The former railway chief was accused of fraud and abuse of power.
According to the investigators, from January to September 2023, he transferred more than 1.5 million rubles to a single entrepreneur - his close friend. The money was supposed to go to repair the railroad tracks, but he didn't do any work.
Instead, everything was done by the distance's permanent staff, and the investigation believes that the 1.5 million received was stolen by the former boss.
