Do Not Mess With Fish 102,

and you thought fish were fun! well Federal Fisheries Agency official Boris Simonov did not when trying to evade capture, I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time, to throw 10 million rubles ($320,000) out his car window on a busy Moscow street whilst being chased by the Federal Security Service, Simonov and his boss, department head Roman Postnikov, were under surveillance, Simonov tried to flee police officers in his Cadillac SUV but crashed into another vehicle because he was distracted by throwing money out the window, not knowing that all the banknotes were marked by the FSB, it said, Postnikov was nabbed in a separate operation in the Moscow region as he was handing over official documents and a forged contract to the head of Lucia Plus, a Moscow region fishing enterprise that was found to lack the required operational permits during an inspection by the Federal Fisheries Agency, 1 million rubles ($32,000) of scattered money went missing, possibly collected by passing motorists, Kommersant reported Saturday, this is not the first time that the agency has fallen foul of the law, in April, Igor Bakulin, an aide to agency director Andrei Krainy, was charged with accepting a $250,000 bribe for salmon fishing permits in the Pacific Ocean, I wonder if in the UK cod bribes or permits are being sold 'under the counter?'
