In the Leningrad region, investigators completed the investigation of a criminal case against a former traffic police officer. The materials mention bribes of 47.2 million rubles for patronage in the field of road freight transportation.
According to the press service of the regional department of the Investigative Committee (IC), a 39-year-old former traffic police officer will be in the dock. The law enforcement officer is charged with forty crimes related to taking bribes in an organized group, along with colleagues from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Transport. Thirteen people were involved in the scheme, investigators believe.
It follows from the materials of the case that individuals and cargo carriers gave money to the security forces in order to receive “general patronage and connivance in the service.” Rewards could save merchants from liability for future administrative offenses. The attackers acted from March 2018 to August 2019, the prosecutor’s office of the Leningrad region specified.
“The investigating authority at the stage of preliminary investigation seized the property and funds of the members of the organized group, including the accused, for a total amount of about 40 million rubles,” the Investigative Committee noted.
The names of the defendants in the criminal case were not disclosed in official releases. Earlier, the media reported that the person under investigation could be the deputy commander of the third separate battalion of the traffic police, Major Nikolai Andreev.
