He is suspected of a crime under part 1 of article 201 of the RF Criminal Code (abuse of office).

He set the price himself, but the market price of the complex was over 121 million rubles. Later, in April 2011, being mayor of Rybinsk, Lastochkin reconciled the purchase of the complex for the needs of city water channel, but this time at the market price. The buyer was OOO Vodosnabzhenie (LLC) – an organization affiliated with ZAO Stroyengineering. This way Saturn suffered damage of over 116 million rubles.
