this company since its inception in January 2006.^[1]
