Apparently the contractor who was hired to install surveillance cameras in Moscow decided to cut a few corners and provide police with recorded images instead of installing some of the cameras. I wonder how long the system was in place before the police discovered they had beeen conned?
Police have learned that CCTV cameras all across Moscow streamed prerecorded pictures, while the company servicing them received more than a million dollars in payments.
The company, StroyMontageService, has been accused of security fraud. Police have detained its director, Dmitry Kudryavtsev, who denies all charges saying the scandal is an attempt by his rivals to squeeze him out of the market. (Russia Today)
