Eager fish inspector struggles to grasp prize elusive in Kamchatka.
A Rosrybolovstvo inspector in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai, is facing allegations of criminal activity. The inspector, identified as Dmitry Kovalev, is accused of abusing his office by fabricating false protocols against four citizens.
According to reports, Kovalev aimed to ingratiate himself with his superiors by fabricating false evidence. His actions were intended to gain approval from his superiors and secure a bonus by improving his work performance.
The inspector's actions resulted in the falsification of four protocols, leading to four innocent individuals being falsely accused. If proven, these actions would be a violation of Kovalev's official duties.
The charges against Kovalev are outlined in part 1 of article 285 of the Criminal Code, "Abuse of Office." The penalty for this offence can range from a fine of 100,000 rubles to five years in prison. Additionally, a ban on holding certain positions for up to three years can also be imposed.
The actions of Kovalev are still under investigation, and the case is gaining attention in the region. The photo of the case is available on dzen.ru for those interested in learning more.
If proven, Kovalev's actions could potentially impact his future employment opportunities. Beyond the criminal charges, the inspector's actions were illegal and resulted in false accusations, which could have legal consequences beyond the immediate criminal charges.
The inspector resorted to illegal means to gain approval from his superiors, a serious breach of trust that undermines the integrity of Rosrybolovstvo. It serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the law and maintaining honesty in public service.
