Alexei Chernykh of Russia's anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work

Must have been Russia. They dislike anything that is anti-corruption.

I'd be willing to bet that their anti-corruption police are just as corrupt as their normal police.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

I like to think he was killed for shaking down the normal police for bribes to cover their corruption.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

I’d like to think he was killed for planting the marigolds next to the petunias.

Oh no, not again!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That fucking monster!

Well they are trying to free Ukraine from nazis with nazis,… so it’s kind of their m.o.

No, corruption = Putin.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

And you are correct.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing that these corruption police are just for appearances, or to be used to get rid of anything that Putin himself labels as "corruption", since they work for him.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Well there's corruption that flows to you, but corruption that doesn't flow to you? You better believe that's a paddlin'.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I would say it wasn't a paddlin', more like an explodin'.

I would guess such a post is a pretty useful tool for Putin. Since everybody is corrupt in Russia, and that is an accepted fact, you always have some leverage over everybody with the looming threat of being charged for corruption if you happen to displease the czar.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

No, they are making sure that corruption is done correctly.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

No, they are for checked box. FSB and GRU does all getting rid of.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

But since everyone is corrupt in Russia, anti-corruption means you can go after whoever you want to get out of the way.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I figured out the culprit.

Since logically, we would blame the second in command at the anticorruption police, the culprit is number 3 who's hoping to frame number 2
