However, according to the defense of the actions of Nicholas Prize no signs of a crime: there is no statements of victims, there was no damage done to the budget, there is no corrupt intent.

Therefore, the protection does not see the crimes that the contracts were distributed in this way. We have the data on the pressure on those involved as witnesses, some of them attempted to induce false testimony about the alleged distribution of contracts for bribes. But as far as we know, in the case of such testimony is not "- he said.
