As reported in the Main Investigation Department of the TFR in Moscow, a criminal case has been opened against the policeman who was in charge of the investigation department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Yaroslavl district of Moscow.

“He is suspected of committing a crime under paragraph b of Part 4 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (theft on an especially large scale)”, - the Investigative Committee reported.

According to the investigation, a high-ranking security official received information about a large sum of money seized within the framework of a criminal investigation. After proceeding, the money was placed in his safe.
