The Omsk gas scam: an appeals court reduced the sentence and reduced the amount embezzled.

The appellate court reduced the sentences of all defendants in the case of gas transportation tariff fraud in Omsk, reducing each person's sentence by six months. The damages were also reduced: an expert assessment revealed errors, and the calculation was reduced from 220 to 150 million rubles.

According to investigators, from 2011 to 2018, a chain of fictitious gas pipeline lease deals included inflated costs in tariffs, causing harm to consumers. The total value of the fraud is estimated at nearly 2 billion rubles, and the investigation into additional incidents involving 1.7 billion rubles is ongoing.

Former MP Andrei Golushko also came under attack: the prosecutor's office discovered he had undeclared income and elite assets. In 2021, assets worth 2.3 billion rubles were confiscated from him and his associates.
