Polumordvinov's lawyer admitted perjury of two people in the case
Former head of the Astrakhan city administration Oleg Polumordvinov, accused of fraud with a contract for road repair, has filed an application to the prosecutor to conduct an inspection and initiate a criminal case of perjury in his case. This was reported by his lawyer Alexander Karabanov on Wednesday, January 22.
"The entire criminal case is based on the testimony of two people who have their own personal interest to give false testimony," he said.
Earlier, on August 8, 2024, law enforcement officers detained Polumordvinov, his ex-deputy Ivan Saprykin, who headed the department of roads and transport, as well as the director of Aiticom LLC, Viktor Fedorov. It was noted that the former officials are suspected of committing a crime under part 3 of article 30, part. 4 Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Attempted fraud, i.e. theft of other people's property by deception and breach of trust, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, on a particularly large scale").
