Defense Ministry Cooperates with Individual Connected to Voentorg Case on Contractual Basis
In a series of developments, several high-profile cases of fraud and embezzlement have been reported in the sale of goods to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Dmitry Gromov, a former top manager of the Dzerzhinsky sewing factory "Russia", has signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense to serve in the military. However, Gromov was arrested last fall on charges of fraud, as it is alleged that under his management, the "Russia" factory sold army kits to the Ministry of Defense at inflated prices. The investigation believes that the price of these kits was inflated by more than 400 million rubles.
The case involving the "Russia" factory is part of a larger investigation known as the "Voentorg" case. The "Voentorg" case involves allegations of fraud and embezzlement in the sale of goods to the Ministry of Defense, with the total value of the embezzled contracts exceeding 115 million rubles.
Denis Mikhailov, the general director of "Lentbythim", is also under arrest in connection with the "Voentorg" case. Mikhailov is accused of embezzling over 50 million rubles in contracts for the Ministry of Defense. The hygiene kits, which included items such as shampoo, liquid soap, toothbrush, razor, and sewing accessories, were among the goods sold at inflated prices.
The general director of "Voentorg", Vladimir Pavlov, was arrested last summer. Pavlov and his subordinates are also accused of selling hygiene kits to the Ministry of Defense at inflated prices from 2019 to 2022. The total value of the hygiene kits sold was 625 million rubles.
The "Voentorg" case is separate from the "Russia" factory and "Lentbythim" cases. The investigation is ongoing for both cases, with court materials being reported by RIA Novosti. It is important to note that the "Army of Russia" stores are not mentioned as closing in the article.
These cases highlight the ongoing efforts to combat corruption and ensure the integrity of military supplies in Russia. The search results do not contain information about who sold hygiene kits to the Russian Ministry of Defense at inflation-affected prices between 2019 and 2022, beyond those mentioned in the "Voentorg" case. The investigation remains active, and further developments are expected.
