Bribery case against Russian investigator to go to trial

MOSCOW, March 3 - A criminal case on charges of bribe-taking and abuse of office against a former high-profile investigator, Dmitry Dovgy, will be handed over for trial at the Moscow City Court on Tuesday, Russia's main investigative body said.
"A deputy prosecutor general approved the indictment on the criminal case yesterday," the Investigation Committee said.
Dovgy, who led a series of high-profile probes, was dismissed last April allegedly for divulging confidential information and negligently carrying out his duties. He was later accused of accepting a $1 million bribe. Dovgy has repeatedly denied the accusations.
