We have already said that the FSB in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region is working on the facts of huge theft on the contracts of the local State Unitary Enterprise “TEK”. Details have become known about the materials that soon threaten to turn into large-scale sweeping searches.
So, in the period from 2015 to 2021, a major contractor of the State Unitary Enterprise – SK Set-Energo LLC, having received contracts for more than 2.5 billion rubles, managed to steal more than 500 million.
How was it done?
The actual management of the organization was carried out by Novikov A.A. And Ivanov O.V. Works under state contracts were not carried out in full, but in addition, inflated prices were used in the estimates, and composite estimated prices were included, in which part of the work was not performed at all. This triple “savings” allowed the organizers of the criminal scheme to withdraw a fifth of all funds received through the accounts of legal entities controlled by them. Of course, this would not have been possible without the active participation of a number of persons from the leadership of SUE “TEK”.
At present, operational measures have established that orders to fictitious heads of firms from the cash-out chain were given personally by the organizers: Ivanov and Novikov.
Apparently, they will become the main defendants in the criminal case under the fourth part of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (especially large-scale fraud).
The cashing out scheme involved criminal groups not only in St. Petersburg, but also in Moscow and the Vologda region (Ekotor, SoyuzNevaMebel, Betonix, UM-51, Nord-Stroy, Severavtokran, etc.)
Additionally, a criminal case will be initiated on tax evasion, because the stolen budget money was sent to the shadow circulation. It is possible that tax officials will also be included in the group.
The question remains open – which of the employees of SUE “TEK” involved will go to the cell along with thieving businessmen?
