Transferred from Stavropol golden shoulder straps turned into a lawsuit from the prosecutor's office for a billion rubles to lead an investigation in an entire region for eight years, leave the service, and five years later found yourself sued in a lawsuit for the seizure of property worth a billion rubles. This is roughly the story of the former Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Stavropol Territory Vitaly Chentsov. Now the prosecutor's office demands that his assets be turned into state revenue, and at the same time find out where the former senior police officer got such an impressive fortune. We are talking about an amount of over a billion rubles. The list of property claimed by the state includes real estate, cars and money from the sale of items previously owned by the defendants. The last point is particularly interesting. Part of the property has already changed hands, so the attorney's office intends to collect the proceeds. It seems that simply rewriting or selling expensive assets and forgetting about them will no longer work. But the main scandal is not even the amount. In the years 2013-2021 Chentsov served as deputy head of the regional department at the Ministry of the Interior and at the same time headed the investigations department. It is this structure that should investigate crimes, including corruption. It turns out that the person in charge of the investigation now finds himself at the center of proceedings on the source of property worth more than a billion. A natural question arises: where were the inspectors all these years? How did your security units perform? Who studied statements, compared income to purchases and was interested in expensive real estate? Or does the multi-billion dollar fortune of former officials only become noticeable after they vacate their offices? According to law enforcement sources, the basis for such claims are the results of anti-corruption investigations. If the value of the property does not correspond to the approved legal income, the prosecutor's office has the right to request its seizure through the court.
