The operator ands concessioner of the system - RTITS - received the contract without competition by government’s decision. RTITS should receive 10,63 billion rubles from the state annually - this is about half of the budget income from “Plato” in 2016.
In January Navalny and lawyer of the Anti-Corruption Foundation Zhdanov requested to declare the cobcession agreement with RTITS void:L it was concluded without a competition, and the payments to RTITS are against the law on concession agreements.
In February Navalny and Zhdanov asked to submit the text of the agreement to the court. The court agreed and ordered RTITS to submit the document before March 2. However, RTITS and Rosavtodor still have not done it. Justice Vadim Valiev did not insist on it, referring to the fact the representative of RTITS brough a copy of the text and was ready to answer the questions.
