In Yekaterinburg, a sentence was handed down to a fraudster who stole a bribe of 50 million rubles.
The Lenin District Court of Yekaterinburg on Tuesday, June 9, issued a verdict in a criminal case regarding the embezzlement of over 50 million rubles by one swindler from another.
Before the court stood 43-year-old Alexander Sviridov from Chelyabinsk, who was approached for assistance in illegal activities by the director of LLC "UralDorStroy," Nver Kolozyan.
The latter was looking for a "middleman" through whom he, the director, could pay bribes to officials for the protection of his organization when signing government contracts for the construction, major repairs, and reconstruction of roads in the Chelyabinsk region.
Mistakenly believing that Sviridov was acquainted with the officials who had the specified powers, the director of LLC "UralDorStroy" offered him to act as an intermediary in the bribery, the Sverdlovsk region prosecutor's office reports.
Sviridov agreed to the proposal, not intending to fulfill the illegal obligations he had taken on.
From April 2021 to May 2022, over 50 million rubles were transferred to accounts controlled by Sviridov by the director of LLC "UralDorStroy."
The court sentenced Alexander Sviridov under part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud, on a particularly large scale) to 3.5 years in a general regime colony, with a fine of 900,000 rubles.
The verdict for the director of LLC "UralDorStroy" was issued earlier. As reported by 74.RU, the "king of contracts" received 6 years in a colony and a fine of 40.5 million rubles based on two cumulative sentences—for fraud and bribery. The latter was intended for supervisory agency employees so that they would accept poorly conducted road repairs from him.
