The Russian police say that functionaries of the Russian State Register Office in Dagestan were involved in the fraud of Daggaz officials in Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Pyatigorsk, ITAR-TASS reports.
The functionaries registered 3.1 million running meters of non-existent gas pipelines in 2008 to make a contract on their lease. The fraud caused a loss of about 70 million rubles for lease of the non-existent pipelines. Daggaz's director has been detained.
