MOSCOW, August 9. /TASS/. Candidates for significant positions in Roscosmos and at enterprises belonging to the state corporation have been undergoing a polygraph test since last year. This was announced by the general director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin.
"Since the summer of last year, I have introduced mandatory polygraph testing when appointing to significant positions in the state corporation and at our enterprises," Rogozin wrote on Facebook, responding to a comment from a user who suggested introducing a regular polygraph and full transparency in ownership.
In June of this year, the head of Roscosmos stated that the state corporation will continue to fight against idlers and crooks, despite possible reputational losses. In October last year, Rogozin said in an interview with Andrei Vandenko within the framework of the TASS special project "First Persons" that since 2018, according to the results of inspections, the internal audit service has initiated 22 criminal cases. In January, 26 criminal cases were already reported.
