Krasnodar, 29 September – Yug Times. In Adyghea, one of former highrank officers of the Department of Penitentiary Service is suspected of fraud. In Maikop, a former deputy head of a correctional facility has been detained on suspicion of fraud. The criminal case was opened against him on the grounds of an offence under part 3 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (the so-called 'white-collar fraud'). "In May 2023, one of the convicts serving a sentence in the prison asked the deputy head of the facility to prepare documents characterising him on the positive side to be submitted to the court with a petition for parole," the press service of the regional Investigative Department stated. "The officer agreed to issue the necessary documents for a monetary reward, but in fact he never meant to fulfil his promise. Then, the convicted person transferred the money to the bank account specified by the officer, which he used at his discretion."
