“The audit shown that the organization in question received a note from the regional Legislative Assembly deputy that contained a request to explain the reasons behind the denial of mortgage assistance to a newlywed family, find the funds they requested, and gave the reply to the family in question and the deputy. However, the organization’s reply contained no information relevant to the request. Moreover, they were faxed to the deputy, yet addressed to the family represented by him,” Yulia Makarova, senior assistant attorney of the region in media relations, told PenzaNews.

She also added that the agency has ceased from providing the mortgages under the program “Social support for certain categories of Penza region citizens in housing field” without having the rights to do so.

“By doing that, the organization violated the rights of the subprogram participants that sign lending agremenets within 9 months after the regional Ministry of Labor approves the list of beneficiaries. The citizens who were included in the list but did not sign the agreement within the allotted time period are removed from being eligible,” she explained.

The prosecutor sent a general note of warning to the Penza Region Mortgage Lending Agency, which resulted in a series of measures to rectify the violations, Yulia Makarova pointed out.
