Former Rosaviatsia Chief Charged With Fraud, Reports Say
Investigators say the former Rosaviatsia chief faces large-scale fraud charges as they seek two months of pre-trial detention, court documents showed.
- On Friday, Russian law enforcement authorities pressed fraud charges against Alexander Neradko, the former head of the Federal Air Transport Agency , and asked Moscow's Khoroshevsky District Court to remand him in custody for two months.
- Neradko led Rosaviatsiya from 2009 until Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin removed him in September 2023, concluding his tenure during a period of intense law enforcement scrutiny of senior officials.
- Deputy Sergei Timoshenko was charged with bribery this spring and allegedly accepted 2.3 million rubles in bribes tied to construction work at Domodedovo International Airport.
- In May 2022, the government reprimanded Neradko for the "systematic failure by the head of Rosaviatsiya" to carry out instructions from Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
- Since leaving Rosaviatsiya, Neradko had been serving as an adviser to the CEO of the State Transport Leasing Company, though reports did not detail the specific allegations behind the current fraud charges.
