The Central Federal District Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s investigative Committee has brought new version of charges against former head of the department for motorways and traffic affairs in Voronezh Region Alexander Trubnikov. He is charged with a crime under part 6 of article 290 of the RF Penal Code (bribery on an especially large scale).

According to investigators, in April 2013, Trubnikov offered CEO of OAO Voronezhavtodor (OJSC) to give him a fee of 5% from the sums under the motorways maintenance contracts. Fearing unfavorable consequences for the firm the businessman agreed and then went to law enforcement bodies. In May 2013, Turbnikov in his office three times received the money from the CEO of the firm totaling to 2.6 million rubles. The accused was held, when he was receiving the last portion, on 29 May 2013.

Trubnikov has been remanded in custody pending the trial. In addition, the investigators are checking him on involvement in other similar criminal acts over the whole period of his office since 2009. Investigation is ongoing.
