Moscow culture chief is arrested

Moscow culture chief is arrested

The former head of the Moscow Department of Culture, Alexander Kibovsky, has been arrested and charged with bribery and fraud. He faces up to ten years jail.

As in all such cases in Russia at present, the charges may be politically motivated.

Kibovsky, 51, is a state councillor of the Russian Federation. He was fired from his culture post ten months ago by the Mayor of Moscow.

The post Moscow culture chief is arrested appeared first on Slippedisc.
