February 26, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. A bribe-taking police officer has been detained in Dubrovno district, Valery Zabavsky, head of the investigative department of the Vitebsk region prosecutor's office, told a BELTA correspondent. The law enforcement officer received $150 from the organizer of the illegal export of ferrous metal from Belarus to Russia for not indicating the presence of the cargo in the administrative offense report. Thus, the owner wanted to receive a minimum fine for his offense in court and keep 4 tons of ferrous metal. A criminal case has been initiated against the 30-year-old man by the Vitebsk region prosecutor's office under Part 1 of Article 430 of the Criminal Code of Belarus for receiving a bribe, which provides for up to 7 years of imprisonment with possible confiscation of property. Another law enforcement officer will have to face trial in connection with this incident, Valery Zabavsky added. Thus, a criminal case has been initiated against a traffic police inspector of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Internal Affairs Department for instigating bribery, who recommended the smuggler a "suitable" person. -0-
