According to the department, the case was initiated on the basis of materials from the district police’s economic security and anti-corruption department.
According to the authorities, the head of the municipality fictitiously hired an acquaintance from the regional capital to work in the construction, housing and communal services department of the local administration. The woman from Irkutsk did not fulfill her duties – she only received a salary. As a result, the budget lost more than 170 thousand rubles.
Investigators are gathering evidence in the case and identifying accomplices in the crime.
