CEO of FBU «GKZ» Igor Shpurov detained on suspicion of taking a bribe

Law enforcement agencies told Interfax that Shpurov was detained red-handed the day before. They also said that a preventive measure will be chosen for him soon.

Shpurov is accused under Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — taking a bribe on an especially large scale. Investigative actions are now being carried out in the case.

Rosnedra told Interfax that it is providing the necessary assistance to law enforcement agencies. Shpurov heads FBU “GKZ” and was appointed general director by order of the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use in December 2013.
