The deputy head of Arkhangelsk and the deputy director of the organization’s subordinate mayor’s office were detained for taking bribes in fraud at a solid waste landfill. A case was initiated under Part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (receiving a bribe by an official by a group of persons by prior agreement, on an especially large scale), the regional TFR reported.
The names of the detainees were not released by the department. According to a RIA Novosti source, these are the deputy head of Arkhangelsk for municipal services, Vladislav Shevtsov, and Oleg Pugin from the Special Automotive Service for City Cleaning.
According to the TFR, the suspects received 150,000 rubles each month from a representative of a commercial organization for two years. This money was allegedly given to them “for the implementation by an interested person of entrepreneurial activity at a solid domestic waste landfill” located on Okruzhnoye Highway in Arkhangelsk.
According to preliminary data, the suspects received illegal cash rewards in the amount of more than 3.5 million rubles. The men were detained by the FSB. The measure of restraint for the defendants has not yet been chosen. The case has been taken over by the Investigation Department for the Lomonosov District of Arkhangelsk.
