The Primorye Territory investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee have finished a criminal investigation against head of project – Deputy Director of the Repairs and Construction Department Dmitry Mingalyov. He is charged with a crime under part 3 of article 204 of the RF Penal Code (commercial bribery).

According to investigators, in April 2015, Deputy Director of the Repairs and Construction Department Vladimir Nikitin offered Mingalyov to get constant inflow of money from subcontractors for assisting them to conclude contracts on construction works on the premises of the Primorye Aquarium with the Repairs and Construction Department. Mingalyov informed the CEO of the future subcontractor company about his capabilities and asked for that 10% of the total sum of the contract. After the contract had been concluded the Repairs and Construction Department transferred from its account 33 million rubles, while the accused received 2 million rubles, which was a part of the total bribe of 5 million rubles. The two accused divided the money.

The crime was solved with assistance of the officials of the Primorye Territory Office of the Federal Security Service.

The investigators have enough evidence, so the criminal case with the approved indictment has been sent to court to be tried on the merits.

The case against Nikitin has been severed to form a separate law suit.
