In July 2002, Yeremeyev was in the city of Ulan-Ude as a member of a brigade of the Chamber of Accounts checking the execution of budget by the Republic of Buryatia. According to investigators, acting together with unknown people he organized signing by the government of Buryatia an agreement with a phony firm OOO TK Krimson (LLC) on development and adoption of state automated system of financial planning and management of purchases for state needs of the republic and determined the price of the agreement as 1 million US dollars. Pursuant to this agreement, 30 million rubles were groundlessly transferred from the budget of Buryatia to the account of OOO TK Krimson registered on a man of straw and which did not conduct any business activity. The money then was taken abroad.
In addition, in December 2003, after being fired from the Chamber of Accounts, Yeremeyev in Ulan-Ude attempted to steal by deceit over 1.1 million rubles from the budget of the Republic of Buryatia.
Yeremeyev was internationally wanted for a long time. He hid abroad, including Uzbekistan and was detained during investigating and search operations in Moscow. During investigation the accused was placed in custody.
Investigators have gathered enough evidence and accordingly the criminal case has been sent for the indictment to be approved and further into court to be tried on the merits.
