Russian Militia given order to abolish corruption among staff in 30 days

Internal Affairs Minister Rashid Nurgaliev has ordered the police to eradicate corruption among staff within a month. “I’m giving you 30 days to take urgent measures for eradicating corruption in your ranks and files, and if no results are achieved within this period, serious consequences, without regard for positions, ranks and previous achievements, will follow.” 

However, it seems that Nurgaliev has ordered the ‘militia’ to do the impossible, a kind of ‘mission impossible operation,’ because, according to Russian Supreme Court Chairman Vyacheslav Lebedev, the highest level of corruption in state organs is in the police.
