Corruption of big stars
Meanwhile, last week there were rumors that Pereslegin, who has family relations with the Chief of General Staff General of the Army Nikolai Makarov, planned to appoint Commander of the Western Military District instead of Colonel General Arkady Bakhin. They say that it was thanks to the protection of Makarov Pereslegin achieved career heights in military service. However, the GVSU, on the application of one of the former subordinates of Pereslegin, incriminated the latter with a fake certification, in which he “indicated negative and untrue information about the job preparation” of the officer. As a result, this officer was illegally dismissed from military service. He is seeking justice, so that the initiation of criminal proceedings against Pereslegin looks quite logical and fair. As informed "NG" informed sources in the military justice, the garrison court of Rostov-on-Don has already confirmed the fact of handwriting Pereslegin fake certification.
In the post-Soviet stories This is the first case in the Russian army when the chief of staff of the military district can be punished for abuse of power. Although major criminal cases against the generals, unfortunately, are not uncommon. Last week, the trial was completed in the case of the former head of the Main Military Medical Directorate (GVMU) Alexander Belevitin, who received a bribe of 180 thousand euros when purchasing tomographs. Until some time, Belevitin, like Pereslegin, was considered an elite general of the Ministry of Defense. There were also rumors around him that the protection was supposedly created by President Vladimir Putin himself, whose wife Belevitin operated on. However, rumors soon dissipated. Belevitin received the longest sentence for generals in the post-Soviet criminal history of the Armed Forces - eight years in prison. In March last year, Major General Anatoly Bashlakov, the former head of the Main Directorate of Educational Work of the RF Armed Forces, was convicted. That is, a person who must teach morality to the foundations of the army and fleet, turned out to be an elementary crook. The general was sentenced to seven years in prison for receiving a bribe in the amount of 700 thousand rubles. In 2000, the chief financier of the Ministry of Defense, Colonel General Georgy Oleinik, was sent to jail for the case of scandalous offsets with Ukraine.
As it turns out, the punishment of generals is only the tip of the iceberg. According to the military justice authorities, the army and navy were overwhelmed by misconduct, theft and bribery. The GVSU notes that over the five months of 2012 of the year, military investigators registered over 4,1 thousands of crimes. Almost half of them (more than 1,8 thousand) accounted for military crimes, in which a significant proportion is associated with corruption.
General Pereslegin is accused of abuse of office.
A frame from the news story of the NTV channel
Army investigators record an increase in crimes related to official forgery and abuse.
In February, the 2012 of the Year, the Main Military Prosecutor's Office, noted that every third criminal act committed by the military in 2011 was connected with corruption. Almost half of them are fraud and official forgery, more than a third is bribery, abuse and abuse of power. According to the Deputy Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation, Chief Military Prosecutor Sergey Fridinsky, in 2011, 144, commander of military units, was convicted of “various corruption offenses against military property and budget funds”. At the request of military prosecutors, over 248 thousand violations of the law were eliminated, more than 11 thousand illegal legal acts were abolished, about 40 thousand violators were brought to various types of responsibility for various violations. Restored rights over 600 thousand military and other citizens, almost 4 billion rubles returned to the state treasury.
Yesterday, it also became known that Rear-Admiral Sergei Kozlov, head of the military topographical department of the General Staff, became involved in a criminal case on the unlawful distribution of nautical charts. According to GVSU of the RF IC, “a criminal case was initiated against Kozlov under art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (abuse of authority causing serious consequences). ” The chief topographer of the General Staff ordered the conclusion of licensing agreements with commercial firms for the publication of navigation maps. That, according to the investigation, caused damage to the state amounting to more than 9,5 million rubles.
Thus, while in the bottoms they are trying to give the army (as instructed from above) a new look, certain generals and admirals discredit the Armed Forces in full, as they say, to the program.
