Recently, on July 18, 2024, the Tomsk Region Prosecutor's Office reported that it had approved the indictment in the criminal case against Ivanov and Shatovich. The agency sent the materials to the court.
Anatoly Aleksandrovich is charged with organizing and leading the abuse of official powers (part three of Article 33 and part three of Article 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (*aggressor country)), and Aleksandr Vitalyevich is charged only with abuse of official powers (part three of Article 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (*aggressor country)).
What did they do? Allegedly, from November 2013 to December 2021, Ivanov, without legal grounds, took money from the reserve fund for financing unforeseen expenses to pay for housing rent. The prosecutor's press release states the following about Shatovich's role:
As a result, the damage to the regional budget amounted to 4.4 million rubles. There are many questions, but few answers. First, why did we learn about a new case against former officials of the Tomsk Region administration only when it was transferred to court? Second, who is hiding behind the “administration employee” and the “head of a non-profit organization”? Or is it the same person?
A woman can be a leader too (the security forces haven't yet learned to use feminitives). Thirdly and most importantly, the ex-governor Sergey Zhvachkinthat is, the immediate superior of Ivanov and Shatovich, again knew nothing, saw nothing?
Let us recall that they tried to call Zhvachkin to the Leninsky District Court of Tomsk to testify in the case of embezzlement of budget funds, but they did not find him. Although it is not very difficult to find him – he works in the head office PAO Gazprom (OGRN 1027700070518), which is located at the address: St. Petersburg, Lakhtinsky Prospekt, Building 2, Building 3, Building 1, Office 208.
