“This is the first time that the meeting was held in this format proposed by Aeroflot", said Alexandr Rusetsky, head of the department of the Prosecutor General's Office that oversees implementation of anti-corruption legislation. "Since Russian anti-corruption legislation draws on positive international experience and is one of the most advanced in the world, I am convinced that such discussions should be held systematically”.
