[ad_1]

On February 5, Frunzensky District Judge, Yulia Bliznyuk, read the acquittal. The court ruled that the chief engineer of the Minsk Wheeled Tractor Factory, Andrei Golovach, was innocent of receiving a particularly large bribe. He was to be released in the courtroom. Happy parents have already come down waiting for a meeting. But that did not happen. Only the lawyers came and said: Andrei Albertovich was arrested again.

We meet the wife of Chief Engineer Tatiana Mikhailovna near Volodarka. Already 38 months, she comes here every Friday to give a transfer to her husband and meet a lawyer.

– None of those who carried the programs with me at the very beginning is already there, she explains. – There are very few people in the remand center, my husband is old here.

Tatiana Mikhailovna refuses to be photographed. He says that he deliberately avoids even amateur filming after the operation to remove the tumor.

"The first meeting I had when he went to the prosecutor's office, after 19 months of isolation"

Andrei Golovach arrived at the factory in 1984 these days when the production of special wheel tractors belonged to MAZ, and he was a 24-year-old graduate of the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute. When, at the beginning of the 1990s, the production of wheeled tractors was entrusted to a separate company, he installed himself there. He became chief engineer at 44, in 2006.

By Decree No. 70, in 2007, MZKT was in the process of technical re-equipment. The state has provided badistance to the company for 800,000 rubles denominated, and also issued a loan of 25 million dollars for the refinancing rate, but not more than 10% per annum. The technical re-equipment has gone, the factory has increased its capabilities and indicators.

As the rulers later acknowledged, the money invested was calculated and the company became one of the most prosperous of the country 's industry. Andrei Golovach actively participated in the development of the rocket launcher "Polonez". For the development of wheel chbadis and fourth-generation tractors, the chief engineer and the company's staff even received a national award in 2013.

On May 5, 2015, employees of the General Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption. They asked me to go home and go to the Kopyl District Hospital to see my mother hospitalized – remembers Tatyana Mikhailovna.

He dropped me off near the house and he went to put the car in the garage. located They also waited.

The head of the studies office and the briber, Real's director, Valery Zhigalo, was also arrested. According to the survey, Andrei Golovach, along with two other extras (was also the deputy head of management stamps tooling, who was not detained) received bribes "for deliveries to the cutting plant and an auxiliary tool". The fact is that Andreï Golovach was the chairman of the procurement commission. According to law enforcement, he lobbied for the interests of the company "Real", who worked with the factory for many years. He stated that he had not entered into a direct contract with the manufacturer, but that he had facilitated the choice of mediator.

The investigation revealed that he had established more than 80 episodes of bribes, of which 34 attributed to the chief engineer.

For Tatyana Mikhailovna and her two daughters, what was happening was a real shock. They did not believe in the guilt of Andrei Albertovich.

– After the incident, I had such a state of sorrow that if I had buried a man. Life has just collapsed, – remembers Tatiana Mikhailovna. – The first year and a half, I cried all the time. At home, on the road, at work, on an album with a photo, hidden in a shirt …

The investigation of the case lasted a year and seven months, all this time Andrei Golovach was in prison. Tatiana Mikhailovna could not see it: they did not give dates

– I do not even remember the number of nominations for a date that I wrote. They even said, "I do not deserve it, for what kind of spice bread?" she said. – The first meeting I received when the case went to the prosecutor's office, after 19 months of his isolation.

"All charge was based on the testimony of only one witness – the briber"

The first hearings of the Frunzensky district court in Minsk took place last March. Andrei Golovach has been accused of taking a bribe in a particularly large amount. This is Part 3 of Section 430 of the Penal Code. His colleague, the head of the office of studies – on the 2nd part. In addition, the Deputy Head of the Management of Instruments and Stamps was also tried – in Part 1. I was threatened with a term of imprisonment of up to 15 years. years

The court of first instance considered the case very quickly, within 15 days, and said Andrei Albertovich guilty. The chief engineer received 8 years of intensive penitentiary colony with confiscation of property and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for 5 years.

The head of the bureau of studies, on the other hand, pleaded guilty and received four years from a prison colony, and the deputy head of the store – 3 years of restriction of liberty without referral to correctional facility

– Of course, I was shocked. According to Tatyana Mikhailovna, [traduction]

According to the woman, data on family-owned property were provided to the court and to taxation. For the chief engineer, there is an apartment, which he received in the Soviet times, his wife was decorated in a garden in a garden partnership – this is a simple wooden house, no cottage. In addition, the family owns a garage and a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. And during the search, the apartment of Andrei Golovach was seized with a small amount of savings, that he could to afford with the salary of the senior manager of the factory. At the income of chief engineer MZKT, the tax authorities had no questions

– It turned out that the survey materials were conducted for a year and a half . So, if he is guilty, why not take it in red? she said. – The position of the prosecution was based solely on the testimony of a person, initially held for offering a bribe, – Real Madrid director Valery Zhigalo. Here, it is important to pay attention to this: Zhigalo, who was detained with everyone, was released from the remand center as soon as he began cooperating with the investigation.

