A woman from Irkutsk was convicted of trying to pay a bribe - she wanted to save her lover from deportation.
A 46-year-old woman tried to pay a police officer 20,000 rubles so that her partner would not be deported from Russia for violating immigration laws.
The prosecutor's office stated that in June of this year the man was brought to administrative responsibility and it was decided to deport him from the country. To avoid this, his lover approached the senior inspector of the immigration control department and offered a bribe.
The policeman refused and informed the management. However, the next day, the Irkutsk woman still gave the inspector 20 thousand rubles, and put them in a notepad on her desk. The bills were confiscated.
The accused pleaded guilty. The court sentenced her to two years of probation with a three-year probationary period and a fine of 100,000 rubles.
