| Subject: Corrupt statists in Russia to prosecute YouTube police whistleblower Tue Dec 29, 2009 5:44 pm | |
| A former policeman who accused senior officers of corruption in a series of video blogs will himself face prosecution for abuse of office, Russian investigators said on Monday.
Former police major Alexei Dymovsky became a household name in Russia earlier this year when he used YouTube to appeal to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to tackle corruption in the police force.
A criminal case will be brought against Dymovsky for "fraud committed by a person using his official position," the Prosecutor-General's investigative committee said in a statement. It gave no further details.
Dymovsky said the charges were fabricated. "They want to silence me and gain revenge," he told Reuters by telephone.
