The specific name of the former official has not yet been disclosed, however, the media have already managed to "figure out" him.
A criminal case was initiated by law enforcement officers under paragraph "c" part 3 of Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This norm provides for punishment for exceeding official powers committed by the head of a local self-government body, which entailed grave consequences. That is, this is a qualified composition of the article, the act is punishable only by imprisonment from 3 to 10 years, the specific term is set by the judge based on the specific circumstances of the case.

Formally, the former head of the municipality is charged with paperwork and an order to make payments without the necessary documentation. What caused damage to the administration of an urban-type settlement in the region in the amount of more than 8 million rubles, this amount in accordance with paragraph "c" part 1 of Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is a major damage.
Law enforcement officers see in the actions of the ex-head a violation of the legislation in the field of procurement. The investigation found out that the administration of the Moscow Region held open electronic auctions, the purpose of which was to find contractors for the construction, as it required the construction of a capital facility. Auctions took place, the winner in the person of a specific legal entity was chosen. A contract was signed with him, the amount of which exceeded 8 million rubles.

The investigation believes that these actions caused damage to the budget of the village.
