2024: Fine of 2.5 million rubles for bribes in the form of an electric scooter, TV and drone

On October 10, 2024, the Solnechnogorsk Garrison Military Court sentenced the former head of one of the departments of the Main Communications Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Slyusar. He was fined 2.5 million rubles for bribes in the form of an electric scooter, TV and quadcopter.

According to TASS, Slyusar received offerings from the management of Perm Telta Telephone Plant OJSC in 2019, 2021 and 2023. According to the investigation, bribes were given for "general patronage" - assistance in the speedy passage of documents in the military department necessary for Telta's participation in the state order, overstating the volume of products supplied by the plant, as well as assistance in accepting the company's products in a warehouse of one of the military units. The total cost of the received "gifts" is estimated at about 170 thousand rubles.

As part of the case, the prosecutor demanded that Slyusar be sentenced to seven years in prison, but the sentence turned out to be milder: the defendant was sentenced only in the form of a fine. He was found guilty under Part 5 of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of Russia - taking a bribe on a large scale.

Slyusar pleaded guilty and wrote a confession, remaining under recognizance not to leave. The bribe-givers, in turn, claimed that with the help of gifts they tried to establish interaction with Slyusar, who "always communicated in high tones and was distinguished by a fair amount of rudeness," marrying the documents they sent. It is said that after the scooter was presented to the official, he began to behave more restrained. It is also noted that Slyusar himself asked for an unmanned aerial vehicle as another gift: he planned to send this quadcopter for the needs of a special military operation, but did not have time in connection with the initiation of a criminal case and the investigation.[1]
