OREANDA-NEWS A high-ranking official of the Investigative Committee (IC) was detained in Moscow on suspicion of corruption. This was reported by RBC, citing sources. According to the newspaper, we are talking about the head of the investigative department of the Tversky district of the Investigative Committee Marat Tambiyev. He was caught red-handed while receiving a large sum of money.

Tambiev, an employee of the Investigative Committee of Russia, was detained on the night of March 25 when receiving a bribe from a lawyer. He was given a total of 10 million rubles. However, most of this amount was a fake. Real bills of 200,000 rubles were marked.

The publication provides no other details. Investigative actions are underway in the department where Tambiyev works. The detention was conducted by members of the FSB own security directorate, the newspaper said.

Earlier, the court in Norilsk sentenced former prosecutor of the city Khavazh-Baudi Gutayev to 15 years in a strict regime penal colony for taking bribes on a large scale. The businessman, who gave the prosecutor 3.1 million rubles, received 12 years in prison.

It follows from the materials of the criminal case that Muslim Umarov, a representative of Promresurservis, gave the prosecutor 3.1 million rubles. In return, Gutayev was to influence the decisions of the head of the housing and utilities department of the Norilsk administration and to induce local entrepreneurs to conclude subcontracting agreements with Promsursservis for at least 25 million rubles.
