MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - A Moscow court sentenced on Tuesday a former high-profile investigator, Dmitry Dovgy, to nine years in prison for bribery and abuse of office.

A second man, Andrei Sagura, was also convicted and received eight years in jail.

Dovgy who led a politically-motivated investigation into corruption allegations against a deputy finance minister, Sergei Storchak, was found guilty on Wednesday of taking a 750,000 euro ($1 million) bribe.

Dovgy, who maintained his innocence throughout the judicial process, will serve his prison sentence in a strict regime.
