In 2015, the service ordered "Atexu" erection of "Object 53" - the house of receptions in "Novo-Ogaryovo", for work was allocated 5.7 billion rubles. The work was not completed, and the FSO seized the penalty from "Atax". And in March 2017 violations during the construction of "Object No. 3" became the subject of a criminal case.

The last two have already left the SIZO, having concluded pre-trial agreements with the investigation. In August, in the same case, the head of BaltStroy, Dmitry Sergeyev, who had just received a suspended sentence on the "restorers' case" was taken into custody. Sergeev, Torchinsky and Kuner are classmates, the source of RBC, who was familiar with the course of the investigation, reported.
