The list of such companies is very long, but we will focus only on a few.

Scandals and litigation
Sergei Alexandrovich Shilov got into a loud scandal in 2018, when he was arrested, although the crime had been committed earlier, but first things first. The Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation accused him of complicity in the abuse of official powers under Article 33 and Part 3 of Article 285 of the Criminal Code of Russia. It is noteworthy that a year later the Investigative Committee stopped the prosecution of the businessman due to the lack of corpus delicti. He simply “made contact” with law enforcement officers.
Convenient, isn’t it? Confessed, repented and free ….
What then happened?
FSB officers arrested S.A. Shilov, the author of the project for the installation of ISOD (intelligent system for ensuring activities) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The entrepreneur was accused of inciting abuse of office. It was he who contributed to the crime. Shilov persuaded another person involved in the criminal case, namely the customer of this system from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, A. Nechaev, to pay for work in progress in the amount of 1.4 billion rubles. By the way, as it turned out, earlier Nechaev even worked for Shilov at AT Consulting. Coincidence? We don’t think.
At first, S.A. Shilov had nothing to do with ordering the ISOD for law enforcement officers. The state contract was intended for the specialized NIIAA Academician Semenikhin. Only they didn’t even think to deal with a complex project there, but simply handed it over to Shilov’s company “Ati Consulting”and they themselves remained only as an intermediary.
Nechaev himself was arrested in 2017, and Shilov the following year. Sergei Aleksandrovich admitted his guilt, allegedly repented, and even, as the media wrote, began to compensate for the billions in damage caused by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. As a result, in the spring of 2019, the Investigative Committee decided to abandon the criminal prosecution of Shilov due to the lack of corpus delicti. As they say, S.A. Shilov is a swindler with a mind who will get out in any case.
To be continued.
