The Major Cases Directorate has finished the investigation against executive manager of OAO Belgorodenergo Vitor Filatov, who together with CEO of OAO Interregional Grid Distribution Company of Center (MRSK of Center) Yevgeny Makarov set up in Moscow in 2006 and headed a criminal community involving employees of a number of companies: Stanislav Milkin, Pavel Tishchenko, Alexander Pivovarov, Alexey Zelensky, to steal money from OAO Kurskenergo and from MRSK of Center. Depending on the role of each one, they are charged with crimes under Parts 1 and 3 of Article 210, Parts 3, 4 and 5 of Part 160 of the RF Penal Code (setting up and membership in a criminal community, organization of embezzlement and complicity in it).
According to investigators the accused were involved in withdrawing at least 240 million rubles from OAO Kurskenergo and MRSK of Center in 2008-2010 (50.23% of shares are owned by the Russian Federation) and transferring it to OAO KorSsis, including disguised as servicing information and technological systems. This way, in 2008, some of highly-qualified staff of Kurskenergo illegally were transferred to the Kursk office of KorSsis. Thus, the accomplices deliberately burdened Kurskenergo and MRSK Center contract commitments to KorSsis, fully controlled by them, and as a result stole the said money.
The investigators arrested expensive movable and immovable property of the accused and more than 1.8 million US dollars to guarantee civil actions and other pecuniary claims.
Makarov escaped from law-enforcers and is now wanted worldwide.
The investigators have enough evidence so the criminal case with the signed indictment has been referred to court.
