💨 Abstract

A former Russian state investigator, Marat Tambiyev, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for accepting $73 million in bribes, mostly in Bitcoin. The amount is five times larger than the previous record for a bribery case in modern Russian history. Tambiyev, who was investigating an organized crime group, allegedly arranged for more than half of the group's bitcoin fortune to be transferred to his own crypto wallets.
