Yes, it's correct and I'd say it's normal in Russia to pay to supervisory authorities to ignore violations. And yes the receiving part is also subject of prosecution but it can be ignored as well or be part of another court process. Recent death of 55 miners in Kuzbass shows how common this pattern is. All safety equipment in the mine has been disabled or shortcutted but all inspections considered that mine to be safe to use. UPD: obvious part of the story is the fact that 10-40% of that 130 million contract has been stolen by militaries and food suppliers.
