Algerian MiG-29 fraud case closed

Russian procecutors have decided to drop charges against Sergei Tsivilev, former first deputy head of MiG, and his deputy, Oleg Fadeyev, for supplying low-quality equipment for MiG-29 fighters that were rejected by Algeria in 2007.

The case was closed as the statute of limitations period has expired. Investigators insist the pair deliberately signed contracts with firms that sold old and faulty aviation equipment to MiG.
