In Primorye, the scheme of money laundering for 47 million rubles was suppressed.

The prosecutor's office of Primorsky Krai stopped the scheme of money laundering for 47 million rubles. The agency announced this on November 12 in its Telegram channel.

"The prosecutor's office has identified and suppressed a scheme of money laundering aimed at illegally cashing out budget funds," the publication says.

According to the investigation, in 2021, a contract was signed between the administration of the Oktyabrsky Municipal District and a contractor organization, according to which the reconstruction of the water supply system in the village of Pokrovka was to take place.

Despite the fact that the actual amount of work amounted to 44 million rubles, the contractor demanded 91 million rubles. Upon completion of the investigative work, it was found that the price was unduly inflated.

A criminal case was opened on this fact under Part 4 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Fraud committed by an organized group or on an especially large scale").
