Police officers at the St. Petersburg metro face serious trouble. Officials searched eleven metro cops during a bribery investigation. These officers allegedly stopped foreign workers to demand cash. They used another person as their money collector. The migrants sent payments to this helper's account.
The corrupt acts happened between June 2024 and February 2025, according to city police reports. One case took place at Zvenigorodskaya station, where officers caught two foreign workers. These migrants agreed to pay 20 thousand rubles to avoid problems. Law enforcement took all suspects for questioning. Investigators plan to talk with them very soon.
The police asked migrants for money instead of filing paperwork against them. This scheme helped officers collect illegal payments from many people. They targeted visitors who feared legal issues. The investigation continues as more details come to light. Authorities want to stop such criminal behavior throughout the metro system.
