The Kremlin on Monday insisted it was serious about tackling endemic graft in Russia after a top anti-corruption official was busted with over $120 million in cash. Dmitry Zakharchenko, the acting head of an anti-graft agency at the Russian interior ministry, was formally arrested on Saturday for receiving "especially large" bribes after police found banknotes worth more than $120 million in a raid on a Moscow flat. A source reportedly said: "The final amount is unknown. (Police) confiscated a cache only in (Zakharchenko’s) house; it is not yet known how many more assets (he has), but we are working in this direction." A Kremlin spokesman said President Vladimir Putin had been informed about the latest high-profile graft case to rock the country and insisted authorities were cracking down on rampant official graft. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/13/russias-anti-corruption-boss-arrested-with-120-million-in-cash/
