"The fight against corruption is a very multi-faceted process, that is very bumpy and very complex," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Yes, fighting corruption is hard if your top anti-corruption official and your top police-force are corrupt.
Btw, Russia Today also reported on this. But they somehow chose to make it a short and clean-cut article on point.
(Why don't they report on this the same sensationalist way they report on bad things in the US? With tangents to other news-stories, with emotional pleas, with reposts of Tweets...)
