1. The subject of the dispute is the accusation of an official (PERSON_6) and a lawyer (PERSON_7) of corruption crimes related to extortion and receipt of undue advantage.
2. The court found it proven that PERSON_6, using his official position, in a prior conspiracy with PERSON_7, received a portion of the undue advantage in the amount of 5,000 US dollars for closing the criminal proceedings and not conducting investigative actions. Also, PERSON_6 and PERSON_7 incited PERSON_12 to provide undue advantage to the management of the prosecutor’s office for assistance in closing the criminal proceedings. The court took into account the testimony of witnesses, materials of covert investigative (search) actions, expert opinions, and other evidence. The court rejected the defense’s arguments about provocation of a crime, violation of jurisdiction, and inadmissibility of evidence. The court excluded from the accusation the qualifying element of extortion of undue advantage, as well as the element of committing a crime in the interests of a third party, since these circumstances were not confirmed during the trial.
3. The court found PERSON_6 and PERSON_7 guilty of committing the incriminated crimes and imposed a sentence of imprisonment with confiscation of property, as well as additional penalties.
