The director of a Krasnoyarsk company that operates school meals was fined a million for cutting portions

The court sentenced the 67-year-old director of Kulinar LLC, which is responsible for meals in Krasnoyarsk schools No. 155 and 133, gymnasium No. 16 and lyceum No. 28. The prosecutor’s office spoke about this.

In 2020, the administration entered into a contract with a company that at that time already had many years of experience organizing school meals. However, it turned out that the company violates the legislation of the region, which establishes a fixed price for products and a maximum markup of 13%.

On the instructions of the manager, the chief accountant prepared a menu with an inflated markup and a reduced weight of dishes. The cooks followed these instructions, using less food than required. An examination later established the difference between the declared value and the actual cost – the damage exceeded 860 thousand rubles.

The defendant did not admit guilt, saying that she acted in the interests of the enterprise to pay employees, and called the excess markup a common business practice.

The court found these arguments unconvincing, sentenced her to a fine of 1 million rubles and ordered her to compensate the budget for the damage caused.
