it doesn’t go with her shoes. The head of Rosreestr gave no instructions to purchase a BMW for 5.7 million rubles
"At present, the order placement has been halted. An internal investigation is being conducted into the posting of the order on the state procurement website," Rosreestr said in a statement. MOSCOW, May 27 — Prime. The purchase of an official vehicle for the needs of Rosreestr’s central office is not included in the 2013 state procurement schedule, and the head of the agency, Natalya Antipina, gave no instructions to acquire a BMW 750Li xDrive executive-class car, Rosreestr said in a statement. On Friday, a listing appeared on the state procurement portal stating that the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr) was seeking a supplier for a luxury car of that brand or its equivalent worth nearly 5.7 million rubles. "At present, the order placement has been halted. An internal investigation is being conducted into the posting of the order on the state procurement website," the statement notes. According to the technical specifications, the engine output had to be at least 450 horsepower, and the car was to include a leather steering wheel with wood trim, a rear-view camera, a TV screen in the front dashboard, heated seats, electrically adjustable lumbar support, rear seats with a massage function, and a number of other options. http://ria.ru/incidents/20130527/939637368.html This is wonderful. She gave no instructions. Apparently, the 5.7 million-ruble car was being bought for someone else, not for the head of the agency. Or perhaps grateful employees simply wanted to surprise their boss without warning — Natalya Antipina walks out of the Rosreestr building, tired and worn out, and there by the entrance is a brand-new black BMW 7 Series. Surprise! We will definitely request the results of the "internal investigation" mentioned by Rosreestr. Many thanks to everyone who yesterday helped spread the post about Natashka’s BMW and thereby helped save a couple of million state rubles. However, the main thing we can do to make sure such cars are not purchased at all, and so that RosPil does not have to turn the internet into a wall of shame for individual officials, is to secure the adoption of a law banning this in principle. For RosPil’s draft law on this issue to be put to a vote in the State Duma (the lower house of Russia’s parliament), 100,000 signatures must be collected.
