Among them is Rothenberg Igor Arkadevich. The biography of him and his father is another proof of this. The most notorious scandal in the life of the Rothenbergs in recent years has been the discovery of the "Plato" system.

"Plato" - a new problem for truckers

If you go to the main page of the site of the "Platon" system, you can see that the inscription "system of charging" flaunts right under the emblem. With whom and on what terms? The "Platon" system was created to collect fees from trucks weighing more than twelve tons, which in the country without transit accounts for about 2 million.

In the autumn of 2015, truckers began to actively demand the abolition of "Plato". The roads were blocked, including at the entrance to the capital. The main reasons for this development were not so much the introduction of a charging system, but two facts:

1. The tariff was too high, according to many drivers.
2. In violation of the current legislation, the operator of the system was appointed Igor Rotenberg. At the same time, judging by the newly discovered circumstances and documents, a contest was not held.

Rotenbergs were criticized. The conflict temporarily halted after Vladimir Putin's statement at the annual press conference that the tariff should be reduced. Until December 31, 2018, the ratio will remain at around 0.82. Nevertheless, the protesters said that their actions will continue.

Igor Rotenberg did not comment on the situation at all, and the presidential press secretary denied that the friendship between the head of state and the businessman's father helped his company conclude such a profitable contract.