During his investigation, his testimony changed a lot. At first he declared that he was giving bribes only to the head of the studies office, and to Andrey Golovach only memories in the form of alcoholic beverages and only holidays.

Then he claimed to have bribed the chief engineer. At trial, he was confused and could not remember sums, dates. He said that the calculation of bribes rested on a formula, but could not name him, and then he said that there was a certain percentage.

It was later discovered that the amount of bribes was calculated. In other words, the owner of the company "Real" Sukhotsky, of which Valery Zhigalo took the money, first said that he knew nothing of the money for the "money". chief engineer MZKT. and that they were paid for the supplies to the factory in principle. "None of the 86 witnesses interviewed confirmed that Golovach lobbied for the interests of anyone or took bribes"

The Chief Engineer's Decision and lawyers have been appealed in the city. court. The case was sent for a new trial at the same court in the Frunzensky district. This time, the trial was conducted by Judge Yulia Bliznyuk. The interrogation lasted 55 days

– 86 people were interviewed – all the same witnesses who testified at the first trial. And then, and now none of them, whether it is an employee of a company, a board member or someone else, did not say that Golovach influenced or gave direction on the choice of one or the other supplier. or taken bribes, – says Tatyana Mikhailovna. – Former general manager of MZKT Gennady Sinegovsky and at the first court session, and now he said: the company has created the most transparent system for the selection of suppliers. Andrey 's voice as chairman of this commission was decisive only in the event of a tie vote. But this has never happened in the history of the existence of the commission. He never changed his decision

There were also two arguments in the position of the prosecution. The first is the presence of telephone conversations between Valery Zhigalo and Andrei Golovach, allegedly on the receipt of money. But the position of the defense in this case was unequivocal: it is possible to suspect such conversations in bribes of almost all heads of large corporations

– It is important to understand here: Zhigal worked at MZKT, her husband knows, even knows the Minister of Industry Vitaly Vovk, – says Tatyana Mikhailovna. – Yes, they saw each other, called, met, but her husband and Zhigalo had only business relations. I myself heard the audio recordings of these calls in person

For example, Zhigalo was interested in her husband when the factory transferred the money, since They granted us a reprieve. He said: they say, you podsute there, you have to pay back. The husband promised to know what and how, called the financial department and asked how he was with the payment to "Real". Explained that there is a debt and the need to pay. The chief financial officer replied: they say, well, I'll look at it in working order. At trial, she was questioned, and she confirmed: the chief engineer never asked to pay money first to "Real", all right? has always been in working order. Such interviews are conducted by the chief engineers of many companies, but that does not speak of a corrupt system.

The prosecution began to interpret these appeals as follows: "I acted with extreme caution and I did not tolerate attitude towards the EU" Real " and so created a false impression among others. "

" It is unfortunate that the investigation did not send Zhigalo with labeled money or some sort of equipment "

The prosecution at trial was the absence of a direct contract between MZKT and the Swedish manufacturer Sandvik, the largest equipment company in the world.The prosecutors pointed out that in 2008-2011 such direct supplies were At the trial, representatives of the factory and Andrei Golovach himself explained: there was no direct contract, because the manufacturer offered less favorable terms, required a down payment, while the l & # 39; 39, intermediate, especially Real, granted a period of 60 days

As a rule, the manufacturer has made discounts for its dealers, and they could buy products at the best price.In general, everything is simple and in the law, – explains Tatyana Mikhailovna – And in general, my husband, well Sure, wanted to enter into a direct contract on more favorable terms, in what was before and asked Zhigalo to help, because they had connections with Sandvik. At the trial, the director of Real Madrid did not deny that such proposals were. But Zhigalo was afraid of this, which is confirmed by telephone conversations between the head of the studies office and the director of Real.

They discussed fears that a Sandvik representative would come to Minsk and that he would go to the MZKT. And if that happens, Golovach will immediately ask for a direct contract with good conditions. They say it will be irreparable, it can not be tolerated.

