Bribe for desirable phone numbers: new chapter in case of ex-head of GIBDD, Krasnoyarsk region
Alright, let's dive into the sleazy escapades of Andrey Sirotinin, the ex-bigwig of Kransnoyarsk's Highway Patrol. The shady cat is back in the hot seat for allegedly flogging yet another batch of sweet license plates for cars.
Let's take a quick trip down memory lane. Sirotinin got nabbed in mid-January, and the beef is he abused his authority for the unlawful favor.
According to the po-po, Sirotinin got his subordinates to pull some strings for his buddy in the spring of '24, enabling him to pass the drivin' test despite failed attempts earlier. This buddy was renovating Sirotinin's crib, for the record.
But that wasn't enough for our old buddy. He also helped another pal dodge responsibilities for drivin' a car with an excessive tint job.
Things took a turn for the worse when they slapped him with a bribery charge. Starting in February of '24, Sirotinin and a minion, allegedly, teamed up with a go-between and personally, as the Cops believe, collected 925 grand from two Krasnoyarsk natives in exchange for the sweet, sweet gov't plates on nine motors.
Now comes the latest lowlife shenanigan—insider trading for 595 grand! If the investigators are right, these bucks scored them a neat set of coveted plates for ten trucks with specific letters and digits seared onto them.
Sirotinin's currently shivering behind bars, and the law enforcement's keeping a keen eye on other fishy moves by these parties tangled up in criminal probes.
