Anton Vinogradov, former Deputy Prime Minister of the Komi Republic, was detained in Moscow on suspicion of receiving a particularly large bribe (Part 6 of Article 290 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Vinogradov has been working in the Komi government since May 2023: first as deputy, and since August 2024 as First Deputy Prime Minister. His responsibilities included developing public-private partnerships and coordinating work with large businesses.
At the end of February 2022, he left the region and moved to Moscow, where he received a job offer from a state corporation. The investigation is being conducted by the Investigative Committee on the basis of FSB materials. In the near future, the court will choose a measure of restraint for him.
