The anti-corruption service has released images of Safonov’s villa, which astonish even the Russians. The ceilings are decorated with gold, the stairs are marble, and yes, the bathroom has a shiny gold toilet bowl. according to The Moscow Times this style has been out of fashion for years now, but Safonov was apparently not aware of it.
19 million
Colonel Alexei Safonov, officer of the local traffic police in Stavropol, has been arrested along with six other colleagues on suspicion of corruption. They would have pocketed at least 19 million rubles (that is about 220,000 euros) in exchange for permits for grain transports.
If found guilty, Safonov faces 15 years in prison.
