The general director of one of the companies who built the East, was the real sentence for fraud. In addition, in the case of embezzlement at the launch site were arrested two more persons involved. According to estimates of deputies and public figures, the certainty of punishment – it’s good, but you should not think that because of the “landing” strategic facilities will be built better and faster
From the bridge to the theft on the East.
«If a person is caught stealing, there should be something out of the ordinary that he was jailed»
pronounced guilty in Primorsky Krai sentence Director General of JSC “Pacific bridge-building company”, took part in the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, Igor Nesterenko, said on the website of the Investigative Committee of Russia.

Figurants withdraw funds in “firm-lived.” Stolen money they have ordered at their discretion “, – told investigators.

He said that the detainees were held in the building of leadership positions. “The investigation now intends to go to court with the petition for custody of detainees in custody”, – he added.
stern but fair
According to the deputy chairman of the Duma’s security committee, Oleg Denisenko, it is not necessary to the latest reports treated as something unusual, even if we are talking about crimes associated with such a large strategic construction project.
«If a person is caught stealing, there should be something out of the ordinary that he was jailed – said deputy VIEW newspaper. – According to the law, committing a crime, you have to be punished for it – regardless of the position or area of activity. Another thing is that we already have examples where the person seems to be brought to justice, and then it turns out that after a short time it is again free. The most famous example – Vasilyev (Ministry of Defense Evgenia Vasilyeva former employee – Take a look.). Hopefully, in this case, this will happen. ”
In turn, chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation with the PMC Public Chamber of Russia, Anton Tsvetkov said that the country’s leadership has been tasked to clear: to build a spaceport Vostochny quality, professionally and on time. “You can not steal anywhere, neither in private companies or in the state – he told the newspaper VIEW. – But when it comes to the construction of such a large object of national importance, people need to understand where they are working and that demand from them is special. ”
In addition to the penalties for the crime Tsvetkov urged to focus on the construction of a multi-stage control system of the state of strategic projects.
«Of course, other potential fraudsters and corrupt officials are brought to justice one of the offenders can produce a sobering effect. But we do not have to see the quality of construction number of “landing”. There should be no campaigning, you do not need to see each of the thief. We must clearly understand: if a person works professionally, efficiently, it is well done, as if stealing – let him know that he was ever caught exactly “- summed up the flower.
The deputy Denisenko also does not believe that the construction site will solve the problem of criminal cases.
«At times faster – it does not mean better. The most important thing in the East, to work was carried out efficiently, – he said. – As for criminal cases, they do not need more or less, you just need to get people in conflict with the law, received his due. And of course, you need to understand what the object is, how much it means to the country, what kind of damage can be caused to Russia in violation of it. It is also necessary to proceed. And there are no exceptions, extenuating circumstances for people in conflict with the law on the construction of the spaceport, can not be. On the contrary, what they do on a construction site should be an aggravating circumstance. ”
The guilty will be punished
Recall, Russian President Vladimir Putin on April 27 meeting of the readiness of the cosmodrome East made a series of harsh statements.
According to the President, Russia is the world leader in the number of launches into space, what is good, but a large number of failures – it is bad. “If it (failures) due to the sloppiness, a lack of control over critical processes, I want to understand, to see how the debriefing in such cases”, – he said and added that, “of course, will have to draw conclusions.”
He said that construction was going hard, had a lot of problems, in particular, opened six criminal cases, and four people are in custody: two – in jail, two others – under house arrest. “If found guilty, they will have to change the warm bed home on the prison bunk,” – said Putin.
In addition to the criminal proceedings and the proceedings are in the economic plane. So, Russia Spetsstroy sued 31 action against unscrupulous contractors in the amount of more than 4 billion rubles. 17 claims amounting to more than 3.5 billion rubles satisfied.
The main problem the contractor company called TMK CEO Igor Nesterenko which eventually was sentenced.
But one problem is not limited to TMK.
In February the searches took place east of “Aerodrome Road Bridges” in the Moscow offices of building the spaceport.
In December last year it was reported that on violations during the construction of the cosmodrome Vostochny has investigated 35 criminal cases.
In November, the head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Ivanov called East blatant example of corruption.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in October last year Spetsstroy criticized for poor control over 130 sub-contractors of the cosmodrome and marriage in their work.
