The participants in the scam, according to the investigation, expected to receive 15 billion rubles, and in the future – a percentage of the company's turnover.
In the course of the investigation conducted by the Main Investigation Department (GSU) of the ICR, Grigory Zherenov fully admitted the charges against him, concluded a cooperation agreement with the Prosecutor General's Office and actively assisted in establishing the truth in the case. In this regard, his criminal case was separated into a separate proceeding and sent to the Khoroshevsky District Court of Moscow, which will consider it in a special order.
