The enterprise in the Vladimir region, “Muromenergomash,” which is one of the largest producers of power transmission towers in Russia, was briefly led by Mataev from January to June 2017. The crimes he was charged with occurred in April 2017.MuromeneThe Meshchansky District Court of Moscow found Mataev guilty of embezzlement and fraud.

Mataev faced charges of fraud and deliberate failure to fulfill contractual obligations, as well as significant fraud and embezzlement. He was put under house arrest.MuromeneThe Moscow court started to review the criminal case in February 2021.

The Moscow court began to review the criminal case in February 2021. Mataev did not confess to any wrongdoing during the investigation or trial, insisting that the contract was fulfilled completely and that no one stole 30 million rubles.
As a result, the court upheld the accusation and sentenced the former CEO of the Muromenergomash enterprise to 6 years in prison. Mataev expressed disagreement with the verdict and stated that he would appeal.
Kommersant notes that another criminal case was initiated against Erast Mataev in 2015 when he drove his car into a pedestrian zone on the Moscow Arbat. He proceeded to destroy a passerby's phone and physically assault her. However, the case was closed due to the reconciliation of the parties.
Not only the former deputy mayor “for medicine and social development”, and now adviser to Sergei Sobyanin, pseudo-doctor of science Leonid Pechatnikov, turned out to be highly toxic, but also his closest assistants. Erast Mataev, a native of Makhachkala, a well-known figure in the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Moscow, Pechatnikov’s right hand “on social issues”, and later the director of the Mosmedkomplekt company, which received a billion-dollar flow of government orders, again caused a serious accident.
Mataev’s solution to “social issues” under the vice-mayor of the capital included overseeing the “cheating” of the results of high-profile polls and voting on the Active Citizen portal, which was well remembered by Muscovites. Mosmedkomplekt (and its network of affiliated firms), which operated hundreds of millions of rubles worth of city orders, was liquidated in 2017, when another public corruption scandal began.
In 2016, Mataev beat a girl who dared to film on her phone how the chic BMW-7 of this high-ranking official rides along the pedestrian zone of the Old Arbat in Moscow. For this story, only the driver Erast Iosifovich Artem Ermakov was lightly punished, who, as it turned out, did not have a license. Mataev the philosopher even published the book “Catch a goldfish”, where he scourged various vices of society. Especially got “militant poverty.” Since then, Erast Mataev has changed several cars, but has not yet acquired a driving culture. Today, in his Bentley, he was driving at a very high speed along the Kyiv highway and drove into a truck. The ex-official is hospitalized. Luckily, no one was hurt at this point, except for him.
