Boss Chains Subordinate to Tree

I have been a bit lax in relating some of the news stories out of Russia. This one though...

"Russian Police are investigating a case of a boss who chained his subordinate naked to a tree in the forest to punish him for badly done work".

The 39-year-old was found handcuffed to a tree in Russia's Far East town of Belogorsk. On 26 May, the man was found by railway workers after his boss left him there almost 24 hours. The man claimed that his boss beat him up, drove him out into the forest, made his strip naked, and then handcuffed him to a tree for refusing to engage in "illegal actions".

During the course of the preliminary investigation, police found that no illegal actions were sought by the boss, but rather that the boss was angered by the employee's botched efforts on a job.

The boss has been charged with illegal restriction of a man's freedom, which carries a 2-year maximum jail sentence.
