The chief doctor of the district hospital was arrested for two months in a bribery case.
The district court in Khanty-Mansiysk arrested the chief doctor of the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Clinical Hospital and one of his subordinates for two months. Both are charged with bribery-related offences. The chief doctor of the hospital is Alexey Satinov, who previously served as the chairman of the Nizhnevartovsk State Duma.
The court made the arrest decision on November 6 based on the results of closed sessions, and recognized that it was impossible to impose more lenient preventive measures on the accused.
According to local media, Stinov was arrested on November 5. The detainees' offices were searched, and law enforcement officers seized office equipment.
This is not the first case of bribery at the hospital. In January 2025, Kommersant reported that a criminal case had been opened against the head of surgical department No. 3 of the Nizhnevartovsk Regional Clinical Hospital, Vasily Koliadko. According to the source of the publication in the law authorities, the doctor is suspected of accepting bribes from patients for performing surgeries outside of his turn. As Baza reported, the estimated bribe amounts ranged from 20 to 120 thousand rubles.
