In Yugra, specifically the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, authorities from the Ministry of Internal Affairs detained the head of a regional oil depot. He allegedly siphoned off a staggering 380 tons of fuel from the facility he was entrusted to oversee. The financial impact was estimated at roughly 15 million rubles, and the suspect is said to have personally appropriated the entire sum. He had held the leadership role for just over a year, with the leakage spanning from February 2020 through March 2021, according to official disclosures.
Throughout that period, the depot manager allegedly concealed the true level of fuel on the site from senior management. He also provided misleading information to the accounting department, a detail reported by MIA Media. The scheme involved routing the illicitly obtained fuel using the company’s own fuel truck, after which it was sold to various buyers for cash. Following his arrest, investigators opened a criminal case under the qualified part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for theft of property on a particularly large scale, a charge described in official documents and covered by contemporary public reporting [attribution: MIA Media].
