The Maritime Territory authorities of the Investigative Committee have charged the head of Gornozavodsk District Aleksandr Afanasyev, 44 with a crime under Part 2 of Article 286 of the RF Penal Code (abuse of powers, committed by the head of a local government).

According to the investigation, in November 2014, Afanasyev aware that the list and cost of work under a municipal contract for the repairs of the District Recreation Center do not match to the work actually done, still signed false acceptance certificates.
