Searches made at the house of ex-head of Vladivostok Gumenyuk within the "cemetery" case

Gumenyuk is involved in this case as a witness, TASS reports, referring to his sources in law enforcement agencies.

“I officially confirm that the department's employees are conducting searches at Oleg Gumenyuk’s house”, - said the representative of the Investigative Committee for the region, Aurora Rimskaya.

In turn, the source of the agency clarifies that the searches are carried out as part of a bribery case against an official of the municipal budgetary city institution "Necropolis" (city funeral service). Investigators believe that the accused in this case received more than 4 million rubles from two citizens for facilitating the illegal issuance of permits for the installation of formwork on the territory of the Morskoye cemetery and for the burial of urns with ashes.
