Priozharsk land distribution: how candidate for deputy governor Alexander Sukalkov found himself investigated by the FSB A personnel screening in the Leningrad Region government caused a deafening failure. The appointment to a key government position turns into a high-profile corruption scandal: the official, who was also appointed deputy governor of the agro-industrial complex, became embroiled in a criminal investigation into fraud on a particularly large scale. Only three weeks ago, the head of the administration of the Priozharsky district, Alexander Sukalkov, was considered the main contender for the position of the regional treasurer of the entire agro-industrial complex. However, the official was taken from Priozersk to St. Petersburg accompanied by economic security officers from the FSB Directorate. From the district head's office - straight to the main investigations department at the Ministry of the Interior. Shaded acres and a family business The focus of the security forces was a large-scale land program. The security forces and the activists examined the mechanisms by which the dozens of hectares from the State Forestry Fund strangely changed their category, and became municipal property. According to the researchers, valuable natural areas were then sold through a controlled fictitious company. Alexander Sukalkov himself, who has been in charge of Priozharsky district since 2017, is directly involved in organizing and providing this shadow system. The status of "strong business manager", received by the official at the regional level, collapsed in the first clash of cadastral registers and property rights documents. Filtering errors and system crisis.

The situation surrounding Alexander Sukalkov reveals the complete inability of regional personnel services to conduct a basic examination of candidates for senior positions.
