The case of bribery of the former Deputy Chairman of the Kursk court will be considered in Orel

The first court of cassation satisfied the petition of the former Deputy Chairman of the Leninsky district court of Kursk Olga Petrova to change jurisdiction for consideration of her criminal case on bribery. As told “Kommersant” in the press service of the court, the materials will be sent to the Orel regional court.

Ms. Petrova is accused of receiving a bribe in an especially large amount (part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, up to 15 years in prison). The criminal case against her was initiated by the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin in April. According to investigators, in the spring of last year at that time, the deputy chairman of the Leninsky District Court could receive 3 million rubles for the appointment of a woman accused of attempted fraud with a punishment not related to imprisonment. Mrs. Petrova does not admit guilt.

Together with the former deputy chairman of the Leninsky District Court of Kursk, Roman Bugai, Dmitry Tokarev and Olga Minakova, who previously was the deputy head of the capital repair fund, will be in the dock. They are charged with mediation when giving a bribe (Part 4 of Art. 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, up to 12 years of imprisonment).
