The relatives of the arrested rector of “Shaninka” Sergei Zuev demand that civilian doctors be allowed to him

Relatives and friends of the arrested rector of “Shaninka” Sergei Zuev demand that civilian doctors be allowed to him in the pre-trial detention center. About it reported POC member Alexander Khurudzhi.

“Sergei Zuev still has health problems, he has high blood pressure, and in his case it is very dangerous,” Khuruji said.

According to him, Zuev’s relatives demand that civilian doctors be admitted to the medical unit to adjust the treatment. Zuev needs consultations from a cardiologist, vascular surgeon and an ultrasound specialist.

It became known the day before that the arrested rector would be transferred to the Matrosskaya Tishina hospital next week.

Sergei Zuev was detained in the Rakova case on October 12. He is suspected of embezzling 21 million rubles from the Fund for New Forms of Education Development. The rector was initially placed under house arrest, but on November 9, the Moscow City Court placed Zuev in a pre-trial detention center, despite the fact that over the past month he suffered several hypertensive crises. The measure of restraint was changed at the request of the prosecutor’s office.

Rakova, according to the investigation, as deputy head of the Ministry of Education received state funding for a project for the Fund for New Forms of Education Development, which she herself headed. In addition, she stole funds when concluding government contracts for the implementation of the Teacher of the Future project in 2019, investigators say. Shaninka was the contractor for the Teacher of the Future.

According to the findings of the investigative expertise, reports on ongoing scientific research have signs of falsification.

Zuev’s defense said that the case involved two contracts with an initial value of 50 million rubles. However, during the year they were not executed in full and were terminated by agreement of the parties. By that time, the performers had already received 21 million rubles.

As part of the criminal investigation, apart from Rakova and Zuev, former employees of the Foundation for New Forms of Education Development Yevgeny Zak and Maksim Inkin, Rakova’s common-law husband Artur Stetsenko, and Shaninka executive director Kristina Kryuchkova were arrested.
