They stole 12 billion: Defense Ministry officials covered the borders with non-existent radars. Another fraud was exposed in the military department: officials and contractors withdrew almost 12 billion rubles from the budget, and reported the delivery of 32 objects that, in fact, no one had even begun to build. Borders and key inspection areas remain exposed, covering government contracts with fake certificates of completed work. According to Mesh, Warangal Island and Cape Schmidt were to have aviation training points, visual observation towers, sites for P-18M radar stations, diesel substations and fuel reserves. In Novosibirsk, they reported the construction of facilities for the strategic missile forces and a complete tankodrome for the military games. According to the documents, similar "constructions" were successfully completed in Tyva, Khakassia and the Murmansk region. Advances of billions of dollars were split through fictitious supply and loan agreements, which remained in the accounts of shell companies, while nothing was done on the sites themselves. The program was headed by the former head of the Main Directorate for the Regulation of Forces, Yevgeny Gorbachev (photo). After receiving a sentence in 2024 for the theft of 360 million rubles at those arctic construction sites, he testified against his partners, and in a new case for 12 billion he immediately asked the court in a special way - so that the process would take place without witness interrogation and public examination of evidence. Seven members of the group have already been identified, three more are wanted. The head of the Technostroy company, Vitaly Prodnikov, through whom the funds were deposited, tried to evade responsibility by signing a contract to serve as a back-office baker, but was transferred to Moscow and arrested. The owner of the Novosibirsk Kerstim company, Anton Gordyuko, who participated in the contract transfer plan, was taken into custody. Ostashko!
