A former head veterinarian in the Dzerzhinsky district was sentenced to five years in prison for agreeing to accept a bribe. The arrangement was made during a private meeting with the director of a commercial organization. In return for the payment, the veterinarian was to favor that organization when the procurement of veterinary drugs took place. The reported misconduct concerned a future tender rather than a transaction that had already been completed. The information does not state the amount of the bribe or the names of the former chief veterinarian and company director. It also does not describe any appeal or broader recovery of the money involved.
