KBKhA

Russian media report several embezzlement stories. A top manager at the Khrunichev Center's Voronezh rocket engine plant (KBKhA) has been charged with abuse of office over state contract allocations with damages estimated at 5 billion rubles. Separately, suspects in a 77-million-ruble fraud case in Bashkortostan have been extradited from the UAE. Commenters see the cases as evidence of ongoing corruption in state procurement.
