Russia (bbabo.net) - In Nizhny Tagil, a trial was held in the case of the former head of the city traffic police department and three of his subordinates, who were accused of abuse of office.

According to the press service of the Investigative Committee of the Sverdlovsk Region, in July 2020, two inspectors stopped a car driven by a driver who was deprived of his license for three years for violating traffic rules. They delivered him to the department, but they did not take the car to the impound lot and draw up a protocol: their manager gave such an instruction to his employees. The perpetrator got back behind the wheel.

After this fact was revealed during the FSB investigation, the police officers were fired from the internal affairs bodies - this happened back in 2020.

The Tagilstroevsky district court appointed the ex-head of the traffic police department two years in prison, his subordinates 9-10 months each. Former law enforcement officers will serve their sentences in a colony-settlement, the regional prosecutor's office specified.
