Prosecutors open criminal case over bonuses to Russian Post CEO

MOSCOW, Mar 15 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has opened a criminal case against Irina Lapteva, a department director at the communications ministry, for abusing her power while calculating a salary for Russian Post CEO Dmitry Strashnov, Svetlana Petrenko, acting head of the prosecutor office’s PR department, said on Wednesday.

In April 2015, Lapteva calculated a 95.4 million ruble bonus to Strashnov for 2014 instead 13.4 million rubles. As a result, Strashnov received an unjustified award of at least 46 million rubles for 2014–2015 and at least 82 million rubles in June 2015, the prosecutors said.

The prosecutor’s office said in November 2016 that it wants to initiate a criminal case against Strashnov and two heads of the communications ministry’s departments on an allegedly illegal payment of a 95.4 million ruble bonus.
