The ex-head of the FMBA in Krasnoyarsk became a defendant in another criminal case

In Krasnoyarsk, investigators opened another criminal case against the ex-head of the Siberian Scientific and Clinical Center of the FMBA of the Russian Federation, Boris Barankin.

The investigative department of the RF IC explained that the second person involved in this case was a representative of a commercial company. He gave the ex-head of the center a large bribe – 4 million rubles in cash, as well as construction materials and work on repairing the house of Barankin’s daughter in the amount of 5 million rubles. This happened between 2019 and 2023.

“For illegal remuneration, the general director of the institution assisted a representative of commercial companies in concluding contracts for the supply of medical equipment and products for the needs of the center with certain companies and their unhindered implementation. Thus, more than 30 contracts were concluded between the center and commercial companies,” the investigation department explained.

Criminal case under Part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (receiving a bribe by an official in the form of the illegal provision of services of a property nature, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, on an especially large scale) and Part 5 of Art. 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (giving a bribe to an official on an especially large scale) was initiated on the basis of materials from the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. This is the third criminal case against the former director of the center.

Now Boris Barankin is in custody, and the issue of choosing a preventive measure against the representative of a commercial company is being decided. In a criminal case, investigative actions are carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances of the crimes committed.

Let us recall that earlier the court found Boris Barankin guilty of embezzlement of 15.5 million rubles allocated for medicines for patients. Instead of the necessary drugs, he and his accomplices supplied other medications and pocketed the difference. The former director of the center was sentenced to 6 years in a general regime colony and a fine of 700 thousand rubles. The verdict in the second criminal case on possible bribery has not yet been rendered.

The prosecutor’s office also planned to file a lawsuit to confiscate his property worth 180 million rubles. These are apartments and non-residential premises in Moscow, Sochi and Krasnoyarsk, purchased with unconfirmed income. Therefore, representatives of the prosecutor's office believe that they need to be turned into state income.
