He is accused of committing crimes under Art. 159 Part 4 (fraud, i.e. acquisition of the right to other people's property by false pretences in especially big amount by an organized group), Art. 174.1 Part 4 (legalization (laundering) of property acquired by a person as the result of an offence committed by him/her in especially big amount by an organized group), Article 159 Part 4 (fraud, i.e. acquisition of the right to other people's property by false pretences in especially big amount by an organized group) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The criminal proceedings against Kochergin are conducted by the Investigative Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Central Federal District.
The investigation found that in 2006 Kochergin registered fraudulently in association with others the ownership of 16 land plots with total area of 22,500 square meters in Naro-Fominsky District of the Moscow Region at the cost of more than RUR 8.5 million.
