Russian official faces graft charges over World Cup
Print Edition
RUSSIAN investigators are pressing graft charges against a former deputy governor of St Petersburg linked to the construction of a trouble-plagued stadium that is to host World Cup matches in 2018.
The Investigative Committee said in a statement yesterday that Marat Oganesyan, the city’s deputy governor in 2013-2015, has been detained on suspicion of embezzling 50 million rubles (US$777,000) on a single contract to supply display screens for the new stadium. It said Oganesyan arranged for a friendly subcontractor to win the contract and funneled the money out via shell companies. Investigators said they have filed a motion with a local court to jail Oganesyan pending the probe. One official in the St Petersburg city hall as well as three employees of the subcontractor are also under investigation.
