Moscow Court Disregards Plea Bargain in Bribery Case

Moscow City Court sentenced Grigory Domovets, a former senior investigator in the Investigation Committee of the Prosecutor's Office Grigory Domovets, to three years in prison on bribery charges. Judge Valery Novikov disregarded a deal with the prosecution under which Domovets pleaded guilty and testified to expose his corrupt superiors and the prosecution withdrew some of the charges and requested a suspended sentence. After the sentencing, the prosecution reversed its position and announced that the sentence is well-grounded and lawful. The defense intends to appeal.
