Having studied the materials of the check carried out by the Krasnodar Territory Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee on the receiving of money by the judge of Krasnodar Territory Arbitrage Sergey Rusov, the Chairman of the Russian Federation Investigative Committee has made a decision to submit to the Highest Qualification Board of Judges of the Russian Federation a statement on consent to start a criminal investigation into signs of a crime under part 6 of article 290 of the RF Criminal Code (bribe-taking).
According to the materials of the procedural check, the judge was considering the action of Sochi administration on recovery of penalty from a construction company. In October 2012 Rusov invited to his office a representative of a defendant, and offered him to give him 20 million rubles for ruling in favor of the construction company. The representative of the defendant agreed to the offer, but reported it to the Krasnodar Territory Investigations Directorate. Later the representative of the defendant twice met with the judge in his office and gave him the necessary sum. After the final receiving of the money the judge’s actions were stopped by operative agents of the Krasnodar territory Directorate of the Federal Security Service, who acted on the instructions of the investigators.
In case the Highest Qualification Board of Judges upholds the statement, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee will initiate a criminal case against the arbitrage judge S. Rusov, which will be investigated by the Central Office of the Russia’s Instigative Committee.
