Court receives case of alleged school director's financial misconduct

In the Tigilsky District of Kamchatka Krai, a 39-year-old woman is under investigation for alleged fraud in the hiring process of a local school. The woman, who was the director of the educational institution, hired her husband for multiple positions within the school, including repair worker, plumber, and watchman.

However, it was found that the man did not actually perform these duties, as he was employed by another organization. This practice is suspected to have caused significant material damage to the institution, leading to inflated payroll costs or fraudulent salary payments that did not correspond to actual work done.

The financial harm caused by these actions is described as substantial, indicating a serious case of misuse of school funds. The Prosecutor's Office of the Koryak Okrug has approved the indictment against the woman, and she now faces charges of fraud under Part 3 of Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The investigation into the case has been completed, and the prosecutor sent the criminal case to the Tigilsky District Court for further consideration. A civil lawsuit has been filed by the representative of the injured party to recover the nearly one million rubles in material damage caused by the woman's actions.

This fraud case has raised concerns about the misuse of authority and influence in educational institutions. Authorities in Kamchatka Krai are taking the matter seriously and are committed to ensuring that such incidents are thoroughly investigated and prosecuted to maintain the integrity of the educational system.

As the investigation progresses, we will keep you updated on any new developments in this case.
