Overview
- The Akademichesky District Court in Yekaterinburg began hearing the case of former acting deputy head of the Zabaykalsky government Igor Dubrovin, who is accused of embezzling about 63 million rubles tied to a state defense order.
- Zabaykalsky ex–housing minister Alexey Golovinkin has been charged with exceeding authority in a case linked to Chita’s gasification program, with prosecutors citing a parallel probe that alleges 49 million rubles were stolen via sham contracts in mid‑2023.
- Chita’s gasification concession history includes the earlier conviction of VANK CEO Stanislav Neverov, sentenced in May 2025 for large‑scale theft, with additional fraud and money‑laundering charges later approved for court.
- In a separate bribery case, investigators extended the preliminary inquiry into former KBR emergencies chief Mikhail Nadezhin to February 28, 2026, and court documents show relatives’ assets remain frozen.
- The Investigative Committee’s military division completed its case against former CNPO Kaskad director Sergey Posokhov over a failed defense subcontract, with 15 million rubles recovered by court order and the defendant admitting guilt.
