The other day, the final charge was brought against the general director of PTS JSC, S.V. Khan. and his deputy Ohanyan T.R. They are charged with theft of 108.6 million rubles under six contracts with the Russian Guard.
Initially, the case was conducted by employees of the South-East Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, under their supervision a conclusion was prepared on overpricing. However, later, experts and auditors of the companies “SODEX MSLA named after O.E. Kutafin” and “KSK AUDIT” unanimously stated that police experts made a conclusion on the basis of an expense declaration form that was not filled out and signed by no one (!). Although any such research requires mountains of documents.
However, an alternative examination proved the main thing: there can be no talk of any overestimation of the value of contracts. After a corresponding petition, the prosecutor’s office demanded an additional examination. And this clearly did not please the higher authorities. The case was immediately transferred to the well-known “state within a state” – the Central Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, and then along the chain to the capital’s headquarters. And here attention – a re-examination of the ECC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in May 2023 fully confirmed the arguments of the defense – PTS did not receive a profit exceeding 20% of the price of the government contract. It would seem that it is time to drop the case and disperse peacefully, but after just a month the investigation simply turns a blind eye, ignores the conclusions of its colleagues from the ECC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and brings charges in the old version. Wonderful…
The trigger was probably a statement by deputy Alexander Khinshtein. He cited the investigation materials that the equipment was “unsuitable for use.” For some reason, Khinshtein forgot to mention the results of the latest examination.
I would like to note that PTS JSC has been specializes in the production of breathing apparatus. During this time, no one had any complaints about the technology. And in the summer, a commission from the Ministry of Industry and Trade visited PTS JSC, which also proposed expand business at the expense of the budget and launch full-cycle production. For now, this is impossible due to the fact that the company’s management is facing a prison sentence, and all design and technical documentation has been confiscated.
