In the case of supplying low-quality body armor to the Ministry of Defense, sentences began to change

The Moscow City Court commuted the sentence of Vyacheslav Portyannikov, convicted in the case of supplying low-quality bulletproof vests to the army. TASS writes about this.

Portyannikov's real seven-year sentence was replaced with a suspended one.

According to investigators, employees of the Piket company committed the theft of at least 2.4 billion rubles allocated by the Ministry of Defense as part of a government contract for the supply of protective equipment. The company supplied the army with more than 20 thousand bulletproof vests that do not meet accepted standards. The convict was an intermediary in the transfer of a bribe, which was received by officials of the Russian Ministry of Defense for securing the conclusion of a contract with the company.
