Judicial price. The bribes in the Russian judicial system - from investigators to people in mantles - are usually told by lawyers and relatives of the detainees. Those who pay these bribes and therefore be released will be unlikely to ever tell who, when, how much and for what they paid. But sometimes it happens that documents are said about bribes: interrogation protocols, official letters and statements. At the disposal of The New Times, such “speaking” documents were on January 30 in the Moscow City Court with the participation of a jury begins the trial. At the dock, the former head of the department for the investigation of especially important cases of the Moscow Interregional Investigation Department for Transport Ivan Kozhevnikov and his deputy Alexei Malkov. Both of them are accused of receiving a bribe of $ 4 million.
The defendants do not admit their guilt, stating that they became a victim of a reservation from their subordinate, investigator Grigory Domovts. The latter was detained by the FSB officers on May 25, 2010 when receiving a bribe of $ 500 thousand.

What are the investigation services for investigators and judges?
They pay for a change in preventive measure - from arrest to any other, not related to imprisonment. Judging by the indictment, the director of the Narofominsk refrigerant Dmitry Mostman was ready to pay the investigator $ 500 thousand for a change in the preventive measure with respect to his employees from the detention of a recognizance not to leave. The decision not to prosecute the “lucky” will cost more than $ 1 million. Also, $ 1 million is re-qualifying actions from a difficult article to a softer one: in the case in question, the article was initially “looming” article 188, 4 (“smuggling on an especially large scale”, punishment from 7 to 12 years in prison), and as a result of all the defendants were released from custody. And finally, the general patronage of the criminal case and his consideration in court costs $ 1 million.
True, it happens that the investigator can also offer a smaller amount: for example, the investigator Vladislav Musiak offered the investigator from $ 300 thousand to € 300 thousand. For this money, the investigator had to agree to the request of the defendant Ginzburg to release him on bail. Although, as it turned out, it was only a part of the amount. The rest of the money was given to the judicial.

They pay for changing the preventive measure, retraining of actions from a difficult article to a softer and general patronage in the investigation of the criminal case and considering it in court
"
The services of the court “The lawyer told the house that the money was already entered in court - how much is necessary and who needs it. The only thing is behind the investigation, that is, for us, ”writes the accused, the former investigator,“ Vypolnyak ”, Ivan Kozhevnikov, in the testimony of his lawyer from the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center.
This is curious here's what: that the judge, and not just the judge, but the chairman of the philistine court of Alexander Recteus are going to buy is known in advance. At the request of the same Kozhevnikov, the deputy chief of the Department of Economic Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Nazarov, who oversees the investigation, announced this at the request of the same Kozhevnikov. Here is an excerpt from his letter to the chairman of the Moscow City Court Olga Egorova: “In the course of operational support, information was received that gr. Musyaka Vladislav Nikolaevich (who is a member of the Moscow Lawyer Bureau “Protection System”) takes actions aimed at bribing the chairman of the Meshchansky District Court in Moscow A.A. and federal judge Yakovleva A.A. In order to change the preventive measure in relation to gr. Ginzburg M.L. And the release of the latter on bail. "

The Lemon for the Moscow City Court, however, on March 24, 2010, the Moscow City Court abolished the decision of the judge of the Meshchansky court of Yakovleva to capture Ginzburg, and on March 30, 2010 the same Meshchansky court released him on security of 15 million rubles. Who specifically paid the accused is a secret. But the fact is a fact: the preventive measure was changed.
However, some surnames pop up in the testimony that Ivan Kozhevnikov gave his lawyer in the Lefortovo pre -trial detention center: “In the early days of April 2010, on the initiative of Judge Yakovleva, I had a conversation with her. She informed me that the order to release Ginzburg was received from the Moscow City Court and that a lot of money was paid to the Moscow City Court for the release of Ginzburg - $ 1 million. Those who paid this money and to whom she did not say. Yakovleva said that there is an indication that in relation to other accused of smuggling in this case, a preventive measure in the form of detention was not extended. Judge Yakovleva said: very respected people from the Moscow City Court asked me to talk about this ... And if we do not fulfill this request, relations between the philistine court and our investigative administration will spoil, and we will regret it. ”
But the already paid $ 1 million - it happens - it didn’t work: on May 12, 2010, the Mosgorsud Judicial Collegium canceled the decision on pledges in relation to Ginzburg and sent everything again to the same Meshschane court. The intermediate result of this story is as follows: Dmitry Mostman, fearing the arrest, turned to the FSB of Russia for help, reporting that they were extorting a bribe. On May 25, the investigator of the house was arrested.
And on May 27, the Meshchansky court issued a decision on the re -arrest of Ginzburg. The case was referred for further investigation into the Office of the IC of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District.
