The Krasnodar Regional Court confirmed the legality of the sentence to two heads of commercial organizations, who were found guilty of bribery to an official of Rostransnadzor. The decision of the Lazarevsky District Court of Sochi came into force.

As the court established, from March 2024 to March 2025, Vartan Zakaryan and Grant Grigoryan transferred funds to an employee of MTU Rostransnadzor in the Southern Federal District. The money was intended for the ability to transport heavy goods through the point of weight and size control without the required inspections, as well as for failure to bring to administrative responsibility.

In total, according to the materials of the case, 675 thousand rubles were transferred. The illegal scheme was identified and stopped by employees of the FSB of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory.

Zakaryan received 7 years 6 months in a strict regime colony. Grigoryan, who fully pleaded guilty and facilitated the investigation, was sentenced to five years in a maximum-security colony.

In addition to the main punishment, both are prohibited for 3 years 6 months to engage in activities related to management in commercial organizations. Also, each was fined 1.35 million rubles.

Earlier in this case, a sentence was handed down to an employee of MTU Rostransnadzor in the Southern Federal District Sergey Vikhor, who received money transferred by the heads of companies.

Earlier it was reported that in Sochi checked more than 100 enterprises for illegal employment.
