A deputy prosecutor of Moscow’s Northern Administrative District was convicted Wednesday along with two associates of receiving more than 13 million rubles ($416,000) in bribes, Interfax reported.
The Golovinsky District Court is scheduled to hand down sentences next Tuesday, with prosecutors seeking 13 1/2 years for the prosecutor, Vyacheslav Trofimov, who pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution said Trofimov, 30, exhorted bribes from suspects in several fraud and smuggling cases and also obtained a Bentley sedan and a motor boat through graft. He was arrested while accepting a $100,000 bribe in 2008.
