According to investigators, Vice Mayor Irina Shirshina, as well as an employee of the Penza mayor’s office, Tatyana Titkova, helped the former vice-governor of the Penza region Valery Savin illegally register the right to a plot adjacent to the lands of the Iskra-1 horticultural non-profit partnership (SNT) in Penza and located in municipal property, thereby committing fraud.
In 2019 Savina acquitted by courts of two instances – district and regional. On February 18, 2020, he returned to the government of the Penza region to the post of deputy chairman.
In 2021, he became Vice-Rector of Penza State University for Public Relations, which he holds to this day.
In 2020, a case involving regional and city officials was sent to the Ruzaevsky District Court of the Republic of Mordovia. Two years later, the judges delivered their verdict.
The investigation and the court found that the vice-governor of the Penza region Valery Savin, actually occupying a land plot in a horticultural non-profit partnership with an area of 844 sq / m and realizing that he had no legal rights to receive it free of charge, illegally registered the ownership right to it.
Irina Shirshina, deputy head of the Penza city administration, and Tatiana Titkova, head of the decision-making department for registration of rights to land plots of the Urban Planning and Architecture Department of the Penza city administration, assisted him in committing fraud.
As a result of their joint illegal actions, the acting administration of the city of Penza, unaware of the criminal intent, signed a resolution on the granting of a land plot to Savin free of charge.
In June 2016, Savin formalized the ownership of this property, thereby causing property damage to the municipality “City of Penza” in the amount of 460 thousand rubles.
