In North Ossetia, a large theft of budget funds is prevented
As it became known to Kommersant, the FSB prevented the multimillion-dollar theft of budget funds allocated in North Ossetia to create a unified regional electric grid company in agreement with the company of S-Plus LLC. The project provided for the introduction of an automatic electricity accounting system. However, they believe in the special services, the leaders of the LLC overestimated its cost more than doubled, from 236 million to 500 million rubles, abducting part of the funds. Four defendants in the case were detained.
According to Kommersant’s sources, the investigation began after the Economic Security Service (SEB) of the FSB of the implementation of the terms of the agreement concluded in the spring of 2022 between the chairman of the Government of North Ossetia Boris Dzhanayev and Dmitry Martynov, the general director of the capital’s LLC S-Plus, the subsidiary of the Rosenergoatom JSC (electric power industry Division « Rosatom »).
The company, as indicated Official website« Is a leading integrator of energy -efficient and energy -saving technologies » and « implements strategic tasks to create new products for the Russian and international energy market. »
In this case, it was about infrastructure projects, in particular in the field of the electric grid complex. North Ossetia – Alania is included in a number of « problematic » regions of the North Caucasus both in terms of deterioration of networks and in the collection of payments.
The agreement implied the creation of a unified regional electric grid company based on the MPC « Mozdok power networks », which later received the name of the State Unitary Enterprise « Alaniyenergoseti » (nuclear power plants).
The enterprise was in a pre-bankrupt state, and S-Plus specialists actually acted as anti-crisis managers. The head of the new structure was Khetag Dzhanaev, who previously held the post of adviser to the general director and deputy head of the department of supply, procurement and logistics “S-Plus”. According to the investigation, his appointment was provided, using his position as part of the agreement, Dmitry Martynov and his first deputy Timur Glushko. The latter in the GUP became the chief adviser to the director, and Ksenia Garkushina, director of the S-PLUS Electric Networks,-adviser to the director of the development and implementation of services.
Among other things, the GUP nuclear power plant was supposed to receive an automatic electricity accounting system (ASUE) with a remote data collection.
According to some reports, the company controlled by Dmitry Martynov and Timur Glushko company participated in the tender for the supply of the system, the initial price of the contract amounted to about 536 million rubles, and it was concluded for 500 million with Nanopolymer controlled by him. At the same time, Ksenia Garkushina allegedly ensured the conclusion of a number of contracts with suppliers and subcontractors: according to a pre -design survey of electric networks; creation, installation and commissioning of Asue; supply of electricity metering devices and so on.
According to the special service, based on an expert assessment, the amount of the contract was obviously overpriced: its real value was about 236 million rubles, and the difference was almost 264 million rubles. The accomplices intended to share each other.
In the fall of 2023, the first payment of 20.5 million rubles was sent to the Nanopolymer, which managed to rename the Interregional Network Company LLC. According to counterintelligence, of which 10.8 million, or more than 52%, falls on unreasonably high cost. The lion’s share of profit from the scam is more than 253 million rubles. The accomplices could not receive, according to Kommersant’s sources in law enforcement agencies, “due to circumstances that are beyond them”-in particular, due to the “unstable financial situation” of the State Unitary Enterprise, as well as “as a result of the timely surgical intervention of SEB FSB”.
On Monday, June 16, investigators of the FSB Office in North Ossetia immediately opened two criminal cases – in fact, was wasted or theft of entrusted funds (part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and unlawful turnover of payment funds (part 2 of article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Their defendants were the alleged organizers of the fraud Dmitry Martynov and Timur Glushko, Ksenia Garkushina, who had managed to become the general director of “S-Plus” by this time, and Khetag Dzhanaev.
According to Kommersant, all of them were detained for 48 hours within the framework of Art. 91 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on suspicion of committing a crime. In the near future, investigators intend to apply to the court with applications for the arrest of all suspects.
In Rosatom, they refrained from commenting.
