In Kozbas, the head of the Rustandezor department was accused of taking a bribe for lifting the ban on working in the mine. The investigation believes that from August to October 2024, the head of the territorial department Belovsky, through an intermediary, received 400 thousand rubles from the head of the former Siberian construction company. For money, the official had to approve the elimination of industrial safety violations without inspection. Such a conclusion will allow the company to resume its work in the mine, which was stopped for 30 days, before the deadline. Both were arrested on October 29, 2026 and charged with accepting and giving bribes. The next day, the Kemerovo Central District Court sent them to house arrest until December 29. Telegram | MAX.
