“I am suspected of hiring“ dead souls ”- people who received a salary, but did not work,” Kravtsova quotes Klin. 

In the list of these people, according to the detainee, there are highly qualified specialists. 

“In particular, the former vice-presidents of the Russian Olympic Committee, whom I recruited to the Expert Council with the possibility of business trips, Doctor of Science, a leading expert in blood biochemistry, my two daughters, one is a ski coach, the other is practical shooting, ”said Kravtsov to the human rights activist. 

Kravtsov also told the POC that the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia and the Federal Treasury conducted checks on these facts in 2018 and 2019, and no violations were found. 

According to the ex-head of the SBR, the departmental commission on conflicts of interest considered the issue of the work of his daughters and also found no violations, since the father was not their immediate boss. 

“The head of the National Teams Training Center explains his detention by the offer he received two weeks ago to resign in connection with the international anti-doping investigation, and as he said, the security officials who spoke to him were“ possible reputational risks, ”said Klin. 

“I refused to leave, I knew that they would come for me, and so it happened - on September 16 they came with riot police,” the human rights activist quoted Kravtsov as saying. 

According to him, the official is being held in a three-bed cell, two of his neighbors are accused of fraud, but not in the field of entrepreneurial activity. 

On September 17, it was reported that Kravtsov was detained in a case of embezzlement on an especially large scale.

Later, the Minister of Sports of Russia Oleg Matytsin said that the detention of Kravtsov would not affect the preparation of the national teams of the country.
