This was stated by the official representative of the UK Svetlana Petrenko.

“The Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case against the actual head of LLC“ Stroy Engineering ”and LLC“ VIP Service ”Alexander Khomenko on the grounds of three crimes under Part 4 of Art.

159 of the Criminal Code of Russia (“Fraud committed by an organized group on an especially large scale”), ”Petrenko said.

According to the IC, in 2017, 2018 and 2019 between the legal entities that were actually headed by Khomenko and the Sergiev Posad socio-economic technical school, ten state contracts were concluded regarding the performance of work on the overhaul of the technical school building.

"Khomenko and other persons who acted with him as part of an organized group misled officials of the Ministry of Education of the Moscow Region by introducing deliberately false information about the cost of the work performed in the documents," the UK said.

The report says that the accomplices stole more than 30 million rubles received from the budget of the Moscow region as payment under government contracts.

Also, the UK reported that, according to available information, Khomenko provided financial support to FBK.
