Foreign national to stand trial in Leningrad Region for attempting to bribe a police officer

According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Leningrad Region, the investigation into a criminal case against a foreign citizen in the Volosovo district has been completed. He is charged under Part 3 of Article 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (attempted bribery).

The incident occurred on July 15, 2026, in the village of Bolshiye Syaglitsi, Volosovo district. During preventive measures carried out by police officers, it was discovered that the foreign national had violated the rules for staying in Russia. Law enforcement officers informed him that he needed to be taken to the station to draw up an administrative report.

According to the investigation, while in the patrol car, the accused offered a bribe of 11,000 rubles to the police officer in order to avoid administrative liability. He asked the officer not to take him to the station and not to file an administrative report.

The police officer refused the offered bribe and reported the incident to the duty unit. As a result, the crime was not completed. At present, all evidence in the case, including witness testimonies and video recordings from the scene, has been collected, and the criminal case has been sent to court.
