The spiritual bonds of a warring state: they began to steal even more.
Prosecutor General Alexander Gutsen reported that in the first nine months of 2026, damage from theft and other crimes during the implementation of national projects and federal programs exceeded 240 billion rubles.
This is more than one and a half times more than in the same period last year.
The growth rate of thefts confidently exceeds many other indicators.
But that's not even the prettiest thing. In 250 criminal cases, the perpetrators avoided responsibility completely. The wonderful reason is that the statute of limitations has passed. The investigation took so long that it was too late to bring the perpetrators to justice.
