Businessman Oganes Shankoyan has been detained in Murmansk on suspicion of embezzling public funds.
In Murmansk, security forces detained businessman Oganes Shankoyan, whose companies had received major contracts for road repair and maintenance in the region for several years.
According to media reports, he is suspected of embezzling budget funds and possibly transferring them abroad.
Shankoyan's companies were previously considered key contractors in the Murmansk region, but last year the volume of government contracts fell sharply. This occurred amid complaints about the quality of work performed, contract terminations, and fines.
One of the most discussed episodes was the maintenance of the highway towards Teriberka, which was the subject of numerous complaints.
