Vadim Soynikov, detained on charges of abuse of office, is suspected of causing damage in the amount of 17 million

He took them away during the repair of the departmental sports complex, which is located on Vatutina Street. A complex of emergency buildings is located at this address.

A source in the ministry said that the management of the department and Soynikov himself use this complex from time to time. But for the chief of staff, who before the Ministry of Emergency Situations worked in the Economic Security Service of the FSB, such an amount of damage is even insulting.

Working in the team of former Deputy Minister Andrey Gurovich, he led the Arctic program, for which 1.7 billion rubles were allocated. Of this amount, only half was disbursed for its intended purpose, the fate of the rest of the money will have to be clarified by law enforcement officers.
