2024: Arrest in abuse of power case in software development

On May 7, 2024, the Preobrazhensky Court of Moscow arrested the former director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Center for Analysis and Assessment of Technogenic Impact" (FCAO) Vladislav Novikov. He is accused of abuse of authority when fulfilling a state contract for software development.

According to TASS, we are talking about a project to create software and hardware for accounting for objects that have a negative impact on the environment (PTO UONVOS). According to the investigation, in 2016, an agreement was concluded between the Federal State Budgetary Institution "FCAO" and the contractor company LLC "Adicom system" under a state contract for the creation of a PTD UONVOS hardware and software complex "Unified State Information System for Accounting for Waste from the Use of Goods." At the same time, the company "Adicom system" was headed by Novikov's friend - Igor Teperin.
