To complete the construction of the Central Ring Road, according to Avtodor’s estimates, an additional 14.8 billion rubles will be required. The financial component of the project is not fully regulated, according to the materials of the Accounts Chamber. According to the report, the construction of the Central Ring Road over the year has risen in price, but has not come close to completion.
“In 2019, the project cost increased by 2.6 billion rubles. and now amounts to 315.9 billion rubles. Thus, the government improperly fulfills the president’s order to take measures to prevent an increase in the cost of the project, ”said auditor Valery Bogomolov after the audit.
According to Rucriminal.info, from the very first days of its existence, the Central Ring Road project turned into a banal “feeding trough”, which almost all those involved in the construction have managed to attach to over the years. The theft began at the design stage of the Central Ring Road and their bill goes to billions of rubles.
At the end of summer, the Investigative Department of the FSB of the Russian Federation intends to file the first charges in the case of embezzlement of 8.8 billion rubles allocated by the state for the construction of the Central Ring Road (TsKAD). According to our sources, the first accused will be the close associate of Roman Abramovich, co-owner of Metrogiprotrans Arthur Mints. His partner, the second co-owner of Metrogiprotrans Valery Abramson, also appears in the case, however, a final decision on it has not yet been made
The story of how giant theft was revealed is quite funny. The FSB of the Russian Federation investigated the activities of the extremist nationalist group "Northern Brotherhood". Her ideologists, including Pyotr Khomyakov, were detained. It turned out that they all held senior positions at Spetsmetroproekt LLC (engaged in geo-environmental research for the construction of the Central Ring Road). And they let the stolen funds to support the nationalist underground.
In 2012, Pyotr Khomyakov was found guilty of creating an extremist nationalist group, the Northern Brotherhood, which was preparing a coup in Russia, and was sentenced to four years in prison. At one time, Khomyakov was the head of one of the areas of Spetsmetroproekt LLC, which participated in the Central Ring Road project. He was the first to talk about large-scale thefts and called them organizers of people from Roman Abramovich’s inner circle. Khomyakov did not live to the end of his sentence - he died in the colony under strange circumstances. Rucriminal.info publishes Khomyakov’s testimony in full:
“A few days later I brought Troshkin to Volkov, who immediately agreed to take this position. We also agreed to draw up Mironov A.V., who by then had already worked at IMGRE and performed auxiliary functions under Volkov when implementing work under IMGRE contracts. Until the registration for the work, which took place on November 17, 2008, I selected the performers. The greatest difficulty was the selection for hydrological work, as a result of which I found a person for climatology - whom I remember (it was an employee of the Department of Meteorology and Non-Climatology of Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov), he, in turn, suggested finding the head of the hydrological department at the department hydrology.
Since November 17, 2008, I began to participate in production meetings held in the building of Metrogiprotrans OJSC, which is located next to the Paveletskaya metro station. Workshops were held by M. Yudin, and large meetings were held by A. M. Mints, with the chief project engineers (ISU), one of whom was a resident of Voronezh. The chief engineer of the project from the city of Voronezh is as follows: a man aged 55 to 65 years old, 175-180 cm tall, of thin build, with gray hair of medium length, with bangs to the middle of the forehead, a narrow protruding lower jaw, a sharp long nose, with eyebrows a little smack. I can easily identify this person. Meetings were held every 3-4 days, at which our department Mints AM, Yudin MA in coordination with the chief engineers of the project, the task was set to simulate the results of the survey work, which allegedly had been carried out since the summer of 2008 (despite the fact that these works were not carried out) and supposedly based on them to generate a report on the work done. In this report, on all survey items within the framework of the technical task as directed by A. Mints we had to include the available archival data, personal materials of the responsible executors or purchase materials for their inclusion, and also imitate the work in order to close all positions, in order to receive the first payment for the work according to the schedule of delivery of work. When the question of how to simulate the results of the work was considered at the meeting, the ISU from Voronezh proposed to simulate the work by photographing the terrain from the car window, which would be given out for carrying out route surveys.
The deadline for completing these works was 2 weeks, during which it was not possible to conduct field surveys accordingly, and therefore it was said that they had allegedly been carried out since the summer of 2008. As a result of the work simulation, by December 12, 2008 a report was generated based on the finished materials found, which were obtained from individual OGEI employees. The main acquired materials from archives and funds were received after December 12, 2008. As of December 12, 2008, the progress report was data taken from encyclopedias, textbooks, and personal data, in particular, Samokhin had data on hydrological and climatic series, and weather posts. ”