By the way, in the factory representatives court said that MZKT and now do not work directly with Sandvik. The instrument is provided by the Bulgarian merchant

– You know, Valery Zhigalo's behavior was very strange. His interrogation took 9 days, and the situation did not clear up. It was strange to see an investigator in the courtroom who was writing something to himself – what was he doing there? asks Tatiana Mikhailovna. – Then suddenly before the New Year, the Zhigalo disappeared, apparently left for family affairs. Industry Minister Vitaly Vovk, judging by his testimony, believes that the director of "Real" slandered Andrei to avoid criminal liability himself

– Zhigalo can not be considered an impartial witness, just for your birthday. – The mere fact of laying charges against me was the reason he had been released from criminal liability for the proven facts of bribing factory employees, and possibly others. violations of the law. He is an interested person in this case and can not be an impartial witness. I want to give just one example.

This is the testimony of the deputy director of "Real". He was asked the question: "Did you know that the money was transferred to the management of MZKT to solve some problems?" He said, "Why? It made no sense to give this money, because everything was open and transparent at the factory. "It is significant that the second person in the Real spoke of this fact

– I have already said: it is a pity that the investigation does not send me Zhigalo with marked money or any equipment.If I sent it away, we would not be sitting here and I did not understand it would be a 100% alibi.But this, unfortunately , did not arrive, – said Andrei Albertovich – I would like to quote the words of the Head of State that he pronounced on June 3, 2011 at the time. A meeting on the activities of the courts Alexander Grigorievich noted: "The quality of justice should be significantly improved and the principles of the presumption of innocence should be strictly respected. Regarding the work of the judges in the matter, the head of state said: "Stop being afraid to give a reasoned badessment of the violations and defaults committed during the investigation, for this reason. you have the authority. The judge should not cover court decisions with errors of law enforcement agencies. "Your Honor, I am grateful to the court for doing so much to establish the truth, and many of the contradictions in the testimony, especially Zhigalo, will probably not be eliminated yet, but all my hopes are there. related to the faith that you will make the right decision and that my torment will be finished.At today, I am 56 years old, there are still strengths and knowledge that I would like to use for the benefit of society and from my family.

"My husband has already been questioned about this" new "episode of 2016"

February of this year, Andrei Golovach was acquitted and ordered to be released in the The verdict, by the way, has already entered into force, since the prosecutor's appeal was later dismissed by the court, but it can still be appealed in the order of surveillance.

– You can not imagine how much we were h But I was very worried that at the announcement there was again a GUBOPIK employee and an investigator who was conducting the case, – remembers Tatyana Mikhailovna. – We went downstairs and waited for her husband on the first floor. But the escorts did not take Andrei, the lawyers went out and said that he was again detained by the GUBOP employees, the very ones who were detained for the first time. if tired, so again, then I can not. "And here again everything is finished: arrest, Volodarka

As we have already written, according to the Investigation Committee, Andrei Golovach is suspected of another episode: he has received a $ 70 bribe from 2012 to 2015 thousand for what "provided the opportunity for a foreign company to provide expensive equipment worth more than $ 20 million". once, the criminal case is also brought under Part 3 of Article 430 ("Taking a bribe in a particularly large amount").

– The most paradoxical thing you know? My husband has already been questioned about this "new" episode in 2016 as a witness, – Tatiana Mihailovna is surprised – What could change at the time he was in prison, why did not the investigative and operational activities take place simultaneously with the previous case? What are the norms of the law prescribed to keep in the remand center for 38 months now? A man to whom two ships were found not guilty? The prison is not a resort, and the three years spent there, of course, have affected his health

– Now that the investigation is underway, we have to new is doing research. They took all the phones, even the one my daughter gave me in the fall of 2017, even our correspondence with him, verified by the censorship in the pre-trial detention center. There were 679 letters from my husband and I do not know for sure how many of my letters and letters children. Nobody kept an inventory. Proof of what these letters can be? Если только доказательством того, что мой муж необоснованно удерживался 33 месяца в СИЗО, -. Недоумевает женщина

Сейчас коллектив МЗКТ обратился с письмом к президенту страны. Сотрудники просят просят просят обратить внимание на это дело и не держать Андрея Головача в СИЗО. Под письмом почти 900 подписей [19659035] – Мой муж заслуженно пользовался авторитетом среди работников, и спустя три года коллектив снова высказался [19659050] – Я задумалась.. Как прошли эти годы? Они пролетели, как пейзаж за окном поезда, в конечном, что все в конечном счете будет хорошо и наши мучения вот-вот закончатся. От пятницы до пятницы, три письма в неделю, – говорит Татьяна Михайловна. – Андрей пишет мне пять коротких писем в неделю, чтобы я не волновалась, что все выдержит и вернется. Говорит, все в камере удивляются его стойкости. Я благодарна всем своим знакомым, сотрудникам и коллективу завода за понимание и поддержку. Не хочу жаловаться. Держусь на силе духа и с божьей помощью.
