The police found 500,000 dollars while searching the apartment of the mayor of Yaroslavl, who is suspected of accepting bribes.
This was reported to RIA Novosti by a representative of the interior ministry. “During a search, 500,000 dollars were found that belong to the mayor. Immediately after the arrest of the town’s head, his daughter tried to take the money out of his flat at night, but the doorway was blocked by law enforcement, and she hid he funds in a neighbour’s flat”, the agency’s source said. According to him, the police found out, and now the money has been seized and is evidence in a criminal case.

Half a million dollars lying around at home. That’s how people live.

NOT at home, at his neighbours!!

If his daughter is past the age of criminal responsibility, she should get a “tryoshka” for aiding and abetting.
[Note: “tryoshka” is used here ironically in reference to the way Putin described the sentence given to Pussy Riot]

100% they planted it.
sakurah: (responding to above)
Let them “plant” this on me… I’d even take 10%.
nikolayivk: (also responding to previous commenter)
146%
[Note: this is in reference to a rather unlikely figure quoted as voter turn out in one oblast during elections in 2011]

Greed of the lowest order.

This is what the mayor of Yaroslavl in the provinces has! Mother of God, imagine how much the mayor of the huge city of Moscow has?!

ALMOST everyone is corrupt! But if you’re corrupt, at least don’t show off!
dtgc:
Isn’t this the same mayor the opposition so amicably supported in the elections and were so proud of his success?
romantic_cinick:
How did the police find out? Was there a bug hidden in the money?
