The former director of the Nestratov Satire Theater was arrested in a bribery case, law enforcement agencies told TASS.
He left his position as theater manager in August of this year. According to RBC, Nestratov is accused of mediating the transfer of bribes from a theater contractor to a former employee of the Moscow Department of Culture. The award, as the researchers believe, was intended to provide sponsorship during the conclusion of a government contract.
