A constraint measure modification was conducted against a Moscow region businessman.
Clearly, much depends on such elementary personal qualities as honesty, and probity while selecting a business partner for forward-looking outcome. Not only reputation and goodwill, but even the freedom of itself might be shattered. And this was the case with an entrepreneur from Pushkinskij urban district.
Based on the refit contract with a management company, the businessman provided municipal cleaning services to the City of Ivanteevka. Unexpectedly, police officers visited in the office of his partner in March 2019. The CEO of the cleaning company was accused of money appropriation of total sum over RUR 20 million. Criminal proceedings, based on paragraph 4 of article 160 of the Penal Code of Russian Federation were initiated against him. The CEO was accused of either appropriation or embezzlement in extended large size.
The entrepreneur fallen under police suspicion also and was offended of involvement and had to ask the Moscow Region Ombudsman Vladimir Golovnev for support.
In accordance with the penal procedure, in case of violation over some entrepreneurial activity, imprisonment is unjustified for a defendant. Nonetheless, the businessman had been arrested on April, 3, and was charged on paragraph 4 of article160 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation on April, 11.
His appeal was considered by Vladiir Golovnev jointly with the first deputy of regional Prosecutor Valeriy Voinov and transferred further for a prosecution investigation to carry out.
As a result of this review the preventive measure for the businessman was changed for a bail instead of pre-trial detention. Thus a man, who, despite having 3 dependent infants on, had been imprisoned over 2 months was released.
Due to the fact the prosecution investigation has not completed today, the Moscow Region Ombudsman Vladimir Golovnev still continues monitoring the matter.
