Investigative authorities of Russia’s Investigative Committee in the Vladimir Region completed the investigation of a criminal case in relation to the former head of the regional Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, colonel of police Sergey Gubarev. He is charged with committing several criminal episodes under Part 3 of Article 160 of the RF Penal Code (complicity in embezzlement, embezzlement using official position).
According to investigators, from the time of his appointment in September 2012 to his ban from service in September 2015, Mr.Gubarev demonstrated mercenary behaviour, so to say, confusing his own and governmental property. During the entire period of his service, systematically travelling to his family to the Lipetsk region, he used state provided petrol and diesel fuel in the total amount of 4.5 thousand liters.
During two years, from 2013 to 2015, on demand of the accused there were bought food products for his office, in doing so “losses” were written off to the workers of the utility department of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs Directorate as allegedly provided material help.
In 2014, Mr.Gubarev appropriated two TV sets, a tablet and a phone, transferred state property to the Lipetsk region and gave to his relatives and acquaintances. In order to cover up the illegal behaviour, the head of the regional Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs signed fake orders on awarding subordinate employees with the mentioned objects in the form of precious gifts. The stolen property was confiscated from illegal possession during the conducted searches and also was willfully given in by the accused and returned to the regional Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.
From spring 2013 to July 2014, in order to avoid his own losses and gain profit of intangible nature, the head of the regional Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs gave orders to the head of medical sanitary station to accommodate and provide living of his acquaintances and relatives in the institutional rehab facility which was used in such circumstances as a free of charge hotel. In order to compensate these illegal expenses with the knowledge of the head of the regional Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs material help was given out to the employees of the facility. This money was transferred to the possession of the management of the medical sanitary station so that they could carry out Mr.Gubarev’s illegal requests.
Moreover, from May to June 2014, upon Mr.Gubarev’s orders technical maintenance and service of two cars owned by his relatives were performed.
The body of crime includes 3 episodes of embezzlement and squandering of entrusted property using official position. Damage from dishonest official behaviour of the colonel of police is estimated in the amount of about 315 thousand rubles.
During the probe, the accused willfully transferred the mentioned sum of money to the Directorate of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs account.
Two other abovementioned facts related to illegal use of institutional rehab facility and buying food products, inflicting damage to the state in the amount of over 1 million 400 thousand rubles, are qualified by the probe as an abuse of office (Part 1 of Article 285 of the RF Penal Code).
Criminal prosecution of Mr. Gubarev in connection with these facts was abated due to an act of amnesty.
The probe collected sufficient evidence, therefore the criminal case with an affirmed charge will shortly be directed to the court for an indictment.
