How hundreds of millions of LLC NPP EKRA were stolen and who protects the thieves

Tatyana Kachkova (pictured) was charged with fraud in the amount of more than 200 million .rub.

The money was stolen using a simple scheme – Irina Alekseeva, an accountant at NPP EKRA, at the direction of Kachkova, entered inflated false amounts in her payroll. As a result, in the statement, the salary of a particular employee grew significantly, and the difference was displayed on Alekseeva’s card. The contractor’s accountant was convicted back in 2014, and later a case was opened against Kachkova.

Sources say that the case of Kachkova dragged on due to the patronage of the head of the department for especially important cases of the Investigative Committee of the Chuvash Republic, Radislav Rodionov. It was he who impeded the investigation: they were taken away in the direction of the examination, the case was filled with unnecessary garbage and testimony, the process was dragged out. After the intervention of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the case was transferred to the department for economic crimes of the local Investigative Committee. The case moved forward: all the necessary examinations and investigative measures were carried out.

The former financial director of NPP EKRA, Kachkova, tried in every possible way to undermine the reputation of the enterprise (after checking, she was fired). She involved Mikhail Shurdov, the beneficiary and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Cheboksary Electrical Apparatus Plant (JSC CHEAZ), (pictured) in the information campaign of EKRA’s competitor.

Shurdov, not wanting to share the same field with EKRA, not only provided funding, but also participated in the dissemination of deliberately false information about the management of EKRA among the customers of the enterprise. The decision “on the refusal to initiate a criminal case” signed by Radionov R.R. was converted into a “decision to initiate a criminal case” against the director of the NPP EKRA and sent by e-mail [email protected] to Transneft, FGC, Rosseti and other companies.
