Moscow. February 19. INTERFAX-Rosfinmonitoring revealed damage in the field of state defense orders for 9 billion rubles, 120 criminal cases were initiated, said the head of the department Yuri Chikhanchin.
"Unfortunately, there are also facts of crimes in the state defense order. With the participation of our materials, more than 120 criminal cases were initiated, 9 billion worth of damage was revealed, 2.4 billion were arrested, and 1.5 billion were voluntarily returned. And now, together with the FSB, we are working on a number of schemes related to the state defense order," said Chikhanchin, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
In general, he added, the practice confirms the correctness of the decision to introduce a system of control over the state defense order. "Together with the Ministry of defense, with law enforcement, we have managed since the launch of the law to reduce the amount of one-day firms by about 37 percent in the procurement system, reduced the number of suspicious transactions by about 40 percent, and in General suspicious transactions declined in the state defense order three times," said Chikhanchin.
