General Manager of Respect-SM Alik Aleksanyan has been detained for two months under the case of fraud at Eastern Space Station in Blagoveshchensk, TASS reported, citing its source. Aleksanyan is charged with fraud worth nearly 60,000,000 Russian rubles and committed during construction works.

As Kommersant reported earlier, the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia inn Amur Oblast launched two criminal cases at once, and both regarded fraud at the Eastern Space Station. In one case, thanks to the officials of an open joint-stock company, the contractor received 600,000,000 rubles for large-scale works at a complex for production and storage of missile fuel components, and in another case, the contractor stole another 60,000,000 rubles by presenting fake documents. At the time, it was mentioned that the investigation has yet to determine the procedural status of Alik Aleksanyan.
