A 37-year-old resident of Bryansk came to the investigator and wanted to bribe him so that he would open a criminal case against her husband. She was going to use this case as evidence of the validity of the case when applying for political asylum in the United States.

“On the afternoon of September 29, 2021, the suspect, while in the Karl Marx park in Bryansk, handed over 30 rubles (about $000) as a bribe for the production of fictitious documents to the investigator of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Bryansk region, who was acting as part of operational search activities. In these fictitious documents, the suspect asked to indicate that her husband was allegedly accused of committing a crime against the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation and the security of the state. The suspect needed such documents in order to request political asylum in the United States,” says the Investigative Department’s website.
