The investigative bodies of the Russian Investigative Committee for the Tver region have charged the temporary dismissed head of traffic police department of the Tver Department of Interior Ministry Valery Kucheryavykh with the crime under part 1 of article 285 of the RF Criminal Code (abuse of official powers).

According to the investigators, since January 2011 Kucheryavykh has demanded his subordinates every day to compile and submit to representatives of OOO VOSK-AVTO (Ltd.), the director and the sole founder of which was his wife, reports on detention of vehicles for traffic administrative offences. In accordance with the number of the reports the Tver region budget provided subsidies for a pound owned by OOO VOSK-AVTO. On this demand the staff of regional traffic police department during 2011-2012 compiled reports on traffic administrative offences without any legal grounds for that. Thus, the budget of the Tver region has suffered a damage of more than 5 million rubles.

The accused is under the written recognizance not to leave. At present investigation and search operations are underway to consolidate the evidence. The investigation is to be continued.
