And a hundred million few, or To whom Russian troubles bring benefit?
It was just such a kiddy, a boy, a boy, a boy, a boy, but from that even a lord who didn’t burst, this far from being the largest regional official. It would seem that only some kind of head of the administration of roads and road activities in the Voronezh region, Alexander Trubnikov. On May 29, FSB officers appeared in his personal account, forcing Mr. Trubnikov to put his hands on the wall and took out three packs of five-thousand bills with a total amount of 1 million 250 thousand rubles from his desk drawer. The Voronezh official received this money from the director of the company Voronezhavtodor OJSC, Mr. Smirnov, as a kickback for work on the construction of roads in the region.
The investigation has information that Mr. Trubnikov only in the month of May managed three times to accept the "sliding gifts" from the head of the road construction organization. The total amount of the monthly cash “allowance” (excluding salaries and bonuses) of Mr. Trubnikov in this way amounted to 2 million 650 thousand rubles. True, in the latter case, Trubnikov did not succeed in using the “gifts” ...
But is 2,65 a million rubles for a Russian official? Is this a ceiling of possibilities? .. And in this case it turned out that it was not. During a search in the house of a detained official, they found, no less than, 140 million rubles in cash. And all the millions in rubles - in their own national currency. Yes, Trubnikov, it turns out, we have a patriot ...
Perhaps, Evgeny Vasilyev or some Ahmed Bilalov there, hearing about such a sum, would hardly have been impressed, but the roads in Voronezh are, of course, not the property of the Ministry of Defense or the Sochi Olympic facilities ...
140 million rubles ... In bags, boxes, boxes of tables, and even barrels. Poor, poor Trubnikov. How was it possible to live in such conditions at all? There is no place to put even your bureaucratic leg: wherever you go, there are bills everywhere. And the last three packs of five thousandths, the road head of the Voronezh region, apparently, were needed in order to put them under one of the legs of the table, full of other bills - so as not to falter ...
The representatives of the investigating authorities took a long time to put the bundles of money on a horizontal surface. How much time was spent on the recalculation of all bills separately - not reported. Here it was necessary to count at least sixteen hands in order to manage in the morning ...
Where so much cash is in the house, Mr. Trubnikov could not explain to the investigators. He could, like any self-respecting regional (and not only regional, by the way), Russian official, declare only that this is pure provocation, and that it was the same Boris Smirnov who brought the third part of the big pullback to his office. If to proceed from their words of Trubnikov, then, apparently, businessman Boris Smirnov in the form of provocation also 140 millions in his house dragged ...
After the arrest of Alexander Trubnikov, who in the Voronezh region had already been christened "Sasha Five Percent" (in terms of percentage volumes of kickbacks from transactions with road companies), it turned out that he was the stepbrother of Yuri Trubnikov - the driver of Voronezh governor Gordeyev. Surprisingly, before entering the Voronezh administration (at different, as you can see, positions), the Trubnikov brothers did not contact for 40 years ...
It is noteworthy that Alexander Trubnikov himself was an agrarian by education, and until 2009, he was headed by no means the largest company, ZAO Khlevenskaya Specialized Mobile Mechanized Column of the Lipetsk Region. What merits have provided him the management of the regional road economy, we can only guess. And all the assumptions go in the direction of the current Voronezh governor, who, obviously believing that the fall of Trubnikov might somehow hurt him, said that the quotation: “we had no untouchables in the region, and no”.
So what we have in this situation. We have the following: a regional official of far from the highest status can afford to keep 140 millions of rubles at home, without being able to explain where these funds come from ... And how many such "Trubnikovs" are in Russia. One, two, three? .. Unfortunately, not even four. In each region of our boundless country such “sons of the people” sit and in considerable numbers. One takes kickbacks on the roads, the second takes on housing construction, the third takes control of business activities, the fourth takes kickbacks from those who took kickbacks ... And so on, on, on ... These Vasilyev-Trubnikov-Bilalov-Serdyukov and others Russia literally tied hand and foot.
Is it any wonder after this that in our country the cost of one kilometer of road is on average 2,9 times higher than in the United States of America, and 8 times higher than in China. After all, here it is also necessary to lay the comfortable life of the Trubnikov officials and their family members. And is it any wonder that the stadiums under construction and other sports facilities in Russia, with their value, put even experts into a stupor? For example, the consultant of the world football championships and the director of the sports arena in Cologne, Hans Rutten, thinking about the cost of Zenit Arena in St. Petersburg exceeding the 32 billion rubles in St. Petersburg, said: "I can not imagine such a stadium, it looks like a bad joke." Well, he could have imagined if he had taken into account all the "Trubnikov comrades" who really want to eat even when the new banknotes are already beginning to crunch under their feet.
Let us return, however, to the “culprit” of the appearance of this material. What does he face under our harsh laws? And it threatens him, as it became known, the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with the number 159 "Fraud". Like, he couldn’t provide any administrative preferences to briberyrs - he was deceiving people, you know ... Strange wording.
The question arises: if I could? In general, however, under this article Mr. Trubnikov can wait for such a punishment as a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles ... To pay him, the head of the road sector of the region will only have to pull one of the packs out from under the legs of the kitchen table ... There are True, another option is 5 years of real life. But we have with real deadlines, even for former officials lately, it’s somehow difficult.
