Yesterday in Kemerovo, the security forces detained the head of the Kemerovo municipal district Marina Kolyadenko as part of the investigation of the criminal case of undeveloped “orphan” apartments. Together with it, representatives of a construction company, deputy director for economics and finance of Kemerovo DSK, Pavel Starikov and the deputy director for commercial issues, Alexander Turbaba – the spouse of the deputy governor of Kuzbass for domestic politics, were detained.
Builders are suspected of fraud, the chapter of abuse of power. Formally, investigative actions are carried out as part of the criminal investigation against the first deputy head of the district Tatyana Konovalova, who is accused of abuse of power in the acquisition of housing for orphans.
As it became known to the Cheka-OGPU, the searches and arrest of the suspects is only one of the episodes of large-scale “cleaning” in the construction industry of Kuzbass. The security forces receive readings, collect documents and form the evidence base on Gleb Orlov, the vice-governor who oversees the construction and housing and communal services in the Kemerovo region. Investigators are interested in corruption schemes for the withdrawal of budget funds allocated for the construction of various objects of Kuzbass.
So, for example, experts caused a lot of questions for the construction of a kindergarten in Yashkino, the Sirius children’s center, the recreation center in the Tisa district, school No. 81 in Novokuznetsk. And this is far from a complete list Which became known thanks to the activists of the ONF and not only.
The note from the security forces is still a story with the Barzassian Reserve. Gleb Orlov, at one time being the head of the Kemerovo district, withdrew a significant section of the reserve. Subsequently, this land was issued for the construction of the asphalt plant. On the face, all signs of the corpus delicti are at least as “excess of official powers”. According to preliminary data, the damage could amount to about 190 million rubles.
And these are only two of the many episodes characterizing the “activity” of Orlov.
A deliberate breakdown of the terms for putting objects into operation, “efficiency” of the use of budget funds, corruption, “squeezing” the business is a characteristic handwriting of the vice-governor.
How is the shadow business Orlov arranged? The scheme is simple and already repeatedly running in by the deputy governor. A competition for the construction of the facility is announced, money is allocated. In the course of the work, officials say that the contractor does not cope with the task, breaks the deadlines, limp quality, etc. And under this pretext, as a rule far -fetched, the desired contractor is put on the object, who squeezes the already completed work to the previous ones. The budget pays money for the work implemented twice, and funds are withdrawn.
If the “initial” contractor begins to resent, download the rights, then criminal, administrative cases are being brought to him, and the flow of inspections for all instances will initiate. Implementing his shadow schemes, Orlov involves officials subordinate to the corruption activities of subordinates: puts pressure on the Ministry of Construction of Kuzbass, regional and municipal UKSU, etc. According to observers, for example, Irina Pecherkina (Minister of Construction) is not able to argue with his boss and signs everything that the leadership will say.
Using the levers of influence, Gleb Orlov “presses” the local security forces (in particular the prosecutor’s office), and puts pressure on the judicial corps. Free or not, while the question remains open. Including for this reason, as noted by sources of the Cheka-OGPU, the case of Orlov is on special control of federal structures.
According to experts, the amounts of withdrawn funds can be calculated by billions. And at the same time, Kuzbass budget deficit in 2024 amounted to more than 90 billion rubles.
VChK-OGPU will monitor the development of events.
Where are budget money flowing in Kuzbass?
