The investigation brought charges in the final version against the deceased general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ex-deputy GUEBiPK Boris Kolesnikov, a RIA Novosti source close to the investigation reported.

Kolesnikov was one of the defendants in the case of abuse of power by representatives of the leadership of the anti-corruption department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His legal representative, his mother, was familiarized with the final version of the decision to bring charges against Kolesnikov. According to the source, Kolesnikov is accused of 21 counts.

The agency's interlocutor said that the investigation did not discontinue the criminal case against Kolesnikov, since his mother insisted on this. The general died in June 2014. According to the Investigative Committee, Kolesnikov asked to go to the toilet, broke away from the guards and jumped from the sixth floor balcony. Lawyers believe that Kolesnikov went out onto the balcony with the investigator, and the law enforcement officer returned alone.

The main defendant in the case is Major General Denis Sugrobov, the former head of the GUEBiPK. He was also recently charged in the final version. Sugrobov is accused of organizing a criminal community. The general’s subordinates, according to investigators, on Sugrobov’s instructions and with his knowledge, were involved in provoking bribes to officials and top managers. He does not admit guilt. Sugrobov will remain under arrest until at least May 7.

The day before, the court sentenced the former deputy head of department “B” of the anti-corruption directorate, Alexey Bodnar, to 5.5 years in prison. He was found guilty of abuse of power and provoking a bribe.
