In a recent ruling, the Zhigansky District court convicted the director of the municipal budgetary institution "Eyge" for abusing her official position and committing official forgery. The defendant, whose name remains undisclosed in the provided information, was found guilty under Part 3 of Art. 160 and Part 2 of Art. 292 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The investigation, conducted by the Arctic MSO of the SU of the SK of Russia for Yakutia, revealed that the defendant falsely employed her husband as a costume designer and later as a worker at "Eyge". During the aforementioned period, from October 2021 to November 2023, her husband received a salary and bonus payments, totaling approximately 600,000 rubles. However, it was discovered that he was actually working at another institution.

The criminal case against the defendant was initiated by the Yakutia Prosecutor's Office, with the Prosecutor's Office of the Zhigansky District supporting the state's case against the local resident. The sentence was handed down based on the state prosecutor's opinion, the defendant's confession, and the full compensation of the damage.

The defendant was sentenced to one year and seven months of imprisonment, suspended for a period of one year. The verdict is not yet in force. The sentence was handed down in the Zhigansky settlement.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and honesty in public office. The public trust placed in those who hold such positions is a sacred responsibility, and any abuse of that trust will be met with the full force of the law.
