The court on Saturday considered the issue of the arrest of the acting head of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dmitry Zakharchenko , who, during the search, found "bags of money". The court was announced in the court the amount of the searched during the search: as Moscow reports, the investigator said that the colonel found $ 125 million and 2 million euros. Regarding their origin, sources report various versions. So, the interlocutor of Interfax said that Zakharchenko contributed to the flight from the investigation of the ex-head of the Vmpelcom Mikhail Slobodin . The court expectedly arrested Zakharchenko for a period of two months.
TASS from the courtroom reports that Zakharchenko was charged on three articles of the Criminal Code - abuse of authority (Article 285), on the prevention of justice (Article 294) and on the receipt of a bribe (Article 290).
In the course of the court, Zakharchenko stated that he was charged with receiving a bribe of 7 million rubles, and refused to admit guilt. He also said that the apartment, where they found 9 billion rubles, belongs to his sister. And the car, where the money and documents were seized, is also not him.
The lawyer asked the court to release the colonel on bail of 70 million rubles (i.e. ten times higher than the amount of the alleged bribe). The investigator said that Zakharchenko was checked for other similar crimes.
As a result, Zakharchenko was arrested. “The court ruled the investigation to satisfy and choose a preventive measure in the form of detention in the form of a period of a period until November 8,” Judge Tatyana Vasyuchenko announced the decision.

The press secretary of the Presnensky court of Moscow informed RIA Novosti that Zakharchenko was suspected of receiving a bribe. Materials for the arrest of the acting Acting Guinobipk entered the court. The day before, the agency reported that he was charged with another article of the Criminal Code - on the abuse of authority. The same article was mentioned by another TASS State Agency.

The source did not call the exact amount, but clarified that the huge amounts of money were found both in the apartment and in the office of Zakharchenko - these are “money bags”.
A source of Interfax estimated the amount of the seized house from Zakharchenko at 70 million rubles.
