In Volgograd, seven criminal cases were initiated against the director of the training center and three heads of commercial organizations suspected of fraud. They stole a total of about 3 million rubles allocated for the implementation of the national project “Demography”.
“It has been established that the director of an organization that carries out dry cleaning activities received 636,000 rubles from the budget as an advance for training ten workers of pre-retirement age,” Oksana Cheredinina, a senior assistant to the Volgograd Region Prosecutor, told NovostiVolgograda.ru.
In fact, people did not receive any training. Employees of the organization providing services for preschool education, as well as firms selling building materials, “studied” according to a similar scheme.
As a reminder, on January 19, the investigation filed charges against the head of the territorial administration of the Federal Property Management Agency for the Volgograd Region, Yuri Efimov, of mediating the transfer of a bribe. An elite foreign car arrested within the framework of enforcement proceedings, which the chief bailiff of the region decided to purchase through a figurehead, was put up for auction. Efimov acted as an intermediary.
