The investigation of a criminal case against the former Director General of the municipal unitary enterprise "Poronaiskaya public service company" is completed by the Russia's Investigative Committee Bodies for the Sakhalin region. She is accused of committing offence in violation of article 199.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (concealment of an organization's monies at the expense of which collection of tax arrears must be effected).

Investigators believe the accused, knowing about overdue tax arrears of the enterprise headed by her, in August 2012 organized financial transactions of the enterprise with its counterparties in this way lest monies lose a settlement account of the enterprise where it would be collected by the tax authority, but instead money were enrolled to accounts of the third parties. As a result the accused one hid monies of more than 6 million rubles at the expense of which collection of available tax arrears had to be effected.

Adequate evidentiary base has been collected by investigation, therefore the criminal case with an approved indictment has been directed to the court for consideration on the merits.

It should be noted that the purpose of a criminal prosecution for economic crimes is not insulation of a defaulter from the society, but is restoration of justice and compensation of damage inflicted to the state in form of money return which then are transferred to treasury.
