Investigating Committee: state property worth 107 million rubles was stolen at the Domodedovo airport

The case of the predatory reconstruction of the runway is in the proceedings of the Main Investigation Department of the IC of RF in the Moscow Region.

“On October 21, the investigator opened a criminal case against officials of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise“ Administration of Domodedovo Airport ”on the grounds of a crime under Part 1.1 of Art. 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ('Negligence resulting in the infliction of a particularly large-scale theft')", - TASS reports.

According to the investigation, the thefts at Domodedovo airport with the connivance of the responsible employees lasted seven years: from December 2012 to December 2019.

The UK believes that the unidentified attackers from among the airport employees, due to their unfair attitude to the service, did not control the implementation of government contracts. In addition, they did not monitor the safety of the inventory items purchased for airport repairs. The result of such lack of control was disappointing: due to the actions of the robbers, the federal budget lost 107,203,300 rubles.

It was possible to uncover multimillion-dollar thefts at the airport thanks to an audit with the participation of experts from the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, who revealed a shortage of property during an inspection at the Federal Air Transport Agency.

According to the auditors, the missing equipment was purchased under a government contract for the reconstruction of the runway, taxiways and aircraft parking areas at Domodedovo airport. The shortfall amounted to over 45 million rubles.

According to the second state contract, which provided for the purchase of video servers, DVRs, switches, software and building materials, the shortfall amounted to 55 million rubles. Reinforced concrete pipes, fittings, pumps, heating cabinets, electrical cables and other equipment and building materials necessary for the repair of the runway have disappeared from the airport.
