On August 2, the Moscow City Court found Vadim Belousov guilty in the case of a bribe in the amount of 3.25 billion rubles.
Margarita Butakova, the former chief accountant of Chelyabinsk First Khlebokombinat OJSC, is also a defendant in the case.
According to investigators, from 2010 to 2014, Vadim Belousov and Margarita Butakova, as part of an organized criminal group, together with the ex-governor of the Chelyabinsk region Mikhail Yurevich and other persons, received a bribe from representatives of a road construction holding for general patronage of the activities of its enterprises.
The Moscow City Court sentenced Belousov to ten years in a strict regime colony in a bribery case.
