“The Petrozavodsk city court ruled on the detention of Bodnarchuk for a period of two months,” the UK said.

According to the investigation, Bodnarchuk in the period from 2018 to 2019 received through a mediator from representatives of commercial organizations a bribe in the amount of more than 1.5 million rubles for solving issues related to urban development.

A case was instituted against him under part 6 of article 290 of the Criminal Code of Russia (receiving a bribe on an especially large scale).

Earlier, URA.RU, citing the prosecutor’s office in the Kurgan region, reported that a verdict was handed down to a former investigator accused of bribery in Kurgan.
