MOSCOW. April 18 (Interfax) - Military prosecutors have raised the question of opening a criminal case against Valentin Ponomaryov, general director of OOO Nevsky Yakor, who is suspected of supplying the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov with a fake Dutch-made anchor.
Ponomaryov bought a used anchor from a Dutch company for 27,000 Euros (1 million rubles), which is one quarter the amount he received from the Defense Ministry, in seeking to turn a profit. He later forged a certificate and put a false number on the anchor,: the Russian Prosecutor General's Office reported on its website on Wednesday.
