In Novosibirsk Region, head of Kupino District to stand trial for negligence in controlling construction of housing for orphans

The Novosibirsk Region Office of the Investigative Committee has finished criminal proceedings against the 62-year-old head of Kupino District charged with negligence entailing large damage and violation of rights and legal interests of citizens under part 1 of Article 293 of the RF Criminal Code.

According to investigators, in May 2014, acting on behalf of the municipality the accused concluded a contract with OOO Ekoresurs, a limited liability company, for construction of a block of flats for orphans and neglected children in the town of Kupino. 19 million rubles was allocated from the Novosibirsk Region budget to the Kupino District administration to construct the house.

The accused violated the due order of accepting and paying for construction for state (municipal) needs when in 2014-2015 he transferred the money under the contract to the said contractor without stage-by-stage acceptance of the work.

At the same time, the contractor failed to finish all construction works under design estimates: there were no staircases, window panes, inside and outside sewer systems, power supply system, outside or inside decoration. The total cost of not completed work exceeded 3.8 million rubles. Under the sum provided by the contract the contractor undertook to commission the house before 1 July 2015.

A court arrested the car of the accused in order to compensate for the damage.

The investigators have enough evidence, so the criminal case with the signed indictment has been referred to court.
