Heads of the tax inspectorate were arrested in Krasnodar

The heads of the tax inspectorate were arrested in Krasnodar. Lenta.ru was informed about this by the investigative department of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia for the region.

They are accused under Articles 290 (“Taking a bribe”), 291.1 (“Mediation in bribery”) and 291 (“Giving a bribe on an especially large scale”) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

According to the investigation, in April the head of a commercial organization turned to an acquaintance, who was the head of one of the interdistrict tax inspectorates, with a request for assistance in resolving tax control issues. She agreed to stop the inspection and not hold the organization accountable, demanding a bribe of two million rubles for this. As a result, the briber gave the intermediary money, which he transferred to the defendant. Then the accused transferred part of the received amount to her subordinate, the head of the desk audit department and the intermediary of the monetary reward.

Currently, the former head of one of the tax inspectorates has been detained by an investigator from the Investigative Committee. She was chosen as a preventive measure in the form of detention. The court imposed preventive measures on the remaining officials in the form of house arrest.

Searches were carried out at the places of residence and work of the defendants, during which objects and documents relevant to the investigation of the criminal case were confiscated. The criminal case continues to carry out a set of necessary investigative actions aimed at collecting and consolidating the evidence base, as well as possible other episodes of illegal activity.
