As part of the corruption case against the former deputy governor of the Bryansk region, Alexander Petrochenko, one of the defendants has given a confession, TASS reports.

“There is information about a criminal event and reasonable suspicion of the involvement of Petrochenko A.S. in the incriminated act, which can be seen from the results of operational investigative activities, the confession of the suspect, and the testimony of witnesses,” the report says.

The name of the suspect who gave evidence has not been disclosed. His son's property has reportedly been placed under administrative arrest.

Petrochenko was arrested in mid-October last year. The official was caught red-handed while accepting a bribe from a businessman. He told the investigators everything about the corrupt official.
