Some 100,000 Russian Govt Officials Unlawfully Involved In Business Activities - Prosecutor
MOSCOW. Feb 19 (Interfax) - About 100,000 Russian government officials have been implicated in various offences incompatible with public service, including involvement in commercial activities, said Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika.
"A number of facts have been established confirming that these government officials were unlawfully involved in commercial activities, owned shares and stakes, held paid jobs in commercial entities, and even simply failed to submit (tax) declarations, something that is required by law," Chaika said at a Prosecutor General's Office expanded board meeting in Moscow on Tuesday.
"At the prosecution agencies' demand, over 100,000 people had to put their affairs in order," Chaika said.
"The organization of all law enforcement agencies' efforts in combating corruption-related crimes needs significant adjustment," he said.
