💨 Abstract

A former Russian state investigator, Marat Tambiyev, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for accepting bribes worth approximately $73 million, the largest in modern Russian history. The bribes were primarily in bitcoin from an organized crime group. Tambiyev's lower-ranked colleague, Kristina Lyakhovenko, was sentenced to nine years. Both plan to appeal.
