"Marat Tambiyev, the former head of the investigative department of the Moscow Tversky District Committee, detained on corruption charges, received a bribe in bitcoins corresponding to almost $24 million (1.6 billion rubles) from members of the hacking group Infraud Organization in April 2022, Kommersant writes with reference to the case materials.
According to the investigation, Tambiyev received the cryptocurrency from the members of Infraud Organization Mark and Konstantin Bergmanov and Kirill Samokutyaevsky, whose criminal case was pending against him, for not seizing their assets. The alleged bribe was discovered during a search of the former investigator's apartment on Bolshaya Ochakovskaya Street in Moscow.
Among other things, according to "Kommersant," he was found with a laptop Apple MacBook Pro, which had been hacked only a few months later. In it, the attention of investigators of the central office of the Investigative Committee drew the folder called "Pension," which turned out to be a photo of a sheet of paper with the records of codes that allowed Tambiev access to 932.1 and 100 bitcoins.
