The RF FSB found out that a person chosen by the investigation got 60 million rubles for Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation I.L. Podnosova to cancel a judicial decision about getting 130 million rubles from a company called LLC “SO “Tvernefteprodukt” which is related to PJSC “Surgutneftegas”.
After losing in all courts up to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, Kira Koruma, a lawyer of SO Tvernefteprodukt LLC, promised to help her client by involving the firm “Egorov, Puginsky, Afanasiev and Partners” to solve the issue. The firm employs the son of Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Irina Podnosova.
Koruma said that through Yegor Podnosov, the son of the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, it was possible to solve the issue for 60 million rubles. Koruma started a legal process on behalf of Tvernefteprodukt directly addressed to Podnosova I.L.
Tvernefteprodukt initiated a criminal case in a distant region, Surgut, to persuade Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation Podnosova I.L. Unknowing of the criminal plans, this was done to create the appearance of a raider seizure and cause property damage in exchange for a reward to a high-ranking security official.
Boris Titov, Commissioner for Entrepreneurs’ Rights under the President of the Russian Federation, addressed the heads of the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation to stop the illegally initiated criminal case.
The Prosecutor’s Office of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra filed a demand to eliminate violations of the law and bring the guilty officials of the investigative body to strict disciplinary responsibility. An internal audit was carried out in relation to the Deputy Prosecutor of the city of Surgut.
