Under petition of investigators court dismisses head of city district Shcherbinka in Moscow charged with abuse of office

Court has granted petition of Moscow Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee and dismissed head of city district Shcherbinka in Moscow Oleg Zhishko on the period of investigation. He is charged with a crime under part 3 of article 285 of the RF Criminal Code (abuse of office).

According to investigators, Zhishko no later than June 2012, having interests in OOO Fundamentalika (LLC), illegally gave on lease to the company for 49 years 2 pieces of land owned by municipality “city district Shcherbinka” of Moscow Region, with area of 4 thousand square meters each. After that he issued permissions to build there maintenance units of a hotel. Then the accused issued permissions on putting the facilities into operation, admitting the site huts built there as objects of capital building, though they did not have any features of such objects and could not have been put into operation. Consequently the above-mentioned company received a right to register the site huts as property, which in turn gave the company a chance to get rights on the land belonging to municipality. Therefore, on 22 June 2012, OOO Fendamentalika and municipality “city district Shcherbinka” of Moscow Region signed selling contracts on the two pieces of land under which their price was a little more than 2 million rubles. However, the cadaster price of the same pieces of land was more than 13 million rubles. On the basis of these contracts the ownership of Fundamentalka to those two pieces of land was registered on 28 June 2013.

Investigation is to be continued.
