Anna Zaytseva, formerly a federal district court judge in the Amur Region, was found guilty of knowingly entering unjust judgments and sentenced to a suspended prison term of five years. In 2000 she upheld 60 suits against the Russian government related to certain bonds of the former USSR, which the USSR had failed to pay off. Zaytseva ordered to pay to 10,000 plaintiffs some 550 mln rubles ($20 mln), but her judgments were later reversed by higher courts. In 2007 another judge of the same court, Alexander Kozlov, was sentenced to a suspended three-year term for upholding claims related to similar bonds.
