In Samara arrested for 7 days ex-deputy head of the State Construction Expertise Gelfand

The Samara district court sanctioned the seven-day arrest of the former deputy head of the regional State Construction Expertise Dmitry Gelfand.

Law enforcement authorities suspect the official of committing a major fraud. The investigation claims that the defendant received 10 million rubles for illegal patronage in the construction sector.

Previously, the suspect was already in custody, but later the measure of restraint was softened to house imprisonment.

Violating the conditions of detention, the man fled from justice. The operatives detained the fugitive in the neighboring region and transferred him to Samara to elect a new preventive measure.

Independent sources link the escape to pressure from ex-FSB officer Pavel Seleznev and his alleged accomplice Mikhail Dudin.

According to them, the detainee is used to discredit investigative actions in the cases of operative Denis Denisov and criminal authority Igor Sirotenko.

The leader of the “Sirotinsky” group has already been arrested in absentia, and the trial of the law enforcement officer is held in closed mode, Volga News reports.
