2025: Sentence - 10 years in a maximum security colony for a bribe of 10 million rubles to an FSB officer

In early November 2025, the Leninsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don sentenced Dmitry Gorokhov, an employee of the internal security department of PJSC Lukoil. He was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison for trying to bribe an employee of the regional department of the FSB.

According to the investigation, according to the Kommersant newspaper, Gorokhov acted in the interests of the managers of the bearing plant of 10-GPP LLC, who wanted to terminate the inspection of the enterprise by law enforcement agencies. The owners and managers of this plant, which supplies products, including for the needs of SVO, are suspected of fraud on an especially large scale (part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In 2020-2021, in the course of fulfilling the state defense order, 10-GPZ LLC concluded contracts with the state customer for the supply of bearing products totaling 1.5 billion rubles.

According to the case file, Gorokhov offered one of the employees of the FSB department 20 million rubles for stopping the inspection at the 10-GPZ enterprise. However, an employee of the security department, acting in accordance with the instructions, reported the impending crime to the relevant department. Gorokhov was supposed to transfer the first half of this amount on September 5, 2024 in the Maxim Gorky Rostov Park. During this meeting, he was detained by operatives.

The criminal case against Gorokhov was initiated by the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Rostov Region under Part 4 of Art. 291.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - mediation in bribery, committed on an especially large scale. The defendant will serve a prison term in a maximum security colony. He was also fined 70 million rubles.

It is noted that Gorokhov oversaw the Southern Federal District in the internal security department of Lukoil. Previously, he worked as an investigator in the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Moscow.^[1]
