The total amount of bribes received amounted to more than ₽1,5 million, which the former head of the department received from two directors of commercial organizations and two entrepreneurs. The corruption scheme had been in place for nearly four years and covered various types of procurement for the hospital. A NGS42.RU source in the power structures clarified that the convict was Pavel Boyko, who worked at the Belyaev Kemerovo Regional Clinical Hospital. In the medical institution, according to the interlocutor of the publication, his relative works as the head of one of the departments.

The existence of a corruption agreement became known to employees of the FSB in the Kemerovo region and the Department of Economic Security and Anti-Corruption of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kuzbass. After joint operational-search measures, the collected materials were transferred to the investigating authorities to initiate a criminal case.

The defendant was arrested during the investigative actions. His property and funds were seized in the amount of more than ₽24 million to ensure possible compensation for damage to the state. The size of the arrest significantly exceeds the amount of bribes received, which may indicate that the accused has additional assets of dubious origin.^[1]
