An internal audit by the KAMAZ security service revealed a large-scale fraudulent scheme involving two executives of the company's Trade and Finance Company. This was reported by the "Typical AvtoVAZ" public page, citing insiders.
The scheme involved the illegal resale of truck chassis through front men, such as relatives and acquaintances. Trucks intended for government orders were actually sold to private individuals.
From the spring of 2021 to March 2022, following a special order from the management of the Remdiesel auto plant, the company received trucks at a 9% discount in order to transfer them to special equipment manufacturers at an 8% discount. At the same time, 1% of the transaction amount remained with the firm. Trucks with ready-made superstructures were supposed to be sent to government customers, but in practice they were resold to private individuals.
As a result, 1,500 vehicles were sold, causing damage to the company and the state estimated at hundreds of millions of rubles.
The fraud became known in the fall of 2022, when the security unit conducted an audit. The exact amount of damage has not yet been established, but it is assumed that we are talking about significant amounts.
