A court has recognized the evidence gathered by the Omsk Region Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee sufficient to convict 64-year-old Valentina Fedoreyeva. She was found guilty of crimes under part 4 of article 159 of the RF Penal Code (fraud) and paragraph “b” of part 2 of article 174.1 (money laundering).

The court and investigators have found that in 2007 Fedoreyeva was CEO of limited liability company Promtekhkomplekt, whose main activity was wholesale trade with household appliances, construction materials, machines and equipment, and submitted to tax office forged documents on deals with false information on the VAT subject to be compensated from the RF budget under those fictitious deals. Based on the forged documents 6 million 618 thousand rubles was transferred to the account of Promtekhkomplekt as the VAT compensation. After that Fedoreyeva legalized the money by transferring them as payment for purchasing bills of Sberbank of Russia, which then she chased and misappropriated.

The execution was levied on the Defendant’s arrested property – a piece of land, residential and nonresidential premises.
