Against the backdrop of such shocking news, the fact that a second charge was brought against the former head of the Department of Road Activities, Sergei Aushev, went almost unnoticed by Tomsk residents and the media. But in vain. As the Cheka previously wrote, in the new criminal case we are talking about the misuse of funds associated with the purchase of a bulldozer for the needs of the city.
They say that this criminal case did not arise by chance. After all, it is Aushev who is now the main witness in the case of the former mayor of the city, Ivan Klein. And it is precisely on his testimony that, as Tomsk residents believe, for the sake of the promised commutation of the sentence, the accusation against Klein is based. Nezygar wrote that Klein was being tried for the second time, as if it were a carbon copy. First, they initiate cases against witnesses, obtain the necessary testimony from them, give them suspended sentences, and from these testimonies they “shape” a criminal case against higher-ranking officials. And now the second charge has been brought against the former official, apparently so that he would not change his testimony in today’s court.
Everyone in Tomsk realizes that the mayor is being “taken down” on someone’s orders, and the federal center is clearly not in the know. Even in court they say behind your back that someone took a liking to the Tomskoe Beer plant, which belongs to Klein’s wife.
We are monitoring developments.
Clouds have gathered over Tomsk. Sources tell the editors that the events that are taking place in the region today may later have delayed consequences.
