Dmitry Doshchatov is suspected of receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. For this crime, he faces a prison term of 8 to 15 years.

The Moscow official may also be sentenced to pay a fine in the amount of 80-100 times the amount of the bribe received by the defendant in the case.

If Doshchatov is found guilty, he also faces a ban on holding certain government positions.

Circumstances of the case

It is specified that Doshchatov may be involved in the conclusion of works worth three billion. However, in fact, the works were done only for one billion rubles.

It is noted that the missing amount was stolen, and the first deputy head of the Moscow metro was given a Toyota RAV4 car so that he could help conceal the fact that the contract had not been fulfilled.
