The Court found the evidence collected by the Siberian Federal District Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee sufficient to convict former chief inspector of inspectorate on control of federal financial support fund in subjects of the Russian Federation of the Chamber of Accounts Pavel Yeremeyev. He is found guilty of committing a crime under paragraph “b” of part 3 of article 159 of the RF Criminal Code (fraud committed by a group of persons under a preliminary conspiracy and on a grand scale) and part 3 of article 30, part 4 of article 159 (attempted swindling).
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.
The Court sentenced Yeremeyev to 5 years imprisonment to be served in general regime prison.
