Bashkir investigators gathered clear evidence showing that eight employees from Ufa MREO GIBDD formed a criminal gang to peddle rights and accept bribes. This update comes from the Telegram channel Mash Batash.
Two years on, investigators identified all participants in the scheme. The group is being pursued as an organized crime organization. The defendants include the ringleader and former chief Ildus Shaibakov, along with his deputies Aidar Gindullin, Ildar Gubaidullin, Evgeny Evseev, Ilshat Zagidullin, Ildar Nafikov, Mikhail Pasitov, and Dinar Fakhretdinov. The men allegedly rewrote fleets and sold the rights involved. The case has been referred to the prosecutor’s office for action.
In August 2021, members of the Ufa traffic inspectorate were accused of creating a criminal society. Seven former Bashkir traffic policemen faced criminal proceedings. One organizer, Ildus Shaibakov, who previously led the Bashkir MREO traffic police, earned the media nickname golden traffic policeman and is currently in custody. Shaibakov has contested that nickname in court through his new legal representative.
