A Moscow city court has placed three senior officials from Domodedovo Airport's customs service under house arrest, all of whom are suspected of taking bribes from passengers, a news report said Friday.
Vladimir Gavrilov, the head of a Domodedovo customs checkpoint, and two of his deputies, Dmitry Vereshchagin and Alexander Chernov, are accused of having ordered their subordinates to collect fees from Vietnamese passengers in exchange for neglecting to inspect their baggage, the TASS news agency reported.
The group is accused of having collected 19,000 rubles ($295) over four separate incidents, the report added.
Gavrilov and his two deputies will remain under house arrest for the next two months.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
