Seven former police officers were convicted in Krasnoyarsk. They organized a criminal scheme that guaranteed cargo carriers unhindered passage through the territory of the region for a monetary reward, the Investigative Committee and the prosecutor’s office reported.

The “green corridor” they created allowed transport to move in violation of traffic rules without any consequences. During the year of operation of the criminal mechanism, the total amount of bribes received exceeded 1.3 million rubles.

Each of the main defendants received from 270 thousand rubles. The group’s activities were stopped by officers of the Russian FSB Directorate for the Krasnoyarsk Territory in March 2020.

The court sentenced the participants in the scheme to real terms of imprisonment – from 7 to 8.5 years in a maximum security colony. Additionally, they were deprived of the right to work in law enforcement agencies for up to 8 years and ordered to pay fines of up to 1 million rubles.

Previously, the group's organizer and seven other members had already been convicted.
