By IANS/RIA Novosti,
Moscow : A former director of Russia’s office for the coordination of the fight against organised crime and two of his accomplices have been found guilty of cheating a man of $10 million.
Lt. Gen. Alexander Bokov, with his friends Kraimer and Stepanov, in 2005 misled a businessman, saying that they could assist in the acquisition of a controlling stake in one of the largest transport companies.
For their service, they demanded $46 million from the businessman, said the spokesman for the investigative committee, Vladimir Markin.
The businessman gave Bokov’s trustees more than $9.5 million in 2006, but no action followed after that.
The victim approached the police, and the men were detained.
