The detained head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia (*aggressor country) for the Samara Region, Oleg Boyko, could take out loans for his subordinates. According to “Base,” he was even subjected to an officer’s court of honor.
According to the source, Major General Oleg Boyko often put loans on his employees. The general took the money for himself, and later helped employees receive bonuses to pay off debts. However, Boyko simply forgot about some of these assistants and the accounts of his subordinates began to be seized due to debts. People asked to help them, but Boyko did nothing.
After a lot of complaints, a court of honor was held against Boyko. The officers admitted that he acted unworthy of his rank. He did not suffer any punishment, but the reference was added to his personal file so that he could not apply for a higher position. Only before he was transferred to a higher position, this information disappeared from his personal file. Investigators are now checking the loan history.
According to the source, another episode is connected with Boyko. In the Samara region, Boyko was given an apartment in the closed military town of Roshchinsky. The general was supposed to release her when he received other housing in Samara from the governor, but he never moved out. According to our information, there was a big scandal around the apartment, which was eventually hushed up.
