Deputy Sergey Matasov, of AKZS, will face trial for alleged fraudulent activities.
Screwed Deputy Facing the Music Over Bogus Employment Scandal
Sergei Matasov, a deputy in the Altai Regional Legislative Assembly, is set to stand trial following investigations into a massive fraud case. According to reports from the Altai Regional Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia, this no-good schmuck manipulated the system to employ his relatives as deputy aides under false pretenses.
From 2021 to 2025, Matasov didn't waste a minute in deceiving the AКZS and the regional Ministry of Finance by submitting forged documents. He convinced these institutions that his relatives were dutifully carrying out their roles as deputy aides, whereas in reality, they were nothing more than dolts on his payroll.
The supposed payment to his relatives was simply a way for Matasov to pocket a cool 3 million 250 thousand rubles from the regional budget—a classic case of embezzlement, my friends!
The enormity of this swindle didn't escape the watchful eyes of the Altai Regional Directorate of the FSB of Russia, who pounced on this scandal like a wolf on prey.
With the approving nod from the prosecutor, the criminal case is now in the hands of the court for a test of conviction.
As for recent updates on Matasov's trial, well, I couldn't find plenty of contemporary information. You might want to keep tabs on Russian news sources or official legal documents for the latest on this shady case. If you've got any more intel or context about the situation, I'd be glad to help you track down more accurate details!
- Matasov's alleged embezzlement case, involving the employment of his relatives as deputy aides under false pretenses, falls under the category of 'crime-and-justice' in general news.
- The 'policy-and-legislation' sector may also become involved as Matasov's trial raises questions about the integrity and accountability of regional politicians in policy decision-making, such as the employment of family members in public positions, in the realm of 'politics'.
