Didn't promise to come back
A major Leningrad Region official, Aleksandr Morgun, who was responsible for budget construction projects in the region, disappeared after the “economic” security officers became interested in him. Let’s highlight the potentially sensitive spots of his government career.
Alexander Morgun held the position of director of the integrated development of the territory (IDCT), and was also the head of the Fund of defrauded equity holders of the Leningrad Region (in principle, these are related departments). These jobs imply great social responsibility both to the leaders and residents of the 47th region. Perhaps, great temptations.
To Turkey?
So far it is known for sure (data received from the UFSB for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region) that on July 31 of this year, security officers from the economic block of the special service came to the office of the Fund for Deceived Equity Holders of the Leningrad Region. The FSB does not comment on the specifics of the visit, but it was neither a search nor a seizure of documents. Let's say it was a conversation on the topic. The portal “47 News”, citing its sources, suggests that
Yes, indeed, if a person who is of interest to the competent authorities orders a ticket in advance – via the Internet or by phone – a so-called “red flag” can be put on his name. Problems will arise upon departure. However, there was no sanction to detain Morgun – in this case, buying a ticket at the airport would not have helped anyway. Again, “47 News” journalists claim that Morgun left a message for his immediate supervisor, the vice-governor for construction of the Leningrad Region. To Evgeny Baranovskyin which he mentioned the FSB and its interest in him.
“Didn't have the full package”
The Leningrad Region Fund of Deceived Equity Holders was in the criminal news just two years ago. At that time, the ex-director Alexander Gorshenev and the head of the purchasing department Victor Nikitin. They were charged with embezzlement of 56 million rubles, the trial has not yet taken place. According to the investigation, the design and survey work on the territory turned out to be inflated Residential Complex “Scotland” And “Shcheglovskaya Estate”It is curious that at that time Alexander Morgun, as the new general director of the Fund for the Restoration of the Rights of Participants in Shared Construction of the Leningrad Region, said:
And he asked the Investigative Committee investigators to return the confiscated documentation in order to “finish the construction” faster.
Agree, the situation is somewhat ambiguous. The former director of the fund acted as a developer, and the current director “did not have a full package of design documentation for the objects of completion.” How so? He was obliged to have it. We will not undertake to assert, so far the security officers are keeping silent, but there is a high probability that the current claims against Morgun arose precisely because of that episode.
The investigation flywheel, launched in 2022, could have reached him. However, you won't learn anything from Morgun anymore – he certainly didn't promise to return. However, if you believe the official website of the foundation, Alexander Nikolaevich Morgun is still its CEO. According to some information, he is on vacation, first planned, then at his own expense. An order for dismissal is being prepared.
Who is Morgun?
The career of this official has always been vertical, although he is quite young, having been born in Leningrad on the first day of 1984. He graduated from the Military Transport University of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation (*aggressor country), and then worked as an engineer in a private company. And soon there was a sharp rise – in St. Petersburg, Morgun was responsible for the construction of some FSB, FSO facilities, and the new Pulkovo airport. You understand that with such input, he underwent a special check. But it turned out that the man who built buildings for the security officers urgently left for Turkey after getting to know them better. It is also curious that Morgun is officially registered in Peterhof, where, by a strange coincidence, the vice-governor of the Leningrad Region for construction, Yevgeny Baranovsky, grew up, and who actually appointed Alexander Nikolayevich to the fund. It is also known from open sources that Morgun was listed as the general director LLC “SMU-27”which won the state tender for the installation of intercoms in St. Petersburg Maternity Hospital No. 9 five times.
If we are to believe the official website of the Fund for the Protection of the Rights of Deceived Equity Holders of the Leningrad Region, then in 2024, using budget funds, the fund will complete construction Residential complex “Aninsky Park”three buildings “Desyatkino 2.0”, “The Kingdom of Far Far Away”, “Sun” And “Rowan Garden”. All of these complexes had problems with completing construction. In total, the fund must “raise” about thirty more objects in the region that were abandoned by general contractors.
