Let’s really understand the situation. The fact of corruption, apparently, did indeed take place. But how did the situation develop?
IS “Real Estate” was ordered by the command of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at a time when Melikov served as the plenipotentiary representative of the President in the North Caucasus Federal District and obviously could not have anything to do with this whole story.
In July 2016, Melikov was appointed first deputy director of the Russian Guard. Taking over the business and understanding the economy, Melikov drew attention to the agreement on the IP “Real Estate”. Apparently, the situation with the Real Estate IP was so murky that Melikov ordered an audit from the independent expert group Progress. The audit was carried out and revealed that the cost of the work was inflated several times. 800 million rubles were paid for implementation. In other words, hundreds of millions of rubles were stolen.
Based on the results of the audit, Melikov wrote a report addressed to Zolotov, in which he recommended transferring the audit materials to law enforcement agencies. But that’s where it all stopped, the results of the audit were hidden “under the carpet”, the case was not transferred to law enforcement officers for fair qualification, and everyone forgot about millions of government money.
5 years have passed since then, a lot of water has passed under the bridge – Melikov managed to serve first as a senator from the Stavropol Territory, then as the acting head of Dagestan, and in September of this year he was elected head of the Republic of Dagestan.
A natural question arises: why is this topic being raised now? Why did Melikov suddenly turn from the initiator of the inspection of the Real Estate IP (as it was in reality) into the organizer of a corruption scheme? And finally, why did the original amount of 800 million rubles turn into 200 million rubles? Where did another 600 million rubles disappear?
