Former head of Russian village sentenced to prison for bribe by car

The former head of the Boshnyakov rural settlement of the Sakhalin region heard the verdict: nine and a half years in prison. The reason was receiving a bribe in the form of a car worth 6.3 million rubles. This was reported in the press service of the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Sakhalin region.

As established by the investigation and the court, the convict, holding the post of head of the rural settlement, accepted from representatives of the commercial structure through his spouse – he acted as an intermediary – a bribe in the form of a foreign car.

In return, it was supposed to ensure unhindered acceptance of works on overhaul of yard areas and water supply networks, as well as assist in the acquisition and installation of equipment for the boiler house. To give ownership of the car the appearance of legality, the defendants issued a contract for the sale of the car to a third party.

A criminal case was initiated on the basis of materials of the FSB of Russia in the Sakhalin region. The spouses were charged with several compositions at once: receiving a bribe in an especially large amount (part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), mediation in bribery on an especially large scale (part 4 of Article 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and legalization of property acquired by criminal means by a group of persons by prior agreement (paragraph b of part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The South Sakhalin City Court appointed the woman nine years six months in a general regime colony. In addition, she was deprived of the right to hold positions related to organizational, administrative and administrative powers in local self-government bodies for a period of five years.

Her husband received nine years in a strict regime colony. Both were fined 6.3 million rubles. The car was confiscated to the state.

The former head of the military mission received 9 years for bribes on defense orders.

The fate of the electric car of the deceased ex-minister of transport of Russia is revealed.
