The Ulyanovsk Region authorities of the Investigative Committee continue an investigation against deputy of the Ulyanovsk Region legislative Assembly, former CEO of OAO Tryokhsosensky Factory Mikhail Rodionov, charged with a crime under Part 2, item “b” of Article 199 of the RF Penal Code (evading payment of taxes on a very large scale).
According to the investigation, in 2013, the accused evaded paying excise duties for the products produced and sold by his factory. He used a criminal scheme of lowering the amount of actually sold alcohol production and because of that the federal budget did not get more than 2 billion rubles.
On 23 December 2015, Leninsky District Court of Ulyanovsk changed the restraint from release on recognizance to a bail of 20 million rubles following the request of the lawyers and the accused. Before that, Rodionov was put on a wanted list. He did not show up to make a bail protocol, but transferred the money by bank transfer and immediately after that departed abroad having sent notice that he was going to live in French cities Nice, Paris and Toulouse without specifying the address. Rodionov was questioned as a suspect on 20 January and then submitted documents confirming his staying in the town of Courchevel.
At present, due to the fact that the accused has repeatedly ignored investigator’s request to show up for questioning and violated the court decision, the investigators have asked the court forfeit the 20 million rubles bail to the state. The investigation is ongoing.
