“It was established that in 2023, an officer of the Federal Penitentiary Service from the region received a bribe from a representative of companies in the total amount of at least 330 thousand rubles when executing government contracts for the manufacture of uniforms for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Guard and the Ministry of Emergency Situations,” the FSB press service reported. “The money was transferred for general sponsorship of commercial organizations and tailoring, forcing prisoners to work overtime.”
According to the department, the director of the investment company was caught red-handed while receiving money: on the evening of June 11, a representative of a commercial organization gave him at least another 130 thousand rubles for speeding up the procedures for the execution of the contract and reducing the cost of the work performed, the Investigative Committee of the region said.
The actions of the criminal justice official are classified under the article on large-scale bribery, which provides for a sentence of seven to 12 years with a high fine and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for another 10 years. The actions of a representative of commercial structures fall under the article on bribery. He faces the same punishment with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions for seven years.
The court decided to place the detainees under house arrest and pretrial detention.
