BlockBeats News, December 27: A traffic police officer in Ufa, Russia, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for stealing around 20 million rubles (hundreds of thousands of dollars) worth of Bitcoin. The case dates back to 2022 when the police officer illegally gained access to the mobile phones of two detainees while handling a case, used a messaging app to transfer the BTC from their encrypted wallets, and engaged in violent evidence collection. The court sentenced him to 7 years in a regular regime colony, ordered him to compensate the victims with around 20 million rubles, and stripped him of his rank. (Bits.media)
