According to a statement from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the Moscow Regional prosecutor's office and the police department have been involved in a multi-million dollar illegal gambling business. A number of suspects were arrested, including the gambling business owners, policemen and prosecutors. The FSB said, in particular, that the organizers of the gambling business paid for vacations abroad for the prosecutor's office staff and police. The FSB added that illegal gambling areas were located in 15 cities in the Moscow Region and that some 1,200 slot machines were seized during its recent search. Since 2009, gambling has been illegal in Russia except in four specially designated areas.
