Presnensky court in Moscow sentenced Nikita Belykh to 8 years in a strict-security colony and a fine of 48 million rubles, according to the Telegram channel LIFE SHOT. Judge Vasyuchenko announced that Nikita Belykh was acquitted for one of the episodes of taking bribes - from Albert Laritsky in 2012. Earlier the investigation stated that in 201-2012 the ex-governor received 200 thousand euros from businessman Albert Laritsky for help in renting forest plots at a reduced rate. "There is no conclusive evidence that the money transferred by Albert Laritsky to Sergei Shcherchkov was intended for the Whites," said the judge.
