The former first deputy minister of housing and communal services Smirnov, who was under investigation in Yekaterinburg, has died.
In the Sverdlovsk region, former Deputy Minister of Energy and Housing and Utilities Igor Chikrizov, who was under investigation, passed away before the verdict was announced. This was reported by the portal 66.RU.
According to one of the sources of 66.RU, the cause of death could have been pneumonia. Chikrizov died in the hospital.
The former official was 62 years old. The farewell will take place today in Yekaterinburg.
The deceased held the position of First Deputy Minister Nikolai Smirnov, who had previously been sentenced.
According to the prosecution, Chikrizov, together with former Deputy Minister Andrei Kislytsin and Smirnov himself, received a bribe from entrepreneurs for protection in obtaining municipal contracts for conducting work. The criminal case was investigated under part 6 of article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Specifically, Chikrizov was charged with receiving a bribe of one million rubles.
As reported in March by "Kommersant-Ural," the bribes were handed over to Igor Chikrizov in a car near the building of the Sverdlovsk regional government. The official passed part of the money to Andrei Kislytsin, who then gave a share to the regional Minister of Energy and Housing and Utilities Nikolai Smirnov.
The verdict in another criminal case against former Deputy Minister of Energy and Housing and Utilities of the Sverdlovsk region Andrei Kislytsin was delivered in March by the Verkh-Isetsky District Court of Yekaterinburg.
For receiving a bribe in a particularly large amount (over 1.9 million rubles), Kislytsin was sentenced to 11 years in a strict regime colony with a fine of 8 million rubles.
The intermediary in the bribery, Kislytsin's acquaintance Pavel Myakyshev, was sentenced to 9 years in a colony, the unified press service of the Sverdlovsk region courts reported.
It was established that half of the 4 million rubles received from the representative of the manufacturer of lighting equipment was kept by the former deputy of the regional Legislative Assembly Myakyshev for his intermediary services, according to RIA Novosti.
Kislytsin's responsibilities as Deputy Minister of Energy and Housing and Utilities of the Sverdlovsk region included assisting in the development and implementation of measures to improve energy efficiency in the settlements of the region.
