The former deputy governor of the Belgorod region, Konstantin Polezhaev, was sentenced to five years in a maximum security colony and a fine of 36 million rubles for laundering budget money together with his accomplices through the Housing and Communal Services Reform Fund and the Regional Environmental Safety Center. But there is a nuance.
As Mash learned, the ex-official will not go to jail. Instead of a robe, he will put on camouflage and go to the North Military District zone. The contract with the Russian Armed Forces has already been signed. Having atoned for his guilt, Polezhaev will remain free, but will not be able to work in government until 2032.
According to investigators, ex-deputy Savchenko not only laundered money, but also placed his people in various offices and took 20% from each contract. After searches at the fund, Polezhaev began to testify about what was happening in the housing and communal services sector. As a result, an entire organized crime group consisting of a number of officials was revealed.
