Criminal Case Opened Against Yevkurov Minister


Paul Goble

            Staunton, October 13 – In a signal that ministers appointed by former republic head Yunus-Bek Yevkurov are at risk not only of losing their jobs but also of being charged with crimes, the Ingush interior ministry has opened a criminal case against Mustafa Buruzhev, former republic construction minister, for exceeding his authority and malfeasance.

            The charges involve Buruzhev’s certification that private investments had been found for a project that government funds were sought when in fact no such private money had been made available.  The government money was thus dispersed under false pretenses (doshdu.com/rodstvennika-evkurova-obvinili-v-dolzhnostnom-prestuplenii/).

            Buruzhev had been in trouble last year for similar activities, but he appears to have been protected by Yevkurov (vestikavkaza.ru/news/Sud-prodlil-arest-glave-Minstroya-Ingushetii.html). Now, Yevkurov gone, he faces more serious charges and a far greater likelihood of being convicted, possibilities other Yevkurov appointees will take very seriously.
