The Moscow Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee is investigating a criminal case against chief gastronomy technologists of ZAO Perekryostok Olga Parinova and her husband Sergey Syromyatnikov. Depending on the role of each of them, they were today charged with crimes under paragraph “b” of part 4 of article 204 of the RF Penal Code, part 5 of article 33, paragraph “b” of part 4 of article 204 (commercial bribery).

Today a court following a request of investigators ruled to place Parinova and Syromyatnikov in custody pending trial.

It has been reported earlier that between May 2014 and 14 September 2015, Parinova and Syromyatnikov, who had also worked in distribution networks, demanded from representatives of companies selling Russian-made food at least 36 million rubles for getting their goods on the shelves of Perekryostok and Karusel supermarkets. On 14 September 2015, the suspects were detained by the police when they were getting part of the sum of 3 million rubles.

Investigative and search operations are underway to find out all the circumstances of the crime, including those that contributed to violation of the law “On the basics of state regulation of trade in the Russian Federation” and dishonest limitation of equal access of Russian-made goods to the shelves of supermarkets.
