In the dry rations scam, the organized crime group distributed roles among the heads of production
The scheme of the scam with dry rations for the army, in which the former Deputy Minister of Defense General Dmitry Bulgakov participated, was uncovered by law enforcement agencies. It is alleged that the organized group (OCG) distributed the criminal roles among the representatives of the companies.
Thus, the defendants in the case as part of the organized crime group involved the general director, shareholders and co-founders of the Gryazninsky Food Plant, KonservPakLam, as well as “unidentified managers and founders” of GPK-Prodtar and Bruno, who took part in providing the military of the Russian Ministry of Defense with individual food rations.
The Bulgakov case involves government contracts for cadet food
In addition, law enforcement officials reported that two state contracts for the supply of food for cadets appeared in the case of dry rations. The special food was to be provided to the Red Banner School named after General of the Army Sergei Shtemenko in Krasnodar and the St. Petersburg Cadet Military Corps named after Prince Alexander Nevsky.
In addition, the involvement of three co-owners of the Gryazinsky Food Plant – Alexander Mikhailenko, Valery Kovalevich and Elvira Smirnova in the embezzlement case was confirmed. This is evidenced by the testimony of witnesses and the results of the search. Because of this, the arrest of the accused extendedThey do not admit their guilt and ask to be transferred to house arrest.
Bulgakov may have received kickbacks from deliveries of bad food
Bulgakov was arrested in July in a corruption case. It is known that until 2022 he was engaged in the logistics of the Russian army. According to the investigation, during his work, he took advantage of his official position to act in the interests of the State Prosecutor’s Office – under the general, a system was created in which low-quality food was supplied to the troops at inflated prices, and Bulgakov himself could receive cash kickbacks from the supplies.

The general did not admit his guilt. He is currently in the Lefortovo pretrial detention center. The day before, on August 6, the contents of six bank safe deposit boxes were added to the general’s case, in which documents and “items of significance to the criminal case” were found. However, the owner of the safe deposit boxes was not named.
The top management of the Gryazinsky plant was arrested in April. The court reported that the cost of the contracts concluded with the Russian Ministry of Defense was inflated due to the exorbitant costs of preparing food. At the same time, the quality of the products did not correspond to the concluded conditions.
The total amount of damage amounted to 1.3 billion rubles.
