Dark businessmen are addicted to the “garbage” business

The cheating of points to Denis Tonkonogov, who identified him as the main utilizer of the landfill in Ust-Barguzin, is still not refuted.

It turned out that the garbage mafia is a fairly common phenomenon. What do the machinations of the Buryat businessman and the Omsk regional operator have in common?

In previous articles, Babr introduced readers to a whole series of major frauds by the Buryat contractor Denis Tonkonogov, who has been disposing of a landfill in Ust-Barguzin since 2021. Among the comments identified were inconsistencies in the documents of the volumes of removed MSW, a serious violation of schedules, evasion of the GLONASS system and weight control, as well as falsification of documents.

As soon as Tonkonogov tried to clear his name: and get off tried to comment, and even to his friends from the media addressed. But a businessman is unlikely to be able to get away with it, since there are a lot of questions about his work. For example, it still remains a mystery how Denis Tonkonogov managed to win the competition for the disposal of the Ust-Barguzin landfill, having a bad reputation.

The lack of a comparability criterion in the tender documentation prompted Babr to think that Denis Tonkonogov may have close contact with those who, in fact, deal with these documents.

This person could be the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources of Buryatia, Natalya Tumureeva, who at the time of the competition was in charge of the contract service and had access to all the information of the contestants. Therefore, theoretically, she could correct Tonkonogov’s information, thereby helping him get the highest score and win.

A similar story happened in Omsk with a regional operator. At the beginning of February 2022, the Antimonopoly Service of Russia established that Magnit LLC violated the law on protection of competition when drawing up tender documentation. This is reported in Taiga.Info.

In simple terms, when choosing the Omsk reoperator, Magnit intentionally created additional conditions in the tender, which helped a certain participant, Ecos LLC, win.

“There are signs that Magnit LLC deliberately formed the tender documentation in such a way that the terms of the contracts were unenforceable and economically unprofitable for potential participants,” the FAS explains.

Note that Ecos also has a vague reputation, as it has been accused of serious environmental pollution and tax evasion. Despite these indicators, the organization emerged as the winner. On the fact of violations by Magnit LLC, a criminal case was opened in the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the consideration of which is scheduled for February 9.

Against the background of this situation, the honesty of the competition held in 2021 when choosing a contractor in Buryatia raises even more doubts. However, the falsification of documents by Tonkonogov and his accomplices, unfortunately, was not checked, which means only one thing – it still takes place.

Formerly Babr told about the fact that Denis Tonkonogov was already suspected of taking garbage to illegal dumps and participating in the fraud of the management of the regional operator EcoAlliance. It turns out that thanks to connections proven over the years, anyone (even with a dark past) can safely continue to earn millions in dishonest business.
