The case was considered in violation of territorial jurisdiction, since money for construction went from the accounts of GVSU-13, which was located in this area of Moscow. Judge Diana Mishchenko of the Khamovnichesky Court realized this only after six months of hearings and, at the request of the defense, sent the materials to the court of the northern district, which aroused the indignation of the Prosecutor General’s Office, because the Khamovnichesky Court had already considered the cases of two pre-trial defendants, and such a decision jeopardized the main case. 
The Moscow City Court saw significant violations in Mishchenko’s actions and… returned the case to her for consideration. After this decision, the newspaper Kommersant published a note that the investigation into the case and thefts at the Ministry of Defense in relation to Chesnokov and Co. had been completed and would be considered in court, although it had been languishing there for six months already.
Chesnokov, who previously worked in the empire of billionaire Kovalchuk, is known for his participation in a number of developments by the “M” department of the FSB. In particular, the well-known investigator of the SD of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Svetlana Fesinets, who initiated this case against a businessman for embezzlement in the Ministry of Defense, ended up in a pre-trial detention center on charges of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. Fesinets considers Chesnokov to be the customer of his business. In the testimony of pre-trial investigators based on materials about the theft at the Ministry of Defense, names from Shoigu’s entourage were mentioned, but the main person involved was a St. Petersburg businessman.
