Former head of Komi Vyacheslav Gaiser left the colony

Convicted for the creation of the criminal group, former Komi Governor Vyacheslav Gaiser was released after serving his sentence. This is reported by TASS with reference to law enforcement agencies.

Gaiser left IK-6 of the Tver region after the expiration of his sentence. Officially, the term of serving the sentence ended on September 18, 2026. The exact date of his release from the colony is not specified.

In June 2019, the Zamoskvoretsky court of Moscow sentenced Vyacheslav Gaiser to 11 years in a strict regime colony and a fine of 160 million rubles for corruption crimes, fraud and legalization of property obtained by criminal means.

At the same time, on charges of creating a criminal community, Gaiser and other defendants in the case, including his deputy Alexei Chernov, were acquitted.
