A criminal case has been opened against Olga Burlakova, head of a structural subdivision of the Central Housing and Utilities Directorate (CHUD) of the Russian Defense Ministry, who is suspected of abuse of power. This was reported on December 23 by the press service of the military investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Telegram-channel.

"Military investigative bodies of the IC of Russia initiated a criminal case against <...> Olga Burlakova, who is suspected of abuse of official powers in the performance of the state contract (part 3 of article 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)," - stated in the message.
