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.

According to the investigation, Dolmatov prepared the necessary documentation justifying the inflated costs of creating software, which ensured the victory in the competition of the persons he needed. The ex-deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor is charged under Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud) and Art. 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of authority).

In addition, a number of real estate and other property in,,, Ivanovskaya Vladimirskaya Kostroma Yaroslavskaya regions, which, according to the prosecutor's office, are connected with the Dolmatov family, are turned into state income.[3]
Attempt to leave the pre-trial detention center
As TAdviser discovered in January 2026, the ex-deputy head of Rosprirodnadzor Oleg Dolmatov and the ex-head of the Federal Central Administrative District (Federal Center for Analysis and Assessment of Technogenic Impact) Vladislav Novikov, who appears in the same criminal case with him, made an attempt to leave the pre-trial detention center, where they were placed as a preventive measure during the investigation and trial.
The criminal case, we recall, was opened under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud on an especially large scale) and, according to the investigation, is associated with the development of software and hardware for accounting for objects that negatively affect the environment. The trial of this case has been going on since April 2025.
As follows from the electronic copy of the determination of the Moscow City Court, issued on the basis of appeals by Oleg Dolmatov, Vladislav Novikov and their defenders for a measure of restraint, these persons asked for a milder measure of restraint instead of detention.
In defense of Vladislav Novikov, in particular, the lawyer argued that he was not hiding, participated in the SVO, had been in custody for more than a year, most of the witnesses in the case were interrogated, the grounds taken into account when choosing a preventive measure disappeared. And in defense of Oleg Dolmatov, the lawyer pointed out that he had never been hiding before, did not exert pressure on the participants in the criminal proceedings and otherwise did not interfere with the proceedings in the criminal case, in connection with which there are no grounds for extending the preventive measure in the form of detention.
The Moscow City Court, however, then saw no reason for changing the preventive measure for the defendants. And in December 2025 and January 2026, judging by the data in the database of the courts of general jurisdiction of Moscow, they received new appeals, which have yet to be considered.
