“I consider it unworthy for the rector, professor of sciences, honored worker of physical culture to answer the questions of a crook,” explained Gretz.
However, after a while, Greetz himself was detained for embezzlement, having discovered an operating cryptocurrency mining farm on the territory of the university he controls. According to preliminary data, the damage to the educational institution, to the power grids of which the mining farm was connected, exceeded 5 million rubles.
Gretz is accused of massive embezzlement of funds. According to the investigation, since June 2020, together with an accomplice, he appropriated and squandered over 1.5 million rubles. According to the UK, it was at the direction of Grets that the university employees were unreasonably paid bonuses in the total amount of 150 thousand rubles for the installation of water treatment systems located in the country house of the arrested person.
The court placed Greetz in custody in December 2021.
