The court confirmed the verdict of a corrupt investigator who extorted money from hackers.

The Moscow City Court confirmed the legality of the verdict of the Nikulinsky District Court, which satisfied the requirements of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation in relation to the former head of the investigative department of the GSU IC for the Tver district of Moscow, Marat Tambiev, accused of extorting more than 1 thousand bitcoins from the hacking group Infraud Organization. The press service of the Court of Appeal said that "the decision was not changed," writes TASS .

On June 19, the Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow ruled in a civil case against Tambiev, according to which 1,032 bitcoins belonging to the defendant were confiscated in favor of the Russian Federation.

Tambiev, who was investigating the activities of members of the Infraud Organization, began to demand bitcoins earned by them illegally from the accused. Hackers contacted the FSB, which led to the arrest of the investigator. Later, his subordinates were also arrested. The Prosecutor General's Office filed a lawsuit to recover bitcoins received from the defendants. A case of bribery was initiated on this fact.

In March, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow sentenced members of the Fraud Organization on charges of illegal circulation of payment funds committed by an organized group, according to part 2 of Article 187 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The appeal panel of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation left unchanged the decision to transfer to the Balashikha Court of the Moscow region a criminal case against former metropolitan investigators accused of receiving 1,032 bitcoins as a bribe from members of the hacking group Infraud Organization, the press service of the court told RAPSI.

"The decision of the court of first instance was left unchanged," the agency's interlocutor said.

Earlier, the Supreme Court granted the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation to send a criminal case against ex-investigators Marat Tambiev and Kristina Lyakhovenko to the Balashikha Court of the Moscow Region.

According to investigators, the defendants received a bribe in cryptocurrency from members of the hacking group Infraud Organization for not arresting their assets.

In June last year, the Nikulinsky court of Moscow turned 1,032 bitcoins received by the former head of the investigative department for the Tverskoy district of the capital, Marat Tambiev, into state revenue.
