Former official from the Kemerovo region sentenced to prison for embezzlement of more than 11 million rubles of budget funds

The investigation found that the accused, who oversaw municipal contracts in the construction industry, approved the payment for construction materials that did not meet the established requirements and conditions of the contract. Despite the discrepancy, these materials were accepted and paid for at an inflated cost, which caused damage to the municipal budget in the amount of over 11.4 million rubles.

The court sentenced the former official to four years in prison in a general regime colony. He is also prohibited from holding public office.
