MOSCOW, August 1 (RAPSI, Lyudmila Klenko) – The Basmanny District Court has arrested the property of the former Management Board Chairman of Russia’s hydropower giant RusHydro Yevgeny Dod and his family in an embezzlement criminal case, RAPSI learned from the court’s press-service on Monday.

Earlier, the defendant’s lawyer has confirmed that Dod was ready to compensate 73.2 million rubles ($1.1 million) in damages.

Dod will stay in detention until August 22.

As it has already been reported, Dod pleaded not guilty to 73.2 million rubles ($1.2 million) embezzlement, but expressed his willingness to reimburse the company for damage.

Another defendant in the case, Chief Accountant of RusHydro Dmitry Finkel also pleaded not guilty.

According to investigators, Dod and Finkel have committed a large-scale fraud with regard to RusHydro.

The official spokesperson for the Investigative Committee Vladimir Markin has earlier said that after the company’s financial report had been approved, the defendants drafted an order “On special bonus payments to the RusHydro Management Board members in 2013,” which was signed by Dod. Under this order, Dod charged to himself a bonus amounted to 353.21 million rubles ($5.5 million) and thus illegally overrated the bonus by no less than 73.2 million rubles.
