The Odintsov City Court of the Moscow Region sentenced the former deputy director of the FSIN Valery Maksymenko to nine years in prison. He was found guilty on the charges of abuse of official powers and receiving a large personal bribe. This is reported by Kommersant.

Maksymenko was stripped of his title and state awards, and more than 330 million rubles will be demanded from him. In addition, the former deputy head of the FSIN was fined 43 million rubles and banned for 11 years from holding managerial positions in state structures. The accusation demanded 15 years of imprisonment for Maksymenko.

Maksymenko was detained in November 2020. According to the investigation, in 2018 he illegally organized the receipt of state contracts for the construction and repair of facilities under the federal target program “Development of the Criminal-Executive System”. As a result, according to the indictment, 14 objects were not put into operation, and due to additional construction costs and fines for late execution of contracts, the state suffered damage in the amount of more than 189 million rubles. Later, a second criminal case was opened against Maksymenko for receiving a large-scale personal bribe. He does not admit guilt.

  • Valery Maksymenko was appointed to the position of Deputy Director of the FSIN in 2016. Among other things, he was responsible for interaction with mass media. Many human rights activists noted that under him the agency became the most open of all law enforcement structures.
  • Maksymenko declared that he was ashamed of the department. As an example, he gave the head of a colony in Krasnoyarsk Krai, who dipped a prisoner’s head into the toilet, and then went on to be promoted, becoming the acting deputy head of the department.
  • In 2018, Maksimenko apologized to Yevgeny Makarov, a prisoner of the Yaroslavl colony, who was questioned by FSIN officers. The leadership of this colony was acquitted by the court a week before the arrest of the general.
