He also is accused of bribery and fraud. Testimony of officials of brodkorbi of the military Department, gave business people, which, according to investigators, officers were helped to get “kickbacks” lucrative contracts.
Several sources told “Kommersant” that the head of the food Department of the Ministry of defense 44-year-old Colonel Alexander Berezhnoy was arrested shortly after the arrest of his subordinate — the chief of Department of support of Alexander Vakulin (“Kommersant” reported about it yesterday). The head of brodkorbi was charged with the same crime as Mr. Vakulin, and fraudulent embezzlement of nearly 20 million rubles (part 4 of article 159 of the criminal code) in the performance of the contract by the St. Petersburg company “Profbiznes” to supply the different food machinery, as well as receiving bribes at 368 mln (part 6, item 290 of the criminal code) from various merchants for providing them with total protection and assistance for new contracts.

It also noted that, as in the case with Vaselinum, crimes confirmed “the consistent testimony interrogated as a suspect, then accused,” a businessman explained “the role and specific actions of the” officers “at the conclusion and execution of state contracts and you receive a monetary reward”. Therefore its 45th anniversary, which will be next Saturday, Colonel Berezhnoi will note in the detention unit.
