A court has recognized the evidence gathered by the Central Federal District Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee sufficient to convict former head of property management office of the federal state unitary enterprise FT-Center Timur Kashapov. He was found guilty of a crime under part 3 of article 30, paragraph “a” of part 4 of article 204 of the RF Penal Code (attempt to illegally get money for acting in the interests of the briber connected with his official position committed by an organized group in a preliminary conspiracy).
The court and investigators have found that a representative of OOO Inprom appealed to deputy head of information Policy Office of the Russian Federal Service for Managing State Property Vladimir Pinigin to buy by the said company in due order real estate, which could be sold in compliance with the list of real estate approved by the resolution of the RF Government, in federal ownership and under the charge of FT-Center responding to the State Property Management Service. After that Pinigin during a personal meeting with the representative of Inprom told the latter about his being acquainted with high-ranking officials of FT-Center Anvar Rustamov and Timur Kashapov and offered him for a fee to assist in giving the officials a bribe for illegal actions to create conditions under which a building in Nagornaya Street in Moscow could be sold in a tender.
At the same time Pinigin taking advantage of his long acquaintance and trustful relationship with Rustamov and later Kashapov agreed with them on the said illegal actions in the interest of Inprom for a fee. The officials named 17 million rubles as the fee, of which 2 million rubles went to Pinigin for assistance. After that Pinigin acting under the plane they had worked out together with Rustamov and Kashapov during several personal meetings with representatives of Inprom demanded from them 17 million rubles for the said illegal actions and explained the method of giving the money.
In late February 2012 Pinigin received from representatives of Inprom a part of the sum of 1 million rubles for his services in his office. Later on Kashapov in early March 2012 met with the CEO of Inprom and demanded to give him the same day through an intermediate 13 million rubles for his and Rustamov’s illegal actions in the interests of the company. After that in a commercial bank in Moscow the CEO of Inprom acting under special operation gave the official’s authorized delegate 13 million rubles, after which the latter was arrested.
The court found Kashapov guilty and sentenced him to 5 years in a maximum-security prison and a fine of 130 thousand rubles.
Pinigin made a cooperation deal and was also convicted. Rustamov escaped from the investigators and is wanted.
