    Levon Chakhmakhchyan, representing the Parliament of the Republic of
    Kalmikia at the Russian Federal Council, was arrested when taking a
    bribe of US$300 thousand. "Vzglyad" business paper informs that the
    special operation was held on June 2 in Moscow. The money confiscated
    from Levon Chakhmakhchyan was marked with special matter and it did
    not make difficulty for security service employees to find out the
    origin of these.

    According to the data of the Federal Security Service, the confiscated
    cash was just part of the bribe. The rest of the sum had to be
    transferred to a bank account. The whole sum totaled US$1.5 million.

    "According to "Interfax," Chakhmakhchyan declared, "he touched neither
    the money nor the bag, and he did not even know what was in it."

    Chakhmakhchyan's son-in-law, assistant to the Auditor of the Counting
    Chamber was also arrested. Chakhmakhchyan considers this is also part
    of the persecution against him.

    The above-mentioned special operation became a new link in the circle
    of resignations at the higher Chamber of the Russian Parliament. To
    remind, late in May Head of the Nenets Autonomy Alexey Barinov was
    also arrested. He was charged with financial machinations, which cost
    the state 19 million rubles.

    Following this, three senators - Boris Gutin, Alexandr Adabashyan
    and Igor Ivanov prematurely terminated their liabilities.

    June 2 the Federal Council terminated the liabilities of Senator Arkadi
    Sargsyan, representing the Parliament of the Republic of Khakasia.
