Meschansky Court Arrests New Head of the Interior Ministry’s Economic Center for the Moscow Region in Fuel Embezzlement Case

The Meschansky Court in Moscow on September 16 ordered the detention of Gennady Peshkov, the new head of the Center for Economic and Service Support of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region. He took over the unit on September 10 and six days later was placed under arrest in a case involving embezzlement on an especially large scale.

According to investigators, fuel intended for police vehicles was illegally handed over to the Trassa gas station network. As a result, there was a shortage of gasoline for police cars in the Moscow Region, and the damage in the case is estimated at about 600 million rubles.

In the same case, investigators previously arrested the former head of the Center for Economic and Service Support of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Moscow Region, Alexey Suyarov. Among the other figures in the investigation is the deputy head of the regional Interior Ministry main directorate, Major General Sergei Malkov.
