The former head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan, Faily Salikhov, has been sentenced to 7 years in a strict regime.

      Three more people are involved in the criminal case regarding bribery. The trial of the former head of the department of the Cabinet of Ministers of Tatarstan, Faíl Salikhov, for mediating in a bribe is nearing completion. The prosecution has requested seven years in a strict regime and a fine of 25 million rubles, as well as a ban on holding managerial positions for five years. The lawyer asked for Salikhov's acquittal, but in the event of a guilty verdict, insisted on a suspended sentence.

      A total of four people are involved in the case: the briber Marat Mingazov, intermediaries Valery Saltykov and Rishat Satdarov, and the former official Salikhov. Mingazov transferred 2.5 million rubles through Saltykov, who claimed that Salikhov could not help due to the judge's death. After the court's refusal, Mingazov reported the bribe, and Salikhov wrote a confession upon learning of the judge's death.
