The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case for accepting a bribe and mediation in bribery in Samara.
“According to the investigation, on July 18, 2022, the suspect, holding the position of head of the department, received 75 thousand rubles as a bribe through an intermediary from the previously agreed upon amount of 150 thousand. The illegal reward was intended for facilitating the election of a person suspected of committing a crime, a preventive measure in the form of a recognizance not to leave the place and changing the classification of the latter’s actions to a crime that provides for a lesser sanction,” said the regulatory department of the Investigative Committee.
According to security forces, the money was transferred by a subordinate to the suspect. She holds the position of head of the department for investigating crimes in the field of illegal drug trafficking and weapons. FSB officers carried out a special operation to detain the suspects together with employees of the internal security department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Samara Region.
Let me remind you that we are talking about police officers I. Kuznetsova and A. Utina. Both have now been suspended from official duties. In the criminal case, in which, according to the investigation, they wanted to “resolve the issue,” there was data about intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm.
