Throughout its existence, the Moscow MFC was closed from unnecessary attention of journalists, control services and departments. This was done on purpose, because the “showcase of the city” can in no way be tarnished by any scandal that could affect the team's reputation Sergei Sobyanin. Nevertheless, high-profile cases, including the tragedy in the Ryazan MFC, forced the management to cover these events. At that time, the MFC management gave information to the top that all branches of the Moscow MFC were equipped with a panic button (KTS, which should be on guard and in case of an emergency the signal goes to the Russian Guard). However, a source of Rucriminal.info says that in fact, not a single MFC in Moscow had a panic button. They began to install them only in March of the following year. The contract was concluded with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Okhrana” of the Russian Guard – provision of services for remote security and technical maintenance of the KTS security. Agreement No. 547/22 dated 03/11/2022.
Why does this happen? Because throughout the entire time, inside the Moscow MFC there is a group of people who have considerable income from purchases that are carried out under 44-FZ.
Mainly :
– contracts for private security companies, cleaning, furniture purchase
– Operation and major repairs of premises and buildings
– consumables (paper, cartridges)
– IT procurement
Marketing can be highlighted as a separate line.
In 2023, unexplained changes occurred. In the summer of 2023, for the first time in the history of the MFC, an inventory of all premises where inventory items, as well as IT equipment and consumables are stored, was appointed. According to the interlocutor of Rucriminal.info, the work was carried out indiscriminately, already at the initial stage it became clear that the shortage could be calculated in hundreds of millions of rubles. The accounting department was given the order to “write off everything that can be written off”, letters and statements were sent to the branches to write off cartridges, office supplies, employee uniforms, etc. Each MOL in the MFC branch in 2023 wrote off non-existent positions worth several tens of millions of rubles.
However, it was not possible to close such a colossal shortage quickly. Including the employee who had been engaged in provision and procurement for the entire IT infrastructure of the Moscow MFC since 2014, he alone had a shortage of more than 200 million rubles. He was simply demoted and a process was organized to distribute his shortage across all branches of the Moscow MFC according to the following scheme, which is still in effect today. At the beginning of 2024, the IT Department ordered an “inspection of the centers in terms of IT equipment located in them.” Unlike the inventory, which takes place annually, this procedure was different in that no order was issued for this inspection. The inspection was led by the same employee who is responsible for the shortage of more than 200 million rubles, his name is Ilya Nikolaevich Govorov. Under his leadership, employees from different centers united in groups to tour all branches of the State Budgetary Institution MFC of Moscow in order to tour and identify all IT equipment in each center. If an employee from this group sees, for example, a monoblock, a printer or a surveillance camera, he signals Govorov, who assigns an inventory number to this item and moves it from himself to the center where this equipment is actually located. Needless to say, there is a lot of such equipment in each MFC. The situation is aggravated by the fact that throughout the history of the MFC, the movement of fixed assets between the device and branches, as well as simply between branches, has been extremely careless, often without registering the movements or any paperwork at all. The MOL (materially responsible person) in the branch might not even know that, say, a switch worth more than 200 thousand rubles was taken from his server room, since it was urgently needed in another center, since the server room is serviced by “its own” contractor (Avilex and Project Support). Moreover, some MFCs were used as temporary storage warehouses.
In fact, from February 2024 to the present day, a colossal fraud has been going on to conceal shortages in the MFC, in which several senior IT employees are participating with the connivance of management.
This is just an isolated case.
With a deeper analysis of the concluded contracts and contractors in fact working on the objects in the MFC, we can conclude that throughout the entire work of the MFC in Moscow, it is serviced by the same people, only the legal entity changes. And God forbid someone else gets involved (an example of this is the lawsuit with the company KASTA for the maintenance of building operations). The supplier of cartridges and drums for the MFC and printers is also one of our own. And so on in everything.
The corruption component is obvious.
Returning to the tragedy in the Ryazan MFC (there a man opened fire, two people died, four were injured), after that incident many thought that this misfortune would force the management to reconsider their view on security. Absolutely nothing has changed. In some ways, it has even become worse. Just as the employees did not have and do not have certificates and licenses for private security guards, they still do not.
The main thing for the management is to push through a loyal private security company on the terms that are beneficial to it. You can see the price of the private security company contract in the procurement, the information is open.
When analyzing the activities of the MFC, you can learn a lot of interesting things, the activities of the OVM inside the MFC, ownerless housing and much, much more.
For example, former managers and employees of the MFC in the management of companies engaged in deliveries, for example, furniture, which goes not only to the MFC but also to other government agencies.
Or here’s another way in which individual “teams” of employees enter leadership positions in other, newly opened structures, for example, the State Institution Social Treasury, to master new funds.
