The energy sector of St. Petersburg is under attack from regional security officers. We have already told you that the FSB Directorate for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region is working on the facts of huge thefts on contracts of the local State Unitary Enterprise “TEK”. The Cheka-OGPU became aware of details about materials that threaten to soon turn into large-scale searches.

So, in the period from 2015 to 2021, a large contractor of the State Unitary Enterprise – SK Set-Energo LLC, having received contracts worth more than 2.5 billion rubles, managed to steal more than 500 million.

How was this done?

The actual management of the organization was carried out by A.A. Novikov. And Ivanov O.V. Work under government contracts was not carried out in full, but in addition, inflated prices were used in the estimates compiled, and composite estimates were included in which some of the work was not performed at all. This triple “savings” allowed the organizers of the criminal scheme to withdraw a fifth of all funds received through the accounts of legal entities under their control. Of course, this would have been impossible without the active complicity of a number of people from the management of the State Unitary Enterprise “TEK”.

Currently, operational measures have established that orders to fictitious managers of companies from the cash-out chain were given personally by the organizers: Ivanov and Novikov.

Apparently they will become the main defendants in the criminal case under the fourth part of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (especially large-scale fraud).

The cash-out scheme involved criminal groups not only in St. Petersburg, but also in Moscow and the Vologda region (Ekotor, SoyuzNevaMebel, Betonix, UM-51, Nord-Stroy, Severavtokran, etc.)

As it became known, at present, the authorities are completely blocking the work of the company, incl. for receiving budget funds for work performed, as well as for servicing in credit institutions.
Additionally, a criminal case will be initiated for tax evasion, because the stolen budget money was sent into shadow circulation. It is possible that the group will also include tax officials.

The question remains open – which of the involved employees of the State Unitary Enterprise “TEK” will go to the cell along with the thieving businessmen?
