As the declarant when she refused to the boss assures, she was dismissed and moved with family from the departmental apartment. The FPS does not comment on a scandal story.

The human rights activist Valery Borshchev considers that scandal in FPS can be not only "the interpersonal conflict" between the chief and the subordinate, but also opposition between clans.

"After Reymer's arrival to FPS there was an intra hardware fight which he strictly stopped" — Borshchev explained to Izvestia.

The chairman of National anti-corruption committee of Russia Kirill Kabanov also believes that behind this history, impartial for the head of the Federal Penitentiary Service, there can be his enemies. It is known that the FPS carried out by summer of 2010 mass departmental cleaning — positions then lost 20 generals and ten employees a rank are lower across all Russia.

"Reymer had enough enemies: he acted strictly, many chiefs lost the posts" — explains to Izvestia of Boars.

The expert considers that this scandal will not affect the fate of the director of FPS — to it will allow to complete the reforms of a prison system begun with it: in Russia sexual scandals in a workplace never before became the reason for resignation of the high-ranking official.

2016: The FPS requires from Reymer and accomplices to return 3 billion rubles.

The Federal Penitentiary Service (FPS) demanded 3 billion rubles as compensation of damage from the former head of department Alexander Reymer and his accomplices (Reymer headed FPS from 2009 to 2012). All of them are accused of fraud when purchasing electronic bracelets, reports the Moscow agency with reference to a source in law enforcement agencies^[2].

"the FPS as the injured party demands from defendants nearly 3 billion rub as compensation of damage. In case four persons involved and money they should pay in a solidary order" — the interlocutor of the agency told.

Earlier Vadim Lyalin, the lawyer of one of defendants in the case of Nikolay Martynov, reported to the agency that the defendant intends to court on account of compensation of damage to be calculated including 7 thousand sets of electronic bracelets.

Electronic bracelets were entered in Russia in 2010 after making changes in UK according to which such measure of punishment as restriction of freedom appeared. The bracelet provides execution of this punishment. When the convict tries to leave the dwelling (to go beyond a certain border) — to his curator in law enforcement agencies the notification comes.

According to the investigators, in 2010-2012 defendants stole in the fraudulent way more than 2.7 billion rub which were selected to the Federal Penitentiary Service from the budget for providing department with the systems of electronic control of controlled individuals.

However purchase of these systems was carried out at the prices overstated several times. So, the stationary control device worth 19 thousand rub was bought for 108 thousand rub, and mobile — instead of the same 19 thousand rubles at the price of 128 thousand rubles.

Later as payment of the services for assistance in embezzlement of budget funds Alexander Reymer received more than 140 million rub from the accomplice Nikolay Martynov, and transfer of money happened in his study located in Moscow.

2017: 8 years of imprisonment for fraud, a penalty of 800 thousand rub, deprivation of a rank

The former Director of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FPS) of Russia Alexander Reymer is sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment for fraud in especially large sizes. Reymer will serve sentence in colony, TASS reports. Besides, the former head of FPS should pay a penalty in the amount of 800 thousand rub Also it loses the colonel general's rank which is available for it. The sentence was pronounced by Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow on the case of plunder of 1.3 billion rub at commission of purchase of electronic bracelets for FPS in 2010-2012.

Along with Reymer and on the same matter the former deputy director of FPS Nikolay Krivolapov was sentenced to 5 years and 8 months of imprisonment in colony, and the director of Federal State Unitary Enterprise Center of Information and Technical Support and Communication of FPS (Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsITOS) Victor Opredelenov – by 6 years. Besides, Krivolapov and Operedelenov should pay a penalty in the amount of 600 thousand rub and 700 thousand rub respectively. Krivolapov also loses the rank of the major general given to him.

As the judge Elena Averchenko notes, for embezzlement from the federal budget Reymer used the official position, acting at the same time for self-interest reasons. Together with it the former deputy director of FPS Nikolay Krivolapov and the director of Federal State Unitary Enterprise Center of Information and Technical Support and Communication of FPS (Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsITOS) Victor Opredelenov were found guilty of fraud. In addition, Krivolapov was in addition found guilty of illegal purchase and storage of ammunition. Defendants deny the fault.

The investigation found that in 2010-2012 defendants stole means which the FPS received from the budget on purchase of electronic bracelets for supervision of defendants.

At the beginning of 2013 it became clear that the center was only an intermediary in their acquisition at the commercial organizations. The purchased devices were faulty – GLONASS sensors did not work for them.

As a result of Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsITOS received about 2 billion rub from which 1.2 billion rub were stolen in a fraudulent way for the rejected bracelets. A part of these means went for bribery of Reymer helping with plunder.
