Criminal case against Teterin
In November last year, a criminal case was brought against a prominent public figure under an article about bribery mediation. Today, according to TASS, he is charged with three divisions under Part 4 of Art. 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“bribery mediation committed on a particularly large scale”). The total amount is 13 million rubles.
“De facto, these are proven, face 8 to 12 years in prison and a hefty fine if convicted,” a law enforcement official told the agency.
Vyacheslav Ivanov, director of OOO Uralshcheben, and Ibad Gurbanov, head of the Shabrovsky Quarry, are also involved in the case.
It was learned that during unscheduled inspections, Uralshcheben damaged nature by 400 million rubles. Probably after that Ivanov decided to bribe. According to investigators, Gurbanov gave it to Teterin. “Later, Teterin had to transfer the money to another “decision maker”, who then planned to give the money to a representative of the supervisory authority,” the Kommersant-Ural source said.
His lawyer said that in January of this year, the director of Uralshcheben LLC and an intermediary entered into a preliminary hearing agreement in the corruption case, and Teterin was arrested.
Quoting TASS, Dmitry Bushukhin said, “The bribe payer Ivanov and his intermediary Gurbanov signed a pre-trial agreement with the investigation, confirming that they transferred funds through Teterin to an individual whose identity was not identified by the investigation.”
He said they were the “owners of the quarries, that their business had a tax audit that revealed violations, and that they allegedly paid Teterin money to pass the audit without any particular losses,” he said.
“The amount of bribes 4.5 million rubles, according to Ivanov and Gurbanov 1 million rubles in cash, another 3.5 million rubles were transferred to Teterin,” Bushukhin said.
His lawyer assures that Teterin denies receiving money from Ivanov and Gurobanov. But he noted that there were financial relations between them: supposedly Ivanov and Gurbanov owed a debt to Teterin and he returned it. Bushukhin noted that entrepreneurs confirmed the existence of debt obligations to Teterin.
According to TASS, the second part is connected with Teterin’s mediation in the transfer of a bribe of 3 million rubles to unidentified law enforcement officers to end the criminal case against the director of Uralshcheben LLC. Teterin’s lawyer, however, noted that his client had a witness for this incident – he was in another district.
“Palych (that’s how Teterin is called in his close circle – about 66.ru) was close to influential officials, deputies and security guards, including federal ones,” an acquaintance of Evgeny Teterin told 66.ru. According to the publication’s interlocutor, Teterin “knew the various nuances of the work of high-ranking officials.”
Teterin called his trial “nonsense” on November 18 last year. “What else is economic? What are you talking about? Do you offer to bribe someone through someone sometime? So you can put everyone. I have nothing else to say. I think this is nonsense, ”the portal e1.ru quotes the accused. The defendant’s wife believes that her husband was a victim of unfair competition.
