The theft of fuel by a general of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs turned out to be the tip of a fraudulent pyramid

The criminal case of the theft of fuel intended for police vehicles in the Moscow region may be expanded. Telegram channel “112” reports this.

According to the channel, the fuel theft scam turned out to be the top of a fraudulent pyramid covering government contracts and credit transactions.

As reported by “112”, the theft of fuel in the rear services of the department in the Moscow region was carried out by a group of people - this is the former deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, Major General of the Internal Service Sergei Malkov, Colonel Alexey Sukhoyarov, Lieutenant Colonel Anna Levina, as well as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC Eurotrans Igor Martyshov and a number of his subordinates.

According to the structure of the pyramid, the management and beneficiaries of Eurotrans PJSC ensured the conclusion of large public and private contracts for the supply of fuel, including for the needs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. To obtain contracts, high-ranking employees of the rear units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were involved, who were paid monetary compensation. Based on inflated financial indicators, Eurotrans management received large loans.

According to law enforcement officials, the money was withdrawn in favor of the participants in the scheme, after which the company went through the procedure of deliberate bankruptcy. This resulted in financial losses for shareholders and creditors.
