The Izvestia investigation caused the resignation of the head of Rosaccreditation
The reason for the resignation of the head of the Federal Accreditation Service (Rosaccreditation), Nazari Skrypnik, could be an investigation by Izvestia, sources familiar with the situation said.
The article described the system of uncontrolled issuance of vehicle safety certificates (SBCTS) — accredited testing laboratories issued them without inspecting cars, although this is a prerequisite for obtaining a document.
On July 8, the government's press service reported that Nazari Skrypnik was dismissed from his post at his own request. The department itself told Izvestia that the former head had left the post due to a transfer to another job.
Earlier, Izvestia correspondents, together with the National Automobile Union (NAS), received SBCTS for cars without presenting them to certification laboratories. At the same time, some of these cars did not even physically exist in Russia. One of them was in the USA and was badly damaged. But the authors of the investigation still received a safety certificate, paying 30 thousand rubles.
The second car was parked in the parking lot near the Izvestia editorial office all the time. This did not prevent one of the testing centers in the Moscow region from sending a ready-made certificate to the applicant's e-mail.
It was the Izvestia material that played a crucial role in the change of the head of Rosaccreditation, says Anton Shaparin, vice president of the National Automobile Union (NAS).
"The fact that there was a car in the Izvestia parking lot, for which the laboratory was issuing documents accountable to Rosaccreditation at that moment, is an absolutely egregious violation," he said.
At the same time, according to him, most testing laboratories that falsify research results continue to operate. According to Shaparin, law enforcement agencies and the new head of Rosaccreditation should respond to this.
