A court has recognized the evidence collected by the Kostroma Region Office of the Investigative Committee sufficient to convict former police officer Aleksei Nikonorov found guilty of crimes under Part 3 of Article 272, Part 1 of Article 286 and Part 3 of Article 290 of the RF Penal Code (illegal access to computer data, abuse of office and bribery) and co-chair of the regional branch of RPR-PARNAS of Saint Petersburg Andrei Pivovarov found guilty of crimes under Part 3 of Article 272 and Part 3 of Article 291 of the RF Penal Code (illegal access to computer data, bribery).
The court and investigators have revealed that in the period between between 19 and 27 July 2015, Nikonorov abused his office when he several times provided Pivovarov with personal data of the residents of the region, including personal and passport details via the integrated database of the Kostroma Region Office of the Russian Ministry of the Interior meant only for internal use by getting him inside the police stations in Kostroma and using logins and passwords of registered users of the website of the information center of the Kostroma Region Office of the Russian Ministry of the Interior. This was the way Pivovarov checked personal details of citizens on subscription lists meant for being submitted to the election commission of Kostroma Region in order to run in the elections. For his illegal actions the police officer got from Pivovarov a bribe of at least 50,000 rubles.
The court has sentenced Nikonorov to 3 years and 9 months to be served in minimum-security correctional facility and a fine of 3 million rubles, as well as has banned him from taking positions in the Ministry of the Interior for 2 years. Pivovarov was fined by 1.5 million rubles and banned from taking positions on state service or local governments for 1.5 years.
