2024: Detention in a bribe case
On April 24, 2024, employees of the Main Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee and the FSB detained Svetlana Strigunkova, former First Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Region. She is suspected of receiving a bribe in the amount of at least 150 million rubles.
In the Moscow region, the official oversaw the health unit. According to the Kommersant newspaper, she resigned from her post in March 2024 of her own free will. According to investigators, the woman took multimillion-dollar bribes from companies engaged in the overhaul and current repair of hospitals near Moscow. Moreover, Strigunkova received such "remuneration" both while working in the Ministry of Health near Moscow and in positions in the government of the Moscow region.
The investigation learned about the alleged corruption of the official from the former Deputy Minister of Health of the region (previously Svetlana Strigunkova headed the ministry) Alexander Zakharov, who was arrested in mid-January 2024 by the Tver District Court of Moscow on charges of bribery. According to the publication "Lenta.Ru," during the searches in Strigunkova's house, large sums of cash, many luxury goods and valuables were seized.
The woman is suspected of committing crimes under Part 6 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code (taking a bribe on an especially large scale). Such an act may be punishable by imprisonment for a term of eight to fifteen years with a fine of up to seventy times the amount of a bribe or without it and with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions. As of the end of April 2024, investigative measures are being carried out with the official.
