TGC-14's board member, Viktor Myasnik, will continue to be detained until October 28th.
In a significant development, the Central District Court of Chita has extended the arrest of Konstantin Lyulchev, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of TGC-14, a prominent Russian power company. The extension comes in connection with charges related to TGC-14, as Lyulchev is accused of involvement in a large-scale fraud scheme concerning the embezzlement of funds from the company.
According to the investigation, it is alleged that Lyulchev played a role in misappropriating several hundred million rubles, which were intended for the company’s operational and investment activities. The details of the case suggest that the investigators require more time to collect evidence and build the case against him, as the exact length of the extension has not been publicly disclosed.
Meanwhile, Viktor Miasnik, the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of TGC-14, remains in custody until October 28. The investigation claims that, if released, Miasnik may destroy evidence of his activities and potentially continue criminal actions. These connections, if released, Miasnik could potentially use to pressure the course of the investigation.
However, Miasnik has stated that he owns only 22% of the company's shares and cannot influence TGC-14's work. He also added that he is only a member of the board of directors, and the board does not influence the company's work.
Miasnik was detained in May this year due to suspicions of manipulating tariffs. No new evidence of Miasnik's guilt was mentioned in the current paragraph, and no new allegations about Miasnik's potential actions if released were made.
The investigation further suggests that, if released, Miasnik may influence witnesses or flee to Spain. Miasnik has property in Spain, but no new information about this property was mentioned in the current paragraph.
It is important to note that no new information about witnesses or the investigation's course was mentioned in the current paragraph. Miasnik's lawyers argued against the presence of journalists at the hearing, but no new information about Miasnik's connections or potential influence was disclosed.
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what further developments will unfold in this complex case involving high-ranking officials of a major Russian power company. For more specific updates, such as court dates or statements from legal representatives, these may be available through official Russian legal or news sources.
The extended arrest of Konstantin Lyulchev, the Chairman of TGC-14's Board, is centered around financial mismanagement in the power industry, as he allegedly embezzled funds for operational and investment activities. Meanwhile, the finance ministry and business circles are closely monitoring the complex case, as more details emerge about the embezzlement scandal involving high-ranking officials of TGC-14.
