The head of the investigative department of the committee for the Tverskoy district of Moscow, Marat Tambiev, was accused of receiving a bribe in bitcoins from the hackers under investigation, corresponding to almost $24 million. Writes about this "Kommersant".
According to investigators, Tambiev received a bribe on April 7 last year from members of the hacker group Infraud Organization Mark and Konstantin Bergmanov, as well as Kirill Samokutyaevsky, whose criminal case was under his investigation. He took the money in exchange for not seizing the hackers' assets. The hackers themselves told the investigator about the bribe – they made a deal with the prosecutor, pleaded guilty and received suspended sentences.
On June 5, the Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow is to consider a lawsuit filed by First Deputy Prosecutor General Anatoly Razinkin, who seeks the confiscation of Tambiev's income. A case was initiated against Tambiev under Part 6 of Art. 290 (taking a bribe on an especially large scale).
