They embezzled 230 thousand rubles over five years.

At one of the republican unitary enterprises (RUE) for five years employees were forced to pay back the extra payments accrued to them. This scheme was organized by former managers and chief accountant, reported the Interior Ministry.

Two former general directors of 44 and 49 years old in collusion with a 47-year-old chief accountant for five years unreasonably transferred the organization's money to subordinates. The payments were made under fictitious contractual agreements and for "virtual" business trips, as well as bonuses and other additional payments.

The fraud was uncovered by economic crime fighters from Zheleznodorozhny District Department of Internal Affairs of Homel and the regional Department of Internal Affairs.

"The defendants took money from employees and spent it on their own needs. The amount of damage exceeded 230 thousand rubles," reported in the Interior Ministry.

A criminal case was opened for theft by abuse of power (part 4 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code). The accomplices face up to 12 years in prison.
