Former deputy of the Neklinovsky district assembly of the Rostov region, Vitaly Latyshev, expressed disagreement with the accusations of embezzling funds allocated for feeding children in the camps.
“Someone, apparently, has the opinion that I am living beyond my means, probably, and that to a large extent due to the fact that I steal from children. But as the director of this institution explained to you, now I have nothing to do with the financial activities of enterprises. I am just a founder, “he stressed in an interview with Izvestia on December 10.
According to the ex-deputy, the allocated funds are spent on the creation of the material base of four working children’s camps.
“Today, of course, I am unhappy to hear this, because most of the money is invested. Something, of course, I bring to my family – what I earned from the activities of the camps. As a founder, I am entitled to dividends, ”said Latyshev.
At the same time, he pointed out that the enterprises that appear in the media are currently not working.
The former parliamentarian also spoke on the topic of a high-profile video, in which he discusses with a colleague possible ways to save money on children’s lunches in camps.
Latyshev explained that during this conversation he was asked to think about solving the problem of disposing of food that the children allegedly did not eat.
“My phrase was cut off. I said: “Write whatever you want, write cutlets at least ten times, and give the children dumplings, whatever, chops, so that the children are tasty and interesting,” said Latyshev.
The scandalous video with the former deputy appeared on the web earlier that day. The interlocutors considered the possibility of specifying in the reporting documents that wards from low-income families are fed cutlets, while the dish is present only on the menu. Together with his colleague Svetlana Ershova, Latyshev also discussed the issue of cashing the savings.
Searches were carried out on Friday in several children’s camps near Rostov. It was noted that the ex-deputy could have appropriated part of the money for the health improvement of children from low-income families. Since 2015, Latyshev’s organizations have received 1 billion rubles from the budget. Previously, 30% of the funds could have been stolen.
On the eve of the head of the Main Directorate of Economic Security and Combating Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Police Lieutenant General Andrei Kurnosenko, said that in Russia there is an increase in the risk of embezzlement of budget funds in a pandemic. According to him, the spheres of education and healthcare are most susceptible to corruption.
