The Ryazan Region investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee as part of the investigation against senior officials of the Ryazan Region Directorate of the Traffic Police of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs over bribery on large scale have initiated one more criminal case against Alexander Alfosov, Chief of the Regional Directorate. He is suspected of a crime under part 3 of article 159 of the RF Criminal Code (swindling).
According to investigator, in July 201, Alfosov purchased a PhD degree in economics, which he then submitted in the staff service and financial provision center of the Ryazan Region Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to get a bonus for the degree. Total illegal bonuses paid to Alfosov amount to 13 thousand rubles.
We remind that since April 2012 there have been 10 criminal cases opened against senior officials of the Ryazan Region Directorate of the Traffic Police, which are combined in 2 law suits. Four senior officials of the regional traffic police are under investigation: Chief of Ryazan Region Directorate of the Traffic Police of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Alfosov, his Deputy Valery Vyshinsky, former Deputy of Interregional Registration and Examination office of Ryazan Region Directorate of the Traffic Police of the Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Igor Tislenko and close to Alfosov Special Duties Inspector Alexey Kristelev. All of them are charged with bribe-taking and intermediary in bribery on a large scale, in total of about 2.5 million rubles. The accused received the money from officers of the regional traffic police directorate for general patronage and connivance in service, positive grades for driving examinations. In addition, the said senior officials demanded from their subordinates to issues so called “fine numbers” and driving licenses for money, and to give expensive gifts. They also took bribes from businessmen for not prosecuting them for administrative violations and for giving them the traffic police cars as escort in transportation of bulk cargoes to the construction sites.
At present under the investigators’ petition Alfosov, Vyshinsky and Tislenko are arrested. Kristelev is under 3 million rubles bail.
The criminal case over swindling in purchasing a fake degree in economics is combined in one law suit with those opened earlier over bribery. Investigation is to be continued.
