On October 14, the Khamovnichesky Court continued to hear the case of possible bribery (by an official on an especially large scale - Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, up to 15 years in prison) by former Deputy Head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maxim Parshin from the former head of Budget and Financial Technologies (BFT) LLC, Alexander Monosov (Part 5 of Article 291 of the Criminal Code - bribery, up to 15 years in prison).

Director General of the Russian armenia whatsapp number databa se Foundation for the Development of Information Technologies (RFRIT) Alexander Pavlov. Alexander Pavlov recalled how the procedure for selecting and reviewing grant applications takes place at the first and second stages: "The first part of the selection takes place on an application basis. In 2022, companies submitted 1,269 applications from the start of the selection until its end. Then, according to the competition documentation, their review begins: formal and expert. I cannot remember the dates of the stages, but all the competition documentation is published on the fund's website, and there you can specifically reconstruct the entire chronology by dates."
After Alexander Pavlov's response, the defense requested that the witness examine the physical evidence in the form of a flash memory card, which had not yet been examined in the courtroom. "This flash card contains information that the RFRIT foundation itself provided in detail regarding the questions that had previously been asked by the defense, namely everything related to the applications: both the quantity and the ranking are indicated there. These circumstances are very important for the interrogation of this witness," noted Alexander Monosov's lawyer Denis Saushkin.
The state prosecution objected, citing Article 274 of the Criminal Procedure Code (procedure for examining evidence): "I draw the court's attention to the fact that in volume 5, page 213 of the case, according to the inventory of the materials of the criminal case, there is a resolution on the recognition of objects as material evidence dated March 22, 2024. The legislator has determined the procedure for the presentation and examination of evidence at a court hearing in accordance with Part Two of this article: the prosecution presents evidence first, then, in order, the defense. I believe that the defense has the right to ask the witness all the questions of interest without providing documents on the case, and the defense can present to the court those circumstances that are on one or another medium at its stage of proving the case."
Khamovnichesky Court Judge Olga Zhelyazkova dismissed the defense's motion.
