Kamchatka Territory investigating bodies of the Russian Investigative Committee have finished investigating a criminal case against Andrey Fomenko, former head of Federal State Property Management Agency in Kamchatka Territory. He is charged with two crimes under part 1 of article 286 of the RF Criminal Code (exceeding official powers).
Federal State Property Management Agency in Kamchatka Territory had in its disposal see crafts confiscated by the court for poaching. The said property as a tool of poaching was subject to be sold at an auction or destroyed if it was impossible to sell it.
According to investigators, in September 2011 head of Kamchatka Territory office of Federal State Property Management Agency on the instructions of one of deputy heads, violating the current legislation issued illegal orders giving 15 ships confiscated under the court decision, to federal state unitary enterprises in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the Republic of Mari-El. The same actions concerning two more ships were committed by the official in November 2011. In their turn those unitary enterprises sold the ships or gave them on lease.
This way, the illegal actions of the accused inflicted on the Russian Federation damage in the amount of more than 45 million rubles.
Investigators have gathered enough evidence, therefore, the case with the approved indictment has been forwarded to the court to be tried on the merits.
Criminal files against deputy head of Federal State Property Management Agency were severed in a separate law suit and sent to Moscow main Investigations Directorate to decide over organization of a procedural check.
